What is Your Life Purpose?

- Haven’t we all wondered if we were put on earth for a reason, to accomplish some unknown mission? Perhaps Walt Whitman was right when he said, “That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse”? This notion, however, raises so many questions: Do we even have a purpose or is life merely random? If we do have one, how do we find out what it is? How do we prepare for it? And once in it, how do we deal with practical issues like money? In this episode, Robert and Emily share the Course’s teaching on life purpose, which it calls our special function. They share the Course’s answers to practical questions on this topic, along with some of their own experience being called to fulfill a function that was different than either one had planned, yet in the end was far more rewarding.

You’re absolutely right about how the course teaches us to have a function. It often says salvation cannot be found alone. And when it says “you” it also means you all, all the sons of god. So we can’t just change our own mind, we must also be an example onto others so that they too can say “hmm, what is this path that they are on that gives them such peace.” We don’t give or force information, but we remain an example to the earth so that when they want to ask us what Christ is all about, we are ready and wiling to share.
Wonderful podcast! ❤❤❤
Changing your mind is the undoing of ego and love shines forth when the ego is out of the way.
These podcast episode themes tend to find me at the exactly the right moment and time. Thank you truly and sincerely!
"Just let the dog be a dog!"😍

This discussion has brought me clarity. Thank you.
So helpful thank you 🙏 ❤️
thanks Emily & Robert 🕊️
Great! Thank you so much for this very beautiful video ❤️❤️ you two are amazing. And thanks for keeping it so professional and true with what the course is really saying 💯❤️
Thank you
In the part that says you " you do not forgive the unforgivable but pardon is always justified , i thought it would be easier to understand if the word pardon would have a capital P - Pardon , it took me a while to work it out
Ones life is not about one purpose. One has many purposes during their lifetime.

I wonder if Bill didn't teach because he had a sense his life was not going to span enough time after he retired as he knew his health challenges too. Also I struggle with a partner who does not see things the way I do and its really difficult to apply your self fully when another person is disagreeing with you so much. carol how mentioned there was so much forgiveness he had to work on with Helen if it is remotely like my situation there are so many times you just think I cant do this and only work on applying it in yourself to avoid engagement in conflict. I am being called and I have said yes and just lately find so much teaching opportunity in recent change of situation in my life and I love it as God unfolds it for me. Its true this has brought more happiness than so much else in my life and all the things you talked about of why to say no come up for sure. thank you for your great great expansion of understanding the ACIM teachings so wonderful.
I'm looking for the questionnaire you indicated you would provide a link to - on finding your special function - ?
Sorry! Here you go: circleofa.org/library/special-function-questionnaire/
Thanks for your work. I have just bought and started the course. I assume we take the text that it is talking to us all not Helen?
Yes. Absolutely. The Course is for all of us. ♥️
My life's purpose is as a giggle initiator 💚
What does the course teach about ghosts.
Is it unusually many people who experience despondency and extreme anguish just existing in the world right now?
Unfortunately, no. But we can turn it around by saying yes to our function of forgiveness and love. ❤️
While I find ACIM generally quite interesting, I believe there is a problem that the concept of reincarnation seems to be denied by the book. There is ample evidence of reincarnation via NDE reports, other channelings etc. As many of the NDE stories appear to be quite credible, this seems to be raising questions about the actual authorship of ACIM. Any thoughts?
ACIM doesn't deny reincarnation. It simply says it's not helpful to the student because it takes the focus away from the present where the decision on whether to forgive or not is made. The notes in particular reference many of what appear to be Course scribe Helen Schucman's previous lives. Also, we believe this is a reference to past lives: I am quite willing to tell you about your past when it no longer is of any interest to your ego, and if it is of help to someone else. [CE T-5.VII.6:1] acimce.app/:T-5.VII.6:1
"No longer of interest to your ego" means that the ego loves to think we were someone great in a past life and the ego also loves to use the past to justify its own behavior in the present, e.g. I was abused in a past life and that why I [fill in the blank]." The Manual for Teachers has a whole section devoted to Reincarnation as you may know. I hope that's helpful.- Emily xx
How can God give me a function in this world while the Course says that He knows nothing about this world ? Thank you ❤
A great way to answer this for yourself would be to read Lesson 192: "I have a function God would have me fill." It discusses that tension between the reality of a formless Heaven and the fact that we have a God-given function in this world. I encourage you to check it out.
