Are you spiritual though?

so I am looking for some help from people of faith. My questions are: Why is everything here? (everything = universe, galaxy, planets, humans,
fish, bacteria, and/or any other "created" thing.) Not only why is "everything" here, but why are WE (people) here? What is reason that we are in
existence?

May I recommend a fantastic series that I read about in a
Nexus magazine. The first book of the series is called "Anastasia". Anastasia is
a a siberian taiga recluse, and is part of the ancient Vedic tribe. This tribe has kept some of the ancient knowledge of their pristine origins.
Anyways let me try and answer your question from a quote in the 5th book of the series "Co-Creation".

'Conjoint creation and joy to all from its comtemplation!'

It's my belief, you and your wife must find the joy from the contemplation of your unconceived child. The timing may not be right. Most children
these days are born as a result of carnal desires, but that is not how your story is, so you must prepare, dream, and have confidence to smight the
doubt of infertility.
Here is a quote from the first book of the series just before the author (its a sorta documentary almost) conceives with this taiga recluse.
A little info to help with the story. Vladimir Megre chartered 3 riverboats on the River Ob in Siberia, on an expedition called The Merchant Convoy
to foster economic ties with the far north Russian regions. On one particular day the convoy stopped at a small village on their way back to
Novosibirsk. Here, Vladimir runs into two elderly men who tell him of a ringing cedar that was ready to be cut down and they wanted him to take it
with him to distribute. he doesn't take it but the elders mentioned healing properties of the cedar tree, which sparked his interest and provokes
him to return a year later. when he arrives, under different conditions and intentions, he meets Anastasia. turns out the two elderly men were her
grandfather and great-grand father.
i hope i haven't been too confusing, summarizing and leaving lots out buy i can see i might be getting a little carried away too so on with the
quote.

This is the second night in the Siberian Taiga with Anastasia
"Anastasia kept her word and lay down bside me. I sensed the fragrance of her body, which surpassed all other odours. It was more pleasant than the
most delicate perfume I had ever sensed from a woman's body. But now I had no thought of wanting to posess her. After my attempt to do so on the
way to the glade,
(where she lives, no house camp just nature!) which had resulted at the time in an attack of fear and loss of
counciousness, I no longer felt aroused by fleshly desires, even when I saw her naked.
I lay down and dreamt of the son my wife never bore to me. And I tought: Wouldn't it be wonderful if my son could be borne by Anastasia! She is so
healthy, sturdy and beautiful! The child, then, too would be halthy. He would look like me. Like her too, but more like me. He would be a stong
and clever individual. He would know a lot. He would become talented and prosper.
I imagined our infant son sucking at his mother's nipple and involuntarily put my hand on Anastasia's warn, supple breast. Immediately a shiver ran
through my whole body and then dissipated at once, but it wasn't a shiver of fear, but something else, extraodinarily pleasing. I didn't take my
hand away, but held my breath and waited for what might happen. Next thing I noticed was the feeling of the soft palm of her hand on mine. She did
not push me away."
