THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

You have a unique purpose for being alive at this particular time
and in the place where you are. You can know the purpose of your
life and the reason why you are alive.

Purpose defined
Purpose is the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. The essence of purpose is intention. An example that captures the meaning of purpose and intention: "The purpose/intention of the meeting is to elect officers."

The unique purpose of your life
Every person is unique. This is to say, every person is different. Yet, as the saying goes, "People are more alike than they are different." Every person is a member of the human species, i.e., of the human race. Unlike other creatures, each human being has in common with every other human being a soul. That alone, in essence, makes every human being like every other human being. This is true even though one person may behave differently from another person. Human beings have an expansive capacity which allows them to behave along the behavior-continuum from the lowest low, as the scum of the earth, to the highest high, angelically and divinely. Human potential allows a person to be "how like the Devil" or "how like God," This is man alive.

The purpose of life framed
Simply and succinctly, the purpose of life can be stated in this manner:
1. to discover yourself and find out who you are.
2. to grow and evolve in a spiral-like fashion (continually   moving toward the apex of one's  potential.)
3. to serve others and one's self, not as a servant but as  a friend.
4. to practice community, having essentials in common and doing what you do with compassion, love and together.
5. to commune with God by expressing your endowed divinity.

Having this five-fold way of being as the focus enables you to live out the purpose for which you were created and not only justify but fulffill the reason for your existence. Conversely, a failure to execute these directives indicates that you have forfeitured your right to be alive or live in victory. And you demonstate that what the Creator meant for grace, in your life has become a disgrace.

Each day embrace this five-fold object-attraction. Because you are living in consciousness there is surrender, not striving; flowing, not struggling. With commitment to this practice you will learn more about yourself, personal growth, serving others and yourself, the practice of community and communing with God. This amounts to living the purpose of your life.

It is for this purpose that you exist at this time and in this place. As a transcendent being, i.e., a soul being, you are not bound to or controlled by cause and effect but directed by the Spirit.

What is the purpose of your life? Ultimately, the purpose of your life is to live the purpose of your life.
