My response:
Your vision of purpose came with an experience of self-realization and Christ Consciousness.
That state of expanded awareness is what is most important to your purpose, and the external activity is secondary.
So don’t worry about the steps to get to your life purpose.
If you live your present life with awareness and openness, you will automatically be fulfilling this vision of your life purpose.
You don’t need to hold on to a vision of your purpose.
It is enough to live consciously in the present moment.
Love,
Deepak

“I am wondering if I’m all out of love.
In my last relationship, I gave so much love to my partner.
Now, I’ve been single for two years.
I have been dating but I can never feel or give love to somebody.
Although I’m longing to be in romance, love, and harmony with somebody, I start my life.
What should I do?
Will I find true Love?
Again?”
My Response:
Start with finding the love within you, the love in your heart that does not need anyone or anything else to be complete.
That love is always there in your essential self that is present in the silence of your Being in meditation.
Close your eyes and for the next 5 minutes let your attention settle into the space in the center of your chest where your spiritual heart is.
Feel your sense of self from that place. Feel your breathing and heartbeat from that loving space.
Recognize that you have never done anything that created that pure love.
No one else in your life put that love there either.
That love is you, and it can never be diminished, hurt, or depleted.
The spiritual heart that is your true self is always full, no matter how much it gives. It is our emotional heart that loves conditionally that sometimes feels broken and empty.
Do this short heart-centered meditation every day. In time you will establish a strong and deep foundation of love within you that will make you ready for a loving relationship.
That love will fill your life so that you know you are lovable because you are love and you radiate love.
That love can never run out. It is inexhaustible.
When you live in that state of love, true love finds you.
Love,
Deepak

“Is ego-less-ness possible and is it only a temporary state?
How can we experience ego-less-ness, if even only temporarily?”
My response:
An egoless life just means that self-awareness is open and unlimited and life is no longer lived in the service of the separate self that is identified with the mind and body.
That unlimited state of awareness is our inner reality at all times.
To experience it we only need to drop the veil of subject-object duality and be that ever-present consciousness.
Once that illusory veil of duality is fully dissolved, that egoless life is permanent.
Love,
Deepak

“A recent experience I had while visiting Paris has me wondering what (exactly) it was.
While window shopping, I was drawn to a pair of sandals.
I said while trying them on “These look like Cleopatra sandals.”
Two hours later while walking on a busy street in Paris, something fell to my feet.
I picked it up.
It was a Cleopatra bookmark.
I kept it.
The next morning, with room service, a beautiful cat walked into our room.
I asked her name.
Of course, Cleopatra!!!
Is there some kind of explanation for this?”
My response:
This is a nice experience of synchronicity and it gives you a glimpse into the marvelous in endless ways our experience of the world can be tied together.
I don’t think there is any deep mystery to unravel here, I think it just shows a lighthearted peek into Nature’s workings.
Your playful attitude when shopping for sandals set the cast of mind that then pulled the string of events together into a theme.
Love,
Deepak
Where do our thoughts come from? What is the connection to karma. How do we use thought to go beyond karma? What is evolutionary thought?

“I have been struggling for a good while; like looking for God in all the wrong places.
But recently I have had a revelation that I am caught in a mixed state of awakening accompanied by moderate depression.
I trust that my deep spiritual beliefs are pervasive & universal but they are not always accessible to me.
I am not taking care of my body, my temple, but believe that that would be one of the keys to opening myself to the gift of the present more gracefully.
What does one do with the guilt of not honoring their calling?”
My response:
The way to deal with the guilt of not living up to your spiritual expectations is to realize that all expectations, spiritual or otherwise, are subtle rejections of present reality.
They are judgments that your current experience is somehow lacking or inadequate.
And from a truly spiritual point of view that can never be the case.
Present reality is your true self, and that is the only possible experience of spiritual existence.
So all expectations of not fulfilling your calling are just the projections of the ego.
Guilt is the ego’s way of trying to control and define your spiritual growth on fear’s terms.
Real spiritual growth is always complete in the present moment and without any fear or guilt.
Love,
Deepak

“Recently I married the woman I truly love.
However, in the background, two things have been happening in my life.
1. I’m being hit by an onslaught of memories from my childhood.
Result: I feel bad about my upbringing.
2. I’m reviewing my relationship with my father which has always been strained and nonexistent.
I have a severe degree of hate and loathing towards him.
He used to physically abuse my mother and never really communicated with me, ever.
He says he’s there for me, but I know he really doesn’t care.
Please help me with these feelings, since my life is stalled and affects my day-to-day life.”
My response:
These memories are coming up now in your life because you are entering a new phase of your life and you are ready to heal and let go of these past childhood traumas.
Don’t let your feelings get stuck in the old pain and injustice.
Realize that you are now an adult and have survived those experiences and you are now in a position to draw wisdom from all of your past to make you a wiser, more compassionate, and loving person.
As you honor your past in this way, you can let its grip on you fade away so you can engage fully in your present life with your wife.
Love,
Deepak

From the big bang to Hadestown: A creation myth.
Grateful to have been able to see the epic musical Hadestown in London’s West End at The Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. After watching the play, I was inspired to ask A.I. about my experience, and this is what we have come up with!
