Why Are We Here?

I like this quote:

“Instead of seeing life as a harsh training school for wayward souls or a karmic wheel we might one day eventually escape (if we are lucky enough or good enough, or merely as a statistical accidnet with no inherent meaning or purpose, we instead see life as a wondrous gift. We are not here to be good or perfect. We are not here to prove ourselves worthy. We are not here to serve others (at our own expense) or to save the world. We do not have to earn or deserve love. We do not have to “behave well” or conform to external rules and expectations. In a loving universe we can relax. We are safe. We are worthy. We are loved without condition. We are cosmic voyagers on a magnificent adventure in physical reality and –as creative sparks of the divine–we can have, do or be anything we wish. No limits. No strings attached. We can create our own heaven on Earth. And the key to doing so is unconditional love–for self, others and the world.”
