You're not searching for your path. You're on it. Right now. With the beliefs you have and the life you've created. Your purpose isn't out there waiting. It's here: to take energy and create experiences. You're already doing it. But your mind keeps saying "I need to find my purpose. I need to clean my energy. I need to become worthy first." That's a trap. Every desire you have, you're already worthy of. You don't need to prove anything. You don't need steps. You need to shift your identity and follow the peace. That's it. Stop making excuses for why you're not there yet. You're exactly where you need to be.

Welcome to Teachings from the Masters with Daryl Sean Price. Hi, welcome. I'm so glad you're here. So I want to talk to you today about how much people seem to romanticize and almost hold up with honor and praise the idea of achieving something that's out there beyond you. And you're probably doing it right now without even realizing it. I hear phrases all the time like finding my path, stepping into my purpose, things like that. If you think about those phrases, what they're doing is saying, you're not on your path right now. It's out there somewhere. You're not fulfilling your purpose right now, it's out there somewhere. And we love to use phrases like this to make it almost a noble thing that you are seeking something beyond yourself. And that's such an easy trap to fall into. But here's the reality: you want to know if you want if you're on your path or not. You are. You exist right now. You are having this experience that is the exact experience you are meant to have at this moment with the beliefs you have and what you have already created. You are on your path. And I think where people get mixed up is they have these desires of who they really could be or could want to be or the things they want to accomplish or experiences they want to have. And so there's this idea of well, I want to be a singer or a musician or something that I see is greater than me. And so they feel like, well, if they push hard enough against what they have, they'll be on a path to create that. And that's their purpose. The funny thing is, purpose is not something out there that's meant to force you to change. Your purpose is one thing and one thing only. That is to take and transmute energy into experience to live life. So you are already fulfilling your divine purpose, which is as a creator, to take energy and create experiences and then have those experiences. And those desires that feel like they're out there, you create them by not seeking them because they're not out there, they're in here. And there's a couple other phrases that people like to use that kind of push away you being the creator now to some future thing or some future experience or some work you have to do before you're allowed to be the creator. Like one that I know is talked about frequently from some people that I love and respect and admire. But they use this phrase frequently. Well, I we need to clean the energy, or I'm gonna I need to clean my energy. You do? How did it get dirty? Your energy is your energy. You might be aligned with things that don't match who you want to be right now, but you don't have to clean it. You don't have to go through all this work, you don't have to do all these things to make yourself now worthy to shift and align with what you really want. And that's what's really behind all of these phrases. It's this idea that somehow you have to prove yourself worthy to be able to have the thing you want, which just pushes it further away. Every single desire you have, and I mean every single desire, even the passing ones, you are automatically worthy of, or you wouldn't have them. You automatically have access to those desires and fulfilling them in whatever way with how much difficulty you choose to fulfill them with. And yes, you do choose the difficulty level. It's like a video game. When you first start it and you can say, okay, well, do I want to do the easy story mode where I just get to experience the story and everything works out in my favor and it's not and I'm never gonna die, or do I want to do the super extreme mode, or I might have to die and save the game and come back a million times. And over and over again, our mind chooses the extreme mode. So why does it do that? Because, let's say, for example, you have a desire to be financially free. You have a desire to have the freedom and all the money you want, to do whatever you want, not have to work again. But now, as you're imagining that desire and it starts to become part of who you are, you're still experiencing something that doesn't match that. Well, rather than just observing that experience and allowing the dissonance of those two don't match, your mind wants to explain why. Like, oh, well, I need to clean my energy. I've got to go and do some more energy work, I need to find my true path, or I'm not really fulfilling my purpose, or whatever it is. So it comes up with the justifications that still make you feel good because it's trying to protect you from pain, but still push the thing out there. But once you realize, once you truly, truly realize you are the creator of all things in your life, you can shift the tension in any way you want. And that's really what it is. Because there's still so much attention on this while you're trying to build this, your mind is trying to protect you and your ego and your current identity. Now I will say this. I'm not saying there are not times that people do things or need to do things to get to a point where they can now create what they want, and that's fine. But more often than not, I see people trying to use this as a justification for why they're not there yet, not as a real healing to get past the limiting beliefs that are their current identity. And that's really what that's all about. You get to create whatever you want, but you have to shift your identity. You have to shift your identity first. Because when you become who this person is, naturally the world has to match that. You have been who this person is, and naturally the world is matching that. So when you find yourself feeling like, well, I'm not really on my right path. I I don't really, I don't feel like I found my purpose or any phrases like that. Think about what's really happening. What you're doing is saying, I'm making up excuses for why this keeps happening, which means I'm paying attention to this happening, which means it's going to keep happening because I'm not shifting my identity. I'm giving myself more steps that I have to do before I can shift my identity. And yeah, you can play the game on extreme hard mode if you want. But you can also let go and play it on easy mode. And that's what the masters throughout all of history have taught over and over and over again. Shift your attention, be aware of what's happening. And I'm going to go back to those three A's: awareness, acceptance, and appreciation. Be aware of what's happening, accept that it is happening, and appreciate that that is exactly what is happening because of what you've created. But don't give it the energy and attention. Observe it. Come back to the feeling of being who you want to be. Come back to being in alignment. And yeah, there will be for a time, these two will feel like opposing forces, and that's fine. So, what do you do when it feels like opposing forces? Watch what happens. That's it. You just watch and observe. You are mindful of everything without being attached to anything. Because your attention is on your alignment. Your attention is on what's happening on the inside. Your attention is on is my spirit, my heart, my mind, and my body in sync and in alignment. And if they are, all you do is follow the peace. So let's go back to what that means. We've talked about it a lot, but I want to dive a little deeper right now. Follow the peace is you follow what naturally feels like peace in this moment, whether or not it makes sense how it lines up with this or how it is dealing with that. You just follow the peace. And there are times you following the peace will make no sense. I know you've heard stories from me over and over again, but let me share another one. So recently, we had something happen. We have this car that we've been uh driving for a while. And I say we, me and my tribe of people, we have this car we've been driving for a while, and it's the only car we have because we didn't really need another one at this point. And we were worried about is this car going to be able to make the move with us across the nation, et cetera? Well, unfortunately, an accident happened and the car just got wrecked. So, yeah, there's the external stress of, well, that's not my ideal life, that's not financial freedom, that's not that I could have given my attention to, and my brain wanted to, and like, well, there's a reason, and then there's this, and then there's that. I observed that it happened, I was aware, I accepted that it happened, I appreciated that this is now an experience we're having. And here's the kicker. So I don't have some huge verifiable income where I can say, hey, look, here's my W-2s and here's all the money I make, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I don't have a bunch of savings because it was all put into moving across the nation. And I don't have great credit because honestly, I haven't worked on it. But in the middle of all this, I had one thought. Go log on to this bank account that you have, and I have several, but this is one that I felt like logging on to. Go apply for an auto loan. I did. Not only did they approve me, they approved me for a loan that covers a brand new car. It has right now 135 miles on it total, with payments that are about the same as the old car that we were worried about making it across the nation. There is no logical reason I should have qualified for that. But it doesn't matter. I followed the piece, and the miracle happened. Now, if my brain was driving the bus, it would not have done that. Because it would have said, well, you're just gonna get more inquiries, you're just gonna be in a worse situation, and you just need to go pay some money for something that's good enough. Maybe you just need to rent a car, get up there, figure out how to get a car when you get there, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And it could have. And it might have been fine. And I could have played it on hard mode and eventually gotten a car. But in the middle of, oh my gosh, this accident happened. I still haven't even finished with the insurance and what they're gonna do with the car. I went and with two clicks, got approved for a car loan. They sent me a check for the total amount of what the car loan would be in the mail the next day. I walked into a dealer and said, I do not need financing and let me negotiate. Here's a brand new car that is gonna last you a long time and is exactly what you need. Done. Without changing my day-to-day situation or making it worse or more heavy, which it probably would have had I let the brain drive the bus. But here's the real kicker. I don't know if I'm gonna keep this car for a long time or not. I don't know what's gonna happen next. I don't know if there's a lot of I don't know, and I don't care. I followed the piece, I got the miracle. The same thing with the house that we're about to move into. So as we were looking for houses, for places to move, because we knew it was time for us to move on from the place we're at. Over and over again, things just weren't clicking, and mine kept saying, Well, you have too many animals, and you have this situation, and you're not gonna find an easy place to rent. You better just take whatever you can get. And maybe it's not the best, but it'll be a landing spot. Nope, didn't feel right. That feels like force. So we decided to look out on the coast of Maine, which is some place I've loved for a long time and always wanted to go to. Now, there were seven houses in the entire state of Maine that would match what we need. But found one right on the coast in Belfast, called them up, talked to the gentleman. We did not have to fill out an application. He did not pull our credit, he did not even verify your income. He said, okay, if you can pay the deposit, it's yours. Sent him the deposit. We now have this beautiful five-bedroom home right on the coast of Maine in Belfast, on a gorgeous piece of property that's 1.5 acres that already has fruit trees and grapevines and stuff on it. And we have the freedom to do what we want with it. There is no logical reason that could have happened. Nobody would tell you, oh, well, you don't have to worry about pulling a credit report. You don't have to worry about applying. Let's just have a quick conversation. Hey, I like you guys. Here's a home. But it did because we followed the piece. Instead of going on the online and trying to apply, no, just got on the phone and called him, and it was done that quickly. So let's come back to what we were first talking about. You do not need to find your path. You're on it. You do not need to figure out what your purpose is. You're already fulfilling it. The only thing you need to do is decide of all the desires that keep flowing through that I want to experience. Let me pick one. Let me pick one I really want. I'm gonna focus my attention on what it feels like to have that. Oh, what about when the world doesn't match? Okay, I'm gonna observe it. I accept these experiences are happening because I created them. I am very aware that they are happening. I appreciate that they're happening because I created them. But let me put my attention over here so I can create those. And then let the world take care of itself. Let the miracles happen because you're following the peace. It feels like peace to do this thing that doesn't make any logical sense. Don't care, do it. Just do it. Let the miracles happen. See, I did a video, and I'm gonna link it down here, by the way, for those of you that are watching this full episode on YouTube or on any other podcast platform. But I created a video years ago called Prisoner of Purpose. And the idea is this: you'll get an idea in your head of I'm gonna be this person. Let's say it's a singer, I'm gonna be a singer, and you dive into it and you push, push, and push and push to be a singer and decide that's your purpose. I am a singer. I mean, that was never your purpose. That's just an experience, a desire, a breadcrumb that the universe put in front of you to point you in a direction that would help you get more in alignment. You are not defined by what you have done, what you can do, by what has happened to you, or by any successes or failures. Those are just experiences. But our mind loves to make us prisoners of purpose. We have to be fulfilling something. We have to have this purpose, we have to have this thing that we do to accomplish so we can show the world that we're of value. And so often we take that impulse and use it to push away us just being the master and being at peace. Because, oh, I can't be financially free until this, this, and this. Well, I need to heal, I need to clean my energy, I need to do these things, I need to work on this, I need to go to school, then I can be financially free. That's not true. I just gave you two examples where I got huge financial blessings that have zero logical sense from anything I've done in the real world. And this keeps happening over and over and over again in my life. So you trying to find your path, to find your purpose, to work on yourself before are just justifications for staying where you are. And your mind wants you to stay there because it feels comfortable, because it is used to that. Because your mind feels like it is safer to choose the devil you know versus the heaven that you don't. Familiarity is safety to the logical mind. So I want you to take a real look at yourself. Where are you doing this? Where are you so stuck in I have to become who I want to be instead of just being who you want to be? Well, I can't have this experience until I do all these things and become this and have that, and I need to find my path and my purpose. No, no. Your path is right here beneath your feet. Your purpose is creating experiences which you're already doing, so you're already fulfilling it. No matter what experiences you create, you have fulfilled your purpose. And you don't need to clean your energy or fix anything. You need to accept I am aware, accept, and appreciative of this reality I've already created. I am shifting my attention to this one because I want to create that one now. That's really it, guys. And I know this sounds so simplistic. It's not easy, though. I'll tell you, people I've worked with, I've seen this happen, that it they'll kind of split as they start to really look at and accept and start to be really vulnerable about hey, I created this experience. One of the things that they will have a tendency to do if they don't watch themselves and realize where their attention is, is they'll start to define themselves by the experiences they created. Well, this horrible thing happened to me, and now because of my trauma, I have to do this, and now I have depression, and now I have anxiety, and now I'm a victim, and I have to be the victim, and because I'm the victim, now I gotta go out in the world and fix all the other issues for all the other victims. They've defined themselves by an experience they don't want to have. Or on the flip side, well, I've always been the musician in my family, so I have to do music stuff, and every time we show up to a family thing, I'm gonna perform music and I'm gonna be that person, and that's who I am, and I've got to keep practicing, and I've got to keep doing that because other people expect me to do that. So that's who I have to be, and I have to fulfill that purpose. Even if it doesn't feel like peace. You know, my son's a good example. For years and years and years, his mom pushed him to do art. He was very, very good at drawing, he's very good with art, and basically she decided that's who he was. He's an artist. And every birthday and every Christmas, he got more art supplies, more art kits, more canvases and things. Until as an adult, he said, I hate it. I hate being an artist because I never got a choice to be anything else. Because I was good at it and once showed an interest, that was now how they defined me. And yes, outsiders can do that, but more often than not, you're the one doing that. Oh, well, I am really good at this and I've done this successfully, so that's what I have to keep doing. No, it isn't. You were under no obligation to be the same person 10 seconds from now that you are now. And you know, I lived that for years. The first company I ever started was a web design and web development company. And I cannot tell you the number of times I've gotten involved in other companies with zero desire to be on the tech side or build the website or anything, and everybody just kind of looks and expects me to do that. But it wasn't because of them, it's because that's how I define myself. Well, if I have the skills, I have to do it, and obviously it needs to be done. I do not like building websites. So once I let that go and stop defining myself by that thing, I was now open to redefine myself as anything else. Remember, there is nothing greater, nothing greater than the power of you. When you are in alignment, that is internal, that is spirit, heart, mind, body, in sync, when you are in alignment, you will naturally create your happiest life. Because you're not defined by what has happened or is happening. You get to choose what that definition is, and you will manifest miracles. So get out there and bottle the peace. And I'll talk to you next time.
