The whole is made up of existence and Being, the manifested and unmanifested, the world and God. So, when u become aligned with the whole, u become a conscious part of interconnectedness of the whole and its purpose; the emergence of consciousness into this world.
As a result, spontaneous helpful occurrences, chance encounters, coincidences and synchronistic events happen much more frequenty.
Carl Jung called synchronicity an "acausal connecting principle".
Doing 'this' because of 'that' is the mind's way of cutting up reality; whereas nature lives in unconscious oneness wit the whole.
It is our purpose and destiny to bring a new dimension into this world by living in conscious oneness with the totality and conscious alignment wit universal intelligence.
Transformation is the reconciliation of outer and inner purpose, the reconciliation of the world and God.
Expansion and contraction - are 2 universal movements that we would call out-going and the return hom.
Expansion in ur life is finding and pursuing of outer purpose. Usually corresponding growth of the ego, which is identification with all the things and so ur form identity becomes more and more defined. This is also the time when outer purpose - growth - tends to become upsurped by the ego, which unlike nature, does not know when to stop in pursuit of exapnsion and has a voracious appetite for more.
And then, just when u tot you have made it or that u belong there, the return movement begins.
Perhaps people close to u began to die, people who were a part of ur world.
Then ur physical form weakens, ur sphere of influence shrinks. Instead of becoming more, u now become less, and the ego reacts to this wit increasing anxiety or depression. Your world is beginning to contract, and u may find u r not in control anymore. Instead of acting upon life, life now acts upon u by slowly reducing your world.
The consciousness that identified with form is now experiencing the sunset, the dissolution of form. And then one day, u too disappear.

In ex-company, I tot I made it, but alas hav to join this company n faced reporting, something that I never wanted to do, faced my weakness. Had a CEO who threatens and criticise my communication, something that has never happen before. Had CEO and peers who expect me to take charge of everything.
For the first time in my working life, I felt inadequate, I felt my performance/authority is being questioned, and I have little influencing power. And I am not in control cos regional reporting is ad hoc and also CEO is unreasonable and the biz fluctuates greatly resulting in numerous action plan for restructuring, all of which is my responsibility.
Then wit meditation, I tot I had it made and then cousin died and I know I have to share my knowledge and experience. I now have to partial retirement.
And now doing vegetarian, something incomprehensible previously. Waking up at 4.30 am to do yoga n meditation. Delaying dinner by 2 hours to do meditation. This can't be me. Who is me? I even tot I wld faced lots of challenges eating vege, but m fine.
I don't know what will happen. This journey wit Sadhguru is beyond me, not within my control. I jus fall into it. For now, I jus take day by day.

Each person's life - each life-form, infact represents a world, a unique way in which the universe experiences itself. And when ur form dissolves, a world comes to an end - one of countless world.

Was thinking abt it, my first return start wit Alice. For d first time, I was judged lacking by my boss. Then 2nd boss was Mike from hell and 3rd boss is d CEO now. True, I have individually won them over, but it comes wit a price.

The return movement in a person's life carries great potential for spiritual awakening - the disidentification of consciousness from form. Since there is very little spiritual truth in our contemporary culture, not many people recognise this as an opportunity and hence they think something is dreadfully wrong.
Their inner purpose would emerge only as their outer purpose collapsed and the shell of the ego would begin to crack open.
This can led to a subsequent rising of a deeper outer purpose that is aligned with the inner.

I knew and hence my blog - suffering is blessing.

Action, although necessary is only a secondary factor in manifesting our external reality
The primary factor in creation is consciousness. No matter how active we are, how much effort we make, our state of consciousness creates our world, and if there is no change on that inner level, no amount of action will make any difference. We would only re-create modified versions of the same world again and again, a world that is an external reflection of the ego.

Soul - tot of me n my partner. Well, I admit that m not ready. But I do know there is some process of change.

Awakened doing is the alignment of ur outer purpose - what u do - with ur inner purpose - awakening and staying awake.
Through awakened doing, u become one with the ongoing purpose of the universe.
Consciousness flows through u into this world. It flows into ur thoughts and inspires them. It flows into what u do and guides and empowers it.
Now what u do, but how u do what u do determines whether u r fulfilling ur destiny. And how u do what u do is determined by ur state of consciousness.
All truly successful action comes out of that field of alert attention, rather than from ego and conditioned, unconscious thinking.
The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm.
If u r not in any of the above state, u will find that u r creating suffering for yourself and others.
When u cannot enjoy, at least accept what u have to do - be willing.
If u can neither enjoy or bring acceptance to what u do - stop. Otherwise u r not taking responsibilities for ur state of consciousness.
And if u r not taking responsibilities for ur state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.
The peace that comes wit surrendered action turns into a sense of aliveness when u actually enjoy what u r doing.
On the new earth, enjoyment will replace wanting as the motivating power behind people's action.
Joy is the dynamic aspect of Being. When the creative power of the universe becomes conscious of itself, it manifest as joy.
Joy does not comes from what u do, it flows into what u do and thus into this world from deep within u.
Enthusiasm means there is deep enjoyment in what u do plus the added element of a goal or vision that u work toward.
Even though u have a goal that u work toward, what u r doing in the present moment needs to remain the focal point of ur attention, otherwise, u will fall out of alignment wit universal purpose.
Instead of wanting to be a famous transformation leader.
See yourself inspiring others and enriching their lives.
Feel how that activity enriches or deepens not only ur life but that of countless others.
Feel urself being an opening through which energy flows from the unmanifested Source of all life through u for the benefit of all.
You cannot manifest what u want; u can only manifest what u already habve.
