purpose

chinesejycc, i like your honesty.

this question seems menial on the surface and most people won't dare  touch it with a ten-foot pole. reason being is because alot of intelligent people are asking themselves this same notion. i would like to add a tiny hint of inspiration to your original question:

rather, what are we all being pulled towards??the late great Terence Mckenna opened my eyes to this years ago, speaking about a quickening of experience towards some sort of cosmic transformation. rather than believing in starting with a big bang (the one miracel), it makes alot more sense to me that we're being pulled by some sort of spiritual force that resides outside of time, and we're only experiencing somewhat mundane existance or exilarating joyous experience, all of which are illusory in nature. love the illusion. it'll be over sooner than we think. the past is so fleeting in nature, who's to say what really happened? does it really matter? what matters is the intention. i think intent outweighs action big time. intention is creation and creation is love. love is awareness. THAT'S why we're here. to start to live consciously. once we're living with pure intent (in the moment with few desires) we will metamorphose into a new experience. the reason why this life can feel so mundane is because we know who's running the platform...the mind. this is old hat now. that's why its so meaningless to anyone trying to evolve.

i tend to think that many of us are going to metamorphize into a new existance beyond the word of form. i mean, look around. we have no other choice. our two choices are die in fear, struggle, get wiped out by the madness of culture, politics, technology, etc or chose love.

love vibrates much faster than fear and will supercede this plane. essentially into light bodies. this isn't some channelled malarkey disinformation that seemed to run rampant with the whole new age movement twisting love into unconsciousness. this is something we the people need to address and implement into a reality. i know, easier said than done, but we gotta start somewhere. i believe the way out exists in this moment (where the mind can't exist) this is the key...this has to be the foundation for shifting in frequency.

Chinesejycc - welcome to the forum. 

A few thoughts come to mind but the first one comes from your post script or whatever it's called:
"Lifes a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high..."

From my experience, I've found that getting high works ... but only temporarily.  You feel better and then after awhile you feel numb.  Numb to the stupidity, numb to the seemingly pointless doings of "life". 

And feeling numb long enough prevents you from FEELING.

It's been said that life is a feeling, not an intellectual exercise. (Theun Mares)  Moreover, to find meaning in one's life is perhaps one of the reasons we are alive.  The meaning doesn't come from anyone else but  ourselves.

Many will try to enforce their meaning, or enforce their thinking, their path.  That's why it's incumbent to be as awake as one can and to step out and away from the "tick-tock" (Stuart Wilde) existence so many get comfortable in.  As least that's what I've come to know.

It's actually much easier to just be a drone and go along with the program.  But to me, that program spells death ... and for a long time.

I've not found waking up an easy process.  In fact, more often than not, I think - right!  I get it.
Or found it or whatever only to then realize ... damn, I'm stuck ... now what?  Where to from here? 

It's a constant battle (that's why some call truth seekers "warriors") to fight for our freedom ...

But, hey, it's also a lot of fun, full of feeling and rarely boring and you meet some incredible human beings along the way!

Hi all,

Well, I'll relay some stuff that was conveyed to me by my Higher Self, if you would call it that.   I've laid down / sat down a few times over the past 3 years to ask it (me....it.....whatever it is!  )  some questions about various things, usually "important" heavy duty type stuff / concepts, and always I've gotten some AMAZING feedback.  It rivals anything put out by channeling, is all I can say.  So far in 3 years it has never been wrong.    Quite a good track record!  But regarding that big question "why we're here", here's what I was told:

-It's not all about me, me, me.  *my* spiritual evolution, *my* personal experiences, *my* personal growth, me me me.  This is something that people forget.  We all come from the Creator Source, which means we're extensions of that.   Ideally we should act like the extensions of the Creator Source that we are in everything we do and say.    

I know, we ALL flub this one up, quite often.   It can be a hard concept to fully live.  I have been trying to remind myself of this, and in many ways it's helped alleviate grumpy scowling feelings I would normally have had towards someone(s).   But for every person I manage to override the negative reaction with, there's always one that I don't.   So I'm 50/50.    It's not that I can't do it.  It's just that I get lazy and I don't do it.  We're all capable of acting in a higher manner, overriding negative knee jerk reactions and programmed responses.  We just have to reeeaaaaally work on it, 24/7 and be committed to it.   

- At this point in my higher self conversation I started to formulate a difficult question, then I cut myself off because I realized I didn't have much time, the window of opportunity was only open for a short burst and that's it,  (I usually ALWAYS get the smack-down interference when I connect to my Higher Self, something realizes what I'm doing and immediately causes interference to break the connection and cut the conversation short.)    So what I did was just throw the question at my higher self in a "telepathic thought ball", and said "Here, you know what I'm trying to ask...."

It responded right back with an image that it knew I was already familiar with from a prevoius conversation 2 years ago.  It was an image of the Creator Source, appearing as light on the right side of my field of view, with little pinpoints of light all eminating from it, rushing outwards into the universe, each one connected by a fine thread to every other light.   Every one of them rushing outward to go experience life, good and bad, and everything in between, on behalf of the Creator Source.    We all come from the Creator Source, we're all here on behalf of the Creator Source, and we're all connected.   

Seems simplistic, but honestly, how many people keep this in mind during their day to day activities?  Not many.  I certainly didn't, and STILL forget, despite being shown this same concept several times in varying forms over the past 3 years.   This concept seems to be at the heart of the advise I've gotten from my Higher Self, the most repeated bit of advise.

So, there you have.   We're here to experience life.  We're here on behalf of that which is responsible for our existance.   So enjoy it as much as possible, get as much out of it.  And remember that your personal growth and evolution isn't really about you, it's about striving to reconnect to where you originally come from, a long long "time" ago.   

Some very profound and insightful coments here in this thread.

I'd especially like to second everything that lyra posted above.  This mirrors my own recent experiences and learning in matters of Spirit.   This world sometimes seems designed to keep us busy and distracted from what's really important. 

And I have learned that it's a very simple thing: to work towards living the Christ Spirit.  And by that I speficially DON'T mean by practicing what's known as Christianity, or any other organized religion or philosophy.  All one needs to do is first to recognize that spark that exists within themselves -- that inner voice, or sense, that guides you and lets you know what's right or wrong.  A lot of people ignore it, but if you're willing to listen it will be there.  Make YOURSELF a holy person bit by bit and piece by piece, through your thoughts, words, and actions.  If you're confused, ask for guidance.  Then, be willing to recognize the answers when they appear, because when they appear they won't be in any way that would allow you to "prove" it.  No, it doesn't work that way.  But if you ask respectfully -- and for guidance, not for a new car  -- an answer will manifest itself in due time.  Oh yes, and be patient.  You can try and force things to happen sooner if you like, but then you must pay the price, whatever it may be. 

In essence, the point is not to allow other people or churches to lead you astray, because if you REALLY want to know the truth, just ask the Spirit and an answer will manifest, and if you're paying attention you'll know when it arrives and then you won't have to worry about whether it's good advice or not, since it's coming from the top.

As lyra said, it's not about "me" -- it's about doing the will of the Creator by sharing your knowledge and wisdom in the spirit of love with those below you, while simultaneously accepting with great thanks and respect the guidance of those above you, whether it's a great teacher or some person half your age who just happens to know something you don't and is willing to share with you.   

Pretty simple stuff, once you nail it down.
