Who am I? Why do I exist in this vast world, and what is the purpose of it all? I have asked myself these questions many times and sought answers to them.
I am aware that each of us can identify different reasons propelling our lives forward. However, from a spiritual point of view, we all came into this world with one universal purpose. I am talking about EVOLUTION - a phenomenon that leads to development, expanding of consciousness, and filling it with wisdom, love, and inner peace. Each of us is a spiritual being who came to Earth and incarnated into human form to experience spiritual evolution in the world of matter. The goal of human life is to gain wisdom through experiences that teach universal truths. The entire Universe is based on these truths. Initially, this may sound very lofty or improbable, but ultimately, that is the truth. One could say that the entire Universe is a Great Organism, Unity, Father, Mother - and we are its children. Everything that exists in the Universe has the potential to teach us something useful on the path of evolution (spiritual development). Even things that may seem unrelated to spiritual development often contain hidden metaphors that prove helpful in understanding spiritual matters.
An example could be chemistry (science). How can chemistry teach us something about spirituality? Well, when discussing chemistry, it's hard not to mention a phenomenon like chemical bonding. Elements with an unbalanced (unstable) number of electrons form bonds with each other by sharing energy. They do this to stabilise themselves energetically. However, there are elements that don't need to form such bonds because they already have a 'stable' number of electrons - these are the so-called noble gases. A special characteristic of these gases is that they form larger groups and undergo activation, leading to the emission of light. Examples of such gases are neon, argon, and radon. Each of these gases emits light in different colors, and we use them to create neon lights. Can't you see an allegory here to karmic relationships, where two people with unstable energies enter into such a relationship to achieve mutual balance? Do you notice that an 'enlightened' person is someone with balanced energy who can emit high vibrations? Throughout the world, we can find numerous allegories and metaphors that hint and guide us on the path of development. Perhaps if we looked at cells and how they created a harmoniously functioning organism, we would learn how to unite as humanity. What is Earth for us? What is the Universe for us? We can view this from an infinite number of perspectives, but I'll share with you two that I particularly like to contemplate.
The first perspective states that the Universe is an educational system, and Earth is a spiritual "school," an opportunity for growth in love, peace, and wisdom. In this spiritual school, destiny or fate is seen as a curriculum or teaching program. Each person comes to Earth with a specific schedule, classes, and subjects to work on. Some of these subjects are present throughout generations of Earthlings, while a larger part is more personal. Every life is unique and contains different lessons to go through. Destiny is an educational construct ensuring that established lessons are learned – hence certain life situations must occur, and they cannot be avoided. Anything beyond our destiny falls under our free will – in this realm, we can decide, choose, and follow various paths, exploring the Earthly School. Each life experience carries the potential for learning, an opportunity to discover something about oneself and life. It's valuable to ask questions like: "What is life trying to teach me now? What am I not seeing about myself? Why is this happening to me?" Every life experience is a lesson – an opportunity for development.
The second perspective is that the Universe resembles a game. It is one of many places (worlds) where spiritual beings come, embodying themselves in characters they create. The Universe we are currently in is based on the energy of Love, and the goal of the entire game is to achieve full Divine Love energy. This is done by entering specific "levels" and gaining experiences (wisdom) that help us develop our character. In this way, we acquire new abilities and possibilities. Destiny, in this version, is the storyline of a particular level where we undertake missions and tests that increase our level.
No matter what point of view we look at, the Universe is a place of learning and we come to Earth for spiritual development and evolution. This is the main purpose of life.
