Why are we here

Post by Dracula »

Why are we in the bottom of existence? To gain our souls. To ascend into a higher level of existence. Think of it this way, you are playing a video game and you have six properties of your character. Nerves muscles brain senses ghost and skin. We are gaining nerves here in the bottom of existence. Then we will gain the rest of our souls in Origin or Heaven. After that forever will begin.

The only hard part to this journey we're on is the bottom of existence. We will gain muscles etc in Origin or Heaven.

Nerves - fearlessness / toughness
Muscles - speed strength
Brain - intelligence
Senses - seeing hearing
Ghost - your existence
Skin - feeling
You are a human for a lifetime, you are your soul for eternity.

We can't get away! Everywhere I go, I'm here. Why oh why can't I ever be elsewhere?

Please don't include me in "we" because I've considered the case and I am not sure whether "I [truly] am". So this being an open question there is no need for me to consider the "why".
mankind ... must act and reason and believe; though they are not able, by their most diligent enquiry, to satisfy themselves concerning the foundation of these operations, or to remove the objections, which may be raised against them [Hume]

To ask why you need a thinking mind that's self aware then you need to develop language then have the time to sit around and come up with the question so you need agriculture so that 100% of your awake time isn't spent looking for food so all of that takes a long time to develop and all that time you exist and so to ask "why" is the wrong thing to do it's invalid and shouldn't be asked because the "why" is from before there was ever a language or even a mind to wonder such a thing.

We are the result of the complexifying aspect of a universe. The universe was created by a "mystery." This "mystery" is the source of the information that gives the universe its structure. this "mystery" has a nature, and this nature is being manifested in steps, one upon another, and this manifestation is the universe.

in the first step, there is a singularity beyond all physic comprehension. then there is subatomic plasma; subatomic plasma cools into atoms; atoms create proton-galactic clouds; these clouds produce stars; stars produce planets and moons; planets and moons produce Life; Life produces the Human Being.

We are an embodiment of the nature of the "mystery" that has created the universe. We are also the forefront of the "mystery's" manifestation. One might say: We are the Cocoon of the Butterfly of God. this is fairly accurate.

An entertaining set of analogies, but nowhere near the only (or best) one.

Because one desires, searches, to become, and conditions for it are found. And it's a very good question to always come to mind. Where does one like to go on further, right from here, and after what?
