We are in the world to overcome the world, to rise up in consciousness, to become Enlightened, and participate from the mind of the Creator as equals and Co-Creators, that is the sole meaning and purpose of life.
But driven by our five outward oriented senses, that are fully attuned to the outer realm man has become detached from the Spiritual inner realm and has become immersed in the outer or material realm. Man has become totally dependent on externals, and has abandoned the inner life. To meet his ego perceived needs man depends upon external government, law, worldly religions and technology. All these external forms demand conformity, obedience and an externally imposed ethic and morality, all of which causes the death of inner growth and creativity.
If we are to attend to and pursue the true meaning and purpose of life all of these externalities must be abandoned and we must seek fulfillment by following the inner, or narrow path and elevating our state of consciousness. We must develop inner structures and an inner morality and ethic based upon compassion and Love, which can only be achieved by elevating our level of consciousness to a state that taps into the source of Love and Compassion, which is God. We cannot choose to be more loving and compassionate, our Hearts must be filled through the experience of Love and Compassion from its source.
Our reliance on outer structures must be replaced by following the inner way, the path of inner confrontation or Spiritual Warfare, where good vs evil. It is the path of Individuation where we confront the source of all evil, our ego and bring it into subservience to the Authentic Self. We must unify all the split off aspects of our True Self which were repressed in early childhood by the ego into consciousness where they can be reunified with our True Self, and create an integrated, unified internal structure that is whole and complete. The purpose of evil is disunity and disintegration, while the purpose of good is Unity and Integration, a life fully integrated with the source of all life, a life whose purpose is to serve life itself. We were born into the world to pursue the inner path and grow through all the stages of consciousness, from infancy, childhood, adolescence and finally maturity where we truly can become the Sons of God, living in a conscious state of Unity, unified in purpose, life serving life.
