Josh, you are not alone, when you get ‘there’ you will find many friends.
I think you should stop talking about it and start doing it. You don’t need to explain to anyone how you got to where you are going. Remember things, time etc. are not really linear – you are (probably, slight disclaimer lol) already doing whatever it is you are going to do, this incarnation is merely on its way to catching up to itself!
I sent you an email last week or so with a link to another site, did you get it, did you look at it? It might help (if it resonates with you), it has been crucial in keeping me sane in this ‘world’, and learning what this crazy path I am on is really all about, and finding my way – finding confidence in my way – to what I am doing this next phase of my life.

“Josh, you are not alone, when you get ‘there’ you will find many friends.”
I’ve been noticing a really interesting phenomenon lately. I will share where I am on my journey and someone will respond offering me loving soothing words to help change my perspective, and I will read those loving soothing words and realize that my perspective already changed.
In this case, the perspective I held in the “not wanting to be alone” video was completely transformed by the “breakthrough!” video. That’s when I realized I did need anyone else to go where I want to go; if I just go there, like you said, I will find many friends when I get there.

“I think you should stop talking about it and start doing it.”
Do you believe that doing is more powerful than talking? That the power of action is greater than the power of thought?
Because when I hear “stop talking and start doing” it seems to undermine the value of thinking your way into alignment.
If I keep talking and think my way into alignment, and then from that place of alignment do only the things that I’m joyously called to do, I will undoubtedly attract what I desire.
Relevant Abraham paraphrasing:
“All the action in the world won’t amount to anything, unless you’ve aligned yourself with your desire. It’s all about vibration, we live in a vibrational Universe. You get what you think about, whether you want it or not.”

“I sent you an email last week”
Yeah, I clicked it and read about 20-30% of it. I found myself mostly using it as an opportunity to get clear on how I think differently about things than the author does.
It led me to the conclusion that “purpose” is a construct invented by the mind to intervene in matters of the heart. I don’t need a purpose to follow my heart, but thinking I need a purpose, and going out of my way to find one, distracts me from tuning into the moment to moment guidance that my heart is offering me. The moment I buy into a soul purpose is the moment I replace the divine guidance of my heart with the mental concept of “where am I being divinely guided?” It puts a middleman between me and my soul. And since my soul is always evolving, the only way I can keep up with it is by freeing my mind from the expectation that it needs to know what to do next.
I also had a few other thoughts from the things that I read.
A)
“‘How do I know who I am and what I am here to contribute?’ you may wonder. Much of the time, we simply need to be validated, as we have always been who we are, vibrating those special gifts and talents specific to us alone, only we just cannot see it ourselves.”
This makes me believe that the author believes our gifts are in what we can do, not in who we are. Which led me to writing this tweet:
***The greatest talent you possess is your own unique perspective. Through it you can create no wrong because all that emanates is divinely YOU.***
B)
“Why is there sometimes confusion about knowing our soul purpose?
“Throughout our lives, many of us have experimented with various interests. One year we may be interested in one thing, and believe that this is what we are here to do, and then suddenly another interest catches our attention and we are off and running in a new direction. This is because we have had so many past lives, and are such old souls, that we have pretty much done it all at one time or another. In this regard, much seems familiar and seems to be a possible fit.”
I think it’s a human error to believe that our soul is after achievement. That our soul has one singular thing that drives it and that our tasks as humans is to head out there and achieve it. The reason we have so many interests is because our soul wants what it wants; and once as our soul experiences what it wants, it begins wanting new wants. Our soul lives in a cycle of birthing and experiencing its wants.
That writing also inspired this tweet:
***Do you give your power to your past lives? What have your past lives done for you lately? Wake up to your now. Your power is here.***

“it has been crucial in keeping me sane in this ‘world’”
I’m curious as to what this is like. Does the world do things that drive a person crazy? Or is it the thoughts a person thinks about the world that makes them lose touch?
I’m curious because sanity is something that I’ve never gone out of my way to try to preserve. And I think my lack of fear of going crazy is what allows me to do seemingly crazy things without feeling out of whack…
