Are we just living life, or do you think we

Question

trying to figure why we living our lives??

Answer 1

Do you want to be happy in life? Does that not answer your question why we are living our lives?

We are living life for the experience but we are free to choose to live happily and since it is your choice that makes you happy and not someone else's, that is why it is understood by those who are really happy that happiness starts from within and not anywhere outside of you.

So live life happily and enjoy and have fun and the answer to why you are living the life you are living will come to you on its own as you evolve and grow in your life experience.

Answer 2

No, we are on the surface of a journey that God is traveling.

The first phase of God's journey is evolution. It is initiated from a totally unconscious God as if an infinite Ocean of Knowledge, Power and Bliss were in a state likened to deep sleep. This unconscious God speaks the First Word "Who am I?". This question disrupts the limitless, undivided, absolute vacuum, and its reverberations create individualized souls, compared to drops or bubbles within the Ocean. By speaking the First Word, God establishes the process of Creation, in which he assumes evolving forms to gain increasing consciousness.

Individuality is the vehicle of this quest. Evolution marks a series of temporary answers to "Who am I?" The soul traverses a multitude of forms, beginning with simples gases and proceeding slowly through inanimate stone and mineral forms. These early evolutionary stages obviously have only the most rudimentary consciousness and cannot provide a satisfactory answer to God's original question.

The original query thus provides a continuing momentum for the drop soul to develop new forms each with greater consciousness, including the many plant and animal beings. Every evolutionary kingdom reveals new dimensions of consciousness and experience. Each also offers opportunities to gain different kinds of awareness. For example, when the soul identifies itself with varied species of fish, it experiences the world as a creature living in water conversely, as a bird, it enriches its consciousness by flying through air.



When the drop soul finally evolves to human form, consciousness is fully developed, but an individual is still not aware of the potential of his or her consciousness.

So the original "Who am I?" imperative persists and inaugurates the second phase: reincarnation. Since consciousness is fully developed, there is no longer a need for evolving new forms. The individual's experience, gathered in early stages of evolution, is now humanized and expressed in countless lifetimes. The impulses gained in sub-human forms can play themselves out in the broader context of intelligence, emotions, choices, diverse setting and interactions with people.

But obviously no single lifetime can bear the burden of "humanizing" the entire evolutionary inheritance randomly or simultaneously. There must be a method for re-experiencing the pre-human legacy in manageable segments. The soul thus experiences alternately a series of opposites, organized according to themes. Accordingly, in different lives, the soul becomes male and female, rich and poor, vigorous and weak, beautiful and ugly. Through exploring the potential of these many opposites, one eventually exhausts all possible human identities and, therefore, has fully learned the entire range of human experience.

Here begins the third phase: involution, the process by which the soul returns to the full awareness of the Divine Force, which created him. As Meher Baba puts it, "When the consciousness of the soul is ripe for disentanglement from the gross world (the everyday world of matter and forms), it enters the spiritual path and turns inward."

Like evolution, involution has certain states and stages, consisting of "planes" and "realms." But individuality continues along this spiritual path, and there are as many ways to God as there are souls.

Each new plane denotes a state of being that differs from the states that proceeded it. The first three planes are within the subtle world or domain of energy, "pran." There follows the fourth plane, the threshold of the mental world, where misuse of great power for personal desire can lead to disintegration of consciousness.

The fifth and sixth planes represent true sainthood, which is understood to be increasing intimacy with God as the Beloved. On the sixth plane, the mind itself becomes the inner eye that sees God everywhere and in everything. "The loving of God and the longing for His union," says Meher Baba "is fully demonstrated in the sixth plane of consciousness."

The seventh plane marks true and lasting freedom. Impressions go. Duality goes. The drops burst and again become the Ocean. God answers his question of "Who am I?" with "I am God." The Infinite has returned to the original starting point. He now knows, however, with full consciousness and full awareness that he was, is and always will be infinite with infinite Knowledge, Power and Bliss. And he realizes that the entire journey has been an illusory dream, the purpose of which is the full awakening of his soul.

Answer 3

Unlike an animal who just lives their life according to instinct, I think we have the capacity to ask ourselves why are we here while living our life. My answer to your question is both.

Answer 4

It's your life.  Live it out loud.

Answer 5

We are just above the animal by Conscious thought.

We can be greater then what we are by aliening ourselves with that which is greater.

There is within all normal minds a spark of Deity, a mystery Monitor, the Spirit of God who will lead us to the worlds beyond and to His Home in Paradise if we will have faith.

Answer 6

Most people are just living life.Those who try to figure out why are the seekers.

Answer 7

One would actually imply the other.  Life is naively presume to be individual and unique from person to person.  It is rarely consider that life is shared by all living things in the moment.

Answer 8

Are we letting life run us? or is it our kingdom?

Egos only think they are in charge. God hands it over to us.

Answer 9

Some live their lives, others exist in life and others are consumed by their lives. Its up to each one of us to figure out how to make the most of each day and become the best we can be.

Life is not cured its planned. Most people to plan to fail they just fail to plan.

Happy living
