Would you know your calling?

Many people feel they have a calling to spread a spiritual message through books, presentations, ministries and any number of channels. Though many who spread the message of Spirit do so with no ego attached, others feel they will only be serving their purpose if they achieve a high level of fame and fortune.

The Law of Attraction has been interpreted in a way that many believe it is more about outward attraction than inward.

One woman who fully understood the Law of Attraction and spiritual calling before it was in vogue is The Peace Pilgrim.

Having reached a level of outward success that left her bankrupt inside, The Peace Pilgrim dedicated her life to her calling.

 

The Peace Pilgrim was able to convey what so many hope to achieve in their inner peace.

AS I LOOKED ABOUT THE WORLD, so much of it impoverished, I became increasingly uncomfortable about having so much while my brothers and sisters were starving. Finally I had to find another way. The turning point came when, in desperation and out of a very deep seeking for a meaningful way of life, I walked all one night through the woods. I came to a moonlit glade and prayed.

I felt a complete willingness, without any reservations, to give my life--to dedicate my life--to service. "Please use me!" I prayed to God. And a great peace came over me.

I tell you it's a point of no return. After that, you can never go back to completely self-centered living.

And so I went into the second phase of my life. I began to live to give what I could, instead of to get what I could, and I entered a new and wonderful world. My life began to be meaningful. I attained the great blessing of good health; I haven't had an ache or pain, a cold or headache since. (Most illness, you know, is psychologically induced.) From that time on, I have known that my life work would be for peace--that it would cover the whole peace picture: peace among nations, peace among groups, peace among individuals, and the very, very important inner peace. However, there's a great deal of difference between being willing to give your life and actually giving your life, and for me fifteen years of preparation and inner seeking lay between.

Dear Kathleen,

I so enjoy your article about Peace Pilgrim. Her sense of a calling makes her a role model of service to humanity, in my opinion. When I was translating her book into Spanish I could feel her deep sense of mission embracing my work each day.

Experiences in life prepare us to discover our mission in harmony with universal purpose. As we dedicate to fulfill our mission we make ourselves essential to the flow of outer life. We discover then that we are immersed in all events with a never-ceasing interest and that each experience is an opportunity to rejoice in service.
