Synopsis

The co-author of The Celestine Prophecy Experiential Guide helps readers uncover the unsuspected, untapped power of synchronicity and intuition that will bring success, satisfaction, and serenity.

Everyone really has a purpose in life, says Carol Adrienne in her new guide to harnessing the power inside yourself. The question is: How do you learn to go with the flow and let your true nature guide you?

Chapter by chapter, The Purpose of Your Life explains how to locate the source of your innate energy and focus it, how to align yourself with the natural forces that swirl around us always, and how to develop the intuition that fosters synchronicity. The book is packed with illuminating anecdotes and profiles of fascinating people -- from artists to urban planners to Zen masters -- who describe how they found their own purposes. There are practical exercises throughout, along with charts, self-questionnaires, and other tools that help you understand yourself and your deepest aspirations.

As you learn to recognize and trust the voice of intuition, you'll find new doors opening and new possibilities everywhere. You'll feel invigorated by the potential you've unleashed, a power that will only grow with each new accomplishment. And you'll discover the serenity and satisfaction that come only to those who are living life to the fullest. The Force is with you -- all you have to do is reach out and start to use it.

Holding a Positive Position

One day, my old friend contractor Michael Conroy and I were discussing life, and he said to me, "'There comes a point where you just have to have faith that things will work out, even though you might be completely discouraged over your rate of progress." He told me he has always loved Leonardo da Vinci's comment about patience: "Sir, being truly patient is being patient when you no longer thought it was conceivably possible to do so." Michael continued, "I've given up wanting to be famous for anything. Now I just build houses, and people seem to want me to do that. Over the years, I have learned that I am not alone. I have learned to look for the lessons in every situation, and when you realize you are in a life lesson, it really frees you. I've also learned not to have expectations and not to let fear stop me from doing new things. One day, I suddenly thought, "Why am I not struggling so much anymore?" Of course, I still have problems, but I'm not as worried as I used to be. Then I think, "Have I fallen off the edge? Or am I finally getting it?" It's like finally getting sober and life actually starts to work. You click on at a deep level. At least I feel that now I'm in the right ballpark."
