Caravan Conversations
When “why” is the question we are asking at 3am and life is at a crossroads it would be nice if someone would come to us with a sign from Spirit. It would be so nice to have that kind of certainty about destiny and not just live in the tides of fate. It would be comforting to know what’s expected of us, why we are here and what that calls us to do. It is a mystery, and we are called to be present with it. We are called to bring what we are best able to bring to our life. We are called to remember. As an expedition of the heart, Caravan Conversations, based on the book Caravan of Remembering by Daniel Goodenough, offers a way to ‘remember’ a deeper place inside that can then bloom in your life.There is a value in even the smallest gesture when our hearts remember. It does make a difference. Welcome to the Caravan of Remembering.

We could say that what was dangerous to the ego last year becomes this year’s miracle. Our format has shifted some, as we are now beginning to meet with members of the Caravan community who have been exploring the questions in the book for some time.
We (James and Carissa) are interested in the...
This week, we complete A Year of Living Dangerously with a reflection on choosing anything but our life mission, something that is within us from the beginning and doesn't originate in the horizontal world.
Excerpt:
Here in Caravan, I ask, is there a life that makes sense to live that does not include the reason we were sent? Can you conceive of choosing anything but your life mission?”
The m...
Excerpt
When I think about life mission and the basic goodness of people, I wonder how anyone could be doing their life mission and not be in a space of gratitude and kindness. Life mission brings out the goodness of life. Life mission keeps our eyes f...
Jun moved wood in the fire with his cane as he began again, his voice just loud enough to be heard. “Our work in Caravan assists our horizontal world selves in the work of embodying our life missions. Together with the One that sent us, we create a container for the work in the horizontal world. There is another kind of miracle that happens with ...
Excerpt:
I saw Caravan moving through this universe outside of time, holding us, calling us to honor our agreement with the One that sent us. I felt the unending patience and grace of the work in Caravan. I felt the currents of collective mythic and cultural stories moving through the personal life missions of the hundred billion lives said to hav...
Excerpt: We're told we travel for eternity and Caravan. We adjust as many times and as often as we need to. This leads me to believe that living my life mission is a process, not the end product.
Life mission is a journey and preparing the container for spirit. It's not so important that the big dream becomes a rea...
Excerpt: I reflected again on Viola’s wish in Shakespeare in Love to spend her whole life dreaming if she could do it in the company of players. She meant fellow actors. When I set out to do design and illustration, these incredible beings were my company of players, and I had come to love ...

We stopped next to a campfire and listened as an elegant man completed a story. The pilgrims of Caravan appeared to have returned to dressing in more or less modern attire.
The work with life mission moving through time seemed to be complete for the moment. As the man finished spea...

Jun stopped in front of me. He looked for a moment at Verity, still sitting next to me, then looked directly into my eyes. “When you return to the horizontal world,” he said, “remember that your life mission is a sacred trust and spiritual practice. Your work t...

“Your work is to transform within,” he said, “to prepare the container for the Beloved. The days when you bring yourself back are the days when you face your fears and doubts and the depths of your shadow. Everything that keeps you from your brilliance...
Excerpt:
Perhaps vision is a kind of revelation about what we’re assigned to do that we combine with the reality of our life. This will involve the missions of others. It would include our personal uniqueness, the uniqueness of the time and the environment we’re born to, and the involvement of untold numbers of people around t...
Excerpt:
As I drove toward the used bookstore section of downtown Chicago, I thought about the myths of the world I knew. I thought about classic myths of Greek gods and goddesses. Inwardly, on the screen of my imagination, I reviewed Arthurian legends and the myth of t...
Excerpt:
Still as Pir Vilayat wrote, “If life is creative, then we are not simply the effect of our past.” We’re capable of creating a life mission from the song of our soul that is not the sum of our wounds, even if our life mission is a solution to a wound.I...

Verity touched Anni and me on the arm. She looked into our eyes, and something met in the space between us. Something in my forehead reached out to meet something from hers . . . and something began. Verity turned and began walking. Anni and I joined her, walking a pace or two behind, a triangle mo...
Excerpt:
I had something real to do, and though some part of me wanted to rebel, that something was always there. Real to me outside that emergency room and with Kairos, that something the heart of hearts knows and calls to, that transcends who I think I am, what I think I know and es...
Excerpt:
Jun leaned back on his heels. “The horizontal world beckons, shiny possibilities calling simultaneously from every direction. Life mission is a narrowing. Life mission will call you to make the tough choices. Itwill always test you. It will make you choose, and it ...

“Do you remember the Bodhicitta vow?” Savitri answered. “Boddi has to do with primordial essence, and chitta has to do with the heart. The Bodhicitta vow is coming from the primordial essence of the heart with compassion for all sentient beings. This is a fitting ...
