What do think when you hear the words “Divine Purpose?”
If you are Thinking, you may be missing the essence of what this could mean to you and the impact it could have on your life.
Eckhart Tolle, in The Power of Now, says that words are an entrance point, but cannot define the meaning of something. For example, the word orange is not an orange. But when you eat an orange, you experience the orange. This cannot be explained. What if the words “Divine Purpose” were put into the same concept? They should be.
Is what we are teaching bull*@%!? What would FEAR say?
In a moment of what I believe to be “human fear,” Michelle said to me, maybe everything we are teaching is bull *%$*#. Fear would also say that we are wasting our time and that no one wants what we have to share. Fear would say that we are fakes and phonies and that we don’t know what we are talking about. Fear would say that we better change our name, tone down our message, and dummy up a bit. We don’t know what we are talking about! Fear would coerce us to not say anything that would offend or turn people off. Fear would say, “HIDE!” My fear is disempowering and I have learned to give faith at least an equal voice.
What would FAITH say?
Our society is fear driven. If you listen to the voice inside of your head, you may notice that fear has a stronghold on you. The only way to combat fear in our culture is to give faith an opportunity to be heard. Faith says that, of course we are teaching what we need to learn. Faith says that all we need to do is show up and be authentic and vulnerable in our communication. Faith says to not water down the message we have for people, because the people who are ready to hear it will need its full intensity. Faith says that when we trust and deliver the message that we are living our Divine Purpose. Faith says that Michelle and I are the perfect people at this time to bring this message to the world and that we have been prepared all our lives to do so.
It’s okay to think differently! But don’t let your “thinking” control you.
Michelle and I often have a different take on things and I believe that adds life to the work we do together. Even in our name Divine Purpose Unleashed, we have sometimes very different things to say about it. For me the underlying energy of Divine Purpose is that innate in us as humans is a deep desire to contribute to the world in a positive way–to make a difference! When we are making a difference, we experience joy and passion for our lives and open up to the energies inherent in our makeup. (What would fear and faith have to say about this statement?). Our Divine Purpose can be expressed in numerous ways, and when we are living our purpose, we will experience satisfaction and fulfillment. We teach ways of getting in touch with the energies that lead you to the feelings in your body that tell you that you are on the right track. We call that Divine Purpose Unleashed. If you have an aversion to the words “Divine Purpose” you can do a couple things:
- Let your “thinking” control you and attach to the words with no regard to the message. Navigate away from this site as quickly as possible, because you are afraid that there are demonic energies at work. Cancel your subscription because you don’t want homeland security to track your internet communications. Be afraid!
- Be curious. Ask yourself, what is the message behind the words? What is in this for me.
- Use a word that works for you and allows you to hear the message of what we are sharing.
Maybe there are other things you could do… I am suggesting you bring your awareness to the table so you can choose a perspective that empowers you.
If we don’t know, then how do we make a living teaching people to live their purpose?
Only our ego would be worried about our ability to make a living teaching people to live their divine purpose, thereby manipulating us into into fear. In fact, I love being a partner with our clients. The more that we can admit that we don’t know, the more we can share in true humility the wisdom that our life lessons have for the world–authentically. In our own ways, Michelle and I have been searching all our lives to participate in a way that impacts the hearts of people in positive ways. Our Divine Purpose is to inspire and empower, and I believe we have hit the mark. That’s what faith says!

“Faith says that all we need to do is show up and be authentic and vulnerable in our communication. Faith says to not water down the message we have for people, because the people who are ready to hear it will need its full intensity.”
This quote for me sums up what I felt when I first read your blog, and it’s what keeps me coming back. Your integrity is what allows your message to shine through, and it certainly inspires and empowers me.
I’m personally not thrown by the word “Divine”, mainly because I use it regularly myself when I refer to things like the energies of Divine Love, Divine Wisdom and Divine Abundance. I think it’s important that we stay true to ourselves when we communicate with others and not have two sets of vocabularies – one for private use and one that we use when teaching (or interacting in any other way with people). I spent many years of my life running parallel vocabularies and as a result parallel worlds, and realised that I wasn’t allowing myself to fully connect with others as a result. I wasn’t allowing them to see the “real me”. Of course, some people may not like the “real me” who uses words like “Divine” that make them feel uncomfortable
. But – I figure that there are many teachers in this world for a reason… we all have our unique ways of expressing what boils down to the same message, and each of us can reach and connect with a different audience. If the audience was homogenous, then the world would only ever need one teacher!

I know what I am saying is true for me, but I am surprised that your comment gives me confidence to be even more authentic in my interaction. Thank you!
Dear CK -
This is the most important sentence in your great article.
” For me the underlying energy of Divine Purpose is that innate in us as humans is a deep desire to contribute to the world in a positive way–to make a difference! ”
I salute your Divine Purpose. And I share it with you joyfully!
Love,
Corinne
CK. You think I’m speaking from fear? Try TERROR!
I googled Divine Purpose to find out what the heck it said, guest what?
You and I ARE the Experts according to Google!
HELP!
OK. So what does this mean? It means I’ve been called to teach, inspire, facilitate and learn everything I can about living my Divine Purpose and help others find theirs.
It means that I can’t play small hiding in my laptop, but that I’ve got to own that I don’t have to have all the answers.
As you know, I don’t really play small, or hide.. and I’m not afraid of being called, but……
what an awesome opportunity.
I think I’ll write a post about your post! Stay reading.
Fear…the polarity of love…
Stepping into our hearts and committing to listen to our hearts and act from our heart can help us override fear which comes when we are predominantly in ‘thinking’ mode. Our heart knows our Divine Purpose. let us all find what makes our hearts ’sing’
I agree with everything that Mags said. In writing my blog articles, I have not wanted to offend anyone when I use the term God so I have used the words Divine, Universe, God/Goddess, Mother/Father/God all at different times in my articles. Most of the time, in my mind, I simply use God. God, for me, doesn’t necessarily mean the supreme male God of my childhood religions. The word God, again for me, encompasses all of the above characteristics or personalities of a Supreme Being, which is in itself another title that I could use to call God. I, for one, like the Divine Purpose title.
I have only had one person call me about my “schizophrenic rantings” (his words, not mine) about using the terms God and Universe and Divine in the same article. He was offended that I would talk like that in my articles. That was when I made the decision to call my Supreme Being whatever I am comfortable calling Him/Her/It. I like all of those descriptive names for God.
I do believe that we all have a Divine Purpose. That doesn’t mean that I don’t sometimes let fear come in and say, “Who do you think you are setting yourself up as some kind of expert.” Guess what, a friend told me that she did a Google search on incest and my articles are mostly what you will pull up so I guess Google considers me an expert on incest. That feels good and kind of scarey at the same time. The only thing I am an expert on is my life and how I choose to live it. I know what works for me and that is what I choose to share as a so-called expert.
I love your articles and the community that has grown up around those articles. You can’t please everyone. The perfectionist in me wants to try but it ain’t happenin’. I love that you feel vulnerable enough to express those doubts. I have done that for myself with some of my own articles. You are both a great combination of personalities. Keep it up.
Patricia – Spiritual Journey Of A Lightworkers last blog post..Mirroring—Good And Bad In Each Of Us
Patricia,
When someone has a reaction to a specific word, they lose out on the essence of what is being said. Looking for what is wrong, like attaching to a specific word, shuts people down to the message that is being delivered. I figure they will be shut down no matter what “word” I use. Everyone is at a different place in their evolution–the perfect place! We are all in the perfect place right now to learn what we need to in order to take our next step (back) toward wholeness.
Being experts on living your Divine Purpose, I would say that we have 2 lifetimes of experience in finding it ourselves. We don’t know anything! And we are willing to share everything we have learned about making this commitment to yourself to live a life of passion and purpose and fulfillment.
The reason I can call myself an ‘expert’ on Divine Purpose, is because I’ve searched my whole life, and I know everything, and I know nothing.. It’s a complicated journey for some, (like me), and I’m pleased to help navigate the waters with others.
Specific words don’t bother me. Just call G-D whatever you like. What is important is that you can get in touch with your own Divinity.
I’m loving this conversation. Thanks for all the great comments.
