I have only seen the 'biblical' version of this. Why ARE we here? Do you know?

We're here to figure out why we are here.

I have only seen the 'biblical' version of this. Why ARE we here? Do you know? I learned some time back that generally asking why caused me a lot of frustration. especially when I was looking for a specific answer, which I would immediately recognize as truth when it was answered for me, right? Who is going to give anyone the answer that they will say "oh...ok." The answer that you may be given as to why you are here, is then going to be accepted and POOF! life is all good, right? Not the way it generally works for me anyway...so, I am more the type to see the reasons...to listen to something that calls me...more of a spiritual sensation than any type of revelation! then that is just me... I also believe that a person will understand life backwards, and that the reasons will be clear when you learn the life lessons... so, maybe that is why...to learn the lessons. Is it more important to know why or to live with purpose?

AB - if we actually had a reason to be here, do you think we would all interpret it in the same way? Eventually the reason would get lost in the ever emerging, ever evolving flow of life.

to leave the world a little better than it was when we were born into it

Do we flow up hill or down? ever hear of uphill flow? ** always runs downhill. My father was a brick layer and he always said,"Deb, always have a plumber as a friend, they are the only ones that can make ** run up hill!!" The flow may go right through the hill. It may go around the hill. The flow may be so thick it will build up and become greater than the hill. I believe that we all have a purpose...it is not the same for each person.

if we did not have a purpose to be here, would we be here?

We are here because GOD wants us to know him and to seek him out for a relationship. I also think there are very important lessons and things GOD wants us to know. But like us, GOD wants that relationship to be true, to be real. Many of us are looking for a relationship. Dont you want that relationship (and the possible love it may produce) to be real? None of us wants a robot or a slave. We want someone to know us...to love us for who we are. Well so does GOD.

We are here to learn unconditional love.. To learn we are not separate from our creator (what ever you call that) and we are not separate from each other, we are all one. We will just keep coming back over and over to master it. Seems to be challenging for most, including me.

we are here...just because we are. No actual reason for it, we just are.
