Crossroads, Transitions & Purpose
Life is not Lived in a Straight Line
Addressing life's fundamental challenges
Are you inspired by the life you’re living…?
Is knowing your “life purpose” important to you?
Are you at a “crossroads” in your life that demands action on your part?
Are you facing a life transition that you find challenging or even daunting?
Have you “achieved” everything you thought you ever wanted and found out that’s not “IT”?
Are you hesitant to “go any further” in life until you have a clearer picture of your path forward?
Life is not lived in a “straight line”...
In fact, the highly complex, dynamic and non-stop nature of “modern life” (almost) dictates that we will inevitably come to a point, or points, of “personal crisis” during our lifetime, either because: the way we’ve been living “no longer works or satisfies" or, continuing to live with *our current understanding of ourselves* is insufficient to effectively address the life challenges we’re facing, with sufficient vision and confidence to act.
Each life has its own organic rhythms, when seen in the greater context of a whole life – where, the way we live, the things and people we are drawn to and make our lives with, the work we do and where we live will likely change over the course of a life, and all on their own time!
This is also why our “life purpose”, however we relate to it, must also evolve with us as we live, gain experience and an ever greater perspective, as “what worked” or was our true “expression of purpose” in the past, will in all likelihood eventually become the constraint that must be consciously let-go-of in order for us to meet life completely going forward.
These transitions, from one life phase to the next, are a completely natural personal evolutionary process – even though usually quite difficult psychologically and/or materially while we are "going through them" – fundamental changes in life process are to be expected, even though they can easily “sneak up on us” causing much personal turmoil while we are busily engaged in all the “doings of life”, such as they are each day.
Inquiring directly into what truly moves you to action, inspires you and the nature of your relationship to “change” in general, while being able to discern which is “your path” when you find yourself at a crossroads, brings about an awareness-of-self that is essential to having the clarity-of-purpose to bring your life activities into alignment with your chosen life path.
How do I know I am at this point in my life?
You may be able to tell from how you are “feeling” about yourself and your life or by looking at how well the fundamental elements of your life function together.
Common experiential states when you are in this situation, you may have feelings of:
- A vague sense of uneasiness
- Persistent anxiety or trepidation
- Loss of interest in ones life as it is
- Listlessness, malaise
- Restlessness
- Feeling “lost” or “aimless”
- “Confusion” about yourself or your life
- “Stuckness”
- A limited or negative outlook-on-life
- What once satisfied or even excited you now leaves you feeling empty
- A lack of or loss of inspiration for life
- Material success is now "empty", holds no value
A lack of awareness of one’s essential life purpose/life path may manifest in a variety of ways:
- Avoiding making decisions about essential life functions
- Degraded relationships: i.e. a lack of interest and/or harmony within a primary relationship
- Working in a job or career path you are disinterested in, that is unfulfilling or stalled
- A prevalence or tendency towards addictive, "escape" behaviors: i.e. alcohol, drugs, socializing, fanaticism
- Need for a "hyper-stimulated" life: i.e. a constant need for "new" heightened experiences, "extreme" activities: socializing, career, “adventure”
- Inability to get sufficient deep restorative sleep or an inability to relax when the opportunity arises
- Compromised health
- Lack of ability or interest in, time for reflection
- Lack of interest or care in the state of our human family
Examples of events that precipitate one being “at a crossroads” or “point of life transition”:
- Stalled career
- Engaging in addictive "escape" activities
- Loss or dissolution of job or career
- Retirement - planned or otherwise
- "Empty Nest"
- Loss of primary relationship
- Loss of physical capabilities
- Major (existential) health challenge
- Loss of material wealth
- Death of a close family member or friend
- Global/societal existential challenges
If you find you’re having any of these experiences or observations about yourself and your life and you want to take action that will give you a fundamentally new capacity to act, the Crossroads, Transitions & Purpose Program is designed to bring you the clarity and power to move forward with your life firmly in your hands.
Crossroads, Transitions & Purpose
Addressing Life's Fundemental Challenges
A zero-G Living Octave Program
This 12-16 week program is for advanced, committed individuals who are moved from within, to engage in a deeper exploration of their life path, their purpose and what truly inspires them to action. This program is also for people who are at “crossroads” or in a “state of transition” and want to address their challenges with clarity, resilience and power.
This zero-G Living Octave Program addresses the inevitable crossroads, transitions and the need to meet our purpose that we all face at some point in life. Done through personal inquiry, we explore life in a larger synoptic context, bringing new relief to your understanding of your unique path in life. This greater vision brings with it the organic confidence and personal resilience necessary to meet the challenges and to make the changes that will make living in alignment with your greater life purpose, a daily living reality!
Who is this program for?
This program is designed for individuals that are moved by their own internal impetus to look at their life with "fresh eyes", so as to see their life in a larger context enabling them to make decisions and plans that are sourced from their internal guidance.
By learning to listen to and understand oneself, in this more complete internally sourced way you are able to:
- Accurately “see where you are at”, in the greater context of your whole life
- Explore, clarify, and make contact with your greater life purpose
- Make decisions that are both functional and in alignment with your essential self and life purpose
- Take clear actions based on your realized purpose
Why do this program?
- To ignite, or re-ignite your inspiration for life.
- To be able to make decisions with purpose, clarity and confidence that result in bringing your life into greater alignment with your life purpose
- Be able to maintain your purpose and ability to respond effectively to the inevitable challenges, roadblocks and distractions that are a part of every human endeavour - resilience in action.
Living in alignment with one’s life purpose also creates an inner sense of connectedness that organically settles oneself, which makes available abundant energy that naturally flows into all of life's activities.
Key benefits available through this inquiry:
- Consciously knowing - uncovering one’s fundamental “reason for being” or “essential life purpose” - perhaps the most important discovery one can make about oneself and one’s life
- Coming to understand the “personal ground you stand on" in life, through deliberate exploration and inquiry
- Create a new relationship to “change” - the only constant in life - and in the process promote one’s dynamic intelligence and neuroplasticity
- Developing the functional self-awareness that makes dealing with all that occurs - when “standing at the crossroads” of a major life transition, possible with clarity, stability and resilience
- Understanding the function and relative value of our personal talents, gifts and capabilities (or any apparent lack thereof) in the context of one’s greater life purpose
What happens?
In all cases, knowing and living in alignment with your life purpose is the natural result of “listening within” as the source of one’s actions, which organically brings about a positive qualitative shift across ALL of one’s life activities.
Creating this new fundamental alignment and personal integration results in:
- Greatly increased energy for meeting all of life’s challenges
- Clearer purpose of mind
- Clarity in decision making
- Greater confidence in oneself
- Improved ability to create
- A wider and further reaching vision of one’s life
- New experience of personal resilience
- A naturally occurring “positive relationship with life” that is the organic result of a more integrated way of living
How is the program delivered?
EVERY program is completely unique to YOU based on: your current “personal state”, life situation and “the point where you are at” on your “overall life path” create the initial conditions from which we begin your program.
In this zero-G Living Octave - Capsule Program we explore the challenge of finding one’s true purpose or “reason for being”, while also being able to powerfully navigate life’s major crossroads, transitions and challenges.
By engaging in a specific series of self-inquiry exercises and live-inquiry conversations, we explore “what-is-real” for you in regards to your greater life purpose.
Outcomes:
Specific outcomes cannot be known or guaranteed…
However, if you engage in the inquiry with the energy and commitment to wholeheartedly explore, to find out, "what-is-real” for you in the areas of life covered by the program, you will find new inspiration to take action in the direction of your vision.
With a new awareness in hand, you give yourself every good chance of identifying your authentic personal “answer(s)” with regards to what is truly important, in the context of your whole life.
Along with a greater self-awareness of one’s purpose, an “integrated outcome” of all zero-G Living Octave programs is the practical understanding of “how” the awareness of your purpose is applied in the planning and living of your life.
