Purpose of life and after-life.

[Renaissance203]

Hello,

Could anyone explain to me, what is the purpose of life, as a human, and as a living being. Could there be a sweet and simple answer for this question? And also what about after-life?

I read some where that the meaning of life can be explained like this;“He takes birth, he strives and then he dies”…I also wonder that if the meaning of life is so simple, then there possibly cannot be a reason to believe in after-life. I had come to the conclusion that death might be the ultimate solution to all the striving amongst mortals, and I reasoned that there is not a need of after-life after death, and if believed in after-life and soul, then how come the population of earth is increasing day by day, is there a factory of souls in God’s house?

Eventually I had come to the conclusion that there could not be a single fixed solution or answer for the ever-changing universe. I believed that there could be an infinite number of explainations and solutions about the meaning of life…that no living being is different from the truth of mother nature, we all emerge from the same woumb and dissolve into it again. But I was thinking according to my brain. I had concluded that there need not be an existance of after-life, but I heard some stories of people remembering their past life experience etc, I shook them away like dirt…I was in no way going to beleive in such stories.

But then something happened in my life that perhaps no one would believe me. Believe it or not, but I have seen ghosts in my very house, both good and bad. I have seen the image of a dark strong-built figure that lifted my bed in air and grabbed my sisters feet and pulled my grandmothers hair. And on the same night I saw a bright white light of the size of a ping-pong ball frolicking in the air, but we felt no fear due to it…it went past my sister touching her cheeks, and my sister felt the sensation of a cold flame like thing. All this happened seven years ago. This happened only for a week, the last time we saw the bright white light, and we did not see anything after that. Then we forgot everything, and we were not afraid to live in the house…work and business made us forget everything.

But just a month ago when my sister went to bed and was passing those few moments before sleep, again after seven years she felt the bright white light brushing her cheeks with a cold sensation. My sister did not get afraid of it, because the white light never harmed us…we came to believe that it was the good soul. But I still wonder if there are two souls or just one. Not only this, recently our neighbours saw a dark big figure perching atop our house at midnight…Why this retun, I am alarmed again, but I cannot do anything about it. I still try to believe that there is no after-life, but my personal experiences and our ordeal with these ghosts has made me to ponder.

I do not care if someone does not believe my story, but I know what I saw. I still clearly remember the lifting of my bed, and that dark big figure, and that bright white light.

What does anyone tell about this? I live in India.

Thankyou,
Bhaskar.

Some of us may be more inclined to feel other planes of existance and the creatures or souls that live in those planes. As far as a factory of souls no I don’t think there is, I think if we work along the lines of planes of existance then souls may travel from one to another or land in between.
Your white ghost may be trying to extend the life of someone in the house while the dark is trying to fulfill its task of removing life. Some believe that, this is not the first time I have heard such a thing. Most call it good and evil or life and death. I really would not concern yourself unless you wish to waste precious time given. Forget about it , there really is nothing you can do unless a direct warning is given. Just live your lives and let these two spectors do what they must do.

What do you mean by “Purpose”

What do you mean by “Purpose”

The answer I am seeking. What is the meaning of living, and what is the importance of death. Is life a ongoing journey, or is it a one sided process.

What do you mean by the meaning of living?

It is quite simple man…there was big bang 13 billion years ago…then the laws of nature took over different galaxies and came into existence and then there was this planet called earth that was the right distance away from the sun that life was able to develop. Biological evolution took over and here you are today.

Biological evolution took over and here you are today.

Yes, this is the biological and metereological explaination…but the theory of big-bang or of evolution do not explain the supernatural things that I have experienced. Even I do not want to believe in supernatural things and afterlife, but it is the truth that I have experienced, my family has experienced.

I also give a side arguement that there is no clear seperation between human and animals, so even animals should have souls and afterlife which itself is against the thory of superstitious people who say that human are clearly different from animals. And then how is the population increasing on earth, that means if souls are assumed to be some form of energy, then energy is not being conserved. It goes against the laws of physics. So I am really seeking some answers.

How could I deny what I have seen and experienced seven years ago, and now again. I cannot deny, and believe me I am not lying, there is no need for me to lie. I live in the far-east and there is no need for me to lie before you guys.

Renassaince,

I do believe that you saw those things. I don’t know how things are in India but in the western world we have psychological explanations, proven science to cover those things. Such as Sleep paralysis, or other plenty of other things that could cause hallucinations. Perhaps there was a gas leak in your house that caused you all to hallucinate…Or you were just a child at the time (maybe?) and children do have the wildest imaginations…and then later on they can’t tell what was real or what they imagined …its called confabulations.

I’m just throwing things out there, but there are plenty of possible and far more likely possibilities that there is a natural explanation to what you saw and that it was not something supernatural.

whats the purpose of life? striving for sucess.

[Trevor_W]

is life an ongoing journey? call me from yesterday and tell me what its like.

life is an irreversible progress of experiances. some while awake, some not, some in the middle. “are you paying attention?”

How I wish I could make you realise what happened at my home. And it is not atall modest to introduce the “superiority” of west over my culture. You say you have psychological explainations for everything, but then most of the time I see such stupid horror shows and hollywood movies from the west. You really know nothing more about the world other than your superiority complex about America. India is not that backward as you may think. I was not a kid them I was about 16 year old.

Big-bang theory seems to be your only aid in trying to explain everything…very narrow-minded approach, I say.

What you are really asking for is someone to absolve you from the responsibility of finding your own purpose; someone to save you from the burden of your own freedom.

Thing is if someone gives you a purpose, it is no longer your purpose.

Freedom entails the task of creating your own.

[oldphil]

The purpose of life is to find out what the purpose of life is. We will only find that out when we die. By then it’s to late and you dont realise you have answered life’s ultimate question because you are dead.

I have thought already this way. But I cannot say if its true or not, maybe I would know when I am dead. But then the greatest contradiction about thinking this way is that nature by default does not create such solutions which maybe suicidal. So I dont think that nature holds such an answer for which you need to be dead.

The purpose of life is to survive and go on its that simple. Of course you can do what you did and type several paragraphs to validate your own beleafs. And no there isnt an afterlife its just something you guys made up to satisfy your own egos about how overimportant you think you all are.

And the reason there isnt an afterlife beacuse in nature it serves absolutly no purpose. Things can only exist if they follow the rules and purpose of the universe. That be like saying our own galaxy is actually made of milky way candy bars(ya i know your gonna say but its not the same).

Yes Sir, I myself too wonder that there is no purpose of an afterlife, you are right that afterlife does not serve any logical purpose. I dont want to believe in afterlife, but I have my experiences about what happened in my home. I am sorry that I cannot convince you, but it is totally luck to experience something like ghosts, and believe me, you piss your pants if you ever expirience hostile ghosts. I have. I am sorry if I cannot convince you about that. Really sorry.

Hi Renaissance203. You said, “Could anyone explain to me, what is the purpose of life, as a human, and as a living being. Could there be a sweet and simple answer for this question?”

The ultimate purpose of life is to provide a theatre for the individual to reunite with God in a direct “one on one” relationship with Him.

You said, “…And also what about after-life?”

The purpose of the after life is to secure the residency of individuals after their body dies on earth (i.e. after physical death). passion

Thankyou for your words, Sir. But your version is not unheard(that’s definitely not a criteria!) You sound more like the Hindu preachers…just you miss out rebirth. Could there be a purpose of rebirth…logic does not tell yes, but again logic might be decieving in certain cases.
