Personally I feel we are here to learn and grow AND be happy.

When we are peaceful and joyful, only then could we spread love to uplift others. Otherwise we are just part of the problem being in anger, hatred, judgement, and vengeance.

After all, pure unconditional love is our true nature. As opposed to our false nature that is our ego.

Not that the ego is bad because it was purposely designed to instill fear in us to keep us out of danger and to stay alive to then be possible to have our human adventure of self discovery.

Problem arises when some misuse their ego to want to live and survive a lot more comfortably than all others using all means possible including harming and killing others.

For us to be happy, wise, healthy, kind, and to love God back are all good things.

Good to keep in mind God is not human and doesn’t “think” like a human. But we tend to project what we think and do here onto God, turning God to be just like a human father wanting his children to be this and that.

We have been gifted rare free will with divine purpose. We are been observed for what we will choose and how we will behave. Free will to choose some things that God will never choose, which is all part of a much bigger divine plan.

Some call what we do here while as humans living life and making free will choices a test between high and low consciousness or a test between light and dark energies on this latest newbie planet with free will.

God “weeps” in deep appreciation for our bravery and passion to be here in the physical form doing what we do.

We are being observed for what we will do, not what God will do or wants us to do.

That said the bottom line is, the further we move along the spiritual path the more we will innately return to our true nature of love. Pure unconditional love that some call God.

Regardless of the choices we make, God loves each one of us equally and unconditionally for a good reason. Because each one of us is an extension of God here in the physical form pretending to be human.

Fun!
Weirdly though, no seeking... No see King, no defined actuality which might exist. More maybe whatever doing needs/want done isn't of itself of import at all, it's all merely to come into lightness of being, kids, animals, winds in trees... a sense of jocularity available?

But then, as in giving myself a few days then going back to see what I'd written... yup, that works, what's written pretty much pertains to how I believe myself to be in the singular.
But then how about expanding the original question?
'On an as is where is basis of actuality of being, what do we seek to enable in ourselves, as that which would satisfy the heart?
__________________
In the sense of what is enabled within ourselves as an interaction with what isn't ourselves, as that which is all the rest?
Basically then what I try to do is be the feeling heart and to extent try and give space, within any interaction that basically it doesn't hurt, that it isn't painful to be in that state, whilst at the same time interacting as what might be normal, the intellect holding sway, so not denying that so much as allowing the two to be together?

@ Interesting ~ essentially transcending limitation, knowing Self, God, growing in love, wisdom and power, both immanent in any realm dual (polarised) as well as transcendent (self-aware with full freedom in singularity)
