“Who am I?” “What is the purpose of my life?” These questions arise spontaneously throughout our lives, either unbidden or through conscious intent. Anyone who wishes to live an authentic life must answer these questions, regardless of whether they believe in the existence of the soul or practice a religion. If these queries remain unanswered, life will more than likely remain superficial and empty, in spite of any material abundance. If you wish to make the soul's journey, then I suggest you ask yourself these questions relentlessly and ruthlessly, and listen carefully.” IfsBelieveSoulPurposeAsksWishAnswersExistencePracticeOur LivesJourneyMaterialsConsciousEmptyAriseAbundanceSpiteSuperficialUnansweredAuthentic LifeQueries Author:Ilchi Lee
