Is there an ultimate purpose to life?

I wouldn't say an ultimate purpose to life but I think we're here to learn the golden rule which is why it's seen throughout so many of the world's belief systems. 

I think another reason we're here to learn how to forgive ourselves for our mistakes and ask for forgiveness from others that we have harmed.

It's a sandbox, the purpose is likely fun

I agree it's about having fun, I disagree with the sandbox though. It's a very small world. Golden rule is slept on by most, especially religions, if they could teach it there would be no need for the rest of their nonsense.

It is whatever you want it to be. We give life purpose, if we want to. Or you can give it no purpose, that's up to you. You can give it any purpose you want.

Ah yes, the Ultimate Question


I think its multiple reasons just like how reality is probably multidimensional. Spiritual journey of some sort. Learning. Growing. Evolving. Spreading and Experiencing Love. Expanding Consciousness. Returning back to The Source.

And having Fun!

Or it could be simple a consequence of Creation with no real intention, like how heat is created from a chemical reaction. Just the Law of Nature, no reason, it just "is".

It's said the purpose is to go higher, and that reveals sovereignty and that everywhere; we are choosing and reaping fruits.

Ive love to hear more about that :awesome:

Makes me think of Mars and how theres evidence that the planet did have liquid water on the surface. Perhaps Mars was covered in Life millions to billions of years ago and now is a dead planet. If so, what is it purpose now? Perhaps to rebirth as a living planet again like a Phoenix from Human terraforming in the distant future? I like to think so.

I often feel as if it's an education. Consider the 'soul' in 2 halves: the primordial energy IE the fragment of some divine architect/energy than is present in every consciousness, and the human energy.
In that idea, the goal of the primal energy is to provide gentle reminders of our purpose without impeding on free will and the goal of the human energy is to learn enough to become as 'spiritually aware' as the primal energy (where I believe we all return after death).
It's got to be high-stakes for the lessons to truly sink in though,so we can't be allowed to fully remember otherwise it'd be too easy to opt out or act in heinous ways that impede on the education/experience of others.
The difference between playing life in hardcore or free-roam.

OR

We're monkeys with some weird capacity to process emotional/energetic detritus the way mushrooms break down shit in the eco-system.
To answer your question.... Fuck knows, watch the Pixar film 'Soul' on a good few gram and you'll be telling us the purpose! :bongload:

A Discipleship meeting I've been going off and on is doing a study of a book called "The Purpose Driven Life", by Rick Warren. They gave each of us there a copy of the book, I haven't got far in reading it but been meaning too, it says stuff like "If there's no God, than there's no meaning to life, and if there's no meaning to life, there's no purpose to life". And it talks a lot about This life only being a temporary test for the real life, which is Eternity with or without God, Depending on how you live here and now.

The Book I'm actually enjoying, as I'm a believer. though I think I drew a poor picture of it up there, or so I think it sounds in your ears!

The Discipleship meeting is another story though, 10 or more guys with some sharing there troubles, others offering support, spewing out the Wisdom one person after another, Talking about practicing "Self-Control" at which point I Realized the two obverse and reverse of a Coin and that is one side is "Non-Attachment" the other "Surrender", them being in relation to Self-Control that is. the word that kept coming to my mind was "Edifying!" from everybody, it actually lasted an extra hour we all were so engrossed and lost track of time! That's what Church ministries should aim for.

Life is one interconnected system, you better do your bit, no one really knows what it is unless the whole universe is life. In which case, we have no choice but to survive ourselves.

Women are pleasant to all the five senses: Nice voice, nice touch, nice smell, nice shape, and
nice taste. This is the direct result of evolution - which, as such, is governed by randomness. First
you have random genetic modifications, then only those which prove advantageous for survival persist.

That's not too far off, by the way. If there is an ultimate purpose to life, it is probably sex.

I had a dream or that in hypnopompia, that purpose is to give. An obvious thing but a wakeful moment - I mean primarily in spiritual abidance. It went as, in giving or abidance, nirvana is identical with service.

Hello AnattaAtman.

I reject the notion of evolution in that through randomness and time alone, nothing became something and that meaningless became meaningful.

Randomness alone is not enough, and no amount of time will help.

But if that's what you believe, then that's what you believe  :thumbup:.

Evolution in my opinion is based on a type of anthropomorphic determinism.

The so called question " is evolution guided by special powers..?"

I think spontaneous generation and guided evolution are definitely real.

The issue for me is that the word 'evolution' is used in variety of ways (in meaning), but it's still considered by most to be referring to Charles Darwin and the big bang theory.

A simple example would be my music collection.

I have over 9000 song in my music library on my PC (Winamp).  Now this collection of song started around 10 years ago, and since then I have added many new Cd's and I have also deleted many songs that I ultimately didn't like.  So, my collection now, which I'm quite proud of, has over the last 10 years "evolved" to become what it is today.  But, this "evolution" happened because of the fact that new information was added, and also that some information was removed.

Mind you, not in a random kind of way but a thoughtful process that was required by me to do.  You see my music collection keeps getting better and better, and by this i mean that nearly every song that's now plays is i song i like or really like.  This only happened because of my part, which was to build up a library of music worth having.  On a side note, had i just "randomly" added songs and "randomly" removed songs over the "evolution" of my music library, then I don't think i would have the awesome library that i have today, and that is because of design (on my part), not just randomness.

The view that many people around the world have today is that my music library is what it is today, and it's transformation, by only meaningless randomness  and a whole lot of of time ("evolution").  This way of thinking also is the way many believe the universe came to be and what it is today (including Earth as we know it),

that (to me), is just absurd.

Well I've never heard evolution described as randomness. Not sure where that comes from. Darwin didn't describe it that way and I can't think of anyone who has studied evolution who does.

Evolutionary theory posits survival as a cause for gene selection. And acknowledges that life wants to survive. That's not randomness. That's ordered. And why it helps to explain so much about how species adapt and evolve in changing survival conditions. It also explains why many species cannot adapt when changes occur too quickly. It adds the understanding of time (for change to take place) against the currently existing genetic makeup. Genes don't change in a snap, they evolve, over time...

How do you guys understand extinction if not through an evolutionary process? Evolution essentially describes it as running out of time to change.

I'm not that poster, and I am a firm recognizer of evolution. However, I would say that in fact it has a lot of elements of 'randomness'.

Genes are selected, but the mutations that are 'available' are random. That is, some members of a species will have some adaptation that totally spoils their survival, some have one that makes them survive more. Due to this randomness, a mutation, some part of the population dies and the other survives. After that the successful gene is spread in the population. Survival was determined entirely by if one was 'lucky' to have had the mutation.

While it is adaptational success and not randomness that determines who wins or loses, the random 'lottery' determines if you have the right mutations to survive to the next round. And due to the structure of genetics as it relates to sexual reproduction, our bodies are in some sense a product of randomness, because a random selection of genes are sampled from each parent - and sometimes the combination of two particular genes might be prosperous, while if one other gene is included, it could lead to disease. Sexual reproduction is a bit like a slot as far as what the result will occur: which sperm survives? which egg is currently available to fertilize? And after fertilization, which genes will be selected from the father and which from the mother? While it may not be random in the true sense, it is random for all intents and purposes.

However, I acknowledge that selection and success provide order to these random processes; the 'slot machine' of sexual reproduction or random mutation slowly, over time, results in successful genes being selected. But supposing a new challenge approaches like a new disease or other obstacle. What will determine if you have the right tools, if you have some gene that lets you clear the disease or a gene that makes you even more susceptible? And that comes down to 'randomness', as it really is merely luck as to who gets dealt what cards.

I would just reframe this notion of 'random' as 'unknown'.

In partner selection we choose a mate based on traits we know about. This is not random. We do not choose randomly.

But when genes combine, there are bi-products we cannot know in advance. We are not fortune tellers who know the future. And so there is the unknown.

Is the unknown synonymous with random? I don't think so. I think it is much more closely synonymous with ignorance. Increasingly we are finding ways to "know" in advance some of the previously unknown aspects of gene selection through sequencing. And this form of knowledge is likely to factor into mate selection over time, just as other forms of knowledge do currently. Changes in selection occur over time. This is a principle of evolution.

I think the unknown always remains. But I do not think it is well defined as randomness.

Evolution can occur in leaps and bounds with mushrooms. Big changes, constant pupil dilations, changes in the retina, the brain hyperconnects, etc. I think this is the best purpose.

How does life feel to you? If it feels really, really good, the question of purpose is kind of answered subconsciously. It's not clear, you can't put it to words, but you feel life is 'answered' if you're alive in a certain way. Something to pursue before you start with dogmas or rituals.

There's lots to make of a journey, such as mushrooms, LSD and DMT. LSD really overrides reality, takes you to this backroom sometimes, like another dimension just existing out there.

Let's be explorers? Of Nature, and dimensions, so space. Let's forget about time.

But I'm with you, purpose, ultimate purpose, seems lacking, even in out of body experience, it seems more like a gift, all of this.

Kickle said:
I would just reframe this notion of 'random' as 'unknown'.

In partner selection we choose a mate based on traits we know about. This is not random. We do not choose randomly.

But when genes combine, there are bi-products we cannot know in advance. We are not fortune tellers who know the future. And so there is the unknown.

Is the unknown synonymous with random? I don't think so. I think it is much more closely synonymous with ignorance. Increasingly we are finding ways to "know" in advance some of the previously unknown aspects of gene selection through sequencing. And this form of knowledge is likely to factor into mate selection over time, just as other forms of knowledge do currently. Changes in selection occur over time. This is a principle of evolution.

I think the unknown always remains. But I do not think it is well defined as randomness.




Some is unknown, sure, but some is truly random. Let me provide a source.

From the genomics education programme:

Quote:

random assortment (definition):
The random organisation of chromosomes in the middle of the cell during the first stage of meiosis, which further increases genetic diversity.
Use in clinical context
Meiosis produces an individual’s gametes. During the first stage of meiosis (meiosis I), the homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell before being separated into two new cells. One of each pair of homologous chromosomes originated in the individual’s mother and the other in their father. Which side of the spindle each chromosome lines up on is random and, due to the number of chromosomes in the genome, the potential combinations are in the millions. This results in some chromosomes that were from the individual’s mother on one side and others inherited from their father on the opposite side. Consequently, when these are pulled apart there will be a mixture of maternal and paternal chromosomes in the newly formed cells. Random assortment contributes to the mixing up of genetic material in the gametes. This means that, although siblings often resemble each other, they are never identical unless they are monozygotic twins.





And everything else I'm reading on meiosis confirms it. Here's another source from a publication hosted by the prestigious journal, Nature.

Quote:

During meiosis, the pairs of homologous chromosome are divided in half to form haploid cells, and this separation, or assortment, of homologous chromosomes is random. This means that all of the maternal chromosomes will not be separated into one cell, while the all paternal chromosomes are separated into another




Evolution actually can explain why randomness is needed. It is commonly postulated that sexual reproduction helps to introduce new genes to the population and prevent people from being too genetically similar making them susceptible to diseases. The mixing of the genes of two individuals needs to create never-heard-of combinations to ensure total population fitness.

This is necessary, because biological beings cannot anticipate every threat. It may be that a new bacteria emerges that no one currently has any resistance to; but maybe a new combination in a child, that wasn't found in the parents, could provide some kind of unique immunity.

Don't look into CRISPR/CAS9 then. This process is not random when an outcome is selected. And we can select a specific emergence as far as we can understand what leads to the emergence. This extends to homologous chromosomes at this point.

If we do not know how something emerges, we are unable to act upon it. This again is IMO representative of ignorance, not randomness. Because once we know, it is not random. And this underlying order, which leads to understanding the emergence, is why we can act upon it.

Maybe this will be helpful for the way I reframe as well: the cause is not random. When we do not understand the cause, the result appears random. But once we understand the cause, the result does not appear random anymore, because if we change the cause we change the result. This interconnection is not at it's root random or else it would be unchangeable. It is at its root interconnected. Which means change one connection, change many.

You might find introns interesting. This is all very complex in it's interconnectedness. Never just 1-to-1. There are aspects of our genetic makeup which seem to serve as buffers against mutation. A natural selection against mutation. Humans have a ton of this "junk DNA" which protects sequences against mutation. Such protected sequences are called introns.

Quote:

Essentially, 'junk DNA' acts like a mutational buffer, protecting regions that contain the more sensitive sequences necessary for coding proteins.

Kickle said:
Well I've never heard evolution described as randomness. Not sure where that comes from. Darwin didn't describe it that way and I can't think of anyone who has studied evolution who does.

Evolutionary theory posits survival as a cause for gene selection. And acknowledges that life wants to survive. That's not randomness. That's ordered. And why it helps to explain so much about how species adapt and evolve in changing survival conditions. It also explains why many species cannot adapt when changes occur too quickly. It adds the understanding of time (for change to take place) against the currently existing genetic makeup. Genes don't change in a snap, they evolve, over time...

How do you guys understand extinction if not through an evolutionary process? Evolution essentially describes it as running out of time to change.



Throughout most of my life, evolution has been presented in this manner (nothing + bang (big or small) + meaningless + random + time) in more then one way or other, and not just a few times.  It's been in conversations/arguments against God and for the Big Bang and the evolution process.  I'm in my late 40's so, one possibility is that as the science of evolution has changed over the last 25 plus years, It may have been a more widely held view then scientist have today.  One of the things I remember from around 60 Billions seconds ago was the 1000 Monkeys 1000 Typewriters argument.  I want to add that from my teens, I have engaged in many conversation with people about the subject of God.

Here's some information from Wikipedia.

Infinite monkey theorem

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins employs the typing monkey concept in his book The Blind Watchmaker to demonstrate the ability of natural selection to produce biological complexity out of random mutations.

In a simulation experiment Dawkins has his weasel program produce the Hamlet phrase METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL, starting from a randomly typed parent, by "breeding" subsequent generations and always choosing the closest match from progeny that are copies of the parent, with random mutations. The chance of the target phrase appearing in a single step is extremely small, yet Dawkins showed that it could be produced rapidly (in about 40 generations) using cumulative selection of phrases.

The random choices furnish raw material, while cumulative selection imparts information. As Dawkins acknowledges, however, the weasel program is an imperfect analogy for evolution, as "offspring" phrases were selected "according to the criterion of resemblance to a distant ideal target." In contrast, Dawkins affirms, evolution has no long-term plans and does not progress toward some distant goal (such as humans).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem.

While the random point of evolution may not be a view that you've come across, It's been my experience that many people have, and do believe that the universe came about from a random (and meaningless) process (Evolution & The Big Bang process).  I want to add that this world view is held by many because I believe they reject the worldview that God made us and that we ALL must give account to him.

That said, by your subsequent responses Kickle, you are actually agreeing with me, that the world and universe that we find ourselves in, could not be the result of a true random (alone) process.

Quote:

Kickle said:

I don't think that's the point we are discussing.  Extinction is not the matter at hand, it's role in the (any) evolving processes is a different subject. 

The point of my first post (about my music library) was to share my view that just "random" (void of ANY purpose), can't correctly explain how my music collection went from a single Cd (single organism), to a complex body of awesome music collection (or side boobs :cool:), or much more, to rationally or logically (try to) explain the universe we behold.

Well I'm not quite 40 but close. The views I posted are the product of my education on evolution. So even in the roughly same timeline we ran into different info.

I suspect there are different types of teachers and our relationship with our teachers leads us in certain directions.

I imagine that while we converge at some points we differ in views at certain other points as well. So it goes :smile:

That's true, apparently there are people who still believe that the earth is flat.

In closing, i don't subscribe to any idea / belief / theory that says that the universe and all that it contains, is the result of a ultimately meaningless process (random or not), for I see design and purpose.

As you know Kickle, I believe in the God of the Bible.  I also believe that the God of the Bible is responsible for all that we can see, know, understand, comprehend, experience, believe in (or not), discover and even what choices (a-z) we can choose from (right or wrong) concerning himself, the message of the Cross, and ALL other beliefs humans will ever have.

My point being this, that he made everything, and I mean absolutely everything, and that through this fact / truth, he works out his will and purpose.


LORD of ALL.


p.s.  If anyone reading this does not believe in the God of the Bible, then please believe me when I say that I respect your belief, and would never in 4.54 billion years, try to force you to believe by hook or crook in the God of the Bible.  Your choice on the matter (and why you ultimately make it), is your department and responsibility :thumbup:.


Have a good week Kickle,

There's some doubt on the big bang theory which has been discussed in science news recently which is kind of interesting.  The more we learn about the universe with James Webb the more it will challenge our beliefs and theories relating to how the universe came into being.

I believe it’s just individual. Everyone finds their own purpose. But if you wanna argue from different standpoints you could argue the ultimate goal of any human is reproduction. Or in a spiritual sense it could be what many refer to as ascension.

the primary purpose for life is it was all made for God's Glory.

Goodness (as opposed to "Evil") was possibly made to show God's side is loving, joyful, peaceful and appropriate and desirable for all living things, Evil was made to show possibly two different things at least, one, what God is not nor likes, and two, testing, punishing, conditioning for stronger resilience and the earning of war-scars for a type of Honor and personal dignity to be proud of including God's pride over you, his Children.

we may not have to suffer in the next life.

I think for me it's just sharing and experiencing love. Love in self, love in others (sentient beings and all life forms), love in the natural world around us. Just taking in and feeling everything, experiencing, life coursing through us with each breath.

Yea bro, the purpose is basically to take your potential and turn it into skill set. Whatever that means to you. Also the main purpose is basically to advance your soul while you are here so that you can continue to do so in next lives.

I dont think we are here to learn it so much as it is simply a law of creation.  If God is One, and we/God want to experience a life in a physical world, where we interact with other entities with real consciousness, those entities will necessarily also be mentally composed of the consciousness of the One/God.  Everything is essentially us/God.  Therefore what we do onto others is quite literally done to ourselves.  Time and space is an illusion of this world.  We will experience everything from the perspective of every real consciousness we interact with, and we will live their entire lives.  In a sense we already have.

The purpose of life is to be found in the body.

LSD, mushrooms and DMT are different structural levels within the same magically simulated mystery sometimes blandly called 'life'

Your life, your call.

I'm telling you all, the purpose of life is to have fun. Bonus points if you don't explicitly go out of your way to hurt anyone in the process.

Extra bonus points if you can prioritize having fun over ruminating.


--------------------
If you can’t tell what you desperately need, it’s probably sleep.

To recognize yourself as God trying to remember it is God because the one true God first existed and respected all..the one true God existed before time..it is all prevailing..it is far reaching and flows out..it is said that it will indeed return. Maybe it is our job to initiate it's comeback through psychedelic use.

Find it in the body and in the spaces.

The "space" you are in is one of many.

A and B-types have different opinions of what is fulfilling.
