What Is The Purpose Of Life? Why Are We here?

The purpose of life is really to experience it
This is a question I have been attempting to find the answer for my whole life, and there has been no shortage of answers. It seems to me that everybody and their dog thinks they have this figured out and are only too happy to share, and forcefully if necessary. So lets go back to the beginning, you can decide for yourself.
My first teacher in this regard was my mom, from the age of 0 to 5 yrs old I was taught that life was about pain, and suffering, and that if you suffered enough you might by the grace of God find eternal Joy in heaven. Then I entered the education system that taught me that I was born stupid and that the only way to avoid the suffering, was to seek for the knowledge that only they could provide.
All the while I was also going to church where I was taught that I was born evil and that unless I followed their dogma, constantly begged forgiveness, and devoted my life to stroking god’s ego the suffering I am experiencing on this planet is nothing compared to the fire and brimstone that waits for me after I die.
I then turned to the media. The News taught me that the main goal in life is to not die, and that I live in a scary place where threats to my life and well being are everywhere. Then I watched drama series’s and movies and the message was the same. They taught me that murder was ok as long as it was justified, and the same held true for lying, cheating, and stealing. Even in the advertising the message is very clear,”Be afraid, be very afraid, you are small and weak and need us to protect you from a very dangerous universe”
There Must Be A Better Way!
Does this story sound familiar to you? Does this sound like an environment that a loving God would place his children in? Is this the experience you want? Thank God that the above is all part of the grand Illusion, taught by those that live in fear and seek to control others so that they themselves can feel safe. I thank God that this never works and that those that try to control others only end up imprisoning themselves.
In order to teach fear one must first be fearful, in order to promote smallness one must see themselves as small, in order to teach powerlessness one must see themselves as powerless. I can only teach that which I believe to be true for me. With this in mind, I can now come from a place of compassion around those that teach such things.
Teach Only What You Want To Be True!
The purpose of life is really to experience it, to look around at the many experiences available and choose from what you do not want, and what you do want. You where created to summon the life force through you and fully express who you are to the world. You truly are a powerful being who came here with purpose and intention.
If you want to feel powerful then teach empowerment, if you want to feel Loved unconditionally then teach unconditional Love. If you want to feel connected and at one with all then teach only that. All that comes to you comes from you. There is nothing to fear because Love is the most powerful force in the universe and at your core, you are Love.
