What’s the Point of Life? Why are we here?

What’s the meaning and purpose of life?  Is it all just happenstance?  And what’s the purpose of YOUR life?  Is your life on PURPOSE? Your SOUL incarnated here for a reason, do you know what it is?  Here’s my take on this subject from a decidedly divine perspective.

The Higher Context of Life

We are all ethereal beings existing primarily in the non-physical realms of the universe. At the base level this means we are simply patterns of energy — yes, you are an ENERGY BEING. At a slightly higher level of abstraction, we are information and an information processor — we are pure consciousness. We are ideas in motion; we are repositories of knowledge.  Just one little problem with our knowledge, it’s all CONCEPTUAL.  Conceptual knowledge is just abstract ideas.  Conceptual knowledge is relatively shallow knowledge because it is not based on hard-won experience.  DEEP knowledge is formed from concrete experience.  This is why we all CHOOSE to incarnate into a physical experience — to gain experiential knowledge.  We are asking ourselves this fundamental question — will our ideas and ideals stand up to the “REAL” world?

The Earth Experience

Higher levels of the conscious collective of the universe created planet Earth and the physical reality system it which it resides.  It is a playground where we can learn, grow, and test our ideas, principles, and values.  The primary goals are self-discovery, self-growth, and self-mastery.  By the way, Earth is not the only inhabited planet.  The universe (source consciousness) created many worlds to play the GAME OF LIFE on.  Apparently, it’s experimenting with a great diversity of environments and life forms to see what it can learn about itself.

The EARTH GAME is said to be one of the most challenging in all the universe.  We generally start by incarnating onto less demanding worlds then we graduate to the SCHOOL OF LIFE on Earth.  Eventually, when we graduate from the Earth School, we become what some term “Ascended Masters” — we have achieved total self-mastery and no longer have any need to reincarnate.  Any guess to how many incarnations it takes to become to become a “Master”?  Many believe hundreds or thousands of times, at the minimum!

Let’s review:

• The universe created Earth as a playground for gaining experiential knowledge.
• The Earth is essentially a cosmic school, and one of the most challenging.
• The higher purpose of all physical experience is self-knowledge, self-growth, and self-mastery.
• We CHOOSE to participate because we want to LEARN and GROW.
• It takes the average being many rounds (incarnations) to attain complete self-mastery.

The School of Life

If we were to use only one phrase to describe the cosmic purpose of the “game of life” it would be SELF-MASTERY.  At the root of it, it is the desire to gain deep experiential knowledge to validate and prove our pre-existing conceptual knowledge.  Since you are part of the one infinite being that we call the Universe, and this being is all-knowing, you potentially have access to all the conceptual knowledge of the universal mind — you simply don’t realize it in your present form.
