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.

No, you come here for experience. What ever that is, is what you came to find out.

I'm not quite sure I have seen a post with so many 'yous' before.
Do you really think you know my purpose and, maybe, everyone else's!?

If I told you that, you would feel cheated of your own journey. Much like if I told someone, their relationship current or next would not work out. They would feel cheated of their own discovery.
That's why I also said this, "For experience. What ever that is, is what you came to find out. "
Meaning, the journey is personal to the person experiencing it. What their reasons are, if there are any, are personal to the person having it. And I was saying, that's the beauty of being here. Is that we are in this sandbox of creation that we can do and experience so much. Just the freedom to think the things we do, right, wrong, ect, is such an amazing and beautiful thing. And the ability to grow with those thoughts, and think something totally different in our lives/journeys at different times. And how many other species, creatures have such a wonderful gift.

We all incarnated for different reasons, some not just to learn.
ps.........Hope you're all keeping warm in the States. We in the UK had it last week.(Though not as cold).

Why try to define the indefinable?
Could we not simply agree we all incarnate for purposes we're not (fully) aware of while we're here (not most, if any, of us I'm guessing) and acknowledge that we're all on spiritual journeys of experience, discovery, enlightenment etc?
It's fun to consider and debate what the purposes might be but foolish to imply we know for others what we don't even know for ourselves.

But, I understand it's hard for some others to think it's possible.
The reason some know, at least in part, can come in a dream, in an extraordinary vision given from 'somewhere',
a painful lesson you just are over and over not learning, in meditation...remembering a past life scene.
I have said it many times, if people would read the research done by Rob Schwartz they would open to all sorts if understandings.
The path we have chosen for this life is not written in stone ---but there are purpose s.

That's why I like to say experience, and not purpose. When you look at purpose, it has so many connotations to it. Many struggle with it. As they want some big majestic purpose, and then they feel their life is meaningless if they don't achieve it.
When we look at it, as experience, it is more open, and allows us to define it as we choose to, and not feel defeated if it doesn't fit a mold we want it to be.
And freedom, in our own minds and thoughts, is a wonderful thing.
