The Power of the Heart: Finding Your True Purpose in Life (19 page)

You get the idea experientially when you find that you are in fact connected to the whole chain of being, the whole ecosystem, that you are part of one spirit, one consciousness.

Follow your heart. Your heart knows that you are part of an infinitely large consciousness that gives you access to an infinite number of possibilities. Your mind filters reality, but your heart sees a hidden order and bigger picture.

From the moment that you are following your heart, your life will be full of wonders.

Synchronicities happen. Miracles happen. People show up, the exact person that you need to talk to today shows up right in front of you. Or the person that has an answer to your question calls you out of the blue. When you’re living with an open heart, miracles happen and you don’t have to create them from a sense of effort. They just happen effortlessly.

Synchronicity is in fact an expression of a shift in your identity, a shift from your head to your heart. Miracles become a more regular occurrence in your life. On an experiential level, you become increasingly
aware of the love and wisdom of your soul. Living in synchronicity means living the life you were born to live.

Synchronicity is a miracle. The only thing that you can do is to be open to synchronicity and pay attention.

 DEAN SHROCK

It’s a natural law of the universe: you align yourself with love and simply the universe begins to show the most miraculous ways for you.

Deepak Chopra writes in his book
Synchrodestiny
that, according to ancient wisdom, there are two signs that transformations are taking place within you that will allow you to connect with a higher consciousness. “The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don’t bother you anymore. You become lighthearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.”

Often it is a very good sign when synchronistic events happen, helpful factors come into your life, because it usually means that whatever you are engaged in, whatever activity you are engaged in, is connected with a deeper dimension.

Once you are aligned with your soul and you are aware of the hidden order behind your everyday life, you discover remarkable patterns and opportunities. Once you are aware of the all-encompassing spiderweb of connections, even the most insignificant events are full of meaning.

 GARY ZUKAV

We all live in a universe of compassion and wisdom and it pervades everything that we do. It’s there; we’re aware of it, or we’re not aware of it. It’s there.

When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.

—BYRON KATIE

Set your intention to discover what you are meant to do, now and in the long term. By asking your purpose, you open to your intuition and allow yourself to see things that your heart wants you to notice. You tap into a universal connection that will send things your way.

 ECKHART TOLLE

It is vital in any endeavor to ask yourself not so much, “What is it that I want in life?” but to ask yourself, “What is it that life wants me to do? What is it that life wants to express through me?” You can call it the totality also: “What is it that the totality
wants to express through me?” Or you can call it the divine dimension: “What is it that the heart really wants here?” And when you are aligned with that, that comes then as a very powerful impulse from within you—it could manifest as enthusiasm, it manifests as joyful doing, not stressful doing. In other words: you enjoy the present moment fully, you enjoy the doing. That means that you’re connected to a deeper level within yourself.

The fearful parts of your personality have a particular agenda. You might feel you must stay in a job with an assured income and other benefits, even though it doesn’t fulfill you. Your soul has a different agenda, and sees this job not as your ultimate destination but as a stepping-stone. If you feel stuck, do not despair or become resigned. Set your intention to stay connected with your heart. Listen to your intuition, which will help you onto the path of your dream and ultimate destination.

 ECKHART TOLLE

It is wonderfully liberating and empowering to be aligned with the heart, that which underlies all creation. And it is then that often you find helpful factors coming into your life out of nowhere. Those are synchronistic events, usually a confirmation that you are connected to that deeper level.

As you get onto the path of doing what you were born to do, you experience more and more synchronicity. Solutions will present themselves spontaneously, and usually unexpectedly, from the heart—that dimension of love, meaning, and happiness.

I think that we tap into the spiderweb of connections with laughter, with joy. Why does everything have to be so serious? Why would spiritual practice and love and everything have to have this heaviness in it? It’s all about joy, it’s all about light. I am never more connected to the world than when I am laughing. And I think that’s the whole point. We need to be joyful.
