What is the purpose of life?

[Soul Doctor]

---

then...?

how will you know you have achieved your purpose?
is there even an end to evolution/growth?

If you've reach your goal--
If you achieved your purpose---
Like in every RPG game, you level up.

You simply die and your soul proceeds to the next level.

Wouldn't it mean a different thing if someone asked "What is your purpose in life?" as opposed to "What is the purpose of life?"

Life has no other purpose except to be. If you find purpose in life, that is life complimenting you. Is all.

This is nice. To be or not to be is the great question. However, man always proceeds as THE LAW OF CHANGE dictates his destiny.

with no purpose in mind? that's hard.
you cant just formulate states without a goal state.

um. talking AI crap again.

some of the most interesting people i know are those that don't know what to do with their day. johnnie walker's advice: keep walking. maybe you'll find your purpose along the way.

There are many purpose of our life in this earth.

It could be any or combination of these (but not limited to the list below):

1.) To accomplish a mission.
Example: Ninoy Aquino,
Ninoy Aquino knew his purpose.
He knew the moment that he returns to the Philippines, he will die.
But he also knew that this was his purpose- to save a nation.
So he did it with all his courage,
and took all the risk trusting that someone finishes the job for him.

2.) To live a life of consequence.
Example: If you are a drug addict in your previous life,
you abused your brain by taking drug for recreation purposes.
You will reicarnate as a mentally retarded person, because, as consequence
your brain aspect of your soul is taken away from you, as punishment for your abuse.

3.) To complete a cycle of Justice.
Example: If you are murdered in your previous life,
You then become a mother to the soul of your murderer.
And you are going to abort that child to fulfill what I call universal justice.
This is just to complete the cycle of justice.
If you kill, then you will be killed in the next life.
If you were killed, then you get to kill him in the next life.
Different bodies same pair of souls.

4.) To heal, after a life of punishment and hardship,
your soul needs to heal before it can go back to reincarnate to a normal life.
Example: If your soul is aborted, your next life is a healing life.
You live only a short life of healing.
You will die as a child as soon as you were able to heal your soul.
That is why some kids die young.

But, generally,
the purpose of ones life
is to use his God-given talents
to make this world a better place.

When you are capable of living in the present moment, there is no thought of meaning. You just are, and that is enough, there is no need to complicate things!
