You are here for a reason and in order for me to do this post has a lot more to do with you than you think

leave your ego and emotions at the door please ; )

life is an answer to a question you are not asking but you are made from 2 things and require it as for it has to work

what is it humans ask? what do u want? answers to what?

You need to understand you ARE an answer AND you gift is the question

ask the right one be for its to late UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR ASKING

what is a question? why do you ask it?? did you ever stop to think you are the answer to the very question?

i made this post in order for some not all to get to grips with the role you play

LIFE IS NOT about you

never has never will be

get it?

i hope so for your sake

I think life is one super advanced first person massive multiplayer for our souls. We are here to learn from the every day lessons that are presented to us to further entropy. We can choose to resist what comes our way or accept what is and learn from it. Life becomes a lot easier when you stop fighting against the flow of the river and just lie back and enjoy the ride.

I believe my life is mostly about me, since it is indeed MY life. But, you know, i could be wrong, i have been before. Not often tho

I couldn't agree more!

I also believe that we do reincarnate but not as different people...that we in fact return each time as ourselves in parallel universes (I just made a response post about parallel universes in the grey area place over there).

It might sound crazy, but I think we are one big ball of energy sitting out there on a higher dimension and frequency and that big ball of energy feeds the countless incarnations of us while we're here in a physical realm experiencing the things that we can experience and learn from that we otherwise couldn't in our base level of energy form/spirit/light/etc...

I also believe that our baseline form feeds something greater like the "engine" that powers the whole shebang. That is why it's important to maintain a balance in our emotional state because the mind could very well be the link between body and spirit. Wait...let me rethink that...okay, then again, you cannot have a positive without a negative and a balance might indeed take us out of the useful loop all together because everything "out there" uses things based on positive or negative charges. Living a positive life can get you the good gigs in the end probably with your energy being more stable and preferred for use in the nice things like life, creation energy and all those things that are associated with light instead of feeding or fueling a big, dark, massive sucking black hole which destroys. Maintaining a balance probably gets you sent back here over and over again. Possible? Yes? No? Insane?

Edit:
Balanced spirit = return trips to gain knowledge and strengthen the ball of energy.

Negative spirit = your spirit energy being used or even CONSUMED in the maintenance of all things associated with destruction or bad.

Positive spirit = Your ultimate form being used for all things good, pertaining to light and creationism as opposed to destruction like the negative stuff would get you.

YAY!! I just enlightened myself with a new idea to look into! I love this site, y'all make me think

Individually, we are insignificant

Divided, our existance is self-defeating

United, we lose individuality

It's a tough game to play

All that matters is that you play your best

And don't do things that impede others' right to enjoy the game

I certainly love your posts Avenger, always an insightfull reply.

Perhaps I can elaborate on his thoughts.

WE are the answer to the question why.

We are two things, one is a body the other is a soul. What people forget is that WE are not our bodies. We are an entirely different creature in some other creature's body.

Life is merely a set of trials and tribulations. School for souls shall we say? Play the game well, learn alot and you win. Fail to do so and well, you get to play again.

Statistically speaking, life should exist on other worlds besides our own.
To me, the purpose of life is to live. Plain and simple.
The accumulated experiences of innumerable lifeforms, adding to the overall consciousness of the universe.
If we would put aside our preconceived notions of what life is, we would then realize that not only is our very planet Earth alive, but so is the galaxy, and so is the universe.
Just because we are fleshy meat sacks, does not mean that all life must be the same as us. How remarkably, immature of us to assume that.
The overall notion that life must have a specific purpose, is flawed in my opinion.
Can it not simply be enough just to live.
Do animals contemplate the meaning of their existence, or are they content to just life their normal creature lives, with as little pain and suffering as possible?
To hunt/forage to eat, to reproduce, to exist.
Contradictory to my previous comments, perhaps given enough time and space, all creatures could evolve to become self aware and contemplate such things.
Perhaps that is the purpose of life.
To become self aware and commune with the universal consciousness.
What ever the modus operandi, rest assured simply living/surviving is part of the equation.

Just posted this on one of my threads and thought it would be apt here as well.

"For starters the purpose of life is a relative thing. Your purpose might not be the same as other forms of life on this planet. For some life is about survival, for others it is about love etc etc the list goes on. The beauty is you have been given life and consciousness, the miracle of all miracles.

So when a people asks what is the purpose of life they would get closer to it if they first asked how do I find purpose in my life?

Life is like a seed which has the opportunity to flower and seed again into a great number of different futures. This is true progression. This holds purpose. "
