In his book, Fate and destiny, Michael Meade suggests that divine purpose is for each individual life to be explored, expressed and lived to its fullest potential in its own uniqueness. It’s a joyous concept. In part, it is frightening, because we know the darkness that lurks, not only “without” but within. We are afraid to allow full expression to all that might arise within us. But it is also a reminder that not only do we matter to the world but that the only true measure of “success” is whether or not we have lived. If the universe, or God, needs the richness of our diversity and lived experience, then we become the eyes and ears, the very being-ness of God. We become Life , growing, learning, expanding. The greatest gift we can offer is our engagement and our willingness to fully know ourselves.
Such a choice is an act of courage, one that needs to be renewed in every moment. Deborah Milton, in her blog, The wisdom of not knowing everything, coins the term “creageous”, a compound of “creative” and “courageous”. The word “outrageous” might also sneak its way in there. Life, after all, is an outrageous prospect. If we follow Michael Meade’s precept, then it is our creageous selves that we need to bring to the offering table.
Life becomes a great mystery, with clues scattered everywhere. Like the “Hot Potato, Cold Potato” game, our own bodies and minds help us to discern the clues that are only ours to find. Success on anyone else’s terms would be, ironically, a failure to live up to the love that seeks divine expression within us.
If we bring our full conscious curiosity to following the clues that truly light us up, no matter how random or transitory they may seem, and if we allow ourselves to fully feel and know our uncensored response to the world, then we can create a grand and deep experiment in the question of being alive. We can all, whatever our circumstances in any moment, seek the courage to know the moment deeply, to our core, recording it in vivid detail within our spirits, responding according to our direction of growth. Whoever we are and wherever we find ourselves, we all have the potential to be divine life, fully lived.
