By loving those that we "bump" into on our journey - therby returning it to him. That is borne out by Jesus words in Revelation "that you did for the least of my brothers - you did it for me" and it addresses the "karma" of the Lord's prayer.
This is what I'm talking about: reading the Scriptures without religiousity! Your Life is putting it all together. Who knows? Maybe this existence is the cocoon.

Journey... leave...good times... forever...
Is my translation bad ?
lol alpha, no offense, but your way off. it's "let the good times roll" cajun french is a slang form of true french. it's sometimes hard to translate cajun french if you don't know the language. thanks for trying though.
What a great question! Perhaps the ultimate "purpose" is to then experience the "pull of opposites" without becoming lost within the the opposites. One can be aware of one's true nature and still fully taste duality. That's what transcendence is - it embraces duality but is not confined to it. One who is awake to their true nature fully embodies the experience of duality but such experience no longer imprisons them within it.

Yes, Bigdreaux.......LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!
Poppers
experience no longer imprisons them within it.
What does this mean? What do you mean by "imprisons"? Do you mean to experience existence without the emotion? If this is the case, then again, you may be missing the purpose?
bigdreux: Isn't it funny how people think all people from NO are cajun?
Perhaps some are interpreting that to awaken to ones true Identity is to become a zombie detached from the multifaceted expressions of existence. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
In line with what poppers already expressed, awakening to our real Self, dissolves the walls that make life seem as something separate and outside. We are the movement of life; all of it. Yet more than that, closer than that, we are the pristine awareness and stillness which all life moves and flows within. It seems paradoxical. It has to be experienced first hand.
I wouldn't allow anything we might imagine awakening to be, to detour us from discovering for our selves; as it is nothing the mind can imagine.
