Default The Purpose of Life is reaching Source Consciousness

I read it in a spiritual passage, don't remember where, but it made so much sense. So I will explain it in the following:

God created the world. But where did God come from? There actually is something beyond God. It is called Allness. It is pure no-thing-ness. It is impossible to talk about it because it is fully beyond any words, images, feelings, energy or anything that exists.

In this Allness, there are individual beings that are fully connected to each other, and are wholly unite. It is impossible to experience separation there. Actually one of those individuals is God, the creator of our material universe. These individual beings actually saw value in creating a place that experiencing separation is possible! Thus, the unity of Allness can be much more fully appreciated.

And here is where we come from. We have been created as self aware beings, limited in experience and awareness. What's the purpose? To grow in awareness. How far? Until we enter the state of Allness. What then?
We become Creators ourselves.

We each have the potential to become a creator of a universe in future.

Next time you have a problem in life, or feel helpless, just remember this.

Of course each individual awareness has a very long way to go. You do not become a creator in one night. It's a process of maybe million years.

I found this to be so meaningful and eye opening, thought to tell you, that you are gods in the making.

So then the 'purpose of life' is to become a creator? But what is the purpose of that?

From what I've read in some esoteric writings, we were all created as companions to God and descended into the material world we created, against God's warnings, and that's how we became separated from Oneness or Wholeness. In other words, we are the fallen angels that the Bible talks about and in order to return to the Oneness we must go through cycles of carnations (reincarnation) until we achieve the consciousness and awareness to join him in Oneness again. The allegory of Adam and Eve is representative of the experience of this separation.

I think you are looking for a final step and ending which is the wrong thing to do, there is no 'end purpose' in totality. You should look at it right now whats the purpose of this life right now, why are you here in totality of the human race/Earth. Rather then trying to concentrate on your personal mission 'after' this life has ended, you should start thinking about what you are doing while in this life, and what your mission is HERE, not THERE (Beyond this Density). (This obviously hard to put in words, but I think you get the idea that I'm trying to put forward.)

Like GuideMySpirit says above; it is not about where we have been or where we are going, it is about right Now - this Moment - the Golden Present. Thinking about the past and the future will only warp the mind into thinking more and more about what isn't. Remember, there is no past or future, there is only NOW. But, how soon we forget.

I understand about being in the now. However, I think the emphasis should be on 'being' rather than on the 'now'. The answer to "who are we being in the moment?" is far more revealing and will speed up the journey to "who we want to be". regards

The idea of life has a purpose is not certain. This whole idea is created by the false human mind.

Life (being) is beautiful in itself. Humans mess it up.

Life, in its original state, is (was) beautiful, you wouldn't search for purpose in it, because you'd be completely peaceful in it.

Go back 100 000 years. You're a being on Earth. Everything is beautiful, you exist. You explore the world, enjoy the world, enjoy being, aliveness. You don't know about anything that is human made, so you don't need nothing.

If you think this is not true and I'm wrong, think about this "purpose" thing. Can you imagine a "purpose" that would make you happy and peaceful? I mean both following and reaching that purpose.

I think life (or being) can't have a purpose on the spiritual level, because what happens if you reach that?? You'd still be, and still aware, and what's then??

Or think about sleeping. While you sleep, the universe doesn't change. Do you have a purpose while you're sleeping? You can't even remember whether you know that you are or not.

I think you miss the point, because of the way we are all raised. When you say when you reach it 'then what'. Well thats because everything we have seen or done in this density ends, unlike space, which is why we have a such a hard time grasping. If you would fly through space for eternity you would always discover something new, and evolve, this is the same for spirituality, its more important to call it evolution even, because thats what happens.

If we lived hear in the most peaceful and beautiful state, what would we learn of the other reality? Why do you think we live in this reality? Because of curiosity of what lies on the other side of the fence, we as a human race have discovered, and now are jumping back to the other side by awakening the reality within us after all these years.

Evolution never stops, there are endless ways to evolve and learn that go beyond this world and universe and your perceived state of mind of hot and cold, male and female...and so on, more than anyone can imagine on this plane.

You're already the Creator. If you're waiting for something to happen so you can create, you'll be waiting a very long time indeed.

Very cool post. This reminds me a lot of the book, "Conversations with God". Very similar concept.

Why couldn't God and Allness be one and the same?
