I might suggest that we may instantly know intuitively what is the purpose of incarnation and just get on with it, rather than making that purpose a virtual or in some cases de facto lifetime of tortured doubt, uncertainty, confusion, rationalization, and frustration, as we see frequently in posts of many who frequent spiritual discussion sites!

The purpose of life is the evolution of consciousness. That is the purpose and opportunity as set out by the Transcendental Will in projecting ITSELF into and AS the cosmic physical of which we are inseparably, inalienably, and unavoidably part and parcel of THAT One Being. It's done and here we are. Now what?

Believe that, or spend your life in endless intellectual machinations, doubting, denying, and avoiding it. Nevertheless, that would be inevitably and ultimately the same process of evolution in effect anyway, although through different means (our choice), but in the latter case, with emphasis on preserving ignorance and inconscience through that doubt, etc., and therefore infinitely more arduous accordingly.

The sad irony is that the positive approach - of which there are numerous exemplars, teachers, teachings readily available as facilitation - yields almost immediately demonstrable results that are instant confirmation of progression and satisfaction, whereas the negative approach of doubt and incessant intellectual invalidation of spirituality as an expedient is the self-perpetuation of stasis and frustration.

Think about it.
