Caroline Myss - Why Was I Born? (The Power of Archetypes)

Hi, everybody,
It's time for an archetypal message. At the end of last year, I said that I would expand what I was doing with archetypes to include archetypal experiences that we all have in common. And today I thought I would examine what I think is one of those primary archetypal questions that everybody asks themselves. And it's interesting because there was a time when everybody did not ask themselves this question. But life has changed, and we have changed. And the times in which we live, have ushered in a very different focus for who we are, and how we engage with life.
And that question is - for what reason have I been born?
This question is archetypal in its very nature. It's a cosmic question. What you're saying to the universe is take me down deep, and show me the reason that you've given me life. There is something in us that knows that if I ask that question, maybe I'm going to change the direction of my life.
So I give that to you, as a beginning stage as a beginning step, saying that everybody asks that question. And it's not an answer that's going to come to you through FedEx, or through a person. It's answered in the way you participate in the answer.
So I send you a whole lot of grace because we need it. And thank you. And I hope I hope 2024 turns out to be a year full of wondrous surprises for us. I really do. I hope the non-physical world really guides this universe we live in.
Love,
Caroline

Nothing teaches us like experiencing life, going through the young adult years, the middle adult years, then to enter our elderly years, the 60's are such a transformitive time, at least for me they were. I'v just turned 70, and the idea of helping others along with myself spiritually is so different than the way I did when I was younger. I was always empathetic, a server or problem solver, but now is an entirely different way of loving. Thank you, Caroline. Love your teachings and advice. You are today's mystic. ❤️🌹🌹🌹

I've asked myself What is my purpose here on this earth? It has been a long journey, but I believe I was put on earth to serve and to love others. It's wonderful when it is reciprocated, but I find the most joy in giving unconditionally. When I look into the faces of my children and grand children, I know why I am here. I was in the medical profession for 32 years and know my work made a difference in so many people lives. Respect, kindness, and compassion. The greatest thing I did was listen. Listening has become a lost art, and so many people need to be heard. We all need to take time to just listen to one another. These are what the world needs more of. I am "retired" now and am searching for what I am meant to do now and again am asking What is my purpose?

[@norareikinurse]

Caroline, you have been a beacon for my life for years. At 70 I am clearer and wiser and more fierce than ever before! I hope your "new" house lets the Energy flow in a mighty way for you and Poppy. Thank you for allowing your Tribal Elder gray hair to come in. Our wisdom and experience at this Crone stage is to be embraced! ❤

I love you Caroline Myss. You changed my life. I thought no one understood me & there was no woman to really look up to. Til I saw your videos on Oprah. Now all these years later, I still love hearing the truth. You say it so well & with such grace & fierceness that tears well up in my eyes. What a treasure you are to have asked this question & followed the path of God’s call. For the world. 🌍 ✊🏽 I love you. You are a prayer, moving in tranquility. 🙏🏼❤️ THANK YOU.

[@susanneeden4211]

We are never too old to explore this question. Fulfilling the two prongs of purpose _ becoming who we are meant to be and leaving the world a better place for having been here can give meaning to the senior years.

[@juliegroganhorsesandyou]

Right on time! Just when I was asking the question…again! A cell in the body of the whole. Life was here before me and will continue and evolve when I’m gone. My question becomes How can I help life fulfil its purpose. Thank you Caroline 💛

[@christinevoge5071]

Thank you. No wonder I return to your teachings time and time again after over 25 years. Sending blessings and grace in return. ❤

[@sandraspidle5972]

Your message reminds me of Saint Teresa of Avilla's " Prayer of quiet " Silence and emptying myself of me, just being still and quiet, thankful for my life and others, a grateful prayer🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@reikiwithl5610]

I started asking when was about 8 yrs old, in the 70's.

[@nancykrapf1948]

Caroline, Thank YOU so much for this question...it truly is an answered prayer for me today. I am ONLY here by the grace of God...and He knows the real me and my true intentions...I too, like the police officer, "lost everything..." this trauma has given me a caring for others that is real...you remind me of my Mother!.. My best friend in heaven. I love the way you describe us getting stuff! And your nieces saying, "I don't want this stuff"!...I am at a completely different stage too...less is MORE...simple, loving, beauty...HOME...is and always always will be...I am going to pray and get quiet for guidance...I have my rosary in hand every night for protection and some deserved peace...I am worthy of freedom to heal... and grateful for souls like you...felt like I was sitting across from you! Peace always, Nancy P.S. hope you get this as written.

[@millove222]

Love this. Thank you so much! It's an instant shift from craving to realising that I am actually here to give not only to get! I am so rich in experience, in love and in different talents, and the whole purpose we are here is to give and share all of that with the world to make the world a better place. Thank you for this!

I’ve been asking this question myself. I’ve ended one career and I’m pending the next but I’m not sure what it will be. This uncertainty rocks me- I’ve always been building and chasing my goals. I’m new at this new me. I appreciate your words and support. You have a profound effect on my thoughts and I’m grateful to have found this message. I am transitioning to receive and to engage at the cosmic level ❤ thank you .

[@cailinwebb514]

Thank you so much Caroline. I was once woken early in the morning by angelic music and a voice called my name and told me I had been called by God. I have worked healing and supporting people all my life but after that I thought something more was going to happen. It didn't. The last few months I have been in my cave time again. I have felt like my life is entering a new phase but I dont know where or what. I still support some by phone. It's a strange time. I'm 73 and was feeling like my life was completely pointless but now I've been feeling happy just listening to the Crickets and Cicadas. Apparently its time to write. I have never been much good at sitting still so find that daunting, so along came an illness that immobilized me 😂 Now I'm functioning with certain meds but am learning to be still. Much love to you 🙏💜💜💜🏵

[@SRtruth]

First time watching any of your videos and I have to say I really enjoyed how you deliver your points and your speech in general. I enjoyed listening to you and I really appreciate that you took the time to share your wisdom. Truly, it means a lot. I felt very connected to what you shared and it helped me a lot. I love what you said about being an active agent of transformation because empowerment is a major theme for me right now in my journey, but it's subtle like you said. Feeling empowered has many levels. Thank you for helping to guide me and affirm my path. Many blessings to you! ❤ Also, to turn off the ringy-dingy on your phone, go to your settings and find the notifications section, then turn off / silence your notifications. You can probably customize exactly which ones (text, call, different apps), but by the sound of it you have an iPhone so I'm not too sure how customizable those are at this point since I'm an android user, but nonetheless, you should be able to turn off the sound for all of them in general. Just remember to turn it back on after you film your videos, if you prefer to have them on normally :) hope that helps!

[@jeanpierredadaglio3493]

Thank you! Right on time as well, I asked for an answer to that question in my prayer last night. on another note, since you asked the notification you receive on your computer may be disactivated in something like a google calendar or something similar (a event you asked to be notified, you can disactivate it on the event tiself next to notification)

Caroline, to help you turn off that notification going off, you can go to the settings on your computer or phone and push do not disturb and also put notifications on silence. Please let me know if you need further assistance! I too struggled with the same thing once upon a time! lol.

Thank you so very much for sharing this Caroline. You really instructed my soul on some deep wonderings I have been battling with/asking myself. When you share about St. Francis of Assisi, I wonder if you would be inclined to teach us about his dear friend and assistant, St. Clare? She seems like such a powerful woman, but we rarely hear about her. xo

To stop the unwanted “ding” check your notification setting.

Dearest Caroline, to stop the pinging noise you need to put the phone into Do Not Disturb, this was you will still get silent notifications of a text or voicemail. remember to remove it when your special time is complete. 🥰

How do you unlock that mechanism?

[@pamp3445]

Are you lactose intolerant? Your throat clearing sounds like mine when I eat dairy, in particular, cheese. I love cheese, but I have limited my intake to a bit a month. Hard cheeses, like pecorino romano, don't impact me like cheddar, mozzarella, cream cheese and other softer cheeses. It is a sacrifice, but I got tired of hacking up the phlegm in my lungs all day long.

[@DianneMead]

There is an issue with your microphone. It is echoing. The reverb or feedback is too strong/high. The setting could be on the wrong plate. Please listen to the recording. Your cough and clearing your throat is emphasized, startling and blows the ears. Content would be much easier to consume if there was no echo. If you find your cough is a dry cough, perhaps slow down, and have a sip of water. Pausing will provide easier space to cut the video if you choose. Re pings. Go into settings and notifications. Audio - search audio. Click program. Go into settings, microphone. See if there is anything obvious, otherwise play with the settings. Alternatively turn your volume down as you record if you cannot turn the speaker off while recording.

gee.. i wish I had that " stuff" problem..

[@bluegirl4079]

My mother, God rest her soul, had the foresight to invite us to her home to choose what we would like from her dish collections. Bless her, she had not only her china but also had inherited her mother's, two great grandmother's, her sister, and her sister's mother in law's china and dish sets. It was overwhelming. We were raised to value family and family traditions. Even though some of the pieces I chose were not necessarily my taste, I am so very glad to have them now, especially now that she is not here physically. I know how much she valued them. I look at them in my china hutch and think of the wonderful meals served on them as friends and families gathered around the table for holidays and meals. It's a shame the younger generations are not interested in having them. They would be a beautiful memory and connection to family and friends. I selected a pair of flamingos that had belonged to my grandmother, which I did not want at the time...none of us would take them. I could see the hurt in my mom's face, and said "Sure, I'll take them!" As soon as I unwrapped them and put them in my hutch I immediately felt a connection with my Grandma Margie. They are fairly large (one reason that no one wanted) but they are probably from the late 30's or early 40's. I know my mom felt that same connection to them. It isn't about the objects as much as it is about the connections they represent. They have become one of my prized possessions. My daughter in law loves flamingos, so I know who will be receiving them.
