What is the Purpose of Life?

Randi G. Fine | Life As A Human

Every one of us has pondered the purpose of life; why we are born, why we struggle, and what happens after we die. If we fail to dig deeper, life will not make sense, it will have no meaning. Are we just tiny meaningless entities in the universe who die and then are recycled into the earth without leaving a trace?

I believe that there is a greater plan for everything that has or will ever exist. As in many other instances of analysis we must always look at the bigger picture. Over time I have taken aspects of others’ theories and put them together. Now I will share my perspective and paint that picture for you.

The concepts I share have been supported by a wide variety of credible sources, more than I could begin to cite in this article. I have been enlightened by the opinions of others, but I do not give credence to their theories simply because they have affirmed their beliefs. I give credence to their theories because, after much contemplation, they make sense to me.

Many people have had glimpses into the after-life, but ultimately the purpose of life is a mystery that cannot be fully comprehended until we pass from this earth and experience what comes next for us.

I believe that we are the physical manifestation of evolving souls—spiritual beings living a human experience. Our souls progress through what we experience while in our physical bodies. Those progressions take us through a series of spiritual growth levels—the ultimate goal being convergence with the infinite light.

In its search for growth every soul incarnates at least one time to experience life. Some souls choose to repeatedly come back to earth school.

Before incarnating we outline the lessons our souls need to experience for their ongoing spiritual evolutions. We contract with other souls to share cooperative physical journeys; they assist us and we assist them in our learning processes.

Our soul’s primary focus is the facilitation of its spiritual growth. We come here to work things out; to grow through challenges and rise above adversity.

The more difficult the challenges faced in the physical world are and the more hurdles are jumped, the more rapid one’s spiritual growth will be. Though adversity involves suffering and hardship and is certainly undesirable, it is only a catalyst put before us to help us grow.

There is no suffering or adversity in the blissful, spiritual realm, the home where we spend most of eternity. Because we make the decision to face adversity while existing in a place of serenity and cannot remember how incredibly difficult life as a human may be, our souls may sometimes take on extremely difficult challenges.

Though the goal is to rise above our challenges, sometimes they are humanly insurmountable, but the effort put forth to overcome them is never wasted.
