Purpose of life

The purpose of life is life itself; to carry the life force for which we are but a vessel; to reproduce, to create a new vessel that will carry forward the life force. Moreover, as humans, this life presents a unique opportunity to achieve eternal life. Eternal life is the life force that has been here forever and will be here forever. To attain eternal life, the individual must identify with the life force; not the individual life that is finite, the vessel of the ego which dies when the body dies. When the individual and the life force are one, the individual identifies with all that is manifest. This makes “the golden rule” not a rule but the way one lives; treating others as oneself because others and self are one.

roundabout

Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
all we are is dust
but the world was created for us
