The Living Force
Existence itself (as opposed to nothing existing at all) seems to be the biggest mystery of them all. Nothing existing at all seems to be absurd, just like existence arising out of complete non-existence.
This seems to imply that some form of existence (maybe ultimately in the form of consciousness) must have "always been there".
This in turn implies that everything that can happen has already happened an infinite number of times in every possible permutation - and will continue to happen an infinite number of times.
It is then difficult to see what purpose (if any) existence itself might have, except repeating everything that is possible over and over again. Or if there is no time, everything that is possible just exists in the now, maybe an infinite number of times?
To even try to answer a question like this seems to be a fool's errand. Even our concept of time does not apply to the eternal now beyond physicality.
Maybe existence "just is" and has ultimately no purpose? Or who knows, the purpose of existence might be totally incomprehensible to us.
I'm not sure if the C's have been asked about the purpose of existence itself. The closest is probably this here:

Q: (L) Is there only one ultimate creator of the universe

A: Mass division and disbursement.
Q: (L) Was this simultaneous?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Was this what we refer to as the "Big Bang?"
A: Yes.
Q: (L) Is there any reference to this event in terms of time?
A: Always.
Q: (L) Can we say that all that exists in the material universe is, say, "x" number of years old?
A: No. It is the eternal now. Not only did happen, is happening and going to happen. The expanded presence.

A: The point is: stop filling your consciousness with monotheistic philosophies planted long ago to imprison your being. Can't you see it by now, after all you have learned, that there is no source, there is no leader, there is no basis, there is no overseer, etc... You literally possess, within your consciousness profile, all the power that exists within all of creation!?! You absolutely have all that exists, ever has, or ever will, contained within your mind. All you have to do is learn how to use it, and at that moment, you will literally, literally, be all that is, was, and ever will be!!!!!!!!
Q: (L) That is all fine and dandy and sounds wonderful, except for one little item. You also say that the monotheistic concepts were IMPOSED on us to prevent us from knowing this. So, if we are all that is, how can something exist that can impose something so unpleasant on us?
A: Choices follow desire based imbalances.
Q: (L) If that is the case, why can't any one just turn off the lights, end the illusion, and everything becomes nothing?
A: Well, first of all, everything does not become nothing. Secondly, some have already become everything.
