I have probably asked that question in every psychic reading I have ever gotten. We each have our own personal answer to that question, but there are some common threads which are true for all of us.

We are Spiritual beings who have always existed and always will exist. We are immortal and have no beginning and cannot die. We are inhabiting these fleshly bodies for the purpose of experiencing life in the physical plane. The memory of our true Self has been withheld from us so we could learn new ways to gain experience, understanding, and creative Self expression.

The purpose of life is to experience what our Inner Self creates for us as dictated by our Conscious Personality. Perhaps the Existentialists who said the meaning of life is that there is no meaning to life were exactly correct. Maybe life is just to be lived, with no judgment as to whether it is good or bad, or what should or should not be done. Nor can we judge what someone else should do. Each of us is here to express our own individualized essence of God. We are here to be all that we are. To do that we must take chances. We must dare to be wrong. We must dare to DO. There are no wrong choices, only choices not made.

We are NOT Spirit and matter. We are Spirit IN matter. Matter is an outthrusting of Spiritual energy into a denser level of existence. EVERYTHING on this level is Spirit disguised as matter. All of the Spiritual Laws apply on this physical plane because this IS the Spiritual plane.

Because we forgot who we are when we came into this level of existence, we set up "natural" law. These are the laws of Physics and Chemistry and the other Sciences. We created these laws to provide for our physical well being until such a time when we could consciously take care of ourselves. THESE NATURAL LAWS APPLY UNTIL WE REMEMBER WHO WE ARE AND TAKE CONTROL WITH A HIGHER LEVEL OF AWARENESS.

When we reach a certain level of awareness and understanding of who we are, that we are, indeed, God, then the full force of our true Self is made manifest on the Earth plane and we perform miracles. We don't have to consciously know how to do these things. All we have to do is to know what it is we wish to accomplish and picture in Mind the end result. Energy, being intelligent in and of itself, will do the rest, conforming to our will in the pictures we create.

If you were to visualize in your Mind so strongly right now a new Rolls Royce and go out to your driveway to see it, it most probably would not be there because you are not yet at that level of understanding. But, if you try structuring your life as you would like to see it go, then you would see the results right away, because you ARE that strong right now. Then maybe next year you get the Rolls.

But what we want to accomplish is to bring Spirit into our lives, so we do not have to picture everything in infinite detail. We do not have to tax the Conscious Mind that much. Merely create an attitude in yourself of love, prosperity, happiness and whatever else you want. Then allow the Spiritual energies to conform to your thoughts. We must create a fertile environment within ourselves for the good things in life to manifest. God wants us to be happy and have material pleasures. Because then we have more time and desire to look within ourselves and bring out our own Spiritual essence, awareness and creative expression.
