Bliss is when we suddenly know, experience the truth. Many of us have had these experiences. Words have been and still are hard to find to explain these moments of bliss, generally we feel a connection to everything around us. To be part of a whole.
Astonishing for me was that with what we know today, we can explain this knowledge or gnosis with simple observations. These observations led me to a truth so simple in its core that it took me years to really, seriously examine it.
Now after almost a decade of bliss and astonishment I have to conclude that what first came to me is actually true.
Because of the constant bliss and astonishment I’ve been explaining my findings over and over again, coming from different angles, different religions, different philosophies all in all different mind-sets, telling us the same thing. This ‘Final Gnosis’ or ultimate knowledge of why we are here is in no way the end of our quest, it’s the beginning.
In short:
We now know that we’re a product of life’s evolution. Survival is the name of the game. To survive life needs to adapt to its ever changing surroundings, failure means death. The prevailing secular scientific western ideology claims that random changes within the reproduction process causes evolution. I’d like to contest to only one word here, and that is ‘random’. I do not deny any form of chance being part of our evolution, but the random should be replaced by the word serendipity.
Out here we learn that there is no definable goal or purpose to life, somehow it’s all in vain. These are the conclusions of people with no experience of original pain. These are supermarket induced philosophies. They are not able to see the source, because they never feel it.
Distinguished scientists, philosophers accept that we are the result of evolution, hence they know that to continue this billion year old ‘process’ we’ll have to leave the planet to survive. How funny is it that we are the first life forms that did just that.
When you think about it just briefly, you will know that without something like us humans, life will not be able to leave this planet.
So there you are, we, you and me, are part of an overall attempt to create a life form which is able to leave this planet. More simply stated; a life form that is capable to adapt to the seemingly infinite space surrounding our planet.
All this might sound a bit rough. Yes, it makes sense that humans have been evolved so as to adapt to the ‘universe’ but what initiated it?
In contrast to popular believe, life has a purpose. It’s purpose is to live. To adapt to whatever killed the dinosaurs necessarily created us, humans. The goal of life is closely related to the origin of life.
This origin of life will be my main focus point. It’s the life force or forces. These three forces culminated into us. They explain the trinity on several levels, being western traditions or eastern.
It is this trinity of consciousness that tells our story and explains our predicament. The shocker is that we’ve known about them forever, defined them, used them in metaphors over and over again.. but we never saw their significance until we finally reduced ourselves to what we are; products of millions of years of evolution and recent arrivals to the scene. Only as recent as 50 years ago, the cataclysmic history of life was unknown. During the seventies we first found evidence of major catastrophes almost ending life. The most well-known is the event 65 million years ago that killed off the dinosaurs.
In short; we’re here to make sure we will be able to survive whatever event that killed the dinosaur . Abrahamic religions call this God. Eastern thoughts name it the Tao.
But we are the source of it all.
The life forces that compel us to do what we do we’ve known for aeons. But our purpose transcends plain survival. To us life asks more than how to live. It asks us to sacrifice ourselves to a higher goal. So we submit to her will and seek a higher goal. This can only go on for so long. As soon as we ask ‘higher than what?’ the quest ends.
The purpose of life lies in her origins. When we define the life forces we’ll know our purpose.
Pain is the original instigator of life, lust is the preferable state to be in, fear is losing the preferable state.
When life began her first action was feeding. Not reproducing, but feeding. Extrapolate: why does life feed? Because if it doesn’t it grows hungry. Grows hungry from where? From lust. Pain and pleasure, the most common conundrums in search of meaning, lie at the core of life’s first interaction with her surroundings, feeding. Hunger is the force that forced her, but lust precedes hunger as we all know. When hunger and lust are experienced, fear will arise. Fear of pain, hunger.
Hunger, Lust and Fear are the trinity of our consciousness, to survive Love must follow. The other becomes crucial when we will have to leave Earth. So to love thy neighbour is a prerequisite for survival.
