As the Anamcara Experience invitation to divine purpose unfolds in form as a website, this storyteller has been increasingly attracting energies unleashed by attachment to language.

What this storyteller writes about is not always popular.  It never has been popular but thankfully that seems to be changing.  When you begin to live the invitation to Divine Purpose you can expect to be visited by those energies of what I call the Moneychangers in the Temple of the Divine.

These are those writing to me telling that the language of invitation to divine purpose is their language.  They write threatening to pull this site down because I use the language of divine invitation that belongs to them.  These are individuals who use the language of sacred unity to change the currency of your life situation rather than unfold the radiance of the Divine with you.  They know the language. They know the law but they are not the spiritual knowing of the Divine invitation.

They use exactly the same words as I am using here.  Only to use a Biblical metaphor, they are pouring old wine into new wine skins.  What does this metaphor actually mean?  Let this storyteller invite an understanding of this beautiful metaphor in this way.

Jesus of Nazareth was probably the greatest of all storytellers.  These stories eventually got him murdered under the law. The language of Divine Purpose is still being murdered under the law of old wine, the ‘mine, mine, mine’ law that is so prevalent in many modern divine purpose invitations.

In this metaphor you as a living form of the formless are the new wine skin.  The Divine is, as the beautiful tradition of the Sufis tells us, the Wine Pourer.  The Divine gets us drunk on Love.  Not the sentimental love of popular song, but the direct experience of Oneness when you as the dewdrop merge with the ocean, when you are no longer loving but Love itself.

The Divine created you for the purpose of Love.  This is forever new.  You don’t get it if you get it.  You don’t get it by going after it, except that you won’t get it without going after it.  You are like someone trying to bite his or her own teeth, the fish in the ocean looking for water.  The unveiling of your Divine purpose is a revelation.  It is an absence. You are required to be absent while present.

This is unpopular language and an unpopular invitation. The ego does not like not being invited along to the party. What would happen to our precious sense of self if we all gave up the illusion of separateness from Love?  It looks and feels like we would become nobody.  In our go-getting, self-improving, goal setting culture this invitation is anything but popular.

So, as this invitation to divine purpose that is the Anamcara Experience unfolds, I receive emails from moneychangers in the Temple of the Divine.  In this sacred space they are shouting a mantra of narcissism.  ‘Mine, mine, mine!’ Let’s be fair here. A writer, a speaker and a teacher who invests time, money and energy in creating a product, a book or course for example, is entitled to be heard for that invitation they have manifested in form from the formless.

This storyteller has no problem with this.  I ask that what I write to honoured as the invitation it is. I am not asking you to agree with it.  Most people, including very dear and old friends, don’t want to hear such an invitation.  Still and all, I have one long ally.  It is to the revelation that I was graced when I was around twenty-seven years old.  This revelation is not mine. It does not belong to ‘me.’ It was lost because I claimed the power and the beauty of it for myself.

The perfume of that revelation remains in this writing.  It is not always popular.  It gets up the noses of those who embrace the smell of the separateness from Love and bottle that as the perfume.  Yet another kind of old wine in a new skin. These are the moneychangers who claim to change your life with the emphasis on ‘your’ life.  This is not an invitation to the radical revelation that blows your sense of self out of the water.

Divine purpose begins with the opening of the heart chakra.  This is the conduit through which the power of the Divine works its purpose.  This heart is not yours.  You give it to Love so that the work of Love can be done through you.  Anything below this chakra can be considered ground preparation for the seed of Love to begin to flower in form.

The language of the Divine tends this seed.  It does not belong to you or me or to anyone else. Honour it and give it away.  That is why you are here.  You are here to serve the revelation of Love in form.  Until that revelation lives in your heart you are a moneychanger in the Temple of the Divine.  The Divine never loses but you do.  Your wealth is in the language you use to serve that which is creating you in every moment from the force of Love.  This lasts forever.  This is the real invitation to Divine purpose.  Any lesser invitation is stealing your birthright to, as Gangaji so beautifully puts it,  the diamond in your very own pocket.
