The Purpose of Life

[Guish]

The answer is in you.

[ZenBaller]

Using the mind to find purpose is an oxymoron. The mind exists to calculate, to help you be on time on your appointments and to count apples at the grocery. When we use the mind for existential reasons, we find that it cannot answer anything, because -simply put- that is not its function. That's why everyone is coming up with vague silly feel-good philosophies or just plain cynicism. So, what is the answer for your longing? It's simple. The Heart. Stop using the mind for big questions, they are out of its league and use your heart to be in harmony with yourself and the environment. There are no dilemmas there, just peace. The heart doesn't ask, it already knows. Always. It's not something easy to do, since we are heavily addicted to our mind, but this is the answer and it's absolutely feasible.

What I wanted to do is to go with the flow, find no purpose and accept everything with gratitude. Be thankful that I have someone who made my days happier even for a few years only. Death as a loss is part of negative programming. I have been telling myself that if I lost someone dear I will not mourn but rather be thankful that I have him?her even for awhile only. Not sure if I can do it but that's what I wanted to do.

for more than 10 years of my life I been seeking purpose of life I now conclude that to find purpose is to look for problem. Whatever purpose I have I am already serving it exactly as it should be to look for purpose is to try to go astray from whatever purpose I have.

Purpose of life = To find GOD

How?

Although everything is part of GOD there are levels. The lower the level (like earth) the less intense our experience of GOD will be. Your attachment self, and every person, place and thing is a distraction of sorts that vies for your attention and light.

Therefore, we must use our soul and free will to learn to go out-of-the-body beyond the earth, astral, mental, soul planes, etc, in order to find THE GOD.

Anything less than this will result in some type of incompleteness and suffering. None the less there will always be periods of rest and enjoyment for those who sincerely search.

Agreed. And it seems the controllers will go to any lengths to prevent us learning it. If one live in a natural surrounding, free of modern technology and influence he will find this is the default setting of the universe. Sadly, Transhumanism is anathema and leads us away from living in accordance with God's love and his presence in all aspects of our lives.

Edit: When I say "his" I don't mean to anthropomorphize God.

The conclusion I've come to is that the purpose of life involves becoming closer and closer to God. I have many deep thoughts about this subject which I write about on the page of my site entitled "Purpose of Life": https://sites.google.com/site/jmaf6556/purpose-of-life This video gives a helpful overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emhoLZkUllo

Funny how we have lost the only thing there really is, and that which we ourselves are
