What is our purpose?
What is our purpose?
I think this is one of the greatest questions that one can ask in life. And not just to ask it, but to actually seek out the answer to it.
We come to this place deaf, dumb and blind as to what our purpose is. We have no universally acceptable answer in this regard. Yet it is a question that has been asked since the dawn of time, continues to be asked to this day and will probably continue to be asked long after we have moved on.
The fact that we don’t know, and have not yet found out, tells us something very important about it.
We can say one thing for sure: “We are not exactly sure what our purpose is.” Many have and will continue to argue about this and as you can imagine, the answers are as diferent as the people who have pondered this topic.
The reason for this is that the answers could never be universally justified by each and every intellect out there. Intellects will always be individual. Absolute truth could never reside in such a place as an individual mind – which is subject to ones personal conditioning.
The reason for a lack of a universally acceptable answer is because the answer to this question comes from a place beyond our intellects – a place that most never bother to go, a place that most don’t even believe exists.
Due to the fact that we don’t know and that we want to know, I personally believe that part of our purpose is to determine what our purpose is.
And I believe that the only way to find this answer is to go beyond the limitations of what our minds and intellects can do – and go to the place where truth is constant and shared between all beings.
I believe that we are called to take on the grand adventure to rise above those parts of ourselves that have limitations to the place where we are at one with the all of creation.
I believe it is here where we find out who we are and why we are here.
The catch is that the truth of this will never come in a way that works in a way the intellect is used to. I do not believe the answer will come in the form of knowledge that can be assimilated by the mind. Rather, I believe it to be a state of being where you are at one with the absolute truth of the universe.
This is why those who operate entirely from a point of intellect will never understand, nor come to the universal truth of, things that are beyond it.
This is what every great Saint and Sage has pointed to.
These are the brave individuals who have taken the inner journey and found that the greatest liberation and the greatest joy comes from within - and only from within.
No one can take you there, no one else can be responsible for your liberation; they can only point the way, they can only help you to find it within yourself.
No one can claim ownership of the truth or the path to it. Only you are the gateway to it.
It is up to each individual to take the step.
It’s easy, and we will learn how to take that step right here and now…
