What Is Our Purpose

Posted on December 25, 2007 in Laws Of Attraction by byronb

Why are we here? Wouldn’t it be great to finally have ananswer to that ages-old conundrum? What is the purpose of human life on thisplanet and, on a more personal level, what is our unique, individual purpose?

In order to discover the purpose of humanity in thisTime-Space reality, let’s first examine a bit of the purpose of the Universeitself. This Universe of ours is infinitely rich, diverse, and multifarious;and this is in no way any random accident. It is this way - full of contrast,of variety and opposing ideas - for a very important reason.

It is this way so that we - the conscious extensions of thatfundamental Life Force, the creative source of All That Is - can activelyparticipate in it’s never-ending creative expansion. The Universe is everexpanding, ever-evolving into more and more of what it already is: an infinitefield of abundance. We are the directors of that expansion.

Everything that has ever been has led to this point Now; andeveryone who ever was has led to this point of consciousness You. From here on,everything that is ever to become and everyone who is ever to be springs out ofYou in this moment Now. The Universe’s expansion and yours are intertwined;your personal evolution, the evolution of humanity, and that of the Universeare interdependent.

And how exactly does this happen? How, then, does thisinterdependent relationship work? So glad you asked.

The Universe is built on contrast and variety so that eachof us can develop preferences, which in turn become desires. We need toexperience, or at least be aware of, an idea and its opposite, a possibilityand its antithesis, in order to decide for ourselves which one we like andwhich one we don’t.

Then, if we’re living our purpose, we focus on the ideas,the possibilities we like and in doing so summon those ideas and possibilitiesinto the reality of life in this Time-Space Universe.

By summoning those conditions and experiences we desire(and, by unfortunate contrast, unwittingly summoning those we don’t) we arehelping the Universe to expand (like breathing air into a balloon). And what’smore, we are ever contributing to the “shape” of that expansion.

The Universe is evolving, and we are the mind that directsthe course of its evolution. But evolution is not necessarily towards someutopian ideal of perfection, some paradise on Earth: not by definition.Evolving towards a constant state of peaceful and joyous enlightenment is not aforegone conclusion.

We must choose that kind of fulfillment, with every breath,in order to make it so. And even then, there is no end, for the very nature ofevolution is that it is always happening and never-ending. The Universe willnever stop expanding, whether it’s being filled with beautiful things or not.

Likewise, there is no end, no destination for any of us. Wetoo are always evolving, always expanding. And as the desires we summon makethemselves a part of our present awareness of reality, our vantage point on ourlives and reality changes, our quality of discernment develops, thus changingour perceptions of what we want and imbuing us with new wants, thus infusingnew desires “out” into the Universe, thus effecting the Universe’s continuedexpansion and, in turn, our continued fulfillment.

And so on, and so on.
