I'd just like to make a distinction between a goal and a purpose. A goal is something you aim towards, a purpose is something you do, continually.
We all have many individual goals, but for those who believe in a purpose, or have chosen one, there is usually only one.
What you're talking about here is a universal purpose, and one which assumes premeditation; that we exist for a reason. You also assume (or believe) we are all part of the same consciousness. If that's the case, then yes, the main purpose of our existence is experience. We are the One Consciousness experiencing existence in all its myriad forms. That involves raising our consciousness, but it also includes lowering out consciousness, and experiencing things that we usually label as 'bad' or 'evil'.
I don't believe that, I believe we're here not for any specific purpose, but that we can choose what we want to do. And ultimately the best choice is the same as those who believe we are all one, because that seems the path most likely to result in happiness for all. So my chosen purpose is also to grow and experience as much as I can, in positive ways, while helping others to do the same.
