Nope. There is no purpose to life at all. Life is just a discovered condition with no reason behind the discovery. Life is nothing more than a prison to the awareness that is capable of understanding that it exists, and as the awareness comes to understand its condition of existing, it also comes to understand that it does not possess the key to its prison...the reason and purpose for its existing.
So the awareness, lacking the key to its prison, invents a mythology, one by which it persuades itself (literally because it lacks the key) it will be set free by some external agency, and abide ever-after in eternal bliss or eternal damnation. What utter self-delusional bunkum!
There are three certainties to life: the knowledge that one exists; the knowledge that one will not exist; and the knowledge that the former two provide, that at some point prior to existing, one did not exist at all. If there is a key to the prison of awareness, then this knowledge is it.
The only purpose you can give to your existence is the 'how' you live it. It is not a test. There is no examination at the end. There is just the same prior total oblivion awareness dissipates into. Life is nothing more than a brief flaring of awareness that is quickly snuffed out.

We are here to glorfy God
But almost everyone glorifys themselves
You imply that a theory is the basis of reasoning.
...we have experience that is the teaching methodology of life.
A human being demonstrates via its own mind state that it can consider information regarding powers greater than itself...
The experience of life was considered spiritual because of self experience...

No. You do. I imply nothing.

Agree.

Not by any stretch of the imagination (and it is only an imagining) are whatever we can fantasise real. There are just fantasies, nothing more.

The experience of life is entirely somatic, not spiritual. Mental constructs do not arise until the body experiences, then the mental life follows, both are assimilated as memory which is destroyed at death. All the the drugs that shamans take and all the supernatural fantasies can never make the experiences real...they are illusions.
The rest of your post is a nonsensical diatribe. Why don't you come back down to earth and live the life you were born into, others may be depending on you that you do.
Are you now making comments about how your own ancient male self gained illusionary information that they used and it attacked them?
Does spirit change the chemical responses in our human mind...of course they do...

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about...none at all; but here's the kicker, neither do you. You think you understand something? You think you are privy to some kind of knowledge, because you think you have had an experience from which you have gained knowledge, and thus you think you are enlightened? You're not enlightened, just misinterpreting your experience, and fitting thoughts to the experience to support the delusion you want to be real. You are not on your own, billions around the world do it.

What? Do you not perceive how all this crap you talk you make up to fit the perception of your belief? It is delusional, and it is the worst kind of delusional, because it is 'self' delusion. Like I have already stated though, you are not on your own, most of our species are self-delusional.
Spirit? What the hell is that? You have no idea, but I bet you believe it to be that aspect of you that is doing all the thinking? Thinking that we are spirit is part of the self-delusion. It isn't real, just a misinterpretation of perceiving our own awareness, our own 'state' of being conscious. Once you come to accept this, once you come to accept and see through the illusions our perceiving of our own existence puts in front of us, only then can you count yourself as being enlightened.
Stop the addiction to self-delusion and just simply live this brief life the best you can. There is no rhyme or reason or purpose to it...it just is.

Are we on earth to do what people are doing today in the varieties of things? are we living a sin? whats our purpose of living?
Enough said get the bigger picture watching this
what do you think?
i hope this topic is posted in the right section.
Speak for yourself...which is what you are speaking as...your own awareness...consciousness and self review.
My condition of existence is exactly the same as yours, there's no difference, except in the interpretation of the perceiving of existing. You delude yourself, I don't. You are subjective, whilst I am objective. You rely entirely on self-evidence, I see no evidence of any rhyme, reason, or purpose to existence except to live it. Just live your life with a rhyme, reason, and purpose nature and your needs supply.
We are just units of repetition, each of us, with an added aspect of temporary self-awareness, but it is brief and certainly not eternal. Death ends it utterly, never to be saved or to return. Everything you write, validates everything I say.
My condition of existence is exactly the same as yours, there's no difference, except in the interpretation of the perceiving of existing.
why is it you think you can say for certain that we are all just temporary things that will disappear to never function as a physical being once we die?
What an over blown bag of bombastic bullsh1t?
It's not the same as mine if yours offers a bleak dismal existence...
