What is the purpose of this life between birth and death?

[@gheewhiz]

i think the purpose of life is to just be what it is. if awakening arises, then yes, that was part of the purpose. if it doesn't, then it just doesn't, and apparently the purpose of that life was not to awaken. yes, let's celebrate our true nature if we are awake to it, but awakening does not always unfold in each and every one of our lifetimes.

[@kurtpiket6513]

Why does awakening not always unfold in each and every one of our lifetimes? Why there is a need for any kind of war on earth?

[@kcsnipes]

We have multiple lifetimes ? 😮

[@th4_h0ff10]

@@kurtpiket6513 ignorance is the price consciousness pays for experiencing anything other then itself. Wars are caused by ignorance. The best what we can do, for us and others, is to contribute to an collective awakening by vanishing ignorance in ourselves.

The purpose of life is to Love. Love being patience with, kindness towards, understanding of and forgiveness of others. It is best if "all things Earthly dwell lightly in your heart".

[@johnnavin4665]

The desire to 'know' the purpose of life is a projection of the deluded mind. In reality, 'purpose' is irrelevant. Everything unfolds spontaneously in the impersonal immediacy that you ever are. It is just Leela, cosmic play. Forget about purpose and relax into the Now. Being is reality. Becoming is illusion. ♥

Thank You Francis, great explanation, much appreciated!

[@user-nb4ex5zk3w]

Even saying our purpose is to find who we are... implies a future goal. For me staying in presence is not a goal... it's intention, but of behaviour ...like walking.

[@SuperNashum]

Basically no one knows for sure. We can only guess.

[@Parmeshgill]

Life is…. while the mind is framing all occurrences in Cause and effect. Things happen the mind searches for cause while in presence it just is. The contradiction and struggle is to try to understand presence thru the mind as the mind is but in presence…

[@phk2000]

All is ONE! Know this, FEEL this, BE this. The rest is just chatter for the mind (which is also the ONE appearing as chatter of course!)

[@sokoli3253]

I agree, is that simple but not that easy to know it, see it, feel it and be it.

[@phk2000]

@@sokoli3253 The universe is infinite. If it wasn’t then somewhere out there all that dark space would have to end and become something other than space. What could replace the space? Nothing could replace it so it must go on forever - hence infinity. What’s infinite has no boundaries and cannot be measured (or it wouldn’t be infinite.) Infinity doesn’t stop where “you” start - there can’t be infinity + “me.” So all there is, is infinity expressing itself in different shapes and patterns but all of those shapes and patterns never being anything other than THE TOTALITY or THE ABSOLUTE.

[@bodhiheeren]

So you are enlightened and this is your actual real life experience. Or are you just sharing some non-dual cliches?

[@irshadmarecar1644]

Feeling down to earth lol. Jokes apart, love doesn’t even have a cause… but, assuming the beloved’s priorities, it always says, so be it, instead of, let it be.

[@jahtopia347]

I think the purpose of life is to be aware of consciousness and to “know thyself” divinely.

[@kcsnipes]

what does that mean ? or what might it mean to you ?

[@DPHZH67996B]

The meaning of life is a break and a beer! 🍺

[@kurtpiket6513]

By the acceptance that there is one steady state infiniteness, by a volume wirhout a border, there is a mass präsent, which mass allows a gravitaional force by pulling or a one sided traction, attracting masses together into oneness. Inside this volume do move all bipolar organisms witrh a blalck hole inside. This black hole ist the door into infiniteness of masses.

[@ralpssss]

The child/student may not know their destiny, but the parent/teacher (God) does; hence synchronicity. Determinism fundamentally encompasses a higher guiding wisdom. After 1000's of lives we evolve to the Buddha/Jesus nature. Everyone in heaven is good to be with - If you're not good to be with how can you be in heaven. Pain pushes us in this direction then pain has done its job. "Understanding is Love's other name".

[@sokoli3253]

He’s humain, he still have projections as we all do. He was more use it like a image I think, to communicate the ultimate freedom, like a métaphore. That’s why I love Krishnamurti or Osho, they don’t use images or metaphors or at least less. Francis is good tho.

[@willieluncheonette5843]

"Life is purposeless. Don't be shocked. The whole idea of purpose is wrong - it comes out of greed. Life is a sheer joy, a playfulness, a fun, a laughter, for no purpose at all. Life is its own end, it has no other end. The moment you understand it, you have understood what meditation is all about. It is living your life joyously, playfully, totally, and with no purpose at the end, with no purpose in view, no purpose there at all. Just like small children playing on the sea beach, collecting seashells and colored stones - for what purpose? "There is no purpose at all."

[@sokoli3253]

The sun the moon and all the others planets and so on. I believe that. Because all is related and all is one. It will change state but all is eternal and infinite as conscious is, so is earth and so are we are a infinite conscious or multi-dimensional being we are, having a humain experience.
