The purpose of life

[Aakash]

The purpose of life is to give birth to yourself an infinite number of times until you actualise yourself to find out the answer what am i?. 

When you actualise yourself however, are you a duality or a non duality is the first question you ask yourself. 

In other words you need to figure out am i everything or am i nothing. BECAUSE ........

If i choose to be everything then, what does that make me?

if i choose to be nothing then, will i remember who i am?  

what is everything? all possible things knowing about myself

what is nothing? all possible things without knowing about myself 

Solution: play out both sides until all possible scenarios have been played out, but i still don't know what i'm actually trying to do though... 

Am i trying to actualise myself for a purpose ?

what would i do if i actualised myself in the first place? 

I am infinite already ... 

Solution: i split myself up into segments with no purpose what so ever. 

what do these segments do ? 

these segments a) must have form b) be able to uphold the form c) change forms d) reproduce the same form 

but my ultimate quest is to know whether i should be everything or nothing 

so what should i do next? 

I know ... what would these forms choose if they had this choice 

choice? 

there is no choice, i must create an illusion of choice! but how? 

well choice implies only two minimum options

option 1) 

option 2) 

then i must create a resonation system 

ill call it energy to which do you resonate with that will be the portion representationally of option 1: option 2 

 

 

:-) i gave up after this point, my brain was hurting, let me know if anyone managed to make some heads or tails out of any of this lol!

It's really simple. Here are the purposes of life:

1. Raise your consciousness.
2. Raise your capacity to love.
3. Take in the beauty of life.
4. To feel alive! To not have a single day where you're just going through the motions. The key to this is to bring consciousness into every task, even the most mundane.

@Mikael89

Are you trying to become the most politically correct non-dualist in the history of this spirituality business?

@Preetom Yes. Someone has to be correct.

Are you getting the security you crave from this attempt to be correct? How is this strategy flying so far?

@Preetom No. I don't need security. The real Me is beyond all such stuff.

Good for you!

But is there anything other than the real You? what is that?

@Preetom No there isn't.

But if I'm not enlightened then there is maya and samsara.

How can that be? How can something be simultaneously existent and non-existent? 

How are you holding up this contradictory knowledge? doublethink?

@Preetom I don't know.

How can you defend that absolute political correctness if you don't know something? Mustn't you know?

@Preetom I know something.

What is it that you know for certain?

The purpose of life is to create purpose.

No two are the same. Yet they are One.

An infinite range of expressions; all pointing to themselves.

@Preetom That Consciousness is immortal and is All, of course.

Cool. Is there anything else you know for certain?

@Preetom What else should I know for certain?

Its not about what you should or should not know.

I was asking if you know anything else for certain right now.

i recall having read this and also understood during one of my sessions that any statement / principle which is self-cancelling is complete / TRUE

 

for example about this thread with the purpose of life:

there is no purpose / meaning / lesson in life

 

but then what about that statement itself?

so it is self-cancelling.

what is the main lesson in life? there are no lessons... but "there are no lessons" is also a lesson. paradox. self-cancelling. 

life is meaningless = infinitely meaningful = assign whatever meaning to it and it will make sense should you believe it.
