What is it all for?

There time comes in the life of a human being when philosophy sets in.  You know, questions like, "why do I exist?," "how will I know?" and "what is the point of it all?"

Many generations pass through this window of opportunity called existence and ask the same things.  Do you ever think that you are part of one big repetative circle? If you do, you are right.  If you do not, you are right as well.  The answer isn't something that appears in front of you.  Rather, you emerge to create it.  You are the answer you seek.

So many souls will approach me with questions and act as though the answers must lie outside themselves.  This is a simple misunderstanding.  Nothing lies outide yourself.  If you have seen the Matrix movies, you gain insight into analogies.  You do not need a physical connection to a machine to realize you are part of something beyond yourself.

Awareness proceeds change.  A person is not expected to eliminate a mindset or a weakness that he does not grasp within.  The more open you are to asking questions and raising awareness, the more informed you become.  You are already well on your way to evolving attitudes and perceptions that are not helpful.  You decide what is next.

It seems to me that far-right religion has particular tendencies to externalize spiritual life. I've noticed on the blogs that Christian fundamentalists even decry - and are woefully ignorant about - Christianity's own venerable contemplative traditions.

Paul-Maurice, every human being contemplates on some level, regardless of age, ethnicity, religious or other orientation. It is a human tnedency to use words to describe, to question, and to explore different levels of awareness. Each tool, just like each mindset, is helpful on some level in its own way.

We are the questions and the answers. When we can answer all of the questions, we get a set of fresh ones and it continues until we reach self-realization. We become someone then no one. Life is a circle and we are circling towards the center of our own consciousness.

very well written, and yes, I think every human being sometimes wonders about life.
I once heard someone talk about heaven, and said that heaven is exactly like you imagine it to be. If you believe there is a golden gate or a garden of eden, or whatever, that is what you will find. and for me, I do believe in reincarnation, and therefore it's true for me, and it is so.

Indeed the answers are within us. It is just that so many people are so used to others thinking for them, that they find it so normal to just accept other's answers. And as wise as these may be, unless they truly resonate with your spirit, they will never be the deep and meaningful answers that one is looking for.

And yes indeed, the more you personally seek, the more you find...or should I say remember ;)

Evita, learning to think for oneself is an action that is not encouraged as often as adopting other people's ideas. From birth, childran adapt and respond to messages expressed by their parents. From a young age, children are sent to school to learn what other people believe is right, is fact, is necessary to survive in this world. In fact, they are tested, rewarded and punished based on how well they choose to remember what other people believe. It becomes more of a challenge to learn to think outside these boxes, but rest assured, anything is possible. You remember what you choose.

Phoenix, you perceive exactly what you need in the experiences of life and death.

Regardless of your physical or spiritual state, Higher Forces encourage you to move toward greater compassion and harmony. Such a vision encourages people to revise their thinking about what is possible. Wherever you are, events will unfold so you are forced to rethink consequences of your beliefs and actions. That you will act is understood. How you will exercise free will is up to you. Will you consider implications of your choices for other people? A sense of suffering and fear do not have to cloud your judgment.

Alexys, the universe unfolds in such a way as to relentlessly implore us to make choices that favor compassion and understanding. Individuals do not always choose to learn these lessons. Resistence is futile. People have no reason to punish themselves. Inadequacies and insecurities are figments of the imagination meant to keep you where you are. You do not have to grasp how everything is happening in order to value the underlying laws. Energy flows to encourage you to deconstruct emotional and psychological barriers.
