TCL - S3EP1 - How can you find your purpose?

Architecture vs Archaeology

It’s Season 3 of TechComedyLife. This is VIJEV, and we seek an emotional and spiritual understanding of our world to help us find our purpose. We don’t mean this in an abstract sense. Rather, we discuss practical methods to help you discover your purpose, even when you don’t know where to start. Did you know that if you ask people in careers or busy working lives what they would do if they had all the money they needed and no longer had to work, most can’t even imagine it? As dreamy as that sounds, many people I’ve asked can’t fathom such a hypothetical situation. What? No work? Free time to do what I want? Unheard of! They can't even fantasize about it. I’m stumped. It costs nothing and requires no effort to dream of an ideal life, yet they can’t? This happens for two reasons:

  1. When people are fully absorbed in their work, all their time is consumed by it. There’s simply no time to consider anything else, and the work is often so exhausting that they have no energy left for other thoughts. Just work, eat, sleep, repeat.

  2. More importantly, if people were to seriously consider a life outside of work, it would disrupt their mindset so profoundly that it could have the same effect as Neo being unplugged from the Matrix. It would force them to confront the reality that there is a life beyond work, and it feels safer to stay in denial.

I’m with my guest, Deepak John, aka. Indigo Jedi introduces his story of Goobie and Doobie showing the value of doing things naturally where a high-performing neurosurgeon discovered that instead of expensive surgeries, it was easier and cheaper to solve those problems using more natural methods including diet and exercise. The interest in the video garnered millions of views as it proved that people want a different alternative way of living life.

We talk about two methods of building on your purpose. That’s Architecture vs Archeology.

Architecture – This is about building your life with the end in mind. Do you have a specific goal? Do you want to become a doctor or an athlete? It’s a system built on a blueprint that has been tested to help you achieve your desired outcome. For example, if you want to become an athlete, it involves fitness, training, and gaining the qualifications to compete, among other steps. There are specific, tried-and-tested methods to help you reach your goals.

Archaeology – This methodology helps you discover your interests by exploring with an open mind, without specific end goals. It’s the idea of digging to uncover something, driven by curiosity. Just like an archaeologist who may not find bones on their first dig, they keep digging, not knowing exactly what they will find until they do. The “process of digging” itself becomes the goal, and the purpose reveals itself along the way. This is a systems-thinking process where you follow your inner calling, interests, and hobbies to build toward what you want in life. For example, do you love movies? Do you enjoy watching them? Do you find interest in the process of making them? Or perhaps you enjoy discussing them? There’s no clear answer and that’s the point. Lean into these interests, and where they intersect, you may discover a passion for filmmaking, which could lead you to become a writer, director, or perhaps both!

Indigo Jedi then digs deeper showing us his path and purpose of living healthier using a technology called “Quantum Resonance” to assess the body, treating it with the right natural products, and eating healthy foods to build without having to rely on expensive pharmaceutical medications that often cause more problems and side effects.

When you are living a healthy active life, you become more receptive to your inner calling. This calling will then guide you towards your purpose driven by your curiosity. What you end up discovering may pleasantly surprise you.
