The InvitationThe greater danger for most of us liesnot in setting our aim too high and falling short;but in setting our aim too low,and achieving our mark.—Michelangelo BuonarrotiJoseph was unhappy in his job as a middle manager in an investment firm. His salary was sufficient to cover his bills, but he felt likehe was running on a hamster wheel. Something deeper kept callingto him. He felt the pain of all the people out of work—millions ofgood folks whose jobs had simply vanished. He wanted to do something—anything—to improve the situation, but he didn’t know how.He wondered, “Even if I figured out how to do that, how would I findthe time to pursue it with two kids about to enter college?”Mary finally felt ready for her dream relationship. Divorced a fewyears earlier, she had taken time to clear away the past, learn from hermistakes, and get crystal clear on what she wanted. She longed fora partner who shared her passion (she worked as an environmentalattorney); but as a single mother with two children, she could barelyfind time to date, let alone find the man of her dreams.Jonathan had lots of ideas, but money was a constant stumblingblock. Forever in debt, he felt like he was always behind, running tocatch up. He was a dedicated social justice activist, but every time hestarted a new project that was in line with his passions, the bills wouldThe Invitation1

pile up, and he’d have to change gears to earn money in a job he didn’tlike. Then his projects would grind to a halt. He couldn’t figure outhow to combine his passion for social justice with a reasonable income;the nonprofits he approached only paid minimum wage.Patricia was a superb healer. She had great results with her clients,but she didn’t know how to get paid at the level she deserved. Shewas afraid that if she raised her prices, she’d lose her clients. Jeromewanted to get his art into a gallery, but he couldn’t handle all therejection that gallery owners could dish out. Martina wanted to buy ahouse, but she didn’t have a down payment, and her credit score haddeteriorated during the economic downturn. Thomas, an adoptee,wanted to make adoption easier for racial minorities, but he didn’tknow where to start.What did all of these people have in common?They could hear their heart’s desire. They had an urge towardsomething more. Yet they weren’t able to bring their dreams intoreality. They faced obstacles they didn’t know how to overcome.They each wanted to give something back, to make the world abetter place. But they had difficulty bringing the gifts of their heartsinto the reality of needing to earn a living. They longed to fulfilltheir life’s purpose but couldn’t bring it to fruition. They could feeltheir higher calling but didn’t know how to answer it. They wantedto work with others, to be part of a team, working for the greatergood. They wanted to help create heaven on earth.These descriptions depict just a small sampling of the people whohave attended our workshops around the world, representing the millions of people who have a dream but don’t know how to create it onpurpose, step by step.Some people don’t know what their dreams are, and they feel thefrustration of not living up to their own potential. Many peopleknow that their lives have a purpose, but they have no idea whatthat purpose is or how to find it. Some suffer from having too manydreams; they spin their wheels, confused about how to narrowdown their options and focus their energy. Most people have beenplagued by negative inner voices, doubts, and fears, all of which2Creating on Purpose

stop them in their tracks. And everyone has faced obstacles thatseem overwhelming.Have you come to a place in your life where the frustration issimply untenable? If your answer is “yes,” we have good news. Thisbook can help you find your way to a life of vision, inspiration, andaction—to creating on purpose. Together, humankind can createa world that reflects its highest aspirations, a world we refer to asheaven on earth.This book is an invitation for you to step up to who you really areand to manifest your magnificence in the world. Our intention is tohelp you co-create a better world by bringing your purpose, your vision,and your true gifts to the world—a world that sorely needs you. Thisbook is an urgent call to everyone to step up and take responsibility forour precious world. Every individual has the potential of becoming anagent of change, a conscious evolutionary.A Call to AwakeningThe trajectory of evolution is entering its next great awakening, atime when we are being asked to claim our divine nature and takeresponsibility for creating our future. Never before have the stakesbeen so high, the challenges so perilous, or the possibilities so glorious. We live at the cusp of the greatest awakening humanity hasever experienced.We also have access to more information than any civilization hasever had before. The world’s greatest spiritual traditions, many ofthem once hidden and esoteric, are now available through every mediasource. Political, economic, and scientific information comes in overwhelming flows, along with trivia, celebrities’ status, advertising, news,and entertainment. Yet, at the same time, we are being called to growup, stand up, and speak up. It is time for us to take power into our ownhands and use that power in service to something greater.Our friend and political humorist Steve Bhaerman (a.k.a., SwamiBeyondananda) has often said, “It’s time to stop being childrenof God and start being adults of God.” Children have little sayThe Invitation3

about where they live or the rules they live by. They do as they’retold and adjust to their surroundings, one way or the other. Theyeither perish or prosper, depending on their choices and their circumstances. People carry this childhood passivity into their adultyears, believing that Big Daddy (now in the guise of the Company orthe Government or God) will take care of everything, and that BigMama (now in the guise of the earth or the economic machine) willprovide sustenance forever. This concept extends to politics, in whichmany people believe that if we elect the right president or empowerthe right leaders, then everything will be OK. We would be able togo peacefully back to “normal” life, where everything is taken care ofby someone else.But these times call for more than that. The dangers we face call forus to awaken as adults and become active participants in the creationof our reality. According to Stewart Brand, futurist and founder of TheWhole Earth Catalog, “We are as Gods. So we might as well get goodat it.” In democratic countries, the tools of power, which at one timewere only in the hands of the elite, are now in the hands of commonpeople. Anyone can write and broadcast their ideas publically on theWeb. Every printer is equivalent to a printing press. Video cameras andvideophones allow anyone to make a film with impact. We are able totravel and see the world. The entirety of human knowledge is availableto anyone through the Internet.You are not a passive bystander, helplessly watching the worldself-destruct. You are an active agent in the creation of reality. Wheneverything is rapidly changing, you can’t be certain what life will looklike in ten or twenty years, but you can become an expert at manifestation to fulfill your life purpose and your destiny. Now is the time.It is possible to create heaven on earth, but it won’t happen byitself. It will take millions of people learning how to co-create with theDivine and with each other, through inspiration and vision, potenttruth, open hearts, strong wills, passionate involvement, and the toolsof manifestation. It’s time to create a magnificent world worthy of theplanet we’ve been given. It is time for you to create the world you want.It is time to create on purpose.4Creating on Purpose

Co-creation and EvolutionOf all the creatures on earth, only human beings can changethe pattern of their behavior. Man alone is the architect of hisdestiny . . . Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes oftheir minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.—William JamesAll creation is actually co-creation. We co-create with what is alreadyhere. We co-create with each other. And we co-create with the sourceof creation, which we call the Divine or Source. The good news is thatyou don’t have to do it alone (and none of us can). You don’t haveto create out of nothing. Since you are part of evolution, you are cocreating with the evolutionary impulse. Nothing is actually separatefrom the Divine, so you are always co-creating with the Divine. This isthe natural state of things. You can create something new, but it’s likelyyou will use some
