My Life Mission and the Blissology Project

Posted by blissologist on September 6, 2010

Knowing my Life Mission has been the biggest blessing of my life.  It is both something that sets me free and something that binds me.

Free to see the deepest calling of my heart become manifest in the world.  When I really considered how short and fleeting life is, it became a necessity for me to define mine.  In spite of all the conditioning I faced, I let all other forces in life; social pressures, economic pressures and competitiveness all fall silent.  What remained was my life mission, my whole ultimate reason for being here.  It was aching to come out.  When I listen to artists like Michelangelo talk about sculpting, it reminds me of the same process I went through.  He talks about how the sculptures were there in the rock, but he just had to carve away everything that was not part of the vision.

My life mission is what propels me.  It is also my ultimate guide. It allows me to see when I am off track or misguided so I can readjust my course

Whether I am successful or a failure in the eyes of others doesn’t matter.   Bringing this vision out into the world is the ultimate barometer to me for how successful my life is.  At the end of my life, in those fleeting seconds when it is all passing, I hope to have a smile on my face, knowing that I tried wholeheartedly to bring my inner vision out into the world. My Life Mission is truly the wind in my sails.

So, what is my Life Mission? To tune into this huge, vast and powerful force that lights us up and makes us feel connected to the concerns of other people, other beings, and all life.  To me, this force is Love.  My Life Mission is to be a conduit for the force of Love an let it be expressed in as many interactions as I can, from how I talk to a small child to inspiring thousands at once.

This Life Mission, by the way is the essence of the movement I call ‘Blissology’.  As I launch the Blissology Project, which is a manifestation of my Life Mission, I combat all fears.  I have no corporate sponsors at all, no trust fund, instead I put the money I borrow from banks on the line.

On top of that, I spend hours and days working out technical glitches, carefully aligning ones and zeros which is, more often than not tiring and frustrating.  But when my head hits the pillow, the gratification from knowing that I potentially have increased the forces of Love, Awe and Connection in the world and furthered my Life Mission soothes my bleary eyes and aching shoulders from hours in front of a computer.

Will it be a financial success? I don’t know.  I trust it will because all I have experienced before in life is that when I get out of my own way and let something come through me like a radio channels music, there is a power to these offerings that is beyond my full understanding.

In this case money is not the motivator, no, what guides me is a deep-seated calling to bring my Life Mission out into the world.  It wakes me in the morning and fuels me all day.

So welcome to this Blissology Project.  I hope that this offering lights up something in you that allows you to create an upward spiral in your own lives and in the lives of all those we touch.  We are going to have fun in the next 30 days and I hope your inner Blissologist becomes so open that you feel more love, awe, wonder and joy than one body can possibly contain!

Let’s all live the life we are meant to.

Namaste.

    I feel you Eoin, daily we are challenged by our old patterns.
    Love, light, happiness and a trusting in Spirit… The Universe provides. Collectively we hand over things that no longer serves our growth…
    The spiral of LOVE is what I too am seeking.
    I am really excited for the Blissology Project!

    I can’t help but respond to this as i JUST read something similar with regards to running in “born to run” by Christopher McDougall!
    They are putting together how corporate sponsorships came into running but those who ran for the joy and love of it were more successful..
    On page 94 he states a quote i think by a fellow named Vigil:
    “there are 2 goddessess in your heart; The goddess of Wisdom and the Goddess of Wealth. Everyone thinks they need to get wealth first, and wisdom will come. So they concern themselves with chasing money. But they have it backwards. You have to give your heart to the Goddess of Wisdom, give her all your love and attention, and the goddess of wealth will become jealous and follow you.” in the book meaning “ask nothing from your running and you will get more than you ever imagined”
    I completely thought of this when i read how you are putting everything into this! I think it will be a great success!!!
    Keep up the good work!

    Thank you for your encouragement. I am trying to honour my dream and live a more creative life, atuning to my highest self and letting all the other voices of doubt fall away. I am having my first big art show in the city in a few weeks and am having to spend quite a bit of time re-aligning whenever I get off track dealing with the “business” aspects of it. All the best to with your journey. I will stay tuned in!

    I am a week into the blissology project and I want to thank you. I take classes with Ann Green and you are both such great teachers. The DVD set is an amazing collection and I am starting my day at 6 am with it each day. The Monday meditation where you describe the door behind the thoughts leading to the heart and beyond is an incredible image and really helped. The poem by Hafiz that you quote is very special. Thanks for including that great song at the end of Monday’s practice…one of my favourites. Namaste
