Is our purpose to solve the Mystery of our existence or to simply live the Mystery?

Question

What are your thoughts? Thank you.

Answer 1

Live the mystery and enjoy the magic. Wasn't Christmas much more fun when the magic of Santa and all the trappings were real?? Isn't a movie more enjoyable when you forget you are watching something made up?

Same with life. Why do we need to explain every little detail of why or how we exist? Why is it so important for science to disprove God.

Lets just chill and enjoy the ride.

Answer 2

The purpose of course is the interest you will ask in it. If you ask the mystery what is in the answer, you could care if you get it, or if you didn't you could be a morph in a cage of characters in spacetime

Answer 3

I think that our purpose is to simply live in the mystery of our existence, in turn solving it.

Answer 4

We all strive to know that, I think about that too. I think that it is our goals to try and find out the mystery of existence...

Answer 5

We can participate in the mystery,we are not born to solve it.

Answer 6

i dont know about that 'our' I had figured out by seven years old that for me   living with the mystery is great. I dont know that we have to have common aims.

I think relationship to the mystery has to be a private affair we each need something different from it.

Answer 7

simply live the mystery with its mysteries,life goes on and never stops and wont sure stop for us if we kept asking what life is,life are moments make the best of them for yourself,for your religion,and for the whole world

Answer 8

Maybe our purpose is to revel in the mystery.

Answer 9

I used to say that life, on earth, was a cosmic accident, a wonderful accident but accidental, in any case.

Now, I wonder if life, of some sort, in not the norm throughout the universe. I haven't read an assessment by probability mathematics regarding the likely hood of life existing everywhere, in either our Galaxy or others, but it appears that the probability exists in the vastness of space.

Two primary human assumptions, one, that we are somehow alone and the other that life has some purpose appears to be the result of human ignorance and our well developed Ego.

I say, we enjoy the accident and make of it what we can because if it occurs elsewhere, we are obligated to advance as it appears we are slowly doing.

Answer 10

I've given up trying to solve the elusive mysteries of the universe a long time ago. What is going to happen is going to happen.

Answer 12

Live the Mystery..........

I don't think man is capable of understanding what information he may find from the Mystery of our existence..........................

not saying ignorance is bliss, but I feel that maybe it wasn't meant for us to....not yet anyway.....

Answer 13

Life is a wonderfull mystery in itself. We have a tendency to go beyond and look for the hidden answers, this is what makes us unique. When the mystery is solved we will continue on to solve more mysteries. It is a never ending cycle.

One thing for sure is the wonderous things to come to light the short time ahead!

Answer 14

I have always believed that God in his infinite mercy gave us Life to Live it as we saw fit, but he was going to be looking at how we Lived that God giving Life, I am just grateful to the almighty for giving me this precious Life and I  have no regrets, I know that my Mother was always Hitting us for no apparent reason, and we sometimes we did not have too much to eat, so to me I guess my Mother was the way she was with us, because of the Depression. When I got Married at the age of Sixteen, it was as if I was going to enter into a new Life which would be better than the one I grew up in, and it was. My Husband and I, had seven kids, and we raised them with the help of God, not knowing if we were going to be able to give them what they deserved, but, we gave them all a good Upbringing and a good Education, which now when we see them they all have their careers, and are professionals in their fields. I had never wondered, why we were here or what we needed to do, so to us, my Husband and I, there was never a Mystery in our existence or live wondering why were here, we knew, and to us that was enough. Thanks for your question.

Answer 15

You can solve it and I will live it and when youve solved it can you let me know the answer to this question?

Answer 16

Our purpose is to find our purpose...each soul has a different path. We all have a duty to take care of each other...and all have a dream...or should have, other than that we are here to experience the mystery, collect the information, and pass it on to our children....Namaste

Answer 17

Neither because there is no mystery we were not put here for some sort of purporse there is no meaning to life we just wish there is because it makes life easier for us.

You have no purporse you just exist.

Answer 18

The questing (or questioning) lays the steppingstones down before us to move along the journeying within the Mystery, much as taking a trip relies on maps and signs.  Yet, the irony is that we are the Mystery all along and need not even go out from ourselves in pursuit of the unknown destination, for it is "here," we are "here," and there is nowhere to go.  All the planning, all the preparation, all the dreams of discovering the hidden territory are unnecessary...no tickets need be purchased nor guides hired to show the way.  You, i, we are already there, living It as It lives us, breathing It as It breathes us...there is no distance to go, no time to be spent in the great wandering journey.  Namaste...

i am Sirius
