Robert Holden – Higher Purpose: Living a Purpose-centred Life. 07 June 2023

Wow, this webinar is well worth watching! This could not have come at a more synchronous time for me! I’m feeling inspired and energised – I’ve just had the nudge that I needed! Maybe this webinar will do the same for you?

Robert gives some self-inquiry questions throughout the talk, so make sure you have a paper and pen to jot those down. He talks about ‘why is it important to have a purpose?’ and how focusing on ‘my purpose’ can lead to ‘purpose anxiety’ (the fear of not finding our purpose and the cost to us in our lives). Robert peppers his talk with personal stories and experiences to bring the talk alive. He gave a beautiful story of an elephant that was literally right in front of him and his friend – the message was “it was so close you may not see it” – this can be true for our purpose! But…be reassured that your purpose is always with you! He talks about the three levels of purpose to be aligned for us to experience higher purpose – and this is explained in a beautiful way – by the beautiful bees. He reminds us to also zoom out and reflect on the purpose of humanity and the purpose of life!

He talks about living a purpose-centred life – it brings us alive and we can be all of what we most like to be. It is an act of imagination, helping us to flourish and thrive. He also highlights that we will act as an instrument and participate in the shared purpose of humanity…an instrument for greater action. He also importantly draws attention to the fact that humanity suffers from the sense of separateness – from heaven and from nature. He suggests there are some tell-tale signs to look out for if you want to notice when you are on purpose: you have a sense of aliveness, a sense of joy, you acknowledge your wound…and if in doubt, choose love and follow it – imagine that the purpose of humanity is to represent universal love on the planet. Beautiful!
