Introduction2:08
You are about to start on an exciting adventure in self-discovery. Using the online training videos and the pages of the workbook, you'll be taken through a comprehensive course in identifying your soul's purpose – a calling that is at the heart of your destiny as a soul -- as an immortal, celestial being who is temporarily incarnating as mortal, terrestrial one. Your deeper self, your soul, has a predetermined purpose for this incarnation and longs to fulfill that purpose through self-realization and growth, through interactive relationships that add to your understanding, and through meeting karmic conditions in your life. As Shakespeare so wisely wrote in As You Like It: "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts…." Our deeper self knows the script and the role we are to play, and the many different circumstances and relationships that we are destined to encounter. Learn yours through this course.
