"You are here in the world for very specific reasons. They are not your personal reasons. You are here to contribute to and participate in a greater order of reality that exists within the world and beyond the world and even beyond the physical manifestation of life." "Purpose is a process; it is not a definition. It is not a validation. It is not a form of self-comfort. It is something that awaits you. It is a great journey." "The world is a hungry and lonely place. It is full of fantasy and folly. Its suffering is profound. Its confusion is deep. Its violence is sickening. Its possibilities are great. Who can see these things but those who realize that they have come from beyond the world to give something? They realize this because it is something they can feel. It is not an emotion." "If they stay with this (experience), then Knowledge will slowly germinate within them, and their perception and understanding of things will change. Their awareness of the mystery of life will grow more and more profound, and their ability in life--in their relationships, in their career, in all their activities-- will deepen. This is purpose. At some point they will give themselves to something that involves other people in service to the world, according to their nature and their design. It will be natural for them to give themselves in this way, as it would be unnatural for them to decline it. This is purpose." "It washes away that which is nonessential in you and reveals that which is permanent and meaningful." (quotes/excerpts from Greater Community Spirituality, Marshall Vian Summers, New Message org)

I took a Theory of Computation course for my CS degree. At first I didn't understand why we had to learn about abstract machines that don't exist in the real world, like Finite Automata and Pushdown Automata. Then we got to a chapter where the professor explained how a Turing Machine can simulate another Turing Machine, and how this nested simulation could continue ad infinitum (ignoring restrictions on time and space). Much like how a Windows OS can run a VirtualBox image of a Linux OS, or how a compiler like gcc or clang can translate C/C++ code into machine code. That's when it dawned upon me why Turing Machines are said to be the theoretical inspiration for a modern computer, and that I had been studying abstractions upon abstractions for the entire duration of my degree. Sometimes the theory seems dull, but if you read it a couple of times to really try to understand it, you might find a beautiful pattern emerge.

The purpose of life is to achieve a semblance of fulfillment. It's hard to that in a world fixated on exchanging your short time on Earth for money. It's not that people want all the money in the world to feel happy, they want the freedom money buys to find that fulfillment. No one will look back on their life, or on their death bed, and wish they worked more hours or worked more jobs or accomplished more accolades for the sake of accolades.

We cannot discover something we have already ruled out in our own minds. Even if you're 99% sure on something, leave that 1% open or you may not see the answer when it does finally appear. If we say meaning can't be found or known, we are certain to never find it.

This is quite a long-winded non-answer and shows the inability of specialists to see the big picture. The answer, a take-away from Dr. Frankl's book about the subject, is that the meaning of life is the search for more meaning. Whatever meaning you have today is okay and if you're growing, meaning will almost certainly change and be fuller tomorrow.

A more interesting question is whether we came from something or nothing. Either all of this came from something or it came from nothing, there is no other possibility. If it came from something, then it means that there has never been nothing-that all of this has no origin because there has always been something. Conversely, if it did come from nothing, then we must reason with the fact that something came from nothing. What's most interesting is that both are seemingly impossible but one must be true.
