Relationship Between our Heart and Mind

I always enjoy reading your articles. Thanks for sharing with us these beautiful insights. I have a question: How can I find my life purpose? I'm not doing much these days and quite happy most of the time. Yet on the flip side,there are some part of me, guilt, wonder if I should "do" something to contribute to the external world. Or, should I just stop asking the question about life purpose?

As I understand our mind is working in two ways conscious and subconscious. What is the difference?

My question is: What is the difference between intuition and paranoia? How do I know when to trust my feelings? They say humans especially women have a sixth sense that somehow communicates to you. How do I know when my intuition is communicating to me, at the same time, how do I know when I am just being paranoid?

I have gained some knowledge of how to mediate and keep focused on what I desire from different sources. I have chosen some of the technique for meditation but at this time I find it is quite difficult to master the skills. I often ask myself if I am following the right direction.

Thanks for always sharing with us these insights. I must tell you that I really love reading them. My questions are: How can you find true love or what are the evidence? And what can you do for people to love you or your guy to love you?

Knowing where our actions are coming from cannot resolve the issue of trusting oneself. Lack of trust is simply a manifestation of fear. The best question therefore is why be afraid in doing an action? Is it because you have no idea whatsoever of the issue at hand, or you have had experienced a mistake on similar issue before. Whatever is the reason, the way towards trusting ones action is understanding the nature of fear and be able to face it. We can talk so much about fear but one thing is certain, it is a programmed reaction to certain stimuli that were experienced in the past, or where inculcated in our mind by our parents, relatives, friends, mentors, environment, etc. Those stimuli cannot be erased. They can only be faced squarely, knowing that everything is subject to uncertainty. Whatever is our action now can only be proved right or wrong depending on the outcome which can be influenced by factors we cannot control. What we are saying here is that whether you trust your action or not, just keep on doing those actions and decisions until you are able to program your mind that you are a trusting person who can do actions without fear and with confidence.

Every question looks like a question in my mind and as if my doubts are being answered, my confusion is being cleared every time. Yet I am still groping to grasp the purpose of my life. I work with pure intentions and yet end up feeling, 'oh this doesn't seem to be the real purpose of my life.' The search continues. With All the trust and love in my heart why do I still have this feeling of uncertainty. When and how will I find the purpose of my life?

I have a sense that 'love is all there is.' The key, or trick, to actualization seems to be taking myself out of the equation. If there is 'no I' where does fear reside? This creates 'the observer' the fear is beside me; I am not one with it. If my intention is to serve peace, light, hope, faith and other higher qualities, and I am beyond duality, my purpose for 'Being' becomes conscious. With science I owe you silence. My higher self is the observer--no ego to contend with. For me, to experience truth, joy, and freedom are most desirable. Love is the foundation but the freedom to be me is the goal. Who am I: my intention.

Dear Alana, I have gained a lot reading your ezine and enjoy your good advice. I am going through a spiritual roller coaster. I wonder if you can help me find a spiritual guide?

Hello, I would like to know more about desires. I would like to think they come about for a reason. I almost ache sometimes when I have a desire that isn't met. What is that about? I want to trust that it or they will be met. Any thoughts or comments?
