The purpose of Life Purpose is to align as much of your being as possible?

[Lucasxp64]

This is how I'm looking at it.

What do I mean by that: The purpose of Life Purpose is to align yourself and remove inner conflicts/friction, with AT LEAST the purpose of meeting your basic needs. And one of our needs is to have an aim to look for.

To align our whole lives, our habits, environment, relationships, desires, interests, aversions, etc.

Akin to a spiritual process (but not quite)

Life Purpose is more of an alignment of what you'll do with yourself in Samsara, in Maya, in The World, in how you will build/align your EGO, as opposed to deconstructing it and having nothing to do with it.

Why do you think one of the goals of many spiritual masters is to simply teach and pass it forward? They have to rebuild their ego somehow.

It's like an AI system that has a broken reward function, and keeps spitting just probabilistic text completion (i.e.: GPT-3), we aligned them towards conversational format, and they spontaneously emerged with useful general intelligence (ChatGPT). In which, we can solve tasks with a single prompt, as opposed to having to do black magic to make it do anything useful.

All of that happened with the SAME architecture. And now, with even LESS parameters, even less "capability" it's still capable of out-performing just text-completion models.

Just the same way for a person, someone completely all over the place needs all sorts of shenanigans to even get anything done, they need to get their "committee of the mind"  completely on-board, and it's a massively expensive and complex process to be done EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY FROM SCRATCH, because you KEEP LOSING MOMENTUM, because it's not BAKED INTO YOUR MIND, BEING, ENVIRONMENT and RELATIONSHIPS.

It's like the old crappy Large Language Models like GPT-3, you had to waste a ton of your precious tokens/text/prompt window just PREPARING IT for the INSTRUCTION TO COME. Even if that instruction was to "Calculate 5 + 5 ". You had to give it EVER SINGLE TIME a whole paragraph of examples. But now it comes without extra effort and less processing power, and it can do more.

They are EXTREMELY INEFFICIENT, just because their training was misaligned. In other words, their VALUES were misaligned. The things they feed their minds are misaligned. They are feeding their minds and spending their days filled with garbage.

What will their minds output? Garbage.

No wonder, people without even the most basic guiding principles can't even get a handle on their basic psychology.

Of course, if you lack the material environment, or lack of enough "compute power"

i.e.: You're distracted by internal or external causes, emotionally unstable, poor health, self-caused ADHD through engaging in highly dopaminergic activities, etc.

It will become much harder to retrain and align yourself, but once you're slowly building leverage, getting through certain milestones, at some point it stops becoming a black hole sink of time, effort and energy, and it is becoming a virtuous positive cycle, where you are even GETTING PAID TO SHARPEN YOUR SWORD.

Like training an AI to train another AI system that's more lightweight and takes less resources and can output more useful stuff than an old, misaligned and inefficient model.

Essentially, to evolve is to train yourself to train the next version of yourself. And then, to let go of that previous version, and let its capabilities only exist in a latent, weaker form, that gets triggered contextually, as opposed as by default.

That version of you right now that consumes this personal development content too often must not stay the default version (or the even earlier version, that consumes just porn and games), this version of you full of just fucking theories. Use that to train the new version, it should assume the default, and you use whatever means necessary to do so. Go all in, go with your whole arsenal. Use as much alignment as possible, as lightweight as possible, as streamlined as possible. You absolutely need it all, and more. You're too misaligned right now.

I don't just mean this in the Life Purpose sense, but also in the spiritual sense. The reason you've not reached nirvana is that, you are too full, your resources are wasted towards a multitude of directions that never builds up on itself, like a mere source of light spreading out its light as electromagnetic radiation towards all directions and becoming part of the universe.

You're supposed to concentrate your energy, not spread it. If you spread it, it becomes part of this amorphous field of background radiation of the universe.

Once it's concentrated, it's of better use and good to the universe.

It's like if planets never formed, and matter was just spaced equally in a big blob, essentially, just emptiness because the universe is so large, and you're so tiny.

You should fight against that entropy. Otherwise, you will keep being just wallpaper, just a battery for the matrix, just a chunk of matter lying around, being tossed around... Never reaching critical mass towards an atomic explosion. A rocket that never reaches escape velocity, it never reaches space no matter how much energy it wastes.
