When I started to ask this
question, the answer started to
reveal itself to me over time and I
experienced the power of asking and
living different questions from what
we have been told to ask, or not to ask,
or simply never ask ourselves because
of the culture and societies we were
brought up in. For me, this doesn’t
matter if East or West, if educated or
not, if enlightened or not, as humans
we are all directed by our beliefs,
cultivated and inherited. And by the
two fundamental forces of love and
fear.
We can go to great length to
do whatever it takes to feel more
love and less fear. And when we feel
more love, we can share more love.
When we feel less fear, we spread
less fear. Of course, it works the other
way round too. But how often do
we truly stop and examine our own
beliefs? How often do we bring more
awareness to these fundamental
forces ‘behind the scenes’ as we move
through daily life? And if we do, how
to? And what do we do with them? I
am a very visceral person. It means, I
can feel a lot in my body and the way
I experienced life from an early age
here on Earth was, that I did not know
what these feelings meant and how
to deal with them. There was no-one
around to teach me, it is not what you
generally learn in school and since
it often felt very uncomfortable, I
unconsciously made the decision as a
child to switch these feelings off. To
Why on Earth
Are we Here ?….
“Our Beliefs,
Cultivated &
Inherited”
stop feeling and stop listening to my
body, to suppress my emotions and
to become really rational, as it was
what the world expected me to be
– rational, intelligent, hard working,
successful – or at least so I believed.
I am glad that my soul had
decided to create a few really difficult
life-situations for me in order to give
myself the chance to wake up, to
become more aware of what ‘operates
me’ and from there to be able to
change my ‘operating system’ to one
that is aligned with my soul, with the
light, the love, the power of God in
and through me. So why on Earth am I
here? I am here to serve Mother Earth
and all Her Beings. To shine, nurture,
grow and share the light wherever I
am. Not by ignoring the darkness and
my own shadows, no. But by shining
the light onto them, bringing my
whole being to light. Here I stand,
with all of me, my light and my dark,
my divinity and my humanity, the
way God created me, in my whole
vulnerability and raw nature, being
the One Light of many, the point of
light of God that ‘I am’ here in this
human form on Earth, serving life
and my dear sisters and brothers in
all forms and dimensions: humans,
animals, plants, elements….
