What is you purpose in life - in the absence of a God?

By: aforcier | posted on: April 16, 2009 | in: A natural meaning to your life.

(Revised July 2011)

You exist in a self-creating nature-universe-source.

The “Source” is infinite.

As it is everywhere, everywhere – is its center. All form that exists within it, exists at its center. You are a center at the center of the “Source”.

Like all centers, your center holds within its core all of the forces of the universe. Using these forces, your primary function is to sustain yourself in existence. (To take a deep breaths – and to think)

Your - being/center/form - is composed of a mind (a data processing unit) made of senses which expand into a body (substance) and a consciousness/ soul (essence).

With the senses of the body, you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch the universe around you. Then with your senses of consciousnesses/ soul, you are conscious of - and learn the ways – of your inner “self”. With body and “soul”, you map your own space, the world around you, and the vast universe; you make plans, you formulate desires, you act.

Using your senses of body and of soul, you walk among the many forms of the world. This is existence.

As a center you are “potentiality”… in a human form. Your function is not only to survive but to bring into form (to create) other centers. You are a form performing a cosmic dance. A dance of the self. A dance of the many. A step at a time. A thought at a time. A dream at a time.

In you is written the way to access the “Source’s” potentiality. You can, within nature-universe-source, be a follower, a leader, an originator of forms and of ideas.

Every moment you design your accomplishments – from small to large. From doing very little to accomplishing a lot. From taking care of your cat to saving the planet.

As you reflect… as you absorb… as you define… as you plan… as you participate… as you dream… as you do… you receive meaning.

Natural consciousness, once awaken, is limitless.
