Purpose of life

Now, as we come to the edge of the trees, we come to a subject that everyone asks themselves at least once during their lifetime.

 

What is the purpose of life?

 

A simple question, one that can be debated about for hours, yet it has a very simple answer.

 

The purpose of life is love.

 

It's that simple.  It sounds so easy, so simple, yet it is so.  The purpose of life is love.  Love for self, love for others, and love for life. 


If you humans could learn to love yourself, love other people unconditionally and love everything with no strings attached, there would be no reason for you to reincarnate. 

 

The purpose of life, in addition to knowing and mastering yourself, is for you to learn to love yourself and love others.  It may sound selfish saying that you need to love yourself, yet you cannot grow spiritually unless you love yourself.  For how can you grow if you do not like yourself?

 

There is such a thing as too much self-love.  This is called the ego.  When it comes in and takes over, whispering how important you are, how you are superior to others, then your self-love has gone too far.

 

The ego comes up when your self-love is not kept in check.  In my eyes, no one of you is any more important then others.  You are all equally beautiful and lovable.

 

Love is the highest emotion, the greatest truth and the greatest value.  When you work with love, you grow very quickly.  Love is my only emotion, my source of being.  Therefore, when you work with love, you are really working with me.

 

Love can change your planet faster then anything else.  If everyone on your planet, for one day, just loved each other without condition, then world peace would happen overnight.  Have you heard the expression, "Love makes the world go round?"  That is a very true statement. 

 

It is difficult to put into human words how Love really is the answer for everything, and how love is the purpose of life.  You all expect the answer to be complex and big, yet in reality the answer is simple, but no less big.

 

Over every lifetime you have had, you have been trying to learn to love everyone and everything without condition.  You are trying to pursue your highest goal, your highest dream, to become like me.  Your highest goal is to love everyone without limits, without barriers or without obstacles.

 

That is your highest goal, your highest standard.  My standard (if I had one) is all-accepting love for all, no questions asked.

 

If you achieved world peace, the complete banning of war, eliminated AID's, ended starvation, and there was little to no love in the world, then would the victory be a victory?

 

Likewise, if there was still war, AIDs, starvation, but there was a tremendous love between humans all over the world, then would that not be better? 


Without love, you are nothing.  Without love, nobody is anything.  If nobody had love, then life would be a hell on earth that you cannot even begin to fathom. 

 

Therefore, here is my guidance for you on your life's purpose:  Practice loving everyone and everything unconditionally.  Sounds simple doesn’t it?

 

Yet it can be challenging.  There are many out there who are hateful, who are fearful, and who will mock you, taunt you, and try to tear you down.  Unconditional love can be a scary thing to those not used to it.  Try to have compassion towards these people.  Love has not yet reached them, and they have suffered greatly because of it.

 

Yet if you show kindness, understanding, and compassion, you can turn their lives around.  You can help them change.  They might be afraid to have love, because they have lost it before, but if you are steadfast in understanding of kindness, you can help change them, and in turn, change the world.

 

Therefore, I tell you what your ultimate goal and ultimate destiny is:  That you can, and you will, love everyone and everything without condition.  Love is your destiny, in this life, or in the life after that, or the life after that.

 

You will have as many lives as you need to learn that love is all you need.
