Mission Elicitation

The Format

Introduction

This format is used to discover your personal life task or life mission.
The goal is to figure out your true purpose—what’s fundamentally important to you. We assume your mission is something entrusted by a “higher source.”
It’s the core of your life’s meaning. By fulfilling your mission, you don’t just serve yourself but also serve other people and the greater whole. Like every task we receive, it’s something we must do for others while also actualizing ourselves.

Standard Steps

1. Establish Rapport and Place Anchors

Build Rapport

A and B find/agree on neutral touchpoints for anchors. One way to build rapport is for B to ask A why they want to discover their mission. Briefly clarify the function of the anchor.

2. Acceptance Check

B asks A about certain presuppositions:

• Do you believe there is a predetermined life plan arising from our life task or mission?
• Do you believe some higher instance gives this life task to us humans?
• Do you believe that before birth and after death, we belong to a sort of community as well?

We’ll call that community a “soul group” because of the soul-level connection among its members.

Do you also believe…

• …if our life plan is predetermined, there are essentially no accidents?
• …that you meet the right people at the right time?
• …that you can learn something from everyone you meet, if you pay attention?
• …that each person receives all necessary resources at birth (or can acquire them during life) to fulfill their mission?

Well-Formed Goal Formulation:

A goal is a future, desirable state.

3. Lay Out a Timeline

A places timeline markers for:

• 1) The point before conception (when A “decided” to come into the world)
• 2) Birth
• 3) Present
• 4) Future
• 5) Higher Instance (G.O.D.)
• 6) Meta

“G.O.D.” stands for Game Overall Director—the “director” of our life plan.
The “Higher Instance” position is where A can get advice, energy, or explanations for things they don’t understand.

4. Placing Person Cards

A writes down the names (or labels) of people who played a decisive role in their life or still do, then places them on the timeline at the points of significant impact.

Example:

• People who annoyed or still annoy A greatly.
• People who strongly helped or still help A move forward.
• Someone A deeply loved but lost.
• Any existing relationships that bring many conflicts.

5. Discover the Mission, Secure Resources, and Enter Life

A starts in the present. B induces a trance. A slowly walks backward on the timeline, guided by B, until the point “before conception.”
B says to A: “You are now just before conception, deciding to come into the world. There is a specific life task/mission ahead of you. To fulfill this mission, you must learn certain things from certain people. Right at this moment, you can see your entire life plan, later events, and the people you’ll meet, comprehending and appreciating them.”
What will your life’s task be? Listen carefully; you’ll receive it and understand it.
Once they’ve “heard,” “understood,” and “accepted” the mission, and told B, then B asks A:

• “Now sense whether you have everything you need to enter life.”
• If no: gather resources from the “soul group.”
• If yes: anchor them, “allow yourself to be conceived,” grow in the womb, be born, and enter life.

B “welcomes” A into life on Earth. “How wonderful that you’re here to fulfill this important task.”

6. Return Along the Timeline to the Present

B to A: “With your knowledge of your mission and your needed resources, please move forward along your timeline again, revisiting…

• Your childhood
• Your youth
• Your entire history

…up to the present. Notice which resources or experiences you integrate that best enable you to fulfill your mission. You might even step into the perspectives of important people along the way. Re-experience these stages with your mission in mind and discover how your life events and relationships shift in meaning, gather new insights, reconcile difficulties, and trust you’re on a good path.”

7. Insights and Resources from the Meta Position

A steps onto the Meta spot (release the anchor upon leaving the timeline). B dissociates A and asks:

• What experiences or lessons has A gathered that help fulfill their mission?
• What meaning does each event have now, knowing their mission?
• What insights has A gained that assist with the mission?
• How does A view the roles and tasks of the people they encountered?
• Which additional resources might they still need? Check especially the critical people encountered.
• How might A acquire those resources?

Then gather the resources from other persons or from past experiences, integrate them, and anchor.

8. Step Back onto the Timeline in the Present

A re-enters the timeline at the “present,” bringing all insights, resources, and experiences from the past plus any gained at Meta. Where beneficial, let A revisit certain experiences with these combined resources. Then continue forward to the present.

9. Heading into the Future + Future Pace

With all the gathered knowledge and integrated resources, B says to A:

• “Now move forward on your timeline to the point where you see your mission fulfilled.”
• “Look around carefully—what do you see as you move forward?”
• “Go inward; what voices, sounds, or tones do you hear?”

Having arrived in the future, A looks back and notes how they feel and whether the mission is fulfilled. B says: “Now look back along the timeline to see all you’ve done until now that allows you to say: ‘Yes, I’ve fulfilled my life’s mission. I’ve found my purpose, my yearning, and longing satisfied.’”
How do you feel?
How do you like it?
Is there anything you still need or want to adjust, needing more resources? If so, gather them, mentally re-experience, etc.

10. Return to the Present and Move to Meta

Walk backward on the timeline to the present, arrive, then step onto the Meta position.
From here, review everything you’ve learned. Let A rest for a while, about 15 minutes, so they can fully process the experience without questions or interruptions.
