What Is Our Purpose?
   

There are some steps to keep you organized when making a family tree.

Why are we here? Wouldn’t it be great to finally have an answer to that ages-old conundrum? What is the purpose of human life on this planet and, on a more personal level, what is our unique, individual purpose?

In order to discover the purpose of humanity in this Time-Space reality, let’s first examine a bit of the purpose of the Universe itself. This Universe of ours is infinitely rich, diverse, and multifarious; and this is in no way any random accident. It is this way – full of contrast, of variety and opposing ideas – for a very important reason.

It is this way so that we – the conscious extensions of that fundamental Life Force, the creative source of All That Is – can actively participate in it’s never-ending creative expansion. The Universe is ever expanding, ever-evolving into more and more of what it already is: an infinite field of abundance. We are the directors of that expansion.

Everything that has ever been has led to this point Now; and everyone who ever was has led to this point of consciousness You. From here on, everything that is ever to become and everyone who is ever to be springs out of You in this moment Now. The Universe’s expansion and yours are intertwined; your personal evolution, the evolution of humanity, and that of the Universe are interdependent.

And how exactly does this happen? How, then, does this interdependent relationship work? So glad you asked.

The Universe is built on contrast and variety so that each of us can develop preferences, which in turn become desires. We need to experience, or at least be aware of, an idea and its opposite, a possibility and its antithesis, in order to decide for ourselves which one we like and which one we don’t.

Then, if we’re living our purpose, we focus on the ideas, the possibilities we like and in doing so summon those ideas and possibilities into the reality of life in this Time-Space Universe.

By summoning those conditions and experiences we desire (and, by unfortunate contrast, unwittingly summoning those we don’t) we are helping the Universe to expand (like breathing air into a balloon). And what’s more, we are ever contributing to the “shape” of that expansion.

The Universe is evolving, and we are the mind that directs the course of its evolution. But evolution is not necessarily towards some utopian ideal of perfection, some paradise on Earth: not by definition. Evolving towards a constant state of peaceful and joyous enlightenment is not a foregone conclusion.

We must choose that kind of fulfillment, with every breath, in order to make it so. And even then, there is no end, for the very nature of evolution is that it is always happening and never-ending. The Universe will never stop expanding, whether it’s being filled with beautiful things or not.

Likewise, there is no end, no destination for any of us. We too are always evolving, always expanding. And as the desires we summon make themselves a part of our present awareness of reality, our vantage point on our lives and reality changes, our quality of discernment develops, thus changing our perceptions of what we want and imbuing us with new wants, thus infusing new desires “out” into the Universe, thus effecting the Universe’s continued expansion and, in turn, our continued fulfillment.

And so on, and so on.
