Becoming a Channel for Grace

When I was a child, connecting to the divine had been natural. Whenever I was afraid, confused, or lonely, I instinctively appealed to a power bigger than my fear. My religious upbringing, as taught to me by my mother, languaged this experience as “praying to God.”

God and I were pretty tight. Whenever I sought this otherworldly presence, I always felt it greet me in return. It was easy to access comfort and peace through this channel within my heart and mind. Now, many years later, after an intense journey of untangling myself from the programming of religion, I was finally reacquainted with the presence I knew as a child.

This time I called the presence grace.

I was somewhat surprised to find myself basking in this blissful “knowing” state that day by the fire, because for years I had already been coaching, holding workshops, and speaking to others about discovering their passion and living their purpose. Not only had I thought I already knew the answer to the question “Why am I here?” for myself—but I had built my entire career on helping others discover the truth for themselves!

Although, throughout my life, I had been drawn continually into a deep relationship with the presence I had called God as a child, much of my adult life had been spent learning more intellectually than spiritually about life. I highly value the exercise of my intellectual mind, so my approach had been to study everything I could about quantum physics, the Law of Attraction, and so on. Now, however, I understood those principles I had become adept at living and teaching as spiritual psychology, not authentic spirituality. The difference was an intellectual experience of grace, existing primarily in the mind, versus a mystical spiritual experience of grace—which comes blazing through the heart.

The material I was so proficient at teaching turned out to be simply the first layer of understanding my purpose. I now realized that my only real purpose is to be a channel for this magnificent loving energy pulsing through me—that’s it. In everything I do and say, to infuse every creation and breath with this divine substance is my ultimate calling.

As I contemplated further, I realized there’s a difference between our purpose and our expression of that purpose. The first three mysteries of this book uncover the clues to the individual expression of why we are here. But the deeper answer to the ultimate question can be whittled down to one phrase: We are here to be a channel for grace.

Our only purpose is to develop a soul strong enough to open to love and enter into sacred union with grace and with one another. This can be done in many ways—through teaching, creating art, writing, developing technology, fixing plumbing . . . whatever. But regardless of your individual expression, our purpose is the same: to love and be loved.

Up until now, we’ve been collecting and working with external clues to discover our unique expression of channeling grace. These clues have been found as markers throughout our lives.
