Every individual has a life purpose. This is the mission that you agreed to prior to your incarnation. There are 2 parts to your purpose: a personal one and a global one. Your personal purpose involves a specific issue or characteristic you need to develop in this life time, such as compassion. Your global purpose involves developing your abilities to help other people and the planet.
The Contract : Before you were born, you signed a contract. This contract is your karmic contract outlining exactly what type of work you would undertake during your incarnation, what help you would receive and what activities you would engage in. In general, you agree to raise your vibrational level during each lifetime. (Click here to see if Christian Dogma supports past lives)
In theory you come in at a certain vibrational level when you are born. During a lifetime your ideas, concepts, thoughts and of course actions should increase these vibrations to the higher frequency of 'Love' .
All the help you get with your Life Purpose begins with the Contract. The choice of your parents, DNA, planetary alignment, is all part of the Contract. This Contract is made between you and Spiritual Guide Team (SGT). Your SGT consist of 5 to 20 souls and\or ascended masters who have some sort of connection to you. They have been related to you in previous lives, you have worked with them on the astral plane or in the temple. They assist in manifesting situations that provide you with the opportunities you need to transmute a particular type of negative energy into positive energy. Many of our key relationships in life have been what we call karmic set ups. In many relationships we come together to clear karma or negative energy. Once these setups are no longer necessary, the relationships breaks up.
Personal Purpose: Cosmic Janitor : In general we are cosmic janitors, working to clean up all the negative energy that we created during past lives. The process is simple. We take the negative energy stored in our bodies and clear it. This process transmutes the negative energy into positive energy.
GLOBAL Purpose: The second reason you are here on this earth at this time is because you have contracted to participate in the spiritual work necessary for Ascension. The Mayans first came to identify the Ascension as the seventh creation, the Christians call it the second coming, and the eastern religion identifies it as nirvana. Ascension in universal terms is focused on the planet, solar system and all things in the universe and other galaxies hitting cosmic Christ consciousness. Some call this: The creation of heaven on earth, Emergence of Shamballa, the return to the Godhead or bring the physical world back to the spirit world. We do this by raising our vibrational level to positive love energy.
Difference between Awakening and Ascension: Many people confuse "Ascension" with "Awakening". It is hard to distinguish these two because they go together. When you begin the process of awakening, you also begin the process of ascension. Likewise when you start the process of ascension, you also begin to wake up. The two go together, however they are different. So what's the difference? Michael Sharp www.michaelsharp.org defines these two process as:
Awakening is the process of returning to full consciousness of your spiritual self. When you awaken, your mind expands to allow more spiritual knowledge to be taken in. When you awaken, your body clears negative emotions and fear stored from past lives. During this stage your body and mind becomes "purified" of fear and negativity. As this happens, your "view" of things changes dramatically. Awakening is very easy to do. How long will it take? This depends entirely on you and your comfort level with the higher consciousness. Everyone's process of awakening is slightly different. The awakening process can be halted at any time, usually as the result of disorientation, fear, and/or lack of understanding. Awakening can also be accelerated through intent. Simply say "I wish to awaken as fast as possible" and your process will accelerate. You can also ask for help with the process by simply asking your guides, your angels, the universe, or God for assistance
So, what is Ascension? There is only one symptom of Ascension: an increase in your ability to manifest in the world. You are the creator of your world. You become aware that there is a direct correspondence between what is in your consciousness and what you find in the world. You realize energy follows thought or as above in consciousness, so below in matter .When you are cut off from our full spiritual power, you can't manifest or create at full efficiency. So, "things" happened in your life at a relatively slow pace. However now, as the planet ascends (and as you ascend along with it), the rate you manifest will change. You will have a more direct influence over the physical world. You become more powerful and as that happens, "things" start occurring at an faster rate around you.
