Discovering your Soul’s purpose is not a linear process.
Don’t expect to find a “step-by-step guide” or “7 quick tips …” listicle here.
Your Soul is not logical.
Spiritual Wanderer Course:
Being a lone wolf and a spiritual wanderer is a sacred calling in life – a unique and alchemical path of awakening. You don’t need to feel lost, alone, or stuck on your journey any more. It’s time to meet your soul’s deep needs for clarity, self-acceptance, and empowerment. Let us show you how …
Your Soul has its own bone-deep, ancient, wordless wisdom – and it doesn’t conform to what your mind wants or desires.
Think of your Soul like a vast, primordial cosmos within you.
Your mind, on the other hand, is like a little angry red-faced man, waving his fists to the heavens, demanding it to rain already.
It just won’t happen!
There is a kind of reverence we need to bring to discovering our core Soul purpose.
Just as we would enter a church or temple with quietness and humility, so too do we need to approach our Soul with a sense of holy veneration.
Our Soul is the center of who we are: it is the fiery core, the illuminated essence, the crystalline deep sea, and the unique spark of Divinity we all carry.
As such, to really and truly find our Soul’s purpose (which is often multi-faceted and ever-evolving), we need to move out of our Instagram-scrolling, Netflix-binging, distraction-loving “monkey mind” and into a space of sincerity, slowness, and devotion.

What Does Soul Purpose Mean?
The purpose of our lives is to give birth to the best which is within us.
– Marianne Williamson
Our ‘Soul purpose’ can be thought of as our true purpose in life. Soul purpose can also be used interchangeably with ‘destiny.’
Shadow & Light Membership:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ "Shadow and Light’s weekly guidance always rings true to my heart. Thanks for acknowledging my shadows and inviting my inner light. I always get excited to open the Shadow and Light emails on Sunday!" – Angela M.
Everything in existence serves some kind of purpose. A tree’s purpose, for instance, is to provide us with oxygen and reduce pollution – but overall, its true ‘Soul purpose’ can be described as a protector of our ecosystem.
Bacteria, on the other hand, have the true purpose of breaking down debris within our ecosystem – they provide the space for new life to flourish.
As humans, we’re a little tricky. We have a biological “purpose” which is to eat, breed, and colonize. But we also have a deeper, individual purpose.
This individual Soul purpose can be anything from finding the next cure to a rare disease to building an animal sanctuary or promoting racial equality.
As a lone wolf and spiritual wanderer, your Soul purpose is completely unique to you, and only you can carry it out.
Soul Loss & Soul Retrieval
When we experience Soul Loss we begin experiencing feelings of weakness, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and emptiness. We just know that something is missing from our lives, but many of us struggle to discover what exactly that is.
– Mateo Sol
In the vast majority of cases, the reason why we struggle to reconnect with our Soul’s purpose is that we aren’t connected with our Soul to begin with!
Put another way, we have contracted something called Soul Loss.
We have lost touch with our Souls due to trauma, childhood conditioning, abuse, self-neglect, inherited toxic core beliefs, and a lack of Soul-centered education.
The Soul, once something found through a deep connection with the earth, one’s kin/clan, or a specific deity, has now largely been replaced with mechanistic and materialistic accumulation.
Science and rationality are absolutely needed, don’t get me wrong. But when we focus too much on the “yang” side of life – on the masculine-driven values of success, advancement, and conquest – we lose touch with our Souls.
Would you like to save this?
We'll email this article to you, so you can come back to it later!
Your information will never be shared.
To find our Souls again, we must do Soul Retrieval. We need to practice Soul Work.
We need to connect with the yin or the divine feminine (a genderless force) within all of us.
There are many ways to practice Soul Retrieval. For brevity’s sake (and because this article isn’t about that topic), I’ll list some below:
- Meditation and visualization journeys
- Working with inner archetypes
- Entering altered states of consciousness
- Practicing self-love and compassion
- Inner child work and shadow work
How do we know when we’ve successfully ‘retrieved’ our Soul?
This is a good question, and my first response is that you will sense it intuitively.
For example, instead of feeling dull and flat inside, you’ll feel more vigor and life within you. You may feel a spark of passion suddenly ignite within you, life may seem more awe-inspiring, or the world may seem to regain its color again.
In essence, you’ll feel more energized, refreshed, dynamic, inspirited, inspired, and perhaps even as if you have been “reborn.”
Qualities to Cultivate in Preparation For Finding One’s Soul Purpose
To enter the gateways described in the next section, it’s vital that we, even after retrieving more access to the Soul, hone the following qualities:
- Honesty – focus on being honest with yourself, be truthful
- Gratitude – attune to what you are thankful for in life, this will help to open your heart, which is the gateway to your Soul
- Openness – be willing to invite in new experiences
- Trust – learn to trust your insights and discoveries
Engaging in a regular spiritual practice will help you to grow or strengthen these qualities within you. You can find the five types of spiritual practices in my spirituality guide.
Soul Purpose: How to Discover and Fulfill Your Destiny
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
– Mary Oliver
Once you have retrieved access to your Soul, it will be infinitely more simple to unveil your Soul’s purpose.
But it won’t be straightforward, lemme tell you!
I’ve rarely seen, heard, or met someone who “immediately” knew what their Soul’s purpose was – as if it suddenly and angelically descended upon them from the heavens.
There is no recipe here, no 1-2-3 hey presto series of instructions.
As I said before, your Soul is nonlinear: it pre-dates the mind and transcends it in every possible way.
All I can do as an experienced Soul worker who has made ensoulment my priority is to offer advice for this ebbing and flowing spiral-shaped path.
It has taken me years and years to gain some semblance of my ‘true path,’ and even then, I’m still learning and the path is still evolving!
So here are some gateways to finding your Soul purpose, humbly offered to you on your mystical journey of self-actualization and self-realization:
Illumination Books Bundle:

Gateway 1: Catch Those Ghostly Wisps of Joy
Magic exists. Who can doubt it when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars?
– Nora Roberts
We’ve all had those bizarre moments and whimsical experiences that suddenly spark a sense of curiosity, awe, love, magic, and inspiration inside of us.
Most people just ignore them and carry on with their day, assuming that such moments were their mind ‘imagining things’ or perhaps they’re simply in a strange mood.
My advice is to tell those mental justifications to go kiss it! Take such ghostly wisps of joy seriously. They mean something!
Perhaps it was a nostalgic song that put you into a state of reverie, or a butterfly floating on the wind, or a raindrop sliding down the window that sparked a mystical moment of pure delight.
Whatever that wisp of joy was, don’t let it float away into the ether. Pay attention! Contemplate it. Better still, journal about it and what it meant to you.
These odd moments often carry surprisingly deep messages. Take an experience I had the other day for instance:
I was in a funk, feeling down and overwhelmed. But as I watched the green swaying bushes outside, my Soul was slowly uplifted. I realized that like this bush, I was being tussled by life to strengthen me. A plant doesn’t grow deep roots without being weathered.
Gateway 2: Unearth Your Core Bones
Your core values are the deeply held beliefs that authentically describe your soul.
– J. C. Maxwell
Your personality is the topsoil of your life – it’s the face you present to the world and the typical self you operate within publically.
But we are so much deeper than our personalities. Think back to when you were 5 years old, 15 years old, and 25 years old. Think about how your personality changed!
There are certain ‘core bones’ within us, however, that do not change. And to find your Soul purpose, you’ll need to do some Soul searching to unearth what these are.
There are three main layers to uncover within us, and these are our:
- Core Values or what principles we hold onto so firmly at our center that they are absolutely non-negotiable – we could never abandon them.
- Core Gifts or the natural talents and abilities we were born with that contribute to our Soul’s maturation and that we are exceptionally good at.
- Core Wisdom or the mysterious knowledge we know without knowing how – most intuition comes from this core wisdom that we’re born to manifest.
How do we unearth these core bones?
There are many routes, but some examples may include reading books, meditating, going on shamanic or visionary journeys, going to therapy, doing some journaling, following our passions and experimenting with ‘new things,’ and practicing self-observation, self-analysis, and introspection.
Gateway 3: Stillness, Silence, Solitude, and Nature
In solitude there is healing. Speak to your soul. Listen to your heart. Sometimes in the absence of noise we find the answers.
– Dodinsky
The ego, which is the artificial mask that obscures the Soul, generates so much busyness, loudness, and commotion in our everyday lives.
I’m not here to make an enemy out of the ego – we need it for survival. Those to-do lists, face-saving actions, and strategic payment of the rent all help us to survive.
But the ego does have a tendency to get in the way of our deeper needs and desires.
To find your Soul’s purpose, you need a break from the ego. You need to get away from other people’s egos as well (because they tend to reinforce your own).
So, naturally, solitude is the easiest way to open a gateway to the mysteries of the Soul, and it’s a potent Soul Work practice.
If you have the luxury of taking a break from your life, go to a wild place somewhere. Retreat from busy city or suburban life and surround yourself with the howls of wolves, the coo of birds, and the rustle of tree branches around you.
Great works of literature (like Walden by Henry David Thoreau and Journal of a Solitude by May Sarton) have been written in solitude.
There is something about being alone that allows the whispers of the Soul to finally be heard.
Make sure that you bring some kind of reflective journal, notebook, or diary with you, you’ll need it!
Gateway 4: Journey into the Otherworld
A problem cannot be solved by the same consciousness in which it arose.
– Albert Einstein
Another way of rediscovering your Soul purpose is to take an inner break or an inner holiday away from your usual state of awareness.
There are many ways to experience an altered state of consciousness, and not all of them will suit you. So be mindful, and choose only what you feel comfortable with and ready to experience.
Guided visualizations and spiritual meditations are gentle ways of journeying into the otherworld of your inner Self.
You can find many free Soul and shamanic journeying recordings on YouTube and other platforms like the app InsightTimer.
You may choose to experiment with lucid dreaming (or learning how to consciously seek guidance in your dreams) or breathwork methods that induce trance states.
Other more intense methods involve the use of plant medicines – also known as entheogens.
If you have access to a trustworthy and trained shaman or psychedelic guide, you may like to explore plant teachers like Ayahuasca, Peyote, Psilocybin Mushrooms, and so on.
Even Marijuana, which is now legal in many countries, can be used consciously and with a strong intention to journey into the Otherworld of your inner Self.
For over 12 years, we've poured our hearts into creating free content on this website. Unlike many platforms, we believe this guidance should be accessible to everyone. If this post empowered you in any way, please consider making a donation to keep us going. Any amount (one-time or ongoing) makes a huge difference.
$3But a word of warning: be careful when using mind-altering substances – they are certainly not suitable for everyone, especially if you have a pre-existing mental health condition. Tread wisely, as the use of such substances can be more traumatizing than liberating if misused or taken by the wrong person. If in doubt, speak with your therapist first.
Gateway 5: Embrace the Power of Artistic Self-Expression
Art is the expression of the artist’s overflowing soul.
– Hans Hofmann
Symbols, images, metaphors, dreams, and sensations are the primary ways the Soul ‘talks’ to us – and art helps us to directly tap into and interpret this inner wisdom!
You don’t have to have a single artistic bone in your body to use art as a doorway to your Soul successfully. Even a stick figure or a squiggle can carry tremendous meaning and value.
My favorite way to ‘speak’ with my Soul is by combining traditional word-based journaling with the fluidity of art. I call it therapeutic art journaling, but some would call it ‘art therapy.’
To use art as a way of reconnecting with your Soul’s purpose, make a habit every day out of drawing how you feel – don’t think about it too much! Just draw what comes to mind or what you feel like inside. Then stop to reflect on what’s in front of you. What feelings do you get from the image? What do the shapes or colors mean to you?
Amazing realizations can occur when you take the time to contemplate your drawings.
What to Do if You Feel Like You’re Wasting Your Life
Don’t worry if you struggle to find your Soul purpose. It’s totally normal.
Likely, it will take you years to fully contemplate your place in the universe, and that’s okay.
A flower takes its own time to blossom and a seed takes a while to emerge from the earth. Anything that is alive takes time to flourish.
Our Souls are dynamic and take time to be integrated and actualized – this is normal.
We could call the desire to find our Soul purpose also the process of ‘Soul-making‘ (in the words of poet John Keats), where this journey is a process of inner growth and continuous unfoldment.
Professor of Anthropology Bonnie Glass-Coffin says it well when she writes:
As I have come to realize through my life’s journey, the purpose of our human embodiment is, actually, to grow a soul. Like the making of a body during nine months of gestation, soul-making is also a process. For, although we are born with it, our soul continues to develop with every life experience. Our sufferings are simply the secretions that add to its luster—like a pearl inside an oyster. Making soul is the process of a lifetime, or several lifetimes.
Often, the frustrating, confusing, and sobering path of trying to find your Soul’s purpose is a lesson itself in disguise!
Any treasure worth finding will take some degree of sincere effort. But along the way, it will teach you so much about yourself – and the path is just as important as the destination in the end.
So hang in there. Even the detours in your life have a purpose in that they contribute toward your self-awareness, self-knowledge, and Self-illumination.
Takeaway
Humankind is being led along an evolving course,
through this migration of intelligences,
and though we seem to be sleeping,
there is an inner wakefulness
that directs the dream,
and that will eventually startle us back
to the truth of who we are.
~ Rumi (The Essential Rumi)
Whether your desire to find your Soul purpose was due to a sudden spiritual awakening, fortuitous synchronicity, or turbulent Dark Night of the Soul, it is a call to adventure.
The desire to find your Soul’s purpose is a call from your Soul itself to grow, evolve, and walk a path truest to your heart.
Some days you’ll feel like you’re making progress. Other days you’ll cast your hands up in despair, feeling like you’re lost again.
But please know that you can never go off course because, at your core, you are Life itself – this is the core realization we come to when we practice any form of Soul Work.
Your Soul purpose is one facet of the total diamond that is the Divine – and there is always, always, an ultimate place for you, and only you, in this world.

I am so very glad to have found your website. I believe you’re right about there being a reason I am here. I first found you when I googled about intuition. I was looking for guidance on how to really trust my intuition. I started looking around and found myself drawn to the animal spirit guide test. I answered the questions and to my astonishment, it came back a turtle. This was profound to me because I have a small birthmark on my leg of a turtle and i’ve always sensed the turtle was my spirit animal. This led me to taking more tests and the results were uncanny. It was clear confirmation of what I knew in my heart. I thought wow, I’ve really come across a place for answers about my spiritual journey. There has been so many confirmations of things I’ve pondered about over the years in just the last few days reading your articles. Talk about being hit over the head. When you were talking about soul loss as being a personal and sociatle problem, I had a flash of a very intense dream I had many years ago that until now was sort of a mystery to me but I’ve known it was a very spiritual experience. I knew what the dream meant for me personally but there was an element to the dream about Society as a whole which I didn’t understand. I think I’m in the right place to discover the greater meaning of my dream pertaining to Society as a whole. If you want me to describe my dream let me know. I would talk about it now but this message is already long enough.
Thank you so much for your work.
Your budding friend
Sherryl
I enjoy the variety of writers and at times, the synchronicity and timing of articles that help me to understand what i may not be able to yet express in my own words. I was saddened to read the comments of people who are not happy and whose light has gone out in their lives despite all the bounty of a feast that has been laid in front of us. It’s not to say that I have never had dark moments, as I have learned that sometimes it is our cue to recognize that the light feels so much better and really helps all of us. We can stay in the dark feeling bad for ourselves or we can move to the light. Some will say they can’t or that they just won’t. Our journey involves our choices. We can add value, when we can notice the light not just for ourselves but for others. The energy that you carry is not just something you experience. Others around you can pick it up. Is it something people want to move toward or away from? I have a friend who is an m.d. who has a specialist field. He is brilliant, has contributed to much in his field which are now procedures that helped many people around the world. He’s a philanthropist who has helped so many, yet when I visited him, I noticed that his personality had changed. His body is neglected, and has so many visible physical challenges, has a poor diet, and has many reasons to get those things taken care of, (swollen purple toes and fungus toenails) but he was grumpy when I asked him if he knew about his feet. I mentioned them because his vision is failing and although he has someone who is his secretary/helper, I thought that surely someone as brilliant as he would take care of these things. He can definitely afford it, but it’s like he has become an empty shell and feels like he needs to suffer. Sometimes being brilliant does not mean that we always do the smart thing. I have found, especially lately, that people who make up their minds and refuse to change or even conceive of how their life can be different and/or better do not really want to be helped. His world revolves around himself. I love and bless him, and give joy where I find it.
I almost went home the other day without going to my favorite park with a little stream. I was fascinated by a happy little pug who was splashing and swimming in the water, dunking his head, when his master threw a stick or rock in. He was so happy! After some time, I started encouraging him. He came to the bank of the stream, and his master pulled him out. The little pug ran toward me, his master warning me that he might shake and splash the water from his wet coat. He did a little, but he was very polite and did it before he reached me. He looked directly into my eyes, which temporarily stunned me, as he had bulging, somewhat goofy, googly eyes, then he invited me to scratch his rump and give him some pats. He made he laugh! He then ran to his master and then back to me for more petting, then ran off back into the stream. This little joyful and social pug named Mana, which is the word for power/energy, definitely had it, and I go back to the park looking for him and the mana he puts out. I love and bless him, too! May you can find moments of joy in your journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you for this article and the many others that have inspired me along my journey.
I love to journal and it has helped me see and learn my truth. I’ve learned that my truths don’t have to be someone else’s truth…nor mine theirs. Your articles resonate with me and give me fuel for thought…thoughts to consider.
Thank you!
17 yrs of sobriety woke up in 14 days at a treatment center. A year ago my soul introduced its self to me wow what a ride. The spiritual awakening prepared me but wow.
I have no purpose. I don’t want a purpose. I have no family. I have no friends. I have no ambitions. I am old and disabled. I have lost all my ambitions because I do not see the point. I have lost my ability to feel passion or joy and having been in the mental healthcare system for decades, no one has been able to find a cure. I’ve tried every treatment available. Nothing, not even spirituality could bring back my soul. Healers failed. Shamen failed. No one helped me. When a baby is left to cry for help and love, while lying in its own poop, and no one cares or attends its needs, eventually, it accepts its fate. I used to want to help people. I used to have hope. I used to have a soul. I used to be so connected to the divine. That’s all gone. There’s nothing left. If I die, no one will miss me. I used to care but I’m so used to being alone, at least my death won’t hurt anyone. Seems like other people have more of a problem with the fact that I have accepted that I am a human waste of life than I do. I no longer care what people call me or how I’m labeled. I have just accepted that this is my lot and, frankly, I’m relieved. Finding something to live for just prolongs suffering. My heart shriveled up. There’s nothing left of me. People beg me to find a reason to live but what if I don’t want a reason? I don’t want a purpose. I want to be with my god. I want to end the game. My higher self quit on me. Why should I care? I’ll just sit here, waiting to die. I no longer want any part of any of this life or any life. I plan to end it, soon. You cannot talk or shame me out of it. Doing so will just push me harder into it. And I’m not coming back. I thought I learned something but, in the end, it, too, was unimportant. Everything is nothing.
Scientists say the odds of you being born are at least 1 in 400 trillion. Maybe even 1 in 400 quadrillion. So human life is most important things on the planet. Soul experiences human form at least once ,some cases may be more. Every soul has a purpose and we are here for not coincidence or random. Doesn’t matter who loves you or not if you find Devine God thats enough love for you. My friend 20 years ago my condition wasn’t good, nothing was work for me and i planned to end my life but someone wishparing from my soul why do you want to die ? Life is so beautiful. I cancel my plan and after 20 years all for my God almighty , i have everything , blessings everywhere, my house is worth more than 1.5 million. Don’t lose hope , you are a devine creation and God never left you, God always with you and love you. Just ask God what you need and wait with patience.May God bless this soul and bring comfor in his life Amen….
If you have to ask why then you haven’t been to the depths I have. Life is not beautiful. It’s hell. It’s a prison. Now get the fuck out of here. You have done nothing to help. All you do is remind me of that which I have lost. It doesn’t matter. I gave the psychiatrists a year to find a way for me to feel positive emotions the way I could before the brain injury. Trying to explain it to someone who has never experienced what it is like to have their emotions removed is like trying to describe deafness to a musician. Don’t speak of things you know nothing about. And don’t use me as fodder to stroke your Ego’s savior complex. I see right through you. You know nothing of suffering. Even in my apathetic state, I can empathize with those who have been to dark places without asking them why… Because I know! I would allow them to feel what they must feel and never express my disapproval of their current state. Even I know we all eventually get here. Life USED to be beautiful… until my ability to perceive beauty was taken from me. Chemically. Physically. Would you want to live nothing made you happy? What if you could no longer see beauty in anything and were surrounded by idiots who didn’t believe you because they still could and they could not comprehend the kind of brain injury from which you suffer so they tell you dim-witted shit like: “Why not think differently?” It is a living hell you have demonstrated in your comment that you know nothing about. Do not speak to me again.
And the year from December is almost up. Last year, my suicide attempt failed. This December, if they do not find a way to give me back my ability to feel positive emotions, then I will not fail. I have the rope, the drugs, the knife and the location where I am going to do it and won’t be found. You have no idea the scope of what I have lost. But I’m done trying to justify it to people. I’m just going to get on with it. I really don’t care what you think. And I’m not your friend. Not even close.
People like you drive me further into that darkness. Thanks for validating that my decision to end my life come this December was the right one. I am not your friend. You are poisoning my spirit and you don’t even understand how.
What has led you to reading this article then?
Why does it matter? Maybe instead of trying to bingo the person you could be compassionate? They sound burned out and extremely suicidal.
This is for those who think they need to save everyone. This site attracts too many of these types and they need to be treated as trolls because they are covert abusers, whether they choose to acknowledge that it or not. They are hurting real people.
Stop. You are making things worse. STOP guilt-tripping people who are suicidal. It is abuse. Research it. It can backfire. You are adding to their pain, not helping them. Worst of all, you might be that final straw that breaks them, leading to the final act. You’d be surprised how much better a person will feel if, rather than guilting them for feeling the way they do, you just allow it. Let them know it’s okay to be where there at and to feel what they feel. They have thought of their families. Maybe they have an abusive family. Maybe they have no family. Not everyone’s circumstances are the same as yours.
Stop trying to fix people.
It’s not your place, nor your right. Most of all, stop assuming you know exactly what they’re going through. You don’t! That’s arrogant. You know nothing of their situation. You haven’t the right to compare yourself to them. That’s also abuse. Understand that we get to feel how we affected others when we get home. We get to see what our egos once kept us blind to, as the good guy. We will find that we were actually the villains of some people’s stories. Be prepared to face this. We all will. I encourage everyone to do some real research on how to properly be with a suicidal person when they decide to trust you and open up. I say “be with” instead of “say to” because you need to focus less on what you feel you have to say and just listen.
No one’s asking you to fix or help anyone. Just listen and accept them in their current state
Just because you can’t tolerate their current state of mind, doesn’t give you the right to try to shut them down.
If someone is telling you they can’t feel or do something, even though you can’t comprehend such a state, rather than doubting them, believe them! Finally, don’t assume everyone is some young person you can freely talk down to. Some of these people are elderly. You have no idea what they know. Check your ego, including your spiritual ego.
JD:dont know where you are in the world but know this every person is worth something and we all have many lives so dont worry your next life will be filled with happinness and joy and IM sending you love and light where ever you are!You should write more to deal with your grief and let it go whats coming next is much better!
I once was feeling exactly like you are feeling. I’m not saying I’m out of the woods but an acquaintance once replied to my comments like yours with this, “you may think there isn’t anyone that would miss you, but there is always someone.” My question to you is, what if that someone is someone you haven’t even met yet? What if by you being gone prematurely from life, it ruins that someone’s life because you weren’t thereto change it? We don’t know why we meet the people we do, but I believe there is a reason we meet every person we meet. Even if it is only for a moment. That meeting, that cconversation or even just a kind gesture could change the world. When you have done what you were put here to do, only then will it be your time to be with your God. Not before. Only when you get up and live life will you be able to accomplish your feat. I know how hard this is at this point in your life. I never thought I could get back to life. I’m not there yet, but I am definitely on the uphill climb. Everyday that goes by gets brighter and a little easier. It’s still a long hard road ahead of me. And you. But it’s doable. I hope and pray you are around to read this. I know your sadness all to well. But I also know what joy life can bring. Please give it a shot. If I can, anyone can. I don’t know your tragedies. And I’m sorry for you having them. But you must find a way to learn and move on from them. As hard as that is, it is not impossible. You can do it. There must be some desire deep inside you that wants to live again or you would not have posted on here. It’s your souls cry for help. Don’t deny your souls desires.
JD is dead. Everyone stop trying to guilt trip a dead person into coming back to life and accept that he fought like hell but got tired of all of you. At the end, he said he didn’t care who he hurt. In fact, he wanted them to hurt for trying to emotionally blackmail him into living with his degenerative disease. You DON’T know “exactly” what he was going through unless you know what it feels like to have the death of most of your dopaminergic neurons. You have no right to compare yourself to him. Let him rest. Please remove his comment.

Read #4 and understand that YOUR ARROGANCE and people like you expedited his decision! I everyone here feels what he felt, as he felt it.
Hello, ask yourself – why you did write such a long article if you care for nothing ?
You do know this person is dead, right?
These articles are amazing! I dont think i have found my soul purpose yet though
It has many context I’ve learned
No. I couldn’t still
Like anything worthy of pursuing, it takes time Onur ;)
I don’t think I have found my soul purpose, but I will find it.
You will :)
After reading Dr. Michael Newton’s books, I came to the conclusion, that souls are some entities that integrates with human bodies, which serves them as temporal vehicles, while they learn their karmic lessons. So, I wonder why I, as a human being, while suffering in my life for my soul’s shortcomings in its previous lives, should help my soul in any way, or try to figure out my soul’s purpose in this life? My soul gets me in all kind of trouble with its karmic debts and goals, and then, when I die, it discards my body and goes home, while I just stop to exist.
Hi Adalbi, this is an interesting angle. Perhaps you might take this perspective on the Soul as being helpful: https://lonerwolf.com/what-is-a-soul/
