Unsolvable Mistery: Why are we here?
We born, live and learn and then die.

We were few, then we were more, now we are too many and soon we will be less, on our way to extinction either by war, diseases or technology.

We feared natural events, then we choose to fear false gods, then we learned about God and to fear him, then we feared the ones with power while abandoning God, then we will awaken and fear ourselves and then, we will fear our "replacements".

We thought little, then we learned to think more, then we started to think we overdid thinking, then we started to think less and less, then we woun't think no more.

All these phases happened at shortening lapses of time: first 200,000 years, then 2,000 years, then 200 years and now we have 20 years. Every major change in our culture is reflexed in those lapses. It's almost a logarithmic scale.

So, why are we here? To trascend or to cease as a failed specie?

Isn't it a mystery? The future doesn't need us, it seems.

So, why are we here?

We are here because we are in the process of evolving into something higher.

The human being as it were, is just a transitory phase of evolution for Gaia. We are surrogates of her perception.

Re: Unsolvable Mistery: Why are we here?
You already know the answer. Everything you think, say, and do, on a daily basis, is for the purpose of achieving it. What it will prove to be will either be the result of a random string of circumstances or you will arrive at a destination by means of deliberate, well reasoned, methodical steps. In either case, you will consciously or unconsciously choose to inject good or evil into the world, being either a fountain of blessing or cursing. Just remember, you own what you say and do. Whatever the stimulus is to spur you to action, is largely irrelevant. How you react is on you and every time you react, whether good or evil, creates habits, which create character, which is, at any given moment, the reason why you are here. You are like a seed and whatever kind of plant you are when you are put into the ground, is what you will sprout to be. Whether that is something that bears pleasant fruit to be enjoyed, or thorns to be gathered and burned, is up to you, right now.

Re: Unsolvable Mistery: Why are we here?
Firsr we walked, then we learned to mount on other species, then we learned to sail, then we learned to being carried using wheels, then we learned to use mechanical "horses", then we learned to fly, then we learned to drive single "iron horses" and about traffic, then we started to be carried by "self-thinking iron horses", then we hated it, then we started to travel less because we weren't safe out there, then we started "to be there outout really being", then we ceased to move, then we weren't anymore.

All in a single, contractive timeline. No disruptions. An unstoppable path to our reclusiveness, forgetting what life was.

So, why are we here? To sucumb as an specie? Is something better waiting for us time ahead? The lapses between stages are narrowing at an alarming rate and we even didn't evolve enough to tolerate one to each other, as robots will.

It that our future? Trascending through machines?

Re: Unsolvable Mistery: Why are we here?
Sometimes, understanding how good one has it, is only achieved by experiencing how bad it can get. We are on this track where tech is moving forward, particularly toward the direction of space. Our Creator is in the business of creating worlds and we are learning the family business. There are enemies out there who destroy things. Part of the curriculum is learning how to repair and rebuild damage, which by necessity, requires a messed up world of a classroom for the lesson. We are well on our way to creating that devastated world to repair now. When the destruction is completed, the destructors will be removed and the repairers will take over.

I'm afraid we will not reach the stage about moving toward space. We are extremely bounded to Earth, as it is a barrier put there by God.

We should solve things over here first, but I'm afraid we're in the wrong path, a self-destructive one, driven by greed and sheer stupidity (wich is arrogance, between other interpretations).

You are here because you extend outward from one's ancestors a mixture of chaos and order. You exist in a prime existences that requires fundamental beliefs in either a creator or destroyer and end or a beginning. Your life is the total sum of everything you have thought of yourself and perhaps what others in parallel actualities has thought of you.

As Carlin said...we are here for plastic. To either create it or distribute it around the Earth. Once it has enough, we will be gone but the Earth will be fine. It didn't know how to make plastic without humans.

Because it just happened. Something mediocre occurred and humans were created in the process. We are only a small step n human, bipedal evolution. Imagine how humans will appear in 10,000 years. We might actually be amazing.

This 4 Minute Vid by Alan Watts resonates with me.

Its a quantum physics thing, about all of us being connected. Eternal life as a god would be boring, so 'god' splintering itself into infinite numbers of consciousness to experience pain/pleasure while evolving - would be cool. A human being, and even an atom in a rock would represent part of that individual consciousness.

perhaps? [link to brontebaxter.wordpress.com (secure)]
"Accept now that all you have seen from the day of your birth on the surface of the earth, to the present, are wonderful only because the finite mind of man is confused with fragments of evidence, that, from whatever direction we meet them, spring from an unreachable infinity."

"There was a man who could create what could not be imagined. A temple so great you questioned if it was built with human hands. A man who built an idea into the greatest force the world has ever known. A world built from a single word. I care not for the folly of man but for the end of human contention."

To achieve our soul's purpose. Life on Earth is really nothing else but a means to an end. God doesn't really care about civilization or creature comforts or whatever values/traditions we hold dear, though he can give all this to us, he will destroy them if they act as a stumbling block between Him and us.

HAHAHAHAHA...sorry had to do it.

I can't believe the new agers buy into this ascension stuff. Ostensibly because the "alters" in the spirit come from you if you love love love them you're a narcissist, right? It's self defeating upside backwards etc.

Just saying.

Truth? You're in a battery farm for something insidious and it probably isn't "satan" it's probably something else less mythological/archetypal. Since they run the spirit like a game show (one of those japanese electrocution game shows) I'd say odds are you're entertainment for something...you know plus the battery energy harvesting stuff.
