What is the meaning of life? I’m going to share my personal thoughts on this giant of all questions. Here are five answers I’ve found on my journey of life.
1. To grow – We are here in this extremely difficult earth school to grow through challenges that teach us aspects of love. We take this growth with us back “Home,” and it benefits all.
2. To create and enjoy creation – Living is simply creating at every moment. A child plays and creates, an adult works and creates, making both small and large masterpieces and disasters, artworks and conundrums – all eventually lost, just to start all over again. We are co-creators of life, and like a work of art that flows magically, we can create with the same joyous energy with which God made our very world. This is the zone experienced while “playing” at something we feel born to do. I have found that focusing on the past and future disconnects me from this natural flow. Experiencing the present moment allows me to live fully and create joyously. For example, I find that if I fixate on each thought or desire and compare it to the past, a difficult process begins. But, if I simply dive into each opportunity with a full, trusting, and present heart, and immerse myself in the moment, things work out magically in life.
3. To get back to our divine origin – The fall of man in the Bible represents our disconnect from God. I believe the process of remembering where we come from is the unfolding of each individual spiritual journey. We are each a spark of God getting to know ourselves, traveling through many levels of creation and growing over eons. We have ventured for long enough and even lost our way, and now we are striving to get back to our Godself.
4. To heal – In my post “Shadow,” I describe how I believe life is a process of healing our collective conditioning from the dark side of civilization. I think we have been taught to control each other for thousands of years. Now, if we can forgive each other for this, we can truly free ourselves – the way we were each meant to be.
5. To learn unconditional love – The very challenges that we face as we heal give us each a chance to experience unconditional love. For myself, every time that I feel hurt, I have a golden opportunity to open my heart from the protective layers that I’ve built. This offers profound growth by choosing to forgive with compassion instead of being right and stubborn. I believe that experiencing this growth is why we are here. We are collectively growing so that we can reside at this higher level, a process called Earth Ascension. To me, helping with Ascension by practicing unconditional love is our greatest human purpose.

Dearest Suzanne: I have come to understand that we are here just to BE. To BE is not as simple as it sounds! We human-beings are guardians of this earth and all that thrives here.
We as human-beings have not done a great job of taking care of our planet. Part of the changes that have been going on for years and will come to a head in 2012 are to ger our attention…to wake us to the fact that we are to just BE and to allow all other things to just BE as well.
Thank you for sharing your incredible being here James. I’ll be reflecting on this for days to come.
Fascinating!! I see it like this. Much like white light can be refracted into every colour of the rainbow through a prism so too can our ‘being’ [light] be cosmically refracted into the five modalities of living that Suzy so beautifully describes through the prism of our ‘willingness’ to serve and be love.
