Mission Life Entities
Each of us, including every newborn, every toddler, every child on earth, arrives here with a meticulously charted purpose to fulfill. Our spirits never forget what that purpose is. Our Spirit Guide knows. And of course God knows. There isn’t any purpose that’s more highly valued by God than any other purpose – our continuing toward the finest expression of this utterly unique soul that He created to each one of us is His eternal hope and in His eyes we never fail.
One of the most advanced purposes we can volunteer for is that of the Mission Life Entity. As a Mission Life Entity writes their own chart with God’s help, they essentially say to Him, ‘Wherever on earth you need me, I’ll gladly go’. The manifestation of that chart is a person and thank God there are many of them, who will sacrifice their own physical emotional comfort to be anywhere that calls them, to compassionately ignite, affirm and celebrate the divine genetic legacy of the Creator in every child of God they touch. They transcend differences in religious beliefs and earthy dogmatic rhetoric. They’re not here to preach or convert, nor would they ever segregate, isolate, or try to control those around them, especially not in the name of God. They don’t claim to have a closer or more special relationship with God than anyone else, because they know He treasures us all. They’re never superior, never spiritual snobs and they’ll pursue any occupation that’s needed wherever they happen to find themselves. Their true work is simply to actively elevate the spiritual health of humanity through words, deeds, example, grace and unflinching faith.
Uniquely advanced as they are, they invariable write especially difficult charts for themselves and these souls are often afflicted with childhoods that we can’t imagine anyone choosing for themselves. Those same childhoods might easily scar or embitter the majority of us. But the Mission Life Entity, not more psychically connected to Home than any other child but simply more immediately conscious of it, will seem almost nourished by their hardships, seeing them as the realization of exactly what they planned and exactly what they need to fulfill their extraordinary sacred destiny.
There’s infinite knowledge to be gained from every child, but if you find yourself in the presence of a little Mission Life Entity who greets every challenge with joyful courage and never waivers for a moment from their almost transcendent faith in and love of God, be their most loyal, attentive student.
Many of them have distinguished themselves in very public arenas. Abraham Lincoln was a Mission Life Entity as was Mother Theresa and was Pope John XXIII. But most Mission Life Entities are people you’ll probably never hear of or read about in national headlines as they quietly leave their profoundly spiritual mark on all of us. And when a Mission Life Entity charts themselves to go Home when they’re still children, that spiritual mark can sometimes be even more profound in its purity, simplicity and innocence.
Mattie Stepanek was a Mission Life Entity, born in 1990. Mattie was six years old when he contracted a rare form of muscular dystrophy that had already taken the lives of his two older brothers and older sister. He wrote five bestselling books of poetry in his lifetime, was named the National Goodwill Ambassador for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and was a frequent and treasured guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live and Good Moring America.
He died on June 22, 2004. He was fourteen years old and had spent half of his life in a wheelchair, enduring a tracheotomy, a ventilator, weekly blood transfusions, nightly IV fluids and countless other extraordinary medical requirements. His funeral was attended by more than 1300 people and his eulogy was delivered by former president Jimmy Carter including the words, ‘We have known kings and queens and we’ve known presidents and prime ministers, but the most extraordinary person whom I have ever known in my life is Mattie Stepanek’.
Among Mattie’s poems is one entitled ‘Awakening After a Close Call’. He wrote it at the age of 11 after a near-death experience :
Don’t believe the Christmas trees!
Everything is so much more beautiful
And wonderful, and glorious
Than anything we can imagine
Or compare, or create.
Especially the Light, and the Angels!
The Light is so many things…
A window.
A tunnel.
A sunset at the end
Of a polished pier.
And the Angels…
The Angels are more than
Just males and females with wings.
They glow with the Light
Of Every Colour!
One colour at a time,
Or all at once, or none at all.
But there is no darkness.
There is no darkness in Heaven.
And there is no death.
Even though we must die to enter,
As we face the Light and the Angels,
We are beyond any type of death.
Don’t believe the Christmas trees!
Heaven is beyond human description.
Believe in the Spirit behind the trees!
Believe in the Life related to the decorations.
Believe in the Word leading us to our Future.
And always,
And always, and always,
Believe in the Light and the Angels!
Mattie asked to be remembered as a ‘Poet, Peacemaker and Philosopher Who Played’, and his philosophy was ‘Remember to play after every storm’.
It’s worth noting that he never once referred to himself as a Mission Life Entity. I will always believe it’s because he was so busy being one that he never felt the need to classify himself as one – in care you’re wondering why I’m so committed to my believe in this divine label.
