Question: After reading the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra, I asked Yeoshua and Mary Magdalene, what do we need to know about finding our purpose or dharma in life?
How do I find my own path?
YEOSHUA: Finding your dharma or purpose in life can lead us on many journeys. Some of them are helpful and some of them are there simply to show us what our purpose is not. Each person has their own journey and some people find their purpose early on in their life. Many find their true purpose after the age of 30 and that is fine too. The purpose of one’s life, generally, does not change or alter. It may grow larger over time to encompass more or on a larger scale but it does not change in its true essence. If you are a teacher, your class size may grow or you may choose to teach on new subjects as time goes by. If you are healer, you may start with one healing modality and include more techniques over time. Or if you are a teacher, you may learn healing and then teach that to others so that you are both a healer and a teacher. Do you understand?
How to find your purpose? You must follow your heart and your intuition to find your next right step. Everyone’s path to spiritual awakening is unique to them. The only consistent thing is that everyone that finds their purpose had to rely on divine guidance to get there. That is all I have to say on that. Yeoshua
MARY MAGDALENE: Finding your purpose in life is a glorious journey I want to ask everyone to partake in. It is why you are here. You are here to find out why you are here and then to proceed on that path. The journey might have stops and starts and be a long, winding path or have lots of twists and turns. But one thing, for sure, is that you will learn much on this journey and all of it will play a part in your purpose. There is a reason for everything that happens in your life. Of this, you can be sure.
You will know you are on your way or on the right track, when you see coincidences begin to occur. You find a parking spot right where you needed one. Someone calls that you were just thinking about. Your favorite song comes on the radio when you needed that extra boost. These may seem like little things and they are but they also signs that you are flowing in the right direction. You are on the right path. That is spirit’s way of giving you a thumbs up so pay attention to the signs. They are like lampposts along your journey planted by spirit. Enjoy your own unique journey and find happiness along the way. Go in peace and Godspeed. God bless, Mary Magdalene.

Question: I was listening to Eckhart Tolle describe the spiritual awakening process and how relationships may change or fall away after a person goes through this awakening. He said that we need to let go of expectations that those around us will also awaken as a result of being near our energy and feeling that expansion in our spiritual lives. I asked Yeoshua and Mary Magdalene–what do you have to say about relationships in this type of situation?
Ahhh--relationships...
YEOSHUA: We have much to learn in our relationships with each other. We are to realize that they are perfect just as they are. There is nothing you need to change or expect to change in the other person. They are arriving into this day just as they need to be right now. It is all perfect just as it is. Know this and you can let go of the rest. Just move through each day. Don’t worry about tomorrow or the next day or last year or a week ago. Live in the now.
Eckhart Tolle describes this process in great detail. Maybe you should read his book, The Power of Now. This is all we have. Now. The present. It is indeed a gift. We often spend so much time and energy worrying about relationships—about things that happened in the past or might happen in the future. Trust your intuition about what to do today. Trust your intuition about what plans to make tomorrow because you do have to plan for tomorrow. Even though you are living in the present. I understand this. Just trust your intuition now about what to do tomorrow. And it will all be perfect. Life is unfolding as it should. Let it go.
MARY MAGDALENE: Relationships –ah, relationships. They can be good, bad, enlightening, frustrating, hurtful, and exhausting as well as joyful, uplifting, and the best thing on earth. That is why they are the perfect vehicle for learning new things, new behaviors, and new lessons about ourselves and our experience on this earth. Everything is in relationship. The earth is in relationship with the Sun and the moon and the other planets. It is all about balance. We need to achieve balance.
Keep your internal balance.
Deepak Chopra wrote on his blog about maintaining your internal peace when faced with someone who intentionally sets out to hurt you. This is really about balance. You are in control of your own internal balance no matter what the world or another person throws at you. No matter what is happening in a relationship, your internal balance is your responsibility—always. There is no exception to this. We are each responsible for our experience on this earth—be it good, bad, a waste of time, or something extraordinary. It is ours to own and to nurture. No one can take away your internal experience of this life. That is yours and yours alone. I find this perspective helpful especially when we feel like someone is doing something to us in a relationship. Let it go. You get to decide how to feel about it. That’s the key.

Question: I asked Yeoshua and Mary Magdalene the following question about our environment: What can we do to help with issues like the rainforest burning down or the water in India getting poisoned from drug factories? We hear these stories and I am at a loss as to what to do to help Mother Earth and all the plants and animals who have no voice in this society?
What can do to help Mother Earth?
YEOSHUA: Yes, Mother Earth does appear to be struggling right now but she is on her way into alignment. It is difficult to see sometimes for the smoke and pollution, but she is gathering strength and preparing to move into alignment. The plants and animals are resilient and the earth is progressing as it will. It is all working according to plan. These dire reports you read about will initiate change. Sometimes it has to get worse to get better, you understand? Now in terms of what you can do, find a charity that will help a cause you feel strongly about. Help an owl or a rainforest or to clean the beach or keep the water clean. It will help initiate the change if you focus some of your attention (i.e. money is a form of attention) on this endeavor. This will certainly help. The more attention or money a cause receives, the more momentum it will receive to continue and grow. This is certainly one way to help.
Another way is to do a meditation on honor of Mother Earth once a week or once a day or once a month—as often as you can manage. Send the earth love in your meditation. See Mother Earth radiating beautiful light and energy. Visualize her as healthy and wonderful and see her continuing to evolve and grow as a healthy planet. This may sound odd but this form of prayer is quite effective and does make a difference. Send Mother Earth just a fraction of the energy that she provides for you. Think of this as your home and that you are giving thanks and love for this beautiful home that we all share. Planet Earth is a miracle in and of herself. Namasté, Yeoshua.
Visualize earth in light and love!
MARY MAGDALENE: This is our mother we are talking about. We need to thank her and love her and pray for her continued wellness. Yes, it does seem like she is being hurt by humans but we can send her love and even protection from any long term effects of these actions. I second what Yeoshua said. I think more than money, it is important to keep mother earth in your prayers and ceremonies. Offer her love and light and thanks in every prayer or meditation. It makes a difference. That is all. Love, Mary.
