Why Does Everything Exist?

Our entire reality is divided into two parts: the unveiled one that we are aware of and the concealed one that we know nothing about. Through advancing conventional science, we can certainly broaden our knowledge of the evident part of reality, but only through refining the same five sensory organs we have always had and nothing more. However, this will not allow us to make a quantum leap and discover a new dimension.

Kabbalah says that we can develop an additional sense that will allow us to perceive the reality beyond. Yet, we should be aware that we will find it opposite to the one we see today. Currently our perception of reality depends on our ability to absorb it by means of our five corporeal sensory organs: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. The sensations supplied by these organs are called our world.

But we have an ability to develop additional perceptions. It doesn’t mean to receive additional arms, legs, tastes, or such, but to step outside our self through developing another five organs of perception: Keter, Hochma, Bina, Zeir Anpin, and Malchut. In these extra organs of perception, which are completely opposite to the corporeal ones, we begin perceiving all that takes place outside of us.

Purpose of Existence

This means that our perception becomes limitless and we exit into an endless open space. We see all the worlds. Our ability to perceive them depends solely on how developed our spiritual organs of perception are. We are not limited to our body which is bound by how much we are able to consume till satiated. Now everything depends upon how far we can expand.

We then begin to grasp all forces, thoughts, desires, tasks, and the purpose of creation: the whole world around us. We begin to understand what is happening within us. In contrast, without this knowledge, we will never understand what is happening around us and how it impacts us, neither in the world nor within our self.

The science that teaches how to step out of self and unveil life in the Upper dimension is called the wisdom of Kabbalah. When we finally exit our ego and begin exploring the universe, we discover the purpose of creation, why everything exists.

When we step out of our self, we break free from the restrictions of our tiny body and rise above time, motion, and space; that is, we rise above the corporeal perception of reality in its three axes of coordinates: up-down, left-right, back-forth. We stop experiencing time for there is no time in that reality. We see other causes and effects, meaning that we receive absolutely new properties and abilities, outside of the connection to our animate body.

In the same manner as we are able to see, sense, and understand a person directly in front of us, we have to know and comprehend the whole of reality called the Creator or the Upper Force. Hence, we will feel worse and more restricted in our limited reality until we find a way to step out of it into the open world!

Reality is an illusion, the world is an illusion, and the purpose of existence is different for every creature, but in all every creature is entwined, and everything is one.

Interesting to see that Kabbalah has an equivalent to the Two Truths Theory of Chinese Buddhism.

How come none of the modern day guru's seems to be aware of either one? It would stop us from talking so much rubbish, and it would bring an end to confusing people. Alas, if confusing people is the tool of your trade ....

If someone comes along and states quite clearly the answer to this question, all the gurus, preachers, teachers and the wize will gather about and argue, call eachother names and contest the highest pinacle, so the answer to it does not bring clarity, it only adds to the chaos.

Why Does Everything Exist?

The simple answer is.. cause we can



Shall I elaborate more?

ohh.. alright

Imagine for a second that your this great big being.. really big, really beautiful, really wonderful.. but you’re so big.. and you’re so vast and you’re so beautiful.. you can't see yourself..

So you decide to see yourself.. that's the creation story.. in its simplicity.. hope it helps or bewilders


Also food for thought..

Without the creation of this reality?

We'd never have invented the toothbrush.. cause who knew teeth should be scrubbed?

We'd never have invented the IRS.. cause who knew we needed to hate governments?

The list of things invented and created in this universe is vast.. these are just small examples these are the things of allthatis

We exist because our parnents met and mated. Our children exist because we have the urge to meet and mate.

Food exists because hunger exists.

I post this because you exist at the other end

This is as simple as this and why do you complicate it.

Everything has a reason for existence and if you keep on seeking for reasons there will be chains of that, a never ending chain and do not rack your brains for this trash.It is capable of something more significant, is'nt it?

I don't know why existence is there, but I don't accept the belief that it's just a school for souls.
As tool using animals we have a tendency to see a purpose in everything because we grew up with the idea that everything had an inventor.
