How to Find My Life Purpose

[CARDOZZO]

In this video, Brendan Lea (Peter Ralston's Workshop Assistant) talks about creating a life purpose and not finding one.

What are your thoughts on that? Do we have a specific life purpose or we have to create one from scratch?

Create it

@CARDOZZO Personally, my theoretical belief is that once one processes a large amount of their traumas then they get a lot of access to their authentic self and trust in their intuition. And from there one's life purpose becomes relatively straightforward.

I do think its important to note that I'm currently in the process of trying to process a lot of my traumas. So I'm not currently speaking from direct experience.

So, I'd say I'm more on the side of 'finding it'. Though you sort of have to create the conditions for finding it through trauma work.

@Thought Art Thanks bro!

@Ulax Amazing. I'm also doing trauma work.

Any recommendation of books/practices?

[Ulax]

@CARDOZZO Hmmm, I'm sort of wary of giving a specific pointer because I don't know where your psyche is at currently, and I think different minds work well with different things. But I'll lay out some general things here.

High conscious psychotherapy with a competent professional can be useful, in my opinion. Stuff like internal family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, humanistic, somatic experiencing etc. Bodywork like Trauma Release Exercises could be useful. (course: https://www.trecourse.com/))

A good book which gives an overview of trauma is, in my opinion: The body keeps the score. Also, Alice Miller, 'Drama of the gifted child' is a useful one I think.

Also, setting up a concentration practice, and then exploring a variety of meditation practices, to find one which helps you process trauma and/ or helps regulate your emotions.

I like a dude called Daniel Mackler too at the moment. He has a youtube channel, and also one of his books is about journaling about trauma (Titled: From Trauma to Enlightenment: self-therapy in twelve steps, Daniel Mackler)

Again though, I'm still in the process so I'd say my perspective is somewhat limited.

@Ulax Thanks for your thoughts!  

I just have notes of your recommendations. 

I'll start with Breathwork

@Michael569 Understood. Thanks  

Being present to the moment, questioning a lot, travelling, exposing yourself to more experiences.

This is one of the things that I'm doing. 

I really want to be a polymath. 

I'm a computer scientist/programmer.

But I also love writing science fiction, making futuristic art on Blender/NFT's, entrepreneurship, exponential tech, futurism, spirituality, personal development, enlightenment, self-actualization, trading stocks, pickup art.

I see myself in the intersection between: Consciousness/Spirituality/Self-Actualization - Technology - Business - Art
