That makes sense NiKnight

Liara's clarification is a good one, and it reflects yours and my differing opinions. It seems you believe that we exist because of Consciousness which created everything, whereas I believe we just exist, but not because of, or created by, anything but chance.

So this could be why you're not ok with the idea that we're here to experience; perhaps you feel there's a reason for us being here, and experience on its own isn't a satisfactory reason.

Whereas I don't believe we were created for a reason, so I'm not satisfied with any purpose attributed to an external source.

But I do agree that learning, growing, and raising our consciousness (in a pragmatic rather than spiritual sense), are good ways to live our lives.
