In this podcast, coach Myrna shares how to find your life purpose. There’s a lot of pressure to find your, life purpose. You’ve probably heard the saying, “when God says go, just go.” But is that really the best advice?
In this conversation, we’re going to explore the truth about finding your, life purpose, and how to overcome any fears or doubts you may have. Back in 2000 God spoke to me and told me to Go that the USA is my, promised land, my land of milk and honey that I should leave my home in Toronto, Canada, my family, friends and Go.
He told me to go and he will show me the way when I get there. So, I packed my bags and moved to Florida and God did as he promised. He showed me the way. He ordered my footsteps. I just followed my intuition and looked for guidance. God said if you GO, I will make you a great nation, and I will make your name great. Today my podcast and my name Coach Myrna, is great, it is heard in 156 countries around the world. Don’t wait any longer, listen to this podcast and find out how to find your, life purpose.
The first thing I did when I got to Florida was to look for an office for my limousine service business. I found an office for my business, but it did not come with parking for a stretch limousine. I couldn’t find a place to park my limousine, so I had the brilliant idea to park it in a church parking lot. My reasoning was that church is only on a Sunday! they are not there during the week.
I promptly received a call from the Senior Pastor who told me if I wanted to park my limousine in the church parking lot, I should write a proposal of what I intended to offer in exchange. When I went to the church to drop off my proposal, I met the pastor who invited me to church. That started my relationship with Living Word Fellowship church, a relationship that was instrumental in the success of both me and my daughter, who was 11 years old at the time. That was God showing me the way, that was synchronicity.
I just kept moving forward only seeing the next step and never the entire staircase.
My life purpose was to become a Life coach and reach the world
Then God told me Go become a Life coach, I listened and that was also God ordering my steps because the month I graduated from Life coach school with my coaching certificate, was the same month I got fired from my corporate job. I became a self-employed Life coach and again God showed me the way. Someone invited me to be a guest on a radio show, and the radio station WDJY 99.1 FM Atlanta, offered me my own show. Then I heard about podcasting and stared a podcast then I received an email invitation for a TV show on PTWWNTV.
None of this was shown to me when I packed up and left Toronto. God said GO and I went.
Each step along the way God tested me by seeing if I was willing to do the work, he had to see what I was willing to sacrifice. I had to go through the wilderness. God said before I give you a lot, I have to see what you do with a little.
I remember when I was so broke and had no money for food or gas. I had worked all week and didn’t make a sale, so I didn’t get paid. God said GO to the ATM. I didn’t think I had any money in the bank, but I went and found I had $40 in my account. Don’t even know where it came from. I was ecstatic.
My life continued to be filled with favor and synchronicity.
I believe that I was born to bring light to others, that’s my Life purpose
What’s your purpose?
We see things not as they are but as we are.
You have to believe in the promise. God said I know the plans I have for you plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
If you don’t believe in the word or the spirit what God said about you, then you will Never receive the promise.
Have faith believe in the promise
For example, You have to believe in the word, the gesture and the spirit that God will turn every weapon formed against you for your good.
Everything God is going to do for you is already set aside, but sometimes he takes you the long way. The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, that was not the direct route. Just keep asking yourself, what is my purpose.
I want you to meditate on your, fear of death, pray on death, read books on death, listen to CDs on death, embracing everything about death. I did and I had wonderous experiences and wonderful visions and meditations, like big long dreams where I remember this woman comes to me and says, before you know about death, first you need to know all about life. She shows me how we’re both human and divine and I hadn’t really thought about that before. And I could see in my dreams, the human side of myself struggling to get away from the Divine Self.
Terrified and stalked by an oppressive, fear of death, John David Latta was a single dad with two children facing rock bottom, loneliness and bankruptcy. Hard work, and logic were getting him nowhere, the competition was tough, and he was in over his head. In his new book, The Synchronicity of Love, John shares his extraordinary stories of what happened while at rock bottom. His stories about his journey will inspire, uplift, heal, shock, awaken and transform. They contain the seeds of potential to change habits, beliefs and one’s deepest assumptions about what is possible.
Today, John David Latta is a mystic, author, teacher, and former founder and CEO of a multimillion-dollar consumer products company. He shares intimate and personal stories and teaches workshops on leadership, healing, transformation, awakening, love, synchronicity, and wisdom that unite and expand human experience.

Fear of death after hitting rock bottom
Myrna: How did your, fear of death, start? How did how did that happen?
John: Well, I think a lot of people that go through transformation that began with pain and suffering.
So yeah, so I was living what I would call a relatively charmed life, married two children. I was the store manager for a large regional grocery chain. I managed a number of stores, coaching my kids teams and everything was going great, but man in a short period of time, all the wheels came off the cart.
My wife got cancer, it came completely out of left field, entirely unexpected and in a short period of time, they had to remove her entire thyroid gland. She had to take a pill every day for the rest of her life just to live and she started to change. She started reading books about God and the meaning of life and I think she was kind of reviewing her own life. And I am not sure at that stage of my life, I was able to support her with what she was going through.
And then about the same time I left my very secure job, which I was good at and started my own company and promptly lost all of our money and a whole bunch more. So, in two years, I was $650,000 in debt, a quarter million in personal credit card debt and I was in fear of bankruptcy. In the middle of it all my wife decides to leave. She wants a whole new life. And so suddenly, I’m a single dad with two kids ages 9 and 11 facing bankruptcy. That was my personal rock bottom and it was embarrassing.

And so, about that same time I was reading a book that Michael Creighton wrote, a nonfiction book called “Travels” it was his sort of autobiography. There was a chapter in the book where he went to a spiritual retreat, which was a big leap for him because he was an intellectual and didn’t really believe in that kind of thing. But he had all these wonderful experiences there. And I was feeling so bereft and lost in grief and anger and hopelessness, that I signed up.
Myrna: Was the retreat in the United States you had to go to India?
John: It was in the United States, In the mountains in Southern California. Dr. William Brew Joy and he went by his middle name Brew. He was a very eminent Southern California physician who went through a big transformation himself and gave up being a medical doctor and became a spiritual teacher. He promised to do, life renovation, I figured that is what I needed. I just knew I needed a shake up some way. And so, I got my mother and father to watch my kids and I flew to California.
Myrna: Where did the fear of death come from?
John: I forgot to throw that in there too. So, at the same time that my wife got cancer and decided she wanted the whole new life, the same time I was suddenly terrified of death. I didn’t have any spiritual background. I was raised as a part time Catholic at best and stopped going to church when I was probably 13 or 14. So I didn’t have anything to fall back on. It was terrifying to me; death is like it’s over forever. It was so scary. But I had so much going on in my life, that I kind of shoved the, fear of death, aside.
And so, I went to the retreat. And three years later, that same teacher formed a year-round study group where we met both in person and online to work on the, fear of death. I signed up for it. At the end of the first year Brew says I want you to prepare for your own death. If you don’t have a will, make a will. If you need to make amends to other people or say something to other people before you die. Do it this month. If you need to talk to your kids or your parents or somebody you’ve harmed or been harmed by this is your time, you got one month to do this.

As I Grow Up podcast: “Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” It’s a powerful statement to remind us that we need to be like children in order to see the Kingdom of Heaven. But what makes a child so special that THEY are the example that WE need to follow in order to see that Kingdom? Well, simply, they learn. They learn from all the lessons that GOD has to teach them. Something that we all never get too old to do. So, now, I invite YOU to grab some coffee or tea and join me, Carla Silver, as we talk about the lessons I have learned, and am still learning, As I Grow Up.

Meditate on the fear of death: embrace death
And then in the meantime, he goes, I want you to meditate on death, pray on death, read books on death, listen to CDs on death, and he talked about embracing everything about death. I did and I had wonderous experiences and wonderful visions and meditations, like big long dreams where I remember this woman comes to me and says, before you know about death, first you need to know all about life. She shows me how we’re both human and divine and I hadn’t really thought about that before. And I could see in my dreams, the human side of myself struggling to get away from the Divine Self.
I began to love death!
Myrna: That is a crazy statement.
John: I mean, I, I really did what he wanted us to do to, embrace death. The lesson was, turn around, face your fears.
Myrna: Did Brew have you do the funeral meditation. The one where you are sitting in the back of the church at your funeral?
John: He didn’t but I think that’s a beautiful exercise, because I think we all know where we want to end up and that is a look to see if we got there.

How to remember your dreams
Our spiritual teacher did teach us how to remember our dreams. Imagine in your mind’s eye that you walk up to the edge of a really tall cliff. You take off all your clothes, you turn your back to the abyss, and you fall backwards in total trust and ask for a dream. So, I started doing that because he put a lot of emphasis on dreams. Carl Jung and a lot of others also put emphasis on dreams. If took me some time to remember all my dreams and after that, I had dreams flooding forth.
I was writing down as many as five dreams every single night, in middle the night in, the morning. I didn’t have the slightest idea what they meant. And so, it was a whole learning curve of learning to read the language of dreams because dreams usually speak to us symbolically. And it’s usually better to use your intuition to ever stand your dream rather than your logical mind.
So fast forward two years. And so, I own this huge consumer products company that thankfully stopped bleeding cash, and kind of flatlined for about a year or two. It didn’t get worse. But it didn’t get better. I had just enough to get by the skin of my teeth. And then I had the I had the opportunity to sell my products on QVC, the home shopping network, which I’d never done before. I’d never been on live TV before and they said you have seven minutes to sell your stuff.
But you’re gonna repeat your little pitch every minute because you have 700,000 new people watching every minute. So, I was really nervous again on TV goes great. I sell a fair amount of product, not a ton, but you know, it wasn’t a failure either. And I go back to my hotel room in Philadelphia, and I can’t go sleep my body’s full of all this joy and I’m assuming it’s because I didn’t screw up on live TV.
So, I’m lying in bed around midnight, kind of just dozing but not sleeping and all of a sudden, I have what feels like this gigantic orgasm in my perineum area. It fills my whole body with a blissful, happy sensation that kind of shoots upwards and through my whole body. And it kept happening again and again the entire night.
Myrna: Was that the, Kundalini awakening?
John: I believe it was, Kundalini energy. You wound not believe how many people have read my book and asked, how do I get some of that, Kundalini energy? There are people that practice, Kundalini Yoga, all the time, and that is their goal. I didn’t do anything. It was just my time. Again, this is really in alignment with Carl Jung, a Swiss psychologist, he said dreams helped make the unconscious, conscious. So, my lucid dreams started the process of my, Kundalini awakening. He was a big proponent of let’s make the unconscious, conscious.
Carl Jung talked about, heart center meditation, that was the practice and coming back to you talking about these lower chakras and upper chakras. He always said this is the function of the, heart chakra, it unites the lower chakras that are really for survival.
Myrna: Wow, that is that is an incredible story. So, your book is called the Synchronicity of love. What do you want readers to walk away with after reading.
John: One of my favorite sayings is you don’t know what you don’t know. And so, I like to use the analogy that we all build brick walls around ourselves, let’s call the walls safety. But then I think comes the opportunity, especially if there has been a lot of pain to start to dismantle those walls, it allows you to see the world differently, to see yourself differently. Allow your perception of things to grow and evolve. And so that is what I wanted to capture in the book. It’s 100 short stories. They are all true or mostly true stories.
Half the book had some kind of connection to a dream or an experience in a dream. I want people to walk away with the image of death and life after death. In my dreams, I saw on the other side is trying to imagine you know, skydivers, when a bunch of them jump out of a plane and they’re all linked together, holding each other’s ankles and wrists. So, try to imagine a grid around Earth made of light, but it’s actually composed of millions of people holding each other by their hands and wrists.
And so, I talked about that there is a crisis grid that’s built around Earth and it’s even being constructed as we speak. And so, the way I understand it kind of messes with the mind when I die, I go to join that grid, as an individual, but I’m also part of a greater collective. You might say, like, I’m part of that grid. So, I’m both, an individual but also part of the whole. When people are on earth have a problem, they have a question or they’re praying. This grid answers the question. It’s like a profound thread of infinite wisdom, you might say an infinite love or guides.
That is what my dreams showed me how to make the unconscious, conscious.
The definition of, alchemy, is turning lead into gold. That’s the meaning that we’re told to understand, but there’s so much deeper going on behind it. Turning lead into gold means turning something Heavy and impure into something precious.
Today we are talking on the topic using, alchemy, to transform your mind.
Bio
Vi Vi Thai, is a writer, truth seeker healer and fearlessly determined to live a free lifestyle, regardless of others opinions. In her book “Living Through Alchemy,” Vi seeks to dispel the myths beyond and behind, alchemy, shining and eliminated in light of this fascinating, esoteric practice; a compilation of a lifetime of soul searching.
The book “Living Through Alchemy” blends the fields of art and science, painting a compelling picture of how, alchemy, manifests in your daily lives. Living her, life purpose, Vi helps others to find their path of freedom to live their authentic selves, because only then she feels that we can live a fulfilled life of happiness.
Today Vi is speaking to me from her camper with her dog and her, van life. We are going to be embarking on a, journey of freedom, and, spirituality. Let’s start out by telling you what exactly is, alchemy?

Vi: I came across, alchemy, probably about seven years ago after I read the book “ The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho”. That book inspired me to embark on my, nomadic life, and, van life, because Paulo, loved to travel, and he wanted to travel the world. During that time, I was in a very dark phase of my life. I was very unhappy about my job, and everything else in my life. I was questioning the, meaning of life. I was asking myself questions like:
Why do I exist?
What’s my, life purpose? Because I was so unhappy.
Every day going to work, it felt like I was carrying a huge rock on my shoulder. I asked myself, am I supposed to live like this? Why did I go through 10 years of school, got a very high degree, got a very prestigious job in one of the best hospitals in the US and I am still depressed?
At this time, I came across this book; but I didn’t understand anything about, alchemy, at that time. So, I thought it was a really cool story about traveling. I didn’t know that there’s so much, esoteric, meanings that were embedded in this book. Not until last year when I was writing a book about my, van life. When I decided to go deeper into my, nomadic life, and, van life, I realized that it had to do with my spiritual journey and, freedom.

I wanted to live in a van, because I didn’t want to go back to the corporate life. I wanted to have more time for myself, to learn who I am and follow my passion.
That’s the reason I changed my, lifestyle; I wanted to live simply in a very low-cost way, and mainly focus on what I love to do the most. I just followed that passion and where it led me. That was the biggest thing I learned from the book, The Alchemist. I learned from that book is just to follow your heart and so that’s how it led me here. And during that the writing process of my book, I stumble upon a show about, alchemy. Everything happened like, synchronicity.
Myrna: My last podcast was on the topic of, synchronicity, which states that there’s no coincidences in life!
Vi Vi: I started seeing, synchronicity, happen all around me. So, when I was writing the book, I came upon this show called “Mystery Teachings” presented by Teresa fuller on Gaia Network.
Myrna: I am not picking up, what is alchemy, can you give us a definition of it?
Oh Snap Catering and Events specializes in catering delicious, mouthwatering meals as well as organizing and planning beautiful, memorable events! From soul food cuisine to healthy vegetarian eats, Oh Snap Catering caters to all dietary needs.
Vi Vi: The definition of, alchemy, is turning lead into gold. That’s the meaning that we’re told to understand, but there’s so much deeper going on behind it. Turning lead into gold means turning something heavy and impure into something precious.
However, the goals of, alchemy, went far beyond simply creating some golden nuggets.
The history of alchemy, was rooted in a complex spiritual worldview in which everything around us contains a sort of universal spirit, and metals were believed not only to be alive, but also to grow inside the Earth. When a base, or common, metal such as lead was found, it was thought to simply be a spiritually and physically immature form of higher metals such as gold. To the, alchemists, metals were not the unique substances that populate the Periodic Table, but instead the same thing in different stages of development or refinement on their way to spiritual perfection.
Myrna: That’s beautiful It’s almost like turning coals into diamonds, same kind of thing.

In order to understand, what is alchemy, you need to understand the, stages of alchemy, and how It transmuted. So, alchemy, refers to the stages of transmutation. It’s sort of spacious and through that process you transform into a different form. Similar to how the caterpillar transforms into the butterfly. Just like the caterpillar it has to go through the stages.
The 7 stages of Alchemy
Calcination – This stage refers to the breaking of our attachments to the worldly.
Dissolution – The chemical process of dissolution is to take the ashes from calcination and dissolve it in water.
Separation – In this stage the, alchemist, separates and filters the products of dissolution.
Conjunction – Here the, alchemist, is at peace with both the perceived “darker” aspects of the self, and the mask that they need to wear when interacting with the world.
Fermentation – Fermentation is essentially, all about testing this newly integrated self. We test ourselves through trials and tribulations, through the natural swings that life provides us.
Distillation – To prepare for the final stage, we need to purify the spirit to make sure that it is free from any destructive forms of ego
Coagulation – Here, there is the meeting between matter and spirit, inner and outer, good and evil, the union of dualities. It is at this stage of, spiritual alchemy, where the spirit has become self aware – it perceives itself, and it sees and understands that the inner world and the outer world are not different, but reflections of each other.
The, stages of alchemy, also connect us to the, energy portals, in the body the, chakras. All your, chakras, also connect you to the, seven laws of the universe, and once you go through the process and stages of, alchemy, you perceive the world without dualities and embrace consciousness.
Once you travel through an the, stages of alchemy, you open up your third eye chakra, and remove the blockage of the Pineal Gland.
Myrna: Everything you’re saying I understand. I do energy work with my, chakras, and I am reading Deepak Chopra’s book right now “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.”
Vi Vi: It’s a very natural process. It happens to everyone because The Universe wants you to transmute; change is the only constant. So in, alchemy, everything has to transmute. The universe wants to protect itself and that’s why we all have to go through the process of transmutation.
The beauty of, alchemy, is that once you understand all of these stages, then you’ll be able to have a different perspective about your life. When you have a different perspective, then you have different thoughts. You look at things differently.
Once you have different views, you have different actions so you do things differently. So with, alchemy, we are creating a different reality. Through this process of letting go and purifying, you start to, transform your mind, as well.
When you go through this process of purifying, you travel through the, seven chakras, and the, Kundalini energy, is activated. When you open up all your, chakras, the energy is lighter. So, once it is opened up, it gives the light the passage for the, Kundalini energy, to rise through the, chakras.
As the Kundalini energy rises to the, sixth chakra, your third eye, this allows you to see with intention and access to the spiritual realm. We have blockages in our, third eye charka; we all have blockages is in our, chakras. So, the end result is the healing of these blockages.
Kundalini Energy
Myrna: I’m familiar with, Kundalini energy, I do, Kundalini meditation. This energy is like a snake that goes up your nervous system. I practice thinking of the, Kundalini energy, moving from my, seventh chakra, and going all the way up to my, first chakra.
Vi Vi: I teach about the, 7 stages of alchemy, and people can find my book on Amazon, it will soon be available everywhere, but for now it is only on Amazon. The title of the book is “Living Through Alchemy, a transformational journey to freedom.” And they can also go to my website www.livingthroughalchemy.com , and that’s where they learn more information about the book and I have my book trailer on there. They can also download a free copy as well of the first chapter. In the first chapter I walk people through the, meaning of alchemy, and explain the, stages of alchemy.
