Why Are You Here?

[TransmutingSoul]

It is a question that has been asked of me, so I start with my answer. It could be put in many ways.

I always consider the roots of faith. I see that the Prophets and Messengers are from God and are the source of Oneness, yet those Messages are also the sword that divides.

Then I consider that I live in a world of opposites, knowing that I have a choice between right and wrong, good and evil happiness and sadness etc.

So why would one promote an ideal that one knows will be either be embraced, or most likely rejected? That lays in the essence of what it is to have Faith.

The soul purpose of my life has become the promotion of unity in a very divided world, in the knowledge that as I am part of that world, it is most likely that no matter what I do, I too will be the source of some of that division.

In the end though, that is why I am here, to promote the unity of the entire human race, in sharing key thoughts of how that can become a reality.

Why are you here?

I dunno. I never had orientation.

Focus can be hard to find, the compass of the world is spinning out of control!

All the best.

Because there is a wealth of characters, some threads are quite good, others are fun, and some RF members are genuinely wonderful people.

This may happen to sound really crazy

Similar to you; I consider humanity to be between sovereignty and unity among our eternal progress to become God. Transmuting Soul, I am here exactly for the same reason: to be an advocate for my beliefs, and although you're a Baha'i and I am an Exaltist, there's probably a lot of common ground between our spiritual endeavors. The only real difference I see between us is that you believe that God is becoming closer to man, whereas I believe that humanity is becoming that God we seek for.

Why are you here?

I came here to enlighten everyone and receive scrutiny of my ideas.
Now I'm here to interact with the nice folk and try to ask interesting questions, and get enlightened myself.

You are yourself one of the genuine wonderful people in RF

I like to hear peoples opinions,what matters to them or doesn’t,some sense of humour and some serious debate with people from different parts of the world.

I came here to enlighten everyone ...

Given that you posted this in the "General Debates" forum ...

... oh, never mind. ​

@TransmutingSoul

Just curious, why is this in general debates? I can't see anyone debating each other over this topic.

I have found that also to be so.

Mostly for entertainment.

One of my thoughts is that I do not want to exclude anyone from a discussion. I also do not mind critical observation of what I offer, as it helps me determine more about my own self.

Sometimes a discussion only forum keeps people back from posting a reply.

Then sit back, pick up the popcorn and let us deliver.

All great pursuits. Some find the Aussie dry humour hard to fathom.

That is indeed what we face with our personal journeys, the ability to adapt and change is a bounty.

Yes it is indeed a relative journey in life. The more we share, the more we can understand our own selves.

For occasional discussion. I've always been interested in other people's views and beliefs, what makes them tick.
