Sue from Liverpool asked a question about how people could go about finding a new direction in life

Q: If someone has started to wake up and realise that there is more to life than what they are doing in their career. They feel that it would be good to have a career change in some way as they feel stuck in their situation. The job that they do no longer makes them feel happy and fulfilled anymore and there is a need to change and do something new which is scary at the same time. How do they find a way of knowing where their talents lie especially if they have many interests and how do they choose what job to pick? Or would they be best picking an interest that they are most passionate about and develop that into a career?

Hai: You must look into all things. You must look into all the options, all these alternatives. You must weigh them up in the balance to decide what will bring you most fulfilment; there is no easy shortcut.

Q: If we follow our intuition do we generally end up in the career, which is best suited for us?

Hai: No, not necessarily. Some follow their intuition and end up in a career which is unsuitable for them. This is a thing of the heart and the mind this vocation, yes. You must look with your mind, but also feel with your heart to know what would be your desire.

Q: Isn't that intuition, Hai?

Hai: But you blend it with your mind. You use your mind also. You do not just listen to your intuition. You must blend them together.

Jon from Kings Lynn in England asked the following question:

Q: I have been thinking a lot about going to Spain and walking the Camino. Maybe not tomorrow, but some time in the future. I know what I am looking for lies within - would this journey aid me in my search and help me discover what my purpose is in this lifetime?

Hai: All journeys are journeys of discovery. All journeys are journeys of self-discovery for those who approach them in the right way. There are those who would do such a journey and marvel at the sights which they see, marvel at the landscapes which they see, the scenery which they see and so on. And by the end of their journey they would have many memories, many memories of beautiful scenes, beautiful countryside, beautiful nature. But there are those who would look deeper, would look deeper on such a journey, would look within themselves, would reflect upon their selves, their wishes, their needs, their identity. And indeed the journey without would be mirrored by an inner journey, a journey within, which would aid the person to discover their inner most being, inner most self, their inner most wishes. Such a journey may be a spiritual journey. Such a journey may be indeed a journey of discovery of the self for those who approach it in the right way, for those who would seek to explore themselves as well as the outer world. 

 Praying in relation to Personal Problems.

Q: If you are not quite sure which path to take in life will it be easier if you say a prayer?

Hai: Best to meditate, best to meditate on problem. Best to contemplate on problem. Meditate on problem and answer come from within. But also you may open yourself and make space for those who are in Spirit World to come to you with their advice also.

Q: So can a message just come into your head?

Hai: Then you feel certain and a certainty about it. But you must take responsibility for your own decisions as we say many a time. It is your life at end of day. You must make decision. You may receive inspiration. You may receive ideas and thoughts from others, just as you may receive advice from your earthly friends, but you must make decision at end of day. There are those who seek advice from relatives in Spirit Lands, but, not many in Spirit Lands any the wiser than when they left earth life. (Laughter)

Parents and Children. One circle member asked if her children were not on the right path was there any way she could help them to be on the right path.

Hai: And who is to judge what is the right path, my Jane? Who is to judge what is the right path?

I will tell you a story: There was once a monk who was travelling to a village, a place in China. He came to a cross roads and he told someone who was waiting at the cross roads, just passing the time of day, that he wished to go to this town. So he said, "I am going down this road now". This was the right fork to this town, but the person who was stood at the crossroads said: "My friend, you should not go down that road. You should take this other road here, through the mountains, it is a short cut, and you will be there much quicker by taking this short cut." So the monk said, "Thank you my friend I will take your advice and use the short cut."

And so he set off through the mountain path, but as he was going through the mountain path the rains came down. There was a storm and thunder roared and there was an avalanche of rocks in the mountain pass and so the monk had to turn around and make his way back to the cross roads once more because he could not overcome the fall of rock. So he returned to the crossroads. There was no one there. The man who had been standing there was long gone. So he said to himself: "Well I must now start back along my old road, my old road of choice." And so he walks along the path and by nightfall he arrives at the village. He finds himself lodgings and enjoys the warmth and peace of his evening.

There was a long pause, then Hai continued:

But because he first went along the mountain path and then had to return to the crossroads and take the other path, he was three hours late in reaching his destination; but even more of a pity, he missed the sage who was crossing the path three hours earlier.

Q: So he should have obeyed his own instincts?

Hai: Yes.

Q: And my children have to do the same?

Hai: Yes. You must be like wise sage on the path, travelling sage on the path. If your children wish to trouble you with a question you must readily offer them your sagely sayings.
