Gregor’s sixth book finally available at your favourite online retailer as paperback and ebook:
How To Find Your Life’s Divine Purpose – Brain Software For A New Civilization
Do you remember a time when you knew that your life would be amazing and that you would live to make a meaningful contribution to life on Earth and the life of others? And then what happened? Somehow our education and the process of enculturation cut us off from this sacred knowledge and élan vital. We became cynics and “realists”.
Since time immemorial human societies were organized around the idea that the life of the individual and of society have divine purpose. This book traces this knowledge to indigenous cultures, to the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible and the Yoga Sutra. Our loss of this knowledge is what has led to our environmental destruction and the 6thmass extinction of life as well as the current epidemic of mental disorders.
This book not only shows how we lost the knowledge that all life is sacred and purposeful, it also introduces layers of technique to lead us back to finding and gradually implementing our life’s divine purpose.
Also covered are:
- Our life’s divine purpose in relation to quantum mechanics, astrophysics and evolutionary psychology
- Connection to bio-symbiosis, brain development and homeostasis
- The practice & psychology of finding one’s life’s divine purpose
- Overcoming obstacles
- How do we know it’s the right voice?
- Daily cleansing regime of the subconscious mind
- Being in the zone and absence of internal dialogue
- Importance of forgiveness, gratitude, acceptance and surrender
- How to embody your life’s divine purpose
- Humanities collective divine purpose

Huuh, I have a ton of questions, and I am just at the beginning of this fab book. So here we go:
Question 1
You are describing the complex processes that took place to create life, the fine tuning, the billions and trillions of years, the detail etc etc, and yet we have to EAT EACH OTHER in order to sustain our life. Vegetarian, vegan, no exception – we eat living beings. That has from day one been the big question for me. There could have been so much better solutions, considering the insane system overall. Why? Why create this life with an inborn horrible factor? It always has and always will puzzle me. Yes, yes, I got replies that I only experience it this way as I am not able to conceive the oneness and live in a state of separation but hey…
Excited to carry on reading, thank you so much dearest mountain yogis, lots of love from the western plains and desert , Patrizia Helene
Hello Patrizia,
thanks for your comment. It’ll get clearer as you read on. There is a large section on how the biosphere works together as one body to create more life. If you look for example at the human body, we have trillions of micro-organisms within us that do pretty much everything including our thinking and our body is really just a breeding factory for the lot of them. Within the super-organism of the human body every cell that dies gets immediately recycled and consumed by others in the quest to create more life and on it goes.
So it is with the macrocosm, the planet. Each body in nature gets consumed by another and the term toxicity denotes a substance that cannot be eaten by anybody. Amongst the indigenous people it was often seen as auspicious to be eaten by a powerful animal, a bear for example. I’d rather been eaten by a bear than mummified and entombed like Lenin or the Pharaoh. At list my body helps another being to grow then.
Now, let’s bring in the chakra, which are evolutionary brain circuitry. Beginning with the heart chakra we begin more and more to feel each other’s pain and for that reason I am a vegan and practice non-harm. Mind you my lymphocytes are still busy killing foreign invaders that try to take over my body. But at the macrolevel, the level where I can consciously choose I do not harm other beings unless in self-defence and that evolutionary step is important. As beings mature and start to identify themselves less with an individual body but with the super-intelligence that simultaneously embodies as all living things, dharma (right action) becomes paramount.
There is not point to lecture a microbe or a reptile on dharma. Their actions are to a large extent automatic. But once we come to the human level and being dharma becomes the central issue. Dharma means to cause as little suffering as possible. But it also means that if you see a violent crime and can help, that you must interfere and if necessary hurt or even kill the perpetrator.
As beings eventually mature to Buddhahood and Christ- or Krishna- consciousness, acting in ones own interest eventually becomes impossible. But let’s never forget that even a Christ, Krishna or Buddha still have an immune-system where microbes do all the dirty work.
Ultimately to understand the answer to your question we need to enquire what is the function of a particular life form within the framework of the superorganism Gaia. The reptile for example is an embodiment of the base- and survival chakra and that means it’s function is to eat and being eaten for the greater good. To understand that more please watch the video “the wolves of Yellowstone” https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+wolves+change+rivers+yellowstone+national+park
It shows that a top predator is the key stone of a biotope. Without wolves deer will destroy the biotope in which they live. The wolf is actually a service provider and optimizer of the deer and vice versa. Both cannot live without each other. The purpose of the top predator is to restore harmony and bring individual organisms of a biotope back into balance.
For us humans however dharma presents now a completely different challenge. We need to become conscious of the cosmic intelligence that embodies itself as the cosmos and all beings. Part of this process is to avoid hurting others as much as possible.
Hope that makes sense
Will get clearer as you read on
