Who am I and what is my soul purpose?
The School of Life

When life is demanding, it can be difficult to adopt a perspective that is wise. Your life situation takes center stage. You are more likely to be preoccupied with thoughts on how to deal with the ongoing drama. You are identified with your ego-centered self. You cannot help but blame everything and everyone for the situation that you are in. Yet, it is in the trials big and small – that life presents you with the greatest opportunity to evolve.

Express Your Soul Gifts

We all have at least a soul gift, a natural ability, a talent. It is something that we do better than most others. It is possible that it lays hidden or gets buried for a variety of reasons. What we need to remember is that our souls have intended for us to express it in our lifetimes. If you have been having the sneaky feeling that you are in the “wrong” job or finding your life a drag everyday, you may well be out of alignment in how you are expressing yourself.

Me In Every Thought
(photo by Jacob Botter)
From the time you are born, you are taught to identify your ego as the “I”. You learn that “my name is ________” , and soon you proceed to “this is my toy car” and “I am upset”. You identify yourself with things and if you did not get what you wanted, you get angry. You experience suffering. You also identify yourself with your gender, race, religion and country. All these make up “me and my story”. From young, you are already conditioned in your thinking.
Akashic Records On Chakra Imbalances

Our chakra system exists on all of our energy bodies; that is, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Imbalances of chakras are found at any of these levels, resulting in symptoms (eg. difficulty in verbal expression, inability to access intuition, sexual dsyfunction, etc). To deal with the symptoms, it is best to address them at root cause. Chakra imbalances can arise from various root causes, information of which is available from your Akashic Records.

Lose Yourself To Find Yourself
Lose yourself to find yourself seems like a paradox but it’s exactly what you may discover in your self-discovery journey.
I had used the metaphor of the mask to illustrate the dangers of identifying too closely with our masks. Problems arise when you think you are the mask. In reality, your mask is not you.
Your mask is just something that you wear that covers who you really are. When you lose the mask, it feels as if you are losing yourself. You may even resist the process. The losing of yourself is an illusion. When you start on a journey for self discovery, you will find that what you are really losing is your ego or form identification.

The Masquerade Play Of Life
Masks are often used in masquerade parties. They are costume accessories that disguise one’s true appearance. In today’s post, I am using the metaphor of the masks as facade devices. You use masks to hide your true self. You find comfort and solace in that the world does not know who you really are. There can be also a different mask that you wear for various groups of people. After all, you have important public images or persona to uphold.
What Are The Akashic Records?
Over the last weekend, in response to numerous interested queries, I decided to create a short video to explain briefly what the Akashic Records are. A Soul Realignmentâ„¢ reading, in my opinion, cuts across all religions. It is essentially about re-connecting ourselves back to Source.
Play The Wishing Game?

Five children were playing a wishing game. Each had a chance to have a go at it. Each had to answer “if you have a wish, what will it be?” The child with the best wish would win. Here was what each said…
Child #1: I’m going to wish for a McDonalds Burger. *Smacking his lips* Make it double everything!
Child #2: I’m going to top that. I wish that I own a McDonalds restaurant. Then, I can have as many burgers as I want.
Unlock The Secrets to Your Soul
The curious heart-winged butterfly loves to experience everything on Earth. It feels as if it is deliciously sampling a huge buffet filled with the toppings of life. It understands the art of living happily. However, just when it thought it understood the laws of nature perfectly, the butterfly unwittingly ventured into a world that was totally unknown to it before. With an increasingly open mind, it flew into different dimensions, auric layers and astrals.
Benefits To Meditation
(The temple grounds of The Singapore Buddhist Lodge, where I was yesterday.)
“Meditation is like having a spa for your brains. Your brain lasts longer. And you don’t have to worry about degenerating brain cells even after 40 years old.”
These were the opening words to the Bliss Out Meditation workshop that I attended last evening. The speaker was Ajahn Brahm, head abbot of the Bodhinyana Monastery in Western Australia, on a stopover in Singapore. Ajahn Brahm is the spiritual patron to The Buddhist Fellowship, a local non-sectarian Buddhist organisation of which I volunteer my writing services to.
