Stop trying to solve an energetic problem with a mental spreadsheet.
It happens to almost everyone.
You start a relationship, a job, or a project with a massive boost of energy. Passion, intensity, meaning—it’s all there. You feel alive.
But after a year or two… the magic starts to fade. The intensity drops. The color turns grey.
Suddenly, you find yourself asking: Is this it? Is this all there is?
When I was younger, I asked people around me why this happened. Why does the spark always die? The answer I got was devastating:
“That’s just life, Pablo. The magic goes away, you accept it, and you settle into normal life.”
I refused to believe that. I refused to believe we are condemned to live in a grey cage of routine. But I saw the pattern repeating everywhere: relationships losing fire, jobs losing purpose, friendships losing depth.
The gap between our daily life and the deep longings of our soul becomes so big that nothing makes sense anymore.
And here is the trap.
When we feel this emptiness, what do we do? We try to FIX it with our MIND. We think, we analyze, we make “pros and cons” lists. We try to think our way back to purpose.
But I am here to tell you something that might save you years of frustration:
You cannot think your way to a meaningful life.
It is impossible. Because purpose is not a thought. It is a FREQUENCY.
THE INVISIBLE CAGE OF THE “MIDDLE WORLD”
To understand why your mind is useless here, we need to look at energy. In the shamanic tradition, we understand that we live across different energetic “worlds.”
Most of modern society lives stuck in what we call the Middle World.
This is the world of the mundane. The world of logistics, routine, and management.
Tuesday is yoga. Wednesday is the kids. Thursday is drinks with colleagues. Monday is work. Everything is organized. Everything is predictable. Everything is under control.
When you are trapped in the Middle World, you are living mechanically. You are a Manager of your life, not the Lover of your life.
If you try to make a decision about your PURPOSE from this place, your mind will only offer you “Middle World” solutions:
A better salary.
A bigger house.
More comfort.
More safety.
Your rational mind will say: “Marry this person because they have a good background and stable finances.” It makes logical sense. It’s practical.
But your soul doesn’t care about “practical.” Your soul wants INTIMACY. It wants ADVENTURE. It wants the MYSTERY of connection.
Comfort and safety are necessary, yes. I needed a laptop to write this. Practical things are tools. But they are NOT the purpose.
If you try to find your soul’s mission using the logic of safety and comfort, you will only build a more comfortable cage.
THE DANGER OF THE “UNDERWORLD”
It gets worse. Sometimes, we aren’t just bored; we are suffering.
We drop into the Underworld. This is the energetic state of fear, trauma, heavy emotions, and pain.
I see people come to me in this state, desperate to “find their purpose” so they can escape the pain. And I always tell them the same rule. A rule that saved my life:
NEVER make big life decisions when you are in a state of suffering.
If you decide from fear, you will attract more fear.
If you decide from scarcity, you will attract more scarcity.
If you decide from a desperate need to escape, you will just run into another trap.
In the Underworld, you are energetically disconnected from your potential. You cannot see the sun from the bottom of a cave.
So, if you are hurting, stop trying to figure out your mission. HEAL FIRST. Rest. Release the emotions. Do the work to get back to neutral.
Only then can you look up.
THE TWIST: PURPOSE IS A STATE OF “ENTHUSIASM”
So, if the purpose isn’t in the rational Middle World, and it isn’t in the painful Underworld… where is it?
It lives in the Upper World. The world of Potential.
Think about how you feel right before a first date with someone you really like.
Or the week before a big, exotic trip to South America alone.
You are nervous, yes. But you are EXCITED. You are changing your clothes, imagining the possibilities, feeling the adrenaline. You cannot control what will happen—it is unpredictable—and that mystery makes you feel ALIVE.
That specific vibration—that mix of curiosity, the unknown, and joy—is the frequency of your Purpose.
The Upper World is the energy of the INNER CHILD.
Children live in this state constantly. “What are we doing tomorrow? What is this? Let’s go there!” They don’t analyze the ROI (Return on Investment) of playing with a stick. They just follow the enthusiasm.
Your purpose is not a job title. It is not “I will start a spiritual business in 2025.” That comes later.
First, it is an Opening. It is a sensation of expansion in your chest.
When you raise your energy to this level—through dancing, creating, exploring, doing something NEW—you bypass the rational mind. You enter the zone where your soul can actually speak.
FROM ENGINEER TO SHAMAN: A PERSONAL PROOF
I didn’t start as a shaman. I was an engineer working in a research institution.
For five years, I lived in the rational world. And I loved it for what it was—it gave me safety while I was processing my internal awakening. I didn’t hate it.
But I knew it wasn’t IT.
When the moment came to change, I didn’t make a “pros and cons” list. I didn’t agonize for months.
I had been doing the work. I had been raising my frequency, connecting with that Upper World energy of enthusiasm and discovery.
When the call came, it was crystal clear. I quit. I turned my life upside down—my “omelet”—and I dedicated myself to this path.
It wasn’t a logical decision. To the Middle World mind, leaving a stable engineer job to bang drums and guide retreats is insanity.
But to the Soul, it was the only option vibrating at the right frequency.
PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS: HOW TO SHIFT YOUR FREQUENCY
You cannot force the mind to find the answer. You must move the energy. Here is how you start:
Stop the “Manager” Mode: If your life is 100% predictable, you are spiritually asleep. Introduce the UNPREDICTABLE. Break the routine. Do something that scares you slightly or excites you.
The Healing Pause: If you are in pain, fear, or burnout (Underworld), DO NOT resign and DO NOT start a new business. Stop. Heal. Breathe. Get back to neutral before you touch the steering wheel of your life.
Follow the “New”: Purpose is connected to the energy of the NEW. Creativity, art, dancing, travel. Activities where the outcome is not controlled.
Don’t Ask “How”, Ask “What”: Don’t ask how will I make money doing this. Ask what do I want to experience? What do I want to express? Power? Love? Compassion?
Use Your Job as a Sponsor: You don’t have to quit tomorrow. Use your “Middle World” job to fund your “Upper World” exploration. Let your salary pay for the retreats, the books, the courses that ignite your soul.
THE CALL TO TRIBE
We are living in a time where we need to take spirituality out of the books and into the streets. Into our jobs. Into our relationships.
Alone, the gravity of the routine pulls you down. It’s physics. It’s hard to stay in the Upper World when everyone around you is obsessing over safety and taxes.
That is why we created the Inner Spark Tribe.
It is a space where we remind each other of who we really are. We do weekly livestreams, we share deep content, and we hold the vision for each other when the “Middle World” tries to crush us.
If you want to stop thinking and start living your purpose, come join us.
