A Little About the Purpose of Life



In a simple declarative sentence the purpose of (human) life is to gain wisdom, all that the Earth can teach us.

Human souls are born (created) on their own plane in a state of innocence. The journey begins. Through the application of knowledge they will become wise. And then they will be ready to “ascend” to the post human stage of spiritual evolution. It is true that one can learn everything that is needed while yet in the spiritual realms (heavens) but this is insufficient. It is not knowledge that frees us but wisdom and wisdom is the child of experience. In the heavens it is not possible for souls to associate for very long with others of differing positions in growth… We can learn but we are hard pressed to gain through experience. So we come to a physical world. On a planet such as this one it is possible to meet and overcome adversity. This is the mechanism which produces the needed wisdom. This is the path to freedom (ascension). This is the immediate purpose of human life on a world. I say immediate. This truly is only an introduction to a much broader landscape.

There is much more to this story as we might well imagine. In essence though the above says it all.

Blessings to us all,

Bartholomew

Could it be that the purpose of life is to see past its delusions?

Wisdom has degrees, worldly wisdom and spiritual wisdom.

A child has a child's wisdom, a clear uncluttered view. The complexities of life can't be ignored and must be dealt with in a lifetime of learning.

I agree and later it is all combined into a synthesis of consciousness out of which a door is presented.

Hello all,

Might we consider that the end of our life takes us to the doorway of oneness through which we could have chosen to pass whilst alive?

It is possible but here are two thoughts. 1. Oneness is a relative concept (it is perceived according to our ability to know it (consciousness)). 2. "Doors" of opportunity must needs be presented to the aspirant while she or he is yet incarnated. There are two thoughts here. 1. While incarnated we develop a stronger will. 2. Application of Will from the physical plane produces two results. 1. That which is sought is found. 2. That which is envisioned becomes manifest.

Within the above reasoning much regarding the Earth's spiritual evolutionary methods is revealed. Consider the Master Jesus when he was on Earth. In the desert He struggled with his lower self and overcame. This would not have been so profound had He do so from His native spiritual plane. Later He, again using Will, set aside the cries of the lower self and allowed Himself to be crucified. Again this was a more powerful and enduring action because it was accomplished on the lower physical plane.

If, at the moment of our death, we find a doorway before us what will we do? The correct answer is the one which confirms purpose. Step through or not??? No matter our decision the new pathways presented will require we return to the Earth... for more work.

Some say that this continues until we achieve Mastery. I think rather that Master souls continue and are more involved with such things than ever before.

If you agree perhaps the proper course of action is to proceed "as if" while attempting to remain selfless.

Thanks for a good reply... What do you think?

Hello all-Bartholomew.

The thoughts coming to me are simple I think. Not the product of intellect but of feeling, and I believe not requiring of intellect in order to share that feeling.--I cannot be sure.

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.

Surely Earth is but one option, of many, dear bartholomew? (?)

How though, does one discover one's purpose?

Namaste

It is true that we may, on rare occasion, choose to incarnate somewhere else where conditions are different, perhaps more to our liking. The challenges of the day however will wait for our return. And then there is the question of re acclamation (to the Earth after an absence).

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.

I've read the perspectives of SGS here and do find some resonance therein:

I also can imagine that Earth or reincarnation perhaps, is one construct, one possibility of many.

Thanks,
JL
