Not long ago, I was meditating on the purpose of this life experience. All my studies point in the same direction: We are here to remember Who We Are. That didn’t entirely make sense. I wanted to know why we would need an experience whereby we would agree to forget just so we could remember. Most experts have said things like, “Life is a game” or this experience is so we can grow. These too were unsatisfying to me. Why, if we are One with All That Is, would there be any need to grow? How can what is Omniscient and Omnipotent NEED anything? So I meditated, pondered and asked. The answer was so obvious that I cannot believe in all my reading I have not come across it anywhere.
The entire reason we exist, the absolute meaning of life is Love.
Okay, okay. Let me explain. Forget all the ideas you have about God for a moment and think of God as nothing but an energy of Love. There is no solidity to this energy. It has no motive other than to be itself and the only possible thing it can be is Love. This love is pulsating, alive and ever expanding and we are the result of that expansion. But we don’t exactly look like this energy that has no form, right? Right. Love, doing what it does by being loving and expanding, became material form and did so in a way that It would temporarily forget Who It Is so that It had this expanded way to do more of what It does, Love. There was no need for It to grow or learn. It is here in the shape of humanity to do the only thing It can do. It is Being Love. Now all of this sounds nice and resonates beautifully with this life experience, but what the heck does it have to do with day to day life and challenges? I’ll tell you.
More and more I am coming to know how true it is that Love is the entirety of what God is, thinks and does. And more personally, that the more we give ourselves over to that same pursuit, releasing our hold on anything and everything that is not Love, the more freedom we will experience and more Love we will see.
