What is your Purpose in Life

Looks like i am on a roll .... :)

I had posted almost a year ago a sentence from a book i was reading at the time.. for those that have forgotten here is the line again

"The Point of life is not to get anywhere - It is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there . You are, always and forever, in the moment of pure creation. The point of life is therefore to create - who and what you are, and then to experience that."

During this period some of the questions on my list of questions to my self have been answered and some removed as they are no longer relevant but at the same time my list of questions has been growing longer and answers not forthcoming; As a result I have thrown my self into work and have neglected a basic necessity of life... that is to think and resolve all questions when they pop up. Looks like its time to start answering those difficult questions again.

Well the subject of this post is the question I would like to ask my self today; and I guess by now the readers would have guessed the reason for my posting that line from that book. The question has troubled mankind since the beginning to time, and the line I have posted answers the question but throws up a set of new questions.

The only way to answer what your life purpose is to ask your self who you are and what you are, (not simple) because the normal answer to the first new question is “ I am so and so son/daughter of so and so , husband/wife of so and so etc etc…” Is that who you are? Is your existence defined by the existence of others? If that is the case then you have not discovered who you are and then the true purpose of your life would be to discover who you are and then experience that.

So how does one discover what he or she is ? Well try this

Sit at home with a paper and pen, try to clear your mind of all thought. You will reach an instance when you realise that there was no single thought in your head a moment ago. At that instance ask your self who am i?

The answers might come in a rush. Start penning them down; all of them without trying to analyse what the answer is.. Just write them down as they come…After a short while your mind will start to wander again. At that point look at the paper and see what you have written down

I have done it and will be doing it again in a day or two.. Will post my new result on the blog as a reply to this post… Would love to see what every one else gets

Regards
