The Universe has the goal of becoming self-aware.

"We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves"

Bill Hicks, Comedian (1961-1994)

These are some words from a song that was in the making, unfortunately, the person passed on, before they were able to release the song. “Life is such a mystery, if you only know your destiny, you would find a better way to live your life!” That is so true for many of us, life is a mystery, and the truth is none of us know what the truth is.

We can speculate we can brainstorm, but the fact of the matter is: everyone would end up with a different opinion on this subject manner. But, which one is the truth: so it will remain a guessing game, because no one has the right answer.

Based upon the Bible it was God plan for Adam, and Eve to live in the Garden of Eden forever with him. But that changed, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and listened to Satan. So, God had to send another man into the world Jesus Christ to save us from sin, and Hell, and to point the way to salvation, and the Kingdom of God.

Adam and Eve missed out on the opportunity of eternal life in the Garden of Eden with God, so with the coming of Jesus Christ we do have a second chance to eternal life in the Garden of Eden with God. What will happen, after we enter into the Garden of Eden with God, will remain a mystery to us until the day that we enter in.

But for now we can look upon this life as a gift from God, as an expression of his love for us. We should live our life for the betterment of mankind, sharing, helping, giving, supporting, loving, and fostering peace and harmony to our fellow men. One people, one nation, and one destiny. The future will be revealed, so it shall be. God is everywhere, and he is the breath that we breathe in, and out every day of our life!

Enlightened isn't a final state, nor a final purpose. It is a consciousness conjuncture for a "long-distance race's runner". Comparatively, for a sportsman, the phisical training is essential, being a long and perseverente process of creating the features for sportive activity, for achieve the performance; this is a trained sportsman. But the final purpose is to gain the competition.

For the inner universe, enlightening is also a process, but for developing those spiritual features which take the human into indispensable conditionment to co-create spiritualy. What is then the final purpose? I think it is to expanse the co-creation to the horizon. But being aware: as we go toward, the skyline shift also to the... infinite

So, the purpose of life, created by God and invested us with it, is to co-create anything, anywhere and anytime, by our freewill, into wanderful, infinite Universe.

I think God keeps evolving, growing in experiences and understanding through us and the "reports we send back home". There will be no end, just as there was no beginning. We are as drops of water in an ocean, with our own identity but part of God, and God is in us. There is no goal but to keep moving forward.

God has no goals.He is in itself the goal of us humans is to merge, become one with Him

I really don't know if you could call self contemplation of Spirit a goal. It Just Is :)

Hello LeeAnn, Here is my two cents worth.It sounds as though we are kindred spirits.Many years ago my wife at that time gave me what came to be a most treasured plack that is still on my wall today,and serves as a constant reminder of who and what I believe myself to be.It reads as follows. Just as the sea is all of the wave and the wave is a part of the sea so I am a part of god and god is all of me. This resonates with me. Don P S I was just diagnosed with bone cancer and some of my family members can't seem to understand why I am not devastated or terrified.I simply tell them that I will be just fine regardless of the outcome.I will be eighty years old tomorrow and have no fear of the transition,so if I depart I consider my work as haveing been accomplished,and if I live I look forward to further opportunity In the meantime I look forward to reading more of your thoughts as well as that of the many others who add to my understanding of the real meaning of life and our purpose for being here.Best wishes. Don

yes;

and part of it is for each of us to find it.

I think the universal consciousness is a continuous explosion of discovering what is possible.

The purpose is self-awareness and expansion and evolvement. Self-awareness is enlightenment, for when you're self-aware you are in the NOW--the present moment--and that's when we're closest to God or Universal Source and it's where your POWER lies. The Presence of God is within you at all times, and all the answers to ever need are within present moment acknowledgement. You only have to acknowledge it and wonders begin to manifest in your life...

Be encouraged. All the best!!
