What is a Higher Purpose?
August 13th, 2008 | 
Author: I’ve been thinking about the first of the 10 lessons I wrote about yesterday.
You have a higher purpose.
What is it? Why do I need to be here for some higher purpose? I have a strong belief that there is a mystery behind life. Things were created for a reason, there is an energy which created all of it, and it is now the life inside of us. We are all made of that energy, and we all have it’s power; But this isn’t a higher purpose to me. To me a higher purpose means that there is something else I should be doing, that if I am not fulfilling my higher purpose I am somehow failing, and right now I really don’t know what this higher purpose is.
The passage yesterday spoke about cells dying in order to better serve the whole body. There are people I would die for if it came to that, I am quite sure of it. I am not so sure that I would die for this higher purpose, in what way would it be making the world better? It is an interesting way for Chopra to illustrate this point.
If I had to choose a higher purpose based on my beliefs it would be: To experience and create. We separate from God (or Source or whatever you want to call it) and come to this planet to experience and to create. I would also recommend remembering where we came from, but I guess that depends on what you want to experience.
