If one had to synthesise the purpose of life in a single phrase, that might be ‘to know thyself’.
As eternal souls, we may know everything there is to know from within the spiritual realm, but this physical journey we call life, is about experiencing who we are from within the magical opportunity of it being, so to speak, the ‘first time’, thanks to the amnesia we go through at birth.
In the same way that you only know what you’re made of when you are put to the test, life is a continuous test for our souls to not only ‘know’, but to feel and experience that which we are.
I only know that I’m strong because I overcame pain, I only know that I am compassionate because I forgave those that wronged me, I only know that I am empathetic because I have cried for someone else’s pain. In the same way, life is giving our souls the chance to experience the many aspects of who we are in a physical, sentient, fascinatingly magical way.
The more you ‘know thyself’, the more you will understand you are not only your physical expression. And the more you understand that you are so much more, the easier the physical experience will become.
Once you finally grasp the purpose of it all, the less resistance you will create to what is meant to be and the sooner you will start to cooperate with your greater being, in achieving the set of experiences you signed up for, before you came.
This wonderful universe was created to give us the chance to know ourselves from every possible angle imaginable and in doing so, we give the Creator the chance to experience the magic of life through each and everyone of us.
Life is a cooperative process of giving and receiving, of knowing and experiencing, but above all it’s a chance to become the most faithful expression of who you truly are.
Once we all do this, our individual uniqueness will finally come together in the giant, collective puzzle of reality we form and we will then, finally, know unity.
