Personal Designation and Mediumship
Personal Designation is the discovery of the reason for existence, the reason you are in
the world, what you are, what you need to learn, and what to do for your own evolution. It is
the encounter with your own nature, not outsourcing life, being consequent and taking responsibility for your thoughts, actions and feelings. This is not about finding a mission in the
world, but the acquisition of the consciousness of what one is and what one wants to be, having as a base the consciousness of one’s own immortality. Personal Designation is paradoxically,
to
learn
to
leave
the
world
and
stay in it, to
continue
to
self-improve
and
self-
transform. It
is to find the
flame of life
and
let
never
it
go,
becoming
master
of
yourself, the
owner
of
your
own
life,
self-
determined
and
con-
scious that your future belongs to you. It is venturing into living in an authentic and correct
way according to one’s inner principles and ethics. It is to become a master of one’s own destiny and builder of a personality more suited to grow spiritually. It is achieving a personality
consequent with one’s own acts, whose consciousness is in perfect harmony with the purposes of personal and collective realization. People must discover their Personal Designation
knowing that it is not equal to anyone else. There are no absolute rules in order for it to be
achieved. Make it your own way, your manner and assume the consequences. Personal Designation is what you have to build within, so that the world can have a meaning to you and to
all who are part of it. Personal Designation is the very being that is in the world. It is not to
do now to make life better in the hereafter. Finding the mission that was planned from a reincarnation program is part of it, however it is more than that. The exercise of mediumship,
when it is part of a person’s life, should be inserted in one’s Personal Designation as a natural
thing, without obligation or enforcement. It must be a healthy choice and accepted with conscious joy. Being medium is inherent in the human condition; exercise mediumship in favour
of life is a personal choice.
