Purpose, Expression, and the Meaning of Life

This post is mostly a free form of a thought flow. It is less of a logical succession of working through thoughts and more allowing the unfolding of what appears to be true. It is not so much about carving out beliefs as identifying ways of working with reality.

thMy own personal purpose can be stated as being the light. That can be taken biblically as modeling a positive character but I also like to take it a step further. From just “being the light” it becomes being the light of consciousness. I can begin to inquire, not only into myself but help others to do the same. Be the light which shines on the darkness of pain and suffering to illuminate dysfunctional patterns, be the light which guides you on your path to well-being.

Life seems to be a purpose of expression. Life is the expression of potentiality into actuality. This can be taken at a surface level of New Age self-expression that turns into selfishness. You may need to explore your self-expression, but can you actualize more potential in each moment, each cell, each relationship, each interaction. This to me seems to be the purpose of life, all that is expressing itself as all that is possible in each given moment.

Can you begin to express life at the deepest level, tease out the totality of allness from each drop of reality?
