I’ve contacted a highly recommended shaman guide that can enter the realms, speak to the “teachers, masters and guides” to open the archives of the souls of the universe. Most people ask the lords of the records “what is my purpose” or what is the meaning of this existence? Everybody on earth has a spiritual clan and a guide (teacher) that can be approached by those here who are attuned to those frequencies.
I don’t really feel a need to find purpose. In fact I have really no spiritual, purpose inklings at all. But since I learned I have been recycled, re-purposed, and have been on this similar journey for many cycles to enhance my real life after this one, I am intrigued what it all means. What then, should I ask the Akashic Records of the knowledge of my soul? I need some ideas. I was told I can’t ask “when” questions as they will not be answered. That leaves how, what, why, and where, which I think is sufficient. What could I ask, or what would you ask for the betterment of mankind if you had a few minutes to peek into our final destination to find or focus on a higher purpose?

Quote: “what would you ask for the betterment of mankind if you had a few minutes to peek into our final destination to find or focus on a higher purpose?” Great question, Jim, one which I have already asked, and answered, since as my Teachers would constantly remind me, if you know how to ask the question, you know the answer. I have my answer, amply stated in various ways on my own blog… the challenge, the real challenge, is for each individual to ask that question and to answer it for her/himself. No need to compare it with anyone else’s, it stands on its own. On the long stretch though, each answer will become a proper part of the whole, each blend into a working whole for humankind. The Teachers are correct: never ask when since ‘when’ is linked to time and time is an artificial construct that is meaningless to the aware mind.

I’ve never understood how we decided that certain words are somehow vulgar even though all they do is represent perfectly ordinary concepts. The word “fuck” is simply another term for a normal biological process, sexual intercourse. I can say sexual intercourse or one of the various euphemisms we’ve come up with for the act, in polite company and no one will chastise me, but if I say fuck, well, I’ll get dirty looks, people will wince, even express displeasure with my saying the word. So, well, sexual intercourse them and the horse they rode in on.

Here’s a question for you, Jim. Is atheism a product of sleeping 4 or less hours a night. When I was forced to believe, I was also forced to sleep at least 8 hours a night. As I grew up and started sleeping less, like 4 hours a night max, my atheism increased. Most of my “adult” years it was 4 hours a night.Now, in my dotage, I cannot remember when I went to sleep, so I have no idea how long I sleep. I think I am still an atheist, too.

Shelldigger,
I often play with words. I think it is another one of the many, many things Dad taught me. I still remember when we moved from southern Wisconsin to SoCal in the spring of 1959 how he mispronounced many of the Spanish words on purpose. He was testing me to see if I had learned the correct pronunciation. So, in ‘mixed company’ or as they say here in central Looseyannie “polite company”, I’d probably say “how come people are so stucking fupid. It may result in fewer blood shed and even generate a laugh or three.

OK, for the sake of trying (note I said trying) to be polite now. IF I came across an “all powerful” being/critter, I might ask what was it all for? Why is there the entire universe and what is the true purpose of it all? Me, I just enjoy looking up at all the stars, many of which we now know are actually entire galaxies and not just stars.
According to some estimates by really smart astronomers/cosmologists, there are billions of galaxies and no doubt trillions of stars out there, why? Yes, I do prefer cats above other critters and “they” tell me, even now that “curiosity killed the cat”. Ah yes, that tired old garbage. My dear departed former wife used to reply that while curiosity may have killed kitty, satisfaction brought him/her back to life. So, there ya go Jim, a possible suggestion for you.

You’re in a good place, not needing a purpose. Apparently, there really is no purpose, except that which we give it. Maybe life is an opportunity to give a purpose.

All enlightened masters have discovered that.

the nature of consciousness is your answer as to ‘why’- that is its nature, to exist, to be. that is just what it does. yes, good and bad, moral/ sinful, are labels humans put on things which are otherwise without qualifications. this tendency creates the dualism that makes us suffer. but we are not pawns of consciousness, our nature is pure consciousness, not just physical. we are only pawns when we are not aware of this, and let ourselves be ruled by uncontrolled thoughts. thought is a ‘vehicle’ for consciousness, that’s why it’s so powerful. it creates reality, and even matter.
but consciousness is so subtle, most subtle essence of the universe, that it is hard, tricky rather, to grasp. because you already are it.

But the bigger picture of purpose in a universe even existing at all, has always held a fascination for me. But the quantum world will only give a “how”, not a why.
I suspect there is no “why”, but just a “because.”
We look for too much meaning, I think. I heard a story about a professor of philosophy on the final exams passed out the test. On the paper was a simple word “why.”

At this stage in my life, I don’t really feel a need to find purpose either. That might change later though. Many people who believe in a ‘purpose’ are those who had it forced upon them from some religion. They didn’t find it themselves, they were simply told it was their way or the highway. When people leave religion, many try to replace what religion claimed to bring them, hence the search for a ‘purpose’.

Why should I waste my life trying to prove myself to an unknowable being and hope I did everything just right in order to fulfill my purpose?

I don’t really see a downside to a life that has happiness as its goal. Striving to please a god who has yet to show up and reveal that they exist seems rather foolish. And if that god does exist, would they really object to you doing what makes you happy? What kind of loving god would do that? What kind of loving god would tell you that what makes you happy is sinful?
Could there be an afterlife? I suppose it’s possible. Could reincarnation be a real thing? Maybe, but who knows? There is but one life guaranteed and it’s the one we are living right now. I think it’s time we start focusing on the one known existence and stop detracting from it by wasting our time on the unknown. If God is real and wants to correct us, he’ll know right where to find us. However, having a god who has hidden from man since man first came into existence would suggest that’s not likely to happen.
