Since time immemorial man has wondered as to the purpose of his existence and its relation to reality. We as humans, sentient beings capable of higher thought are born with an intense desire to discover and understand the nature of reality and our place within it. The great philosophers of ancient Greece, the wise men of the orient and the elders of the tribes of Africa have all wrestled with these questions each group coming up with their own answer, appropriate for their time.
With the arrival of quantum physics, we are now able to observe, and analyses physical systems at an atomic level with staggering revelations which we are only beginning to understand, the effect of mind on matter as seen in the double split experiment being just one of them. Despite these scientific breakthroughs we are unable to answer the golden question “why” We have come up with complex mathematical equations to explain natural phenomena, equations that often times have little or no basis in reality. Perhaps it is time we look back to the ancients for guidance.
There probably is an underlying purpose to existence, a method to the madness so to speak, but from an anthropocentric perspective maybe life’s purpose can only be discovered by living it. The universe is alive, breathing and eternal, any attempt to understand it/he/she through logical thinking alone is fallacious. The universe expresses duality in all things and as such its nature cannot be exempt. Though it may operate partially on precise laws, there is always an unpredictability principle at play. Imagine gaseous expansion within a container. It is easy to predict that the gas will expand in all directions but nearly impossible to predict the movement of a single atom within the gas.
Understanding the nature of the universe will require much more than just advancements in material science, it will require a quantum leap in thinking. This is because the universe at its foundation is immaterial, mind before matter. It has been noted recently that objects once thought to be solid are actually full of empty space, the illusion of solidity is generated by an energy field inherent to all physical objects. The atoms which constitute all matter are in fact 99% empty. In addition to this the nucleus of the atoms traditionally known to contain protons and neutrons has been further subdivided into six different sub atomic particles and I predict further sub-divisions in the future. Wavicles, energy constructs capable of alternating form between a classic particle and waveform are now the dominating theory.
Now that it is known that waves can be condensed into matter and vice versa, It should be easier to entertain the beliefs of the ancients who thousands of years ago understood that all matter comes forth from the realm of spirit, an ethereal plane finer than gases. These ancient people through psychonautic expeditions and a healthy dose of critical thinking had reached a profound truth of which we are only beginning to understand.
So, what is the purpose of man existence? to say something has a purpose is to say its exists to fulfill a function given by something greater than itself and this is true for man to an extent. We were created to act as nodes of experience that is to act as vessels through which certain events and activities may be experienced by Universal mind, in this capacity we may be seen as mere instruments. However, to fulfill this purpose, we also carry within us the divine spark, we are children of God to use Christian terminology and as such we are inheritors of he’s or her power and can act in a sovereign capacity as well. Here duality expresses itself again, the duality of sovereign and slave, pre-destiny and freewill.
In the end life is what you make it, it all up to you really, there is no wrong way to live your life, each experience is unique and precious to the universal mind. No one is useless and nothing is useless. Whether you choose to direct your life, or decide to live that to someone else is completely your choice and is completely fine. So, what is the purpose of life? well YOU ARE ALREADY LIVING IT!
