If we are all one consciousness then what is the purpose of individual life?

A Disturbance in the Force
I have been on my journey for since the shift on 12/21/12 and I have learned a lot about why things are and who we are but i still have not gotten answers to the direct purpose of individual life itself. if we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively then what is the meaning and purpose of the individual soul and experiencing individual life? or does that go along with what is the grand design and no one could possibly know?
 
Who is the pot to say to the potter: "Why have you made me thus?"

Yeah, easy answer but really, if you were all-consciousness, what would YOU do for eternity?
 
I do not know if we can possibly know but I strife and fight for it with the means/ways I can.
(maybe it's not meant to be a strife, or only to a certain point where lessons are learned)

[EDIT: this is my answer to the topic] Still, lessons never end!

:cool2:
 
both are very well thought out answers and i was excepting it as well. Laura I would have to say your question really makes me think. and i have thought about this before thinking about what the afterlife could be. I think about what makes me feel divine and what I would do for forever...and honestly...the only thing i could think of is being with my family and loving and cherishing our bond and moments together. but i feel like there are greater responsibilities in the afterlife. when it comes to so many channeling through and guardian angels it feels like being in bliss with your family doesn't seem likely which makes me sad but i know that if i ever felt like i had the power to help the world I would be more than willling to take on that responsibility.
 
I think that makes sense Kaye. If I had all eternity and I had a feeling like you mentioned, why not create completely unique children (like a family) separate from myself, give them free will, make them an environment to learn about using free will, allow for indefinite growth and learning, and allow them to come to know me if they choose. Im not sure why I'd choose to separate myself from myself, forget myself, and wait for myself to remember just to gain some type of subjective experience. Sort of sounds like what those big drunken nights are all about :) Is that what an unlimited being would need or at least seek? Don't reckon so.

Anyway, for me the former proposition makes more sense, and both in my mind are anthropomorphic, how could they be anything but from our vantage points? So considering its nothing but speculation from a pot trying to conceive of the potter, we might still be able to use logic to discern the more likely from potentially many of similar more unlikely speculations. Is that a waste of time better spent on understanding myself first? Maybe, but there's always room to improve my poor multi-tasking capabilities.

Well that's what I think, fwiw.
 
I totally agree. I often have battles within myself trying to decide what would be best for the mass consciousness if that what is in fact, we all are. Sometimes i feel so disconnected with the earth and the people on it that i just want to drop my human dreams and ambitions and go join a monastery in the mountains or go live in the woods with the bare essentials and forget the vanity of materialism or vanity..or maybe that i don't belong on this earth at all and i would find more fulfilling desires in another dimension or trying to be a guardian angel in the spirit realm...but then i go back to my undeniable nurturing nature and longing for my family. I never had a family as a child, my parents were drug dealers and my dad used to beat me and i left home when i was 18. I cannot shake that i want to share my love and spiritual guidance with my children that are apart of me. Then i begin to feel selfish for I know that I couldn't bring myself to want the bare minimum for my children and for them to be isolated from the very people we are one with. But, as for the spirit side of me....I long for the power to change something...to be able to help the mass as much as i can for I also love them all very much...i feel like my spirit is strong enough to go through what it takes to really get in there and make a difference...then finally brings me to my question on the purpose of individual life...is it just as important as what you are called to do when you travel beyond?
 
I becoming to make peace with that answer...Because without creation there would be nothing...and there would be no point in that to even ponder. I think i ask myself this question because I think it will help me decide what is the best thing for me to do...and I beginning to think that that's the wrong question to ask. my mind just wants a full understanding about what is the ultimate goal of this life and the next...and in my research i find many and learn many things..but I'm beginning to believe this answer will only be answered by myself when the time is right whenever that my be in this life or the next.
 
in this state of being each choice we make will lead to alternate realities born and recycled. if you so choose to have a family while delving into the divine in yourself im sure the god-mind would have anything to say about more followers of the spirit, more STO candidates if you will. however like you have said before miss kaye, "you cannot let the desire for this knowledge consume you" this is something i have taken to heart. b t dub i made a profile, Love you :) :halo:
