Our ancestors 40.000 years ago probably wondered the same thing. Its one trait that makes us human.

The purpose of life is to wake up out of our conditioning and see what reality is like.

I suppose, but I see it as more of a personal question (akin to "what do you want to do with your life?") that has to do with growing up and realizing what you want in life as opposed to there being some absolute answer that applies to everyone.

Right, Our souls knows everything but our brain dont. Brain can just compute where there is an input. So the brain works out on this rule. Our souls are borderless, timeless and spaceless. It dives to experience how we human experiences. So every soul rides a body with its own purpose of experience and our body seeks its own experience in the 3D world. Everyone person have his own purpose and not forgeting to play together with other person in an act of experiencing together.

If every single person live their lives without judgement jus as it is, there will be uniformity of oness in everyone.With oneness we return to oneness of GOD.

I don't believe in a personal God for one, so you basically proved my point in that it is going to vary for each person.

I wonder...who does the judging. I understand you will say "God"...okay, but which one?

Considering the ample choices for the judgement staff...how does one pick which version of virtue to go by, unless we decide for ourselves.

Basically, it ends up being a personal choice in the end...which kinda removes the whole God thingy.

Yes, the main point is that we decide how we want to experience ourselves. Infact there is no judgements. Things are just as it is and our duality mind always have to compare right and wrong etc.. Actually right or wrong does not exist, its just it, whatever it is. We are the one the God inside us against our ego of judgements and our duality concept. Experiments done in quantum physics proves that we create our own reality and we follow and live our reality. An experiment about light travel in straight line was done in a dark box and measured and recorded by computer and camera. As human peep through the box definitely the light travel in straight line but as soon as no humans are watching the computer and the camera detects that light did not follow this rule anymore. It starts to go in any direction freely. Conclusively that we believe lights travels in straight line it happens so. In other words we create our reality.

Thanks

ROSMO, tecoyah, et al,

You all are making this all too complicated. Try using Occam's Razor (KISS: Keep it simple but elegant!).

Principle Question: (What is) The purpose of life?

(COMMENT)

The quest, as well as the statement, presupposes that there is a "purpose?" And with that "purpose" there was an intentional design to accomplish that purpose. When a mechanism is built correctly (according to its intentional design), it product is self explanatory.

Suppose something simpler:
  • Suppose that there was no intentional design.
That would mean that there is no predictable product.

This would explain why we ask the unanswerable question, and cannot come to a consensus on the answer.

There is no specific purpose for life. Life is an inevitable outcome of the cosmos.

Most Respectfully,
R

For me, the purpose of life is to ask the question, then seek the answer. If the answers to all questions were readily available to us, there would be no purpose to life.

What if you learned there was no purpose to life.
? it was just an accident of chemistry. Would it change you? Or would you create your own concept of purpose?

l love brainstorming in philosophie but it doesnt change the fact of evolution:)

I am going to try to keep this short, it is my honest opinion that it is our destiny to learn what we can in order to expand our civilization as far off into the cosmos as possible. We can ready see this happening today with NASA sending unmanned voyagers "deep" into space. There is plenty of room out there after all, a planet for every religion :). The Amish can keep Earth.

I like those answers. As for evolution, a Danish geneticist traced blue eyes to a mutation north of the Black Sea around 8,000 years ago. Many of my family are blonds, the result of another mutation. Some of us have red hair.

If my ancestors' purpose was to make more blue eyed blonds, they have done a good job.

I do too...very much. I was laughing at this:

The purpose of life is to praise our Creator. With that in mind, you'll be conscious of all the other good traits you have to possess and start looking at life more meaningfully.
