'Purpose' Articles
What is our purpose here on earth? Our purpose is what we are naturally. Among species, we are here and we are “dominant” due to our awareness. We are present to be aware in the way that humans are able, but likewise our purpose is in our relationships. We are here to be aware, and to be aware of each other and our living kin as a whole.
You are purpose. What you have to have is connection. Every bit of energy that moves through you is, or can be, filtered through your purpose. It’s why you are here.
“Purpose is what gives life a meaning.” Eyemadreamer Charles H. Perkhurst
“It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.” Hermann Hesse (German born Swiss Novelist and Poet. Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946, 1877-1962)
“Man is not born to solve the problems of the universe, but to find out what he has to do… within the limits of his comprehension.” rashaski Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German Playwright, Poet, Novelist and Dramatist. 1749-1832)
Sharing Personal Information
How well does society understand purpose? I think society has a narrow view of purpose. I agree. It sets its societal purpose according to economic need and security. Does their model allow these things, in fact? The international milieu, rather than selected cultures. There may be exceptions. Some are more effective and successful. On the whole, not very good. On average, negative. Mostly, when people think of purpose is it not more specifically “my purpose”? Yes. As we get lost in the bigger picture. Selfishness is the general rule. The selfishness has two sides. It’s just as selfish to see… Seek More
Remove Secrecy
With respect to this topic of “purpose”, would it not be beneficial to define what it is that everyone wants? I put forth that there are common needs. I would second that notion, and it’s not possible for everyone to want different things. Not literally, because we all live in the same world. I would further state that it is these intrinsic commonalities that creates “society” in the first place. We all share the same air and water. Yes, but we aren’t free to share our personal thoughts. Why is this? Say for instance, I wanted you to jump up… Seek More
Natural Authority
Natural authority. I will use the term luck, or mana. Sometimes new words are better, but unless someone has an idea, I have none and will use mana. Each of us has a mana, and times when we are acting in our mana. But we are not encouraged to seek this or reflect on this. If we discover it at all, it’s often an accident. Often people just fall into seeking us out for our personal mana. Some people heal, some people guide, some people see deeply. We each have something like this about ourselves. Some people have gifts with… Seek More
Our Purpose
The way of true love can be harsh. I think this is where we should go to further the discussion on purpose. The lover is the defender, the nurturer. One cannot love and leave be, nor can one love and objectify. To love is to be alive and embrace your connections naturally, rather than living with the delusion of “selectiveness”. But what if love distracts us from life just for a short period? How can you be distracted from living? And if it does, why does it? Memories, lies, I guess. That is not love. Memories are composite pictures, half… Seek More
You Are Purpose
Purpose is not role. Purpose cannot be exclusively defined by individuals, but must of necessity include the individual, and purpose for the most part is not well established by traditional views at all, with some exceptions. Your purpose is not defined by yourself exclusively, but it does include your thoughts and feelings, and purpose is not defined by memory but can be obscured by it. Purpose is not defined by arbitrary groups, but it has as part of its essence your relationships. A group cannot give you your purpose, but you can share your purpose with a group. Would purpose… Seek More
Collective Purpose
It’s said there are only six degrees of separation between any two people. Even if this isn’t literally true, it raises a point. Reality is a vast web of relationships, but we don’t all relate to everything the same. We aren’t supposed to. It is not our purpose. Some things we are connected to in a primary way, and other things we relate to second hand. This is natural and it isn’t wise or “holy” to resist this. While some things might be in my primary experience, for you it may be second hand, and part of my purpose is… Seek More
Dark Purpose
Dark purpose. Many people think that maybe they might have one. Most people are actually deluded. I will define it, but first the big picture. Most people (and most living things in general) have a life centered purpose, and this is best served if they can live together and in peace. Sharing between each other and working to enable further life and prosperity for all living things. Is it fair to say that this is true for most people? It is a beautiful picture, is it not? Much to be desired. Now, many misanthropic individuals just avow that their place… Seek More
Purpose Is Home
With purpose being in ourselves, why do people keep looking “beyond” for purpose? They aren’t looking beyond for purpose. They all, at least subconsciously, know this won’t work. They are looking beyond for permission. It’s better to make a mistake and correct it than ask permission. Let’s look at the “invisible” side of purpose, unspoken purpose, and then I think we can bring it into the light. People have a very strange and pointlessly destructive belief. We all know of it, and likely subscribe to it to some degree. The belief is in accidents. Anyone believe in accidents? And if… Seek More
Living Purpose
I will feel like I served my purpose if you, my friends, can share your own. You don’t have to have it down to a formula. If anything, you will have more of the truth if it isn’t a formula. Life doesn’t work by formulas. Words aren’t my purpose, but building is. Thank you. Words aren’t actually my purpose either, but given time and contact anyone might come to see my purpose. It’s dimly reflected when people say I “blow their mind”. I can do that in a lot of ways, but everyone can do their purpose in a lot… Seek More
