Since I was four/five, it had always felt funny that I should be here. I never did and will never understand the purpose of existence. It seems our ego tries to justify that we need to exist, we are beautiful, we are to serve the greater good, to be one with God, we need to learn lessons, compassion, etc, etc. I am now inclined to think that our creator really just had nothing better to do, It's all a big practical joke, an amusement park ride, a game. I have read many books and interviews and often surprised that not one seem to even question the basic fundamental essence of being.
Questions:
Why do we exist? What makes us exist, who decides? Why would the creator be silly to not build perfect beings who already knows everything there is to learn? No problem on earth (or anywhere else) is unique or original anymore...why are we so willing to be created only to be subjected to similar entrapment? Why must there be lessons to be learn? Nothing should matter if we don't exist in the first place, shouldn't it? Whom are we really slaves to and what is the grand plan?
We exist because it is our very essence. The decision is not made but simply it is as it is. I am that I am. You can never be anything other than existence otherwise you would not exist in the first place.
You are already a perfect being. You, are in essence, whole and complete. You have all possibilities in potentiation, you may as you are the plenum for manifestation of anything and everything. Yet if the mind is not balanced then the entity will be distorted. Realization of completeness will bring about grace and perfection - this takes practice.
The Creator is the principle of infinity focused into a point of awareness from this point of awareness the Creator inevitably desires to know itself as infinity cannot simply understand itself without seeing the contrast and the reflection betwixt itself. Thus the Creator divides itself into an endless continuum of finite experiences and fragments - because the Creator is infinite all begins and ends in mystery the Creator will never completely understand itself but will always become more and more aware of itself.
The grand plan is simple. The Creator wishes to know itself as the Creator - it is, in the deepest sense, love learning about love.
The lessons and struggles that we experience are beautiful gifts that teach us about love, about ourselves, about the Creator.edit on 16-3-2013 by 11118 because: (no reason given)

It could be genius...or pure evil. Most seem to [like to] believe the former or something positive. It's always the ego thing...how can we ever be slaves to anything less than love, compassion, brilliance? But there's just possibility that it's all illusion. Like chickens thinking that they are raised because they deserve the feed. When the time comes, they are all harvested.

I would ask him to step back, rewind the movie and question how does "this" come into being? Why? Why couldn't it all come into non-being instead- ie. why couldn't "this" not exist? Who decides? Then how did this decision maker came into being? Why? Why couldn't this decision maker not exist? Then, who decides this decision maker to exist? And so on and so forth. Hey, just maybe we are all in a loop like a concept of free energy. A trigger of one small energy feeds itself in a continuous cycle. The only way to stop existing is break the circuit? But how? ;P

Why, how and who are questions the seeker asks. The seeker asks questions because it feels incomplete.
Seeking is the action which makes a seeker. When the seeking drops away so does the seeker - the individual which appears to be separate from the whole.
There is only ever the whole but the seeking makes it appear that there is more to know, more to find. There isn't.
This is it. Here it is but the mind can never be satisfied with what is, it wants to know why.
No one knows how or why but it keeps the mind busy and it keeps you lost.
Concepts are abstractions away from the truth. The mind will hate what Tony Parsons speaks because it will be the end of it's control over you.edit on 17-3-2013 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

Why would the seeker be deemed incomplete if he asks questions or the mind be judged lost if you should believe being curious and seeking must be part of 'what is'?
Nobody should hate what Parsons says. It is a perception and to believe in what he says or anything so dearly without the possibility of anything else is to allow that belief to control you and how you should be/think. Ironic, but true.

If you understood what Tony Parsons is saying you would lose 'your' life.
There is only aliveness - but you believe you 'have' a life. Which is two 'you' and 'life' - when the two become one the kingdom shall be revealed.

Interesting. Have you or Parsons lost 'your' lives? How does your feeling 'aliveness' differ from mine and how has that changed you personally? Do you feel you need to be? Can you exit from being?

Being is all there is.
Yes, Tony and I have both lost our individual lives. I am one with all that is - I am all that is - I am aliveness.
There is no worry or stress because I have no one to protect in the future - because one, there is no future and two, there is no me separate from what is happening.
The happening is happening presently as this.
The weight of carrying 'this life' you believe 'you have' is heavy - is it not?edit on 17-3-2013 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)
