Topic: Purposelessness

[TIOTIT]

Purposelessness in Infinite Existence Reality is Existence infinite and eternal. Existence has no purpose by virtue of its being real, infinite and eternal. Existence exists. Being Existence it has to exist. Hence Existence, the Reality, cannot have any purpose. It just is. It is self-existing. Everything—the things and the beings—in Existence has a purpose. All things and beings have a purpose and must have a purpose, or else they cannot be in existence as what they are. Their very being in existence proves their purpose; and their sole purpose in existing is to become shed of purpose, i.e., to become purposeless. Purposelessness is of Reality; to have a purpose is to be lost in falseness. Everything exists only because it has a purpose. The moment that purpose has been accomplished, everything disappears and Existence is manifested as self-existing Self. Purpose presumes a direction and since Existence, being everything and everywhere, cannot have any direction, directions must always be in nothing and lead nowhere. Hence to have a purpose is to create a false goal. Love alone is devoid of all purpose and a spark of Divine Love sets fire to all purposes. The Goal of Life in Creation is to arrive at purposelessness, which is the state of Reality.  Meher BABA......

Many years ago I did a journey with the mushroom ally and was shown more or less this same concept.  At one point the voice of the ally said to me, "This is what eternity is:  existence without purpose, without cohesion.  Sure that's what you want?"

I wrestled with that thought for a long time that night (centuries), and finally came to the conclusion that existence itself is the only purpose:  the experience of existence.

The only way to defeat the paradox is to become the paradox.

Good post.

Thats an interesting observation and I think an older thread I did which I stumbled upon yesterday was about 'finding our purpose.' Did it long ago. It does seem to be an empty proposition that we dont really have a specific purpose. It does make more sense that while we live we create any form of purpose in existence. But the nature of existence is being. It is, without any specific direction, how can one say existence is anything other than that? To define it is like trying to define the unknown, and how can we do that?

I feel like existence falls into the mysteries of the unknown. Life in itself is riddled in mystery, unabounding.
