The purpose of life is most often that which stands before us as an obstacle. A very good way to proceed is to face one small part of it at a time. A little at a time the mountain of adversity will wear away. And much later, one day, another will come to you with the same questions that once perplexed you so much. You will have the correct answer. Maybe then you will find that the purpose that seems so unknowable now is to prepare for that moment.


Earth....... the great learning school.

What would we do without here?

Yeah. It's a tough assignment. A military type might call it a tough tour of duty. Whatever it is it ain't easy.

Arrow Complex Made Simple

Beyond that which is same for all other animals, human purpose is to solve problems via access to Metaphysical-1, mind/intellect/concepts.


There is no evidence for any kind of 'ascension' ---whatever that may or may not be-- beyond the abovestatements.

1} Harvests Metaphysical and physical info bits.


2}Sort the bits.


3} Find patterns in collectives set of bits.


4} Collectively apply the bits to technology that supports humans and the ecological systems --includes finite Uni-V-erse-- that sustains all { Uni-V-erse }.


....Space( * ) i ( * )Space......

The door, the gate, seem symbols of transition.

In reference to the transition which we are attempting to describe here, we may likely each have our own manner of making that attempt.

I feel that it is transition from form to process. From who to how, noun to verb. Lover to loving.

All for now.

Well written. I see this. And along the way, we solve problems.

These two pieces seem to fit together for me.

Happiness is the only purpose of life.
All the other things are additions developed by modern civilizations built around religions.

A great Italian philosopher, Umberto Galimberti, states that Ancient Greek already knew that happiness is the only purpose of life.

The purpose of human, biological life, ---along with that of other animals and beyond that of the other animals-- is the purpose we humans choose to apply subjectively to it via our access to Metaphysical-1 { Spirit-1 }, mind/intellect/concepts.

Universe has no purpose other than the purpose humans want to apply to it.

The purpose of biological life in general is to exhibit the possibility of simple to complex evolutionary processes that can be manifest on some planets, and not just as the complex coding found on event horizon surface of some back holes, and,

inside some black hole.


The latter black hole stuff is just by speculation based on my geometric explorations

Is there no possibility of reasoning beyond our ability to perceive?

I dont understand what you mean. Please clarify. Perhaps an example/scenario i.e an imaginary scenario is fine for purpose of philosophical pondering

James,
This is sort of a
Christmas present to you...best I can do.
You spent 3 hours with my reading and writing it out.
I thanked you and was wowed.
But, I want to tell you, today I am especially taking time to go over it again sentence by sentence. It was and is very special...you are a dear.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
