The purpose of life is really no big deal, although people have generally viewed the question, Why am I here? as the ultimate in self-exploration. As with any question, when you look at it from a different point of view, it is very simple. When you accept that human beings are spiritual beings and that our physical and mental selves, including our personalities, are just tools that we are given to affect our spiritual nature, then the ansswer just presents inself. The true purpose of life lies in the spiritual maturing process of individuals, society, and humanity as a whole. We are here on Earth in such and such shape, form , and mind to strive for the completion of our spiriutual selves, not only as individuals but as the whole of humanity. We are here to heal our souls and come closer to recovering the divine nature—our spiritual nature—throuth the physical and mental tools that we hve been given. “My body is mine, not me.” ” My mind is mine, not me.” These two sentences form the centerpiece of this spiritual point of view. If the physical body and mental acuity that you have been born with are not you. but just tools temporarily lent you for you to experience thing that will mature you spiritually, then who is the real you? Simple. Your spiritual nature. And since your spiritual nature is essentially a part of the Cosmic Spirit, and so is the spiritual nature of everyone else’s, then your spiritual nature and someone else’s spiritual nature are parts of the same Grand Spirit. This is why every spiritual and religious leader in the history of humankind has told us that we are One. Another way to describe the spiritually maturing process, this piritual awakening that is our ture purpose of life, is enlightenment. The true purpose of life for every human being is, therefore, to reach enlightenment.
