What on earth are we here for? I began asking myself that question as soon as I was old enough to ask questions. As I got into my teen years I began asking other people that question and some folks were not so kind in their responses to me. But that's okay. They don't understand.
I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but the best thing I've come up with is that we are experiencing experience and we're all part of One God. We emanated from God, Infinite Intelligence, Higher Power, Allah. We live because God put breath in each of us and He will take it away. Each of us is a drop of water in the Infinite Sea of the Infinite One. We will go back into Infinite Intelligence when we completely remember Who We Are. In the meantime we experience the life extravaganza we imagine, good or bad. My choice is to imagine blessings, joy, love and lots of good things for my life. We all have free will and we can believe whatever we want. As ye believe, so shall it be done unto you.
It seems that God hid the truth in plain sight and gave us free will. God says to test Him out. "Prove me herewith saith the Lord of Hosts if I shall not open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing there shall not be room enough to receive it." God has left the door wide open and He has given us free will to decide for ourselves if we want to remember Him or not. He doesn't force Himself on us. All we have to do is give it a try.
The other thing that happens is cause and effect, or karma. What goes around, comes around. What we have done to others will be done to us, so to speak. "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." So do be careful what you say and do because it will surely come back to you. I do believe though that we can get off the wheel of karma, with complete surrender to God. Surrender in simple, but it's not easy.
Forgiveness is a huge part of complete surrender. Forgiveness is a decision and it begins to take hold little by little. You begin to notice yourself changing, thinking and behaving differently. Not because you have to, but because you are remembering who you are in God. I believe that it's all part of experiencing experience. Each of us are connected to every other person because we all emanated from God. Each of us affects each other. We are all part of One God.
Of course, most people aren't anywhere near feeling One with everyone else or God. But that's okay. All I'm here to do is present the thought. And now that you've read this, it has at been presented to you. Whether you agree, or give it a second thought is not up to me. You have free will. You can simply go on experiencing your experience.
