The blueprint of life
13th Mar 2008
Hello lovely people
Why are we here? What is our purpose? If heaven, wherever it is, is so much better than earth, as religious people like to tell you, why do we bother coming to earth?
Is there such a thing as eternal life? If so, how does it fit in with life here and now? And what if eternal life is a myth? Does this mean that this life is our only shot at . . . what?
I was brought up in a Christian culture where eternal life is a given, never to be questioned or discussed. Life after death is also a given, and utopia that we all should aim at, because the life after death salvages us from the horrors of our existence here. As a result the Afrikaans culture has one of the highest levels of family murders in the world. The head of the family, namely the husband (without question) is expected to be a kind of superman, mister know-it-all, financial provider, macho lover, pious church man, world’s best father.
Failure in public areas, especially financially, is judged publicly. Failure in more private areas such as dysfunctional relationships often result in domestic violence, which is not discussed, because that also implies that the wife fails to keep the husband happy.
Let us take a step back and look at the bigger picture.
Assume that eternal life is a reality, a continuum that spans our lives here, the present, as well as any past and future lives. This resonates with me, i.e. it feels right for me to believe this.
If you find it difficult to accept the idea of eternal life and want to stop reading here, that is quite OK. All I can say to you is: live every day as if it is your last day, and grab every opportunity that comes your way.
But for the rest of us, let’s assume that eternal life is a reality. They I would make sense that most of us have had past lives, and will probably have lives in future, after this one.
If we had had other lives, it would explain things like child prodigies, moments of déjà vu, and even the evolution of mankind. That could be an explanation for the dramatic progress in science, quality of life, and, sadly, also destruction of the earth, in the past 150 years.
If we had previous lives, so did other people, including ghosts. Then it would make sense that we have the ability to communicate with the dead.
Why, then, are we here, when we can be elsewhere, in a supposedly much happier dimension?
We are here because each one of us, even beggars and murderers, has a life purpose.
Our lives are planned in detail before we even enter this world. We choose our parents and siblings. We choose the main theme of our lives, and the main players such as our spouses, children and even work colleagues.
We enter into a contract with these people, and they incarnate with us, and help us to live our purpose. That is the blueprint of life. It is written up in the akashic records, which are stored in the Hall of Records in another dimension.
The akashic records can loosely be defined as a collection of mystical knowledge encoded in a non-physical plane of existence. These records apparently contain all knowledge, including all human experience, of the history of the Universe. These records are described as a kind of mystical library that is updated all the time.
You can read more about our blueprints and the Hall of Records in the book Life on the Other Side by Sylvia Browne. This is an excellent book that describes in detail the dimension that we return to after death.
Each one of us has a purpose, and we become aware of that purpose in many ways. Sometimes we have a passion that rules our lives, and this can be seen in people that are passionate about their careers, such as teachers, entrepreneurs, in fact, people in just about any job, where they stand out because they put their hearts and minds into the job.
Other people chose a particular lifestyle, such as being a dedicated parent. Others may have a hobby that they attach far more value to than any job. Some people have chosen lives that allow them to deal with issues such as violence (by or against themselves), gender, faith, disability and so on. These themes run through our lives.
We often do not realise or understand that there are themes that we have chosen for our lives. The more challenging our lives, the more we tend to pity ourselves for our struggles. And the more challenging other people’s lives, the more we tend to judge then for failing to have a wonderful life.
But we forget to take a step back and acknowledge the blueprint that we agreed to for this existence.
We also forget that we can change the blueprint by learning from our experiences, and then spending out remaining time here with less challenges.
We also forget to acknowledge the contributions of those people who live their passions.
Why not find a calm moment and reflect on the themes that run through your life? Once you have identified the themes, you can focus on those that give you joy, and make peace with the parts of you that challenge you, and have a more fulfilling life, living out your own blueprint.
Read an extract from See my Badge, a short story that illustrates how a blueprint can run experiences in our lives.
