How to Find Purpose and Peace: Why Am I Here? by tacocat91

Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? Why am I alive? It seems that since the dawn of time we have been asking ourselves this very question. Kings and philosophers have puzzled and theorized, and paupers and plebeians toil under the sun wondering if there's more to life. Even today we seem to be frantically running here or there trying to get the latest scoop, wondering if someone has finally figured it out. People look high and low, and they try a number of things only to still feel unhappy and dissatisfied. In my own life, the only thing that has made me truly happy and given me peace for my soul is God. He has been the chief help in combating my anxiety and depression. For me, God has been the foundation that I've placed my life around and have built my identity. I write about how I've found purpose, peace and how you can too! Jesus loves you and has an amazing plan for your life! Buckle up, and let's read about the purpose of your life and how to find real peace!

My Journey Through Self Love by MiaDFord

This is my journey through self love. "I want to unlock the person I really am (through self-love), and not just continue living as the person resulted from the traumas and histories of my past." - My Journey Through Self Love

The Science Of Reality Shifting by HelpingPeopleShift

Challenging the cynicism of determination, both scientific and theological, is a necessity for the inquistive mind looking to break free from the chains of our current reality. All shifters seeking to shed the perpetuated self-doubts drummed into our subconscious minds that become limiting beliefs which hold back the shifter from shifting, need to read up about the science behind shifting, including Schrodinger's Cat, Hugh Everett's Many Worlds theory, simulation theory, and all the latest advances in quantum physics, to fully understand there is more to life than the here and the now. So long as society continues to view consciousness operating within fixed parameters, determined by physiology, social environment or divine plans / fate, our only experienced reality will be forever determined by outside doctrines rather than our own free will, enslaving ourselves into a lifetime of unhappiness, low self-worth and victimhood from which we struggle to escape. The paradigm shift of reality shifting, offers a means of liberating self-determination whether temporary or permanent, which was not widely accessible prior to the advent of the world wide web. To assure yourself reality shifting (quantum jumping) is real, read on, and discover how some of the sharpest minds of science validate a multiverse of many realities which you can now experience for yourselves.

Being the difference I want to see in the world. by JeremieThevisionary

As sad as it may be, we live in a world where the rich are getting richer, and the poor live in worse conditions every day. A world where people have to live behind masks and hide who they truly are, just to be accepted into this corrupted society. A world where everyone primarily thinks of himself and not about what he could to help his brother in need? Dive into my vision, be bold enough to read these chapters, and accept that you may have also been committing these mistakes that corrupt our society and together, let us grow into better versions of ourselves and begin to wonder; what if this had happened to me? How would I have reacted? What can I do to change my community? What if I decide to manifest my dreams every day instead of wishing they would happen? Every single part of this will be entirely unique but all interconnected by one subject, "the human nature". Only together can we change the world, don't be so lazy to think that it is the government's job to do so; take your responsibilities and act to see a change.

The Wings of a Butterfly by DavidJamesLeslie

This is the enlightening and motivating story of two young people searching for the meaning of life and self-discovery as they climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. It is a philosophical examination and discussion of the pondering queries of our time: • How did we get to where we are today and how do we go on? • What should we do with our lives and why should we help others? • What then, should we do and how can anyone know what is best? • How can we make the most of our time and how can we be a "Good" person? It is a treatise underscoring the profound realisation of the monumental significance that random events and chance meetings and interactions play in the random ebb and flow of the time and space continuum as we veer and turn on our twisted path through life. It is a contemplation of wants and desires, of choices and opportunities, of decisions and timing, of expectations and responsibilities, of adversity and courage and the changes that we go through on our metamorphic journey from caterpillar to butterfly on our unending quest for meaning and happiness in our lives. There are insightful and thought-provoking quotations from philosophers such as: Albert Camus, Decartes, Confucius, Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, George Santayana. There are evoking images from poetry and modern songs, from artists such as: Robert Frost, Leonard Cohen, T.S. Eliot, William Shakespeare, Lou Reed, The Beatles, Pink Floyd. There are literary selections from writers such as: Samuel Beckett, Joseph Conrad, Fedor Dostoevsky, Hermann Hesse, Eugene Ionesco, Franz Kafka. It is also an interesting and informative travelogue describing many fascinating and exciting adventures encountered in numerous countries around the world:

Severus stood a few paces before her. His eyes were on the ruined cauldron. "Tell me," his voice shook, and tears formed in his eyes, "why do you wear flowers in your hair?" He kept looking to his cauldron. "I don't understand." "How does such a simple ritual bring you happiness? Why are you always---" he stepped closer to her, "so---" by her elbows, he gently held her to him, "---happy?" A droplet escaped from his eye, splashing on the floor between them. He gazed his vulnerability into her eyes, his dark tresses brushing his chin. "Tell me, do you believe in shifting reality?" Severus's hooked nose brushed against hers. He repeated his response from last year. "I do not believe in miracles." ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯○○◯○○⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Rᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ, ғʀɪᴇɴᴅsʜɪᴘ, & ᴛʜᴇ ɪᴍᴘᴏssɪʙʟᴇ ʜᴏᴘᴇ. Tʜᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴘᴏᴛɪᴏɴ ʜᴇ ᴄᴀɴɴᴏᴛ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ.

SHIFTING WITH SCIENCE: - INTRODUCING THE DAZZLE METHOD by HelpingPeopleShift

Reality shifting's dogmatic deterministic critics accuse us of being daydreamers, refusing to believe there is any scientific basis to changing realities, however particle physics is central to the mechanism of transfering our consciousness from one version of ourselves to others, as this article will demonstate, when you read on. Shifting is absolutely logical and totally scientific. Don't be told otherwise! Science can and will ensure you shift. The Dazzle Method is a groundbreaking awake shifting method first publicised on Amino which uses the energy of photons of light to enable our conscious awareness to leave our Current Reality version of ourselves, and successfully shift to our Desired Reality. Using a simple light source such as a torch, a camera flash, or even the light from a phone, we dazzle our eyes, manipulate the light into central orb, and focus in on the Dazzle Spot, affirming the creation of a portal tunnel which will transport us to our alternate reality temporarily or permanently. It's as simple as that. Feel free to share wherever you like, on whichever platform you wish. The method currently has 660 likes of the main shifting Amino. Give it a try. Shifting needs your RAZZLE DAZZLE.....

The Artistry of LIFE: Knocking on the WHITE DOOR by VioletFlowersAuthor

Depression is the universe's way of telling you that you are on the wrong path. Unfortunately, the universe doesn't go to the trouble to point you in the right direction. Fortunately, this book does! If you are dissatisfied with the direction your life is taking, then learn how to take back the reigns. Go from being an anxiety ridden doormat to a self-aware Human Being of great strength and purpose. I highly recommend you read this book, it is far safer than drugs and way cheaper than therapy. Not only does it rearrange the world we know, it bravely takes us to places of truth that have been ignored for centuries. See the knowledge of the ancients compared to the knowledge of today. You will be amazed, entertained and hopefully, healed. Learn 'The Spirits' truths through balancing karma and save yourself from a life of antidepressant medications and alcohol abuse. Think of all the money you one could save if you could learn balance and forgo the vices! A brilliant, easy to read instruction book for the spiritually minded! Thank you for reading our book! Please take the time to leave a comment and rate this book. :) Alison B. Emery and Allan R. Emery
