What Is the Purpose of Human Life?

Can we really know why we are here? Is there a deeper purpose to human existence beyond survival, achievement, and personal fulfilment?

Rupert says: ‘From the point of view of the Infinite, your purpose is to provide the vehicle through which its infinite potential is expressed in form. From your own point of view, your purpose is first to discover who you truly are and then to allow that understanding to shape your life naturally.’

‘When love is recognised, it cannot help but express itself. Love does not serve a higher purpose – it is itself the highest expression. At a relative level this may relieve suffering, but ultimately love shares itself simply because that is its nature.’
