Does life have a purpose? , page 4

Funny....I always thought the purpose of life was finding a good beer and sharing it with someone I like.

"Man is a transitional species. The descent of the Supreme Reality is in its nature self-concealing. And in the descent there are successive levels. Evolution takes the form of an ascent; out of life it struggles upward into Mind in which the (process) becomes awake to itself and its world. And in that awakening, the universe gains the leverage it requires for the supreme work. It gains self-conscious individuality. From this perspective, the entire Divine Intent focuses itself, at least on this planet, in individuals who are capable of experiencing the Divine intelligence that is creating it."

—Sri Aurobindo

47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”

48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.

Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”

49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”

50 Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than that.” 51 He then added,

“Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

The purpose?

To grow and improve (evolve), spiritually/psychologically, and to bear fruit ie: to cause/manifest improvement or human progress (in whatever way however small or great).

Fruits of the Spirit
Love
Joy
Peace
Longsuffering (Patience)
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control

Love: The will, to give of one's self, for the sake of another's spiritual growth and well being.
~ M. Scott Peck, MD, from "The Road Less Travelled, A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth"

This is THE TRUE JOY IN LIFE, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
And also the only real tragedy in life is the being used by personally minded men for purposes which you recognize to be base. All the rest is at worst mere misfortune or mortality: this alone is misery, slavery, hell on earth; and the revolt against it is the only force that offers a man’s work to the poor artist, whom our personally minded rich people would so willingly employ as pandar, buffoon, beauty monger, sentimentalizer and the like.”

~ George Bernard Shaw, from "Man and Superman", Epistle Dedicatory to Arthur Bingham Walkley, 1903

And so the choice remains - to run away and hide, or face reality as it is, and grow; to choose life (with our whole being), or death (as a shrinking away from life ie: a deathful life), and the great beauty, paradoxically, resides within this very FREEDOM, to choose. May God grant us the wisdom to choose wisely, and the courage and the will, to take all needed action to realize our destiny as the free-will historical causal agents of progressive change that we really and truly are, if only by the neccessity, and the power, to choose (with awareness).

Best Regards,

NAM

Ultimatley, there is only you. You are the only thing that exists with certainty, finding the purpose of your existence or the reason behind your creation is only possibly by looking within yourself for the answer. There is a hurdle, however, it is called the "mind" and it operates like a computer, offering conflicting suggestions, and it forces you to "think" and provide further input into the program's database. When you de-activate the mind, there is just a "space" of "you" and if you can experience it in its purest form, you will find that your existence is the purpose of the universe.
