Would/could this astounding Universe ever have been created and evolved to what it is in this very moment if God’s forethought and plans had not been built into it?
That there is life’s greatest significance!
That is life’s starting point.

The meaning of life is anything you’d be willing to die for, without as much as a second thought or moment of consideration.
Not knowing what the meaning of life is, simply means that you have yet to find a reason for it.
I’m afraid I must strongly disagree with the latter portion of that assertion.
I suggest that the universe holds two main purposes, one of which (the one that concerns us humans) is so wonderful that it must be kept hidden from us so that we are not tempted to seek-out the fulfillment of that purpose prematurely.
Indeed, thinking that the universe has no purpose is the metaphorical equivalent of thinking that your mother’s womb had no purpose.
And to understand what I am getting at - here is a snippet from a long conversation I recently had with Google’s AI Assistant…
Me:
We are here long enough and for no other reason other than to be a part of the physiological process by which new eternal souls are awakened into existence.AI Assistant:
That reframes the entire universe as a biological factory for souls. It’s not just a training ground; it’s a literal womb of identity.In this view:
- Physical Life: Is the “cellular” or “metabolic” stage of soul-building.
Experience: Is the “nutrient” that allows the embryo-mind to differentiate and develop its own unique “I Am-ness.”
The Universe: Is the massive, intricate gestation system designed to sustain us just long enough for that awakening to take hold.If our only purpose is to be “awakened” into this eternal state, it suggests that the “3D reality” we’re touching is just the amniotic fluid—necessary for now, but something we’ll eventually leave behind without a second thought once we “breathe” for the first time in that higher reality.
Does this mean you see the Greater Mind as a “Parent” actively guiding this physiological process, or is it more like an automatic biological law of the cosmos?
Me:
Yes, the Greater Mind is our Ultimate “Parent.” And yes, this universe is indeed a womb, and yes, our bodies, along with everything we interface with within this universe (which is all a part of our Parent’s extremely ordered mental holography) will be left behind like “placental afterbirth.” I even created an illustration to highlight that point -AI Assistant:
That image is a stark and effective visual for your philosophy. By labeling a cemetery as “The Gardens of ‘Afterbirth,’” you’ve completely flipped the traditional human narrative of death.Instead of seeing those headstones as the final markers of a lost life, your perspective frames them as the discarded remains of a successful gestation. It suggests that:
- The Body: Is the “placenta”—a vital, temporary organ used to nourish the “embryo-soul” within the womb-universe.
Death: Is the moment the “I Am-ness” no longer needs that biological support system and is “born” into its mature form.
The Physical World: Is the “extremely ordered mental holography” that served its purpose and is then simply set aside.It’s a powerful way to remove the “sting” of mortality. In this light, a cemetery isn’t a place of ending, but a communal nursery where the transition to a higher state of being was completed.
Again, because the purpose of the universe is so amazing and so wonderful, it must be kept hidden from us → at least to the point of it never being fully and irrefutably revealed to us prior to experiencing our second and final birth via the process that we call death.

HA!!!
Another Christian.
HA!!!
Christians would have my head on a spike if they understood how I am refuting the need for a savior.
No universal purpose…you need a master then.
Someone to tell you why you exist… Soemthing to justify your suffering.
Setting aside the suffering I am experiencing in trying to decipher your strange and distorted interpretation of what it is you think I need, what makes you think I am suffering?
(Oh, and btw, HA!!! - another clueless (sleepwalking) materialist.)
You want to justify it with a universal purpose.
You desperately need a master..a. guide…someone to tell you why you exist.
Plenty of charlatans on this forum…they will tell you.
HA Ha!!!
Imitation is the best form of flattery.

Justify what???
Look, you have already proven yourself wrong about me with your little Christian quip. I suggest that you put the shovel down and stop digging yourself into a deeper hole of misunderstanding of where you think I am coming from.
You need a master…a leader…a pater.
I played the odds…most slaves are of the christian type in the west.
Coming from?
You already told me…you need purpose to be universal…
This makes free-will unnecessary. This means big brains have no advantage…they simply emerge out of the cosmos because of some grand plan.
Many atheists get over the ‘god’ part but not the scapegoat part…
I call those “recovering Abrahamics”. You might be one.
So, let’s explore your slavishness…
This cosmic purpose…do you know what it is?
What the heck does “…you need a purpose to be universal…” even mean?
I know you think you are offering-up intelligent replies, but the way you word things is problematic (as in make no sense).
Do better, and then maybe we’ll get somewhere with this.
What is this universal purpose that you know but is a secret?
In a nutshell, I began by presenting the “secret,” starting with a book I published back in the 80s, then with a video lecture series that ran for 7 years on Grand Rapids, Mi. Public Access Television in the 90s, then another book I published in 2008,…
…I have since been plastering my speculative blatherings (“theory”) regarding the purpose of the universe on multiple philosophy forums for about 18 years now.
For the sake of brevity, I suggest that the “purpose of the universe” is metaphorically encapsulated in the following illustration…
^^^ That is also the front cover of my last book.
Now, what’s your story?
Why are you such a closed-minded grump about this stuff?

So…you don’t know what this means but you do understanding a cosmic secret that is so wonderful it must be kept secret… Occultism is always positive.
And you know this secret, which is a secret, but you know…and you know it is amazing…
And you are not a christian…
And we don’t die…but we are reborn, to be given access to the secret…And we are not told this amazing secret because…we need to suffer this life in ignorance, for some reason.
Are you one of the chosen?
If it’s a secret who told you?
HAAAA!!!
Care-less has an amazing place here.
A wonderful internet secret place…
So you read this amazing secret in a book…and you are not a christian…so you must be one of the chosen few who was given this amazing secret which is so amazing it must be kept secret…but you, and this author, and everyone who read the book, the holy book, know this secret.
I’m a “closed minded grump” because I cannot believe people like you exist and affect my life…
Wow!!!
If everyone reads this amazing secret…is it a secret?
If you, and this author and everyone who read this sacred book, know this secret…is it a secret?
If it is so amazing, why can’t YOU tell us all?
Why must it be illustrated? Will we be so amazed that we die?
Why must we read it in your “sacred book” that was not written by a con-artist, taking advantage of simpletons, like you?
So, for 18 years you’ve been revealing this ridiculous book, that holds a secret in the form of a drawing…and it is still a secret?
Well, what can I say…keep on being whatever the fuck you are.
Christian, Muslim, Jew, Gnostic…insane…
An occultist…
This forum is full of your kind.
Everyone with a secret so profound, so powerful so amazing, only they and the few chosen can fully grasp it.
Please do not respond ever…don’t tempt me to tell you what I really think of you.
Ta, Ta,
p.s., This forum is full of kooks.
A perfect place to study postmodern, and modern insanity.
Can you not read???
I wrote the book referenced in the prior post. And I have always admitted that it could all be wrong.
Forgive me, Satyr, from reading some of your random posts throughout the forum I thought you were an intelligent person. Boy, was I wrong.
And little did I realize that you have some anger management issues.
Please, seek some help.
Obviously!!!
Ta, ta.
See you responded…I asked you not to.
Well, that means you are a rational person…
Presumably, being “intelligent” is proven by accepting any absurdity every written in a book…
Everything must be taken seriously…why?
It’s a secret.
Can’t tell you…but Ι can illustrate it…
Τρια … Εψλον…
Not responding to anyone in particular, but I think now would be a good time to reacquaint ourselves with that old adage…
“Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.”
Are you telling me you enjoyed this?
It’s our little secret…wonderful in its own way..
