What there is of me is formed for a spiritual purpose.
When I listen deeply, I can hear it.
I can feel it.
It is not shaped by this world, although it may take shape within it.
It has a different shape than the one I learned in order to prepare myself to have a job and to raise a family in this world.
The spiritual purpose shape comes to me in a different way.
Through listening.
Not through training and college courses.
Not through experiences, whether they are good or bad.
Through listening alone, I am given my purpose and the way to carry it out.
I don’t exactly know how to describe this, except to say it is a feeling.
When I listen, I get a feeling and then something comes to mind and I do it.
Or something comes to mind and I do something entirely different from what I thought I was supposed to do.
Anyway, it just happens.
And things happen around me, outside of me.
Things adjust.
Suddenly, I am assigned a new location.
Unexpectedly, the plans I had for that new location are changed and I have to do something else.
The new something else takes me off in a completely different direction.
And there I arrive.
Exactly where I am supposed to be.
Able to fulfill my spiritual purpose, which looks like a job in a location, but it is completely different.
