Why Am I Here?

You look like you are in a deep thought.

Nah. I’m just listening to Amethystium’s Ethereal song while trying to observe the ‘life’ around. Made me ask, what really is the purpose of life? Why am I here?

You forgot?

Did I know?

Yeah. You do know. You are just so preoccupied with your physical reality that you have forgotten WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

Hmmm. You lost me there.

You are not your body. I hope you still remember that. Your body is just a physical manifestation of your thoughts and feelings. You create your body as you create your own reality.

I’m still not getting you. But, go on.

There is a consciousness within you. And it is the consciousness of your soul. Your soul is part of a greater whole, which also has its own consciousness. It is a collective consciousness. It is Universal. Your soul is part of it as it is part of you.

It is just like what Jesus said, that I am in you and you are in me, or something like that, right?

Indeed. To put it in another analogy, the Universal Consciousness is like your mind and body. It has its own consciousness but it is also ‘built up’ of other consciousness and ‘bodies’. Your cells, for example, they are driven by their own individual consciousness doing things ‘automatically’, while your mind is not even directing their actions. And because of this collective consciousness it forms the whole physical body.  

Got it. But does that explain my purpose in life?

This Universal Consciousness is always in a state of becoming. It is ever expanding. It continues to grow through the never ending experiences it gain from itself and through the individual consciousness, that which you are one of. Your physical reality is just one of the outlets that which the Universal Consciousness can grow. There are other realities aside from the reality that you are into right now.

Whoah! You mean, there are other realities out there?

Multitudes of realities. Your consciousness can shift from one reality to the other. When you are dreaming, you are shifting your consciousness to another reality which is equally real and as vivid as your physical reality. Even if you are awake, that ‘dream reality’ continues to ‘live’. It does not stop when you are awake. It remains in motion as well as any other reality that you have. But because you are so focused on your physical reality, you ‘lost contact’ with your other realities. Your dream reality is just one of them.

So how can I get in touch with my other realities then?

There are many ways to 'reconnect'. One is by recognizing that your physical reality is just one of the other realities. We can talk about this some other time since we have to answer your primary question, ‘why are you here?’.

Okay, so why am I here then?

Your soul is here to experience the joy, love, and peace of which it can express through many realities including your physical reality. You are not here to pay your ‘karmic debt’ which you might think you have acquired from your past lives. Yes. You have been in many lives as you are now through your other realities. You have with you immense knowledge and experiences from these lives that you are taking part of.  You are not here to redeem your soul in the after life, for you have never been condemned. In death, your physical body may degenerate but your soul will continue to live on for it is eternal. Your soul will then reassess its experiences as it adds up to the vast knowledge and wisdom that it has gained as it contributes to the unending expansion of the Universal Consciousness. Your soul will then plan out its next adventure and may choose to be reborn.

Oh man! That’s a lot to digest. But it is slowly making sense now. 

As what your other teacher (Seth) has said,

"You are here to aid in the great expansion of consciousness. You are not here to cry about the miseries of the human condition, but to change them when you find them not to your liking through the joy, strength and vitality that is within you; to create the spirit as faithfully and as beautifully as you can in flesh."

Namaste.
