I don't think purpose is necessarily given to us. I think rather, we find or own purpose or drive to lead us to what we wont to do in life/ existence. It is understandable that we are all given a genetic purpose/drive at birth, but this is only part of the story. The other parts come from the environment of any individual, and the choices of any individual.
The basic genetic drive is our own bodes positive and negative reinforcement through chemicals. This encourages/helps the body to stain its self, reproduce, and grow physically as well as psychologically. this is also affected by the individuals environment, were they live, what they eat, breath, and how others interact with them. This is also affected by our minds psychological choices such as how we chose to interact with the environment, learn, and how we use what we learn to improve the environment. Another thing that is worth studying about is how psychological drives can be created through the use of the "Self-fulfilling prophecy". Witch is also connected to the driving mechanisms that affects how a person is more likely to repeat a choice after they have made a choice, or quite possibly put, the choice was already made for them by their internment and preceding choices that they had already made [or we could just say this is the "likely hood of fate"]. As far as i can tell, if there is any moments in witch we have "free choice" it will be in the moment when we are free of restraints. Restraints that are affected my the "likely hood of fate". In other words the best moment in witch we are most free of restraints is the moment when we are not swayed to one choice or another by psychological information. rather we choose our choice on the premise that we are out of time to make a choice. and that we must make a choice but we do not know witch choice is better than another. So how does this relate to your question, it is important because in order to identify a "purpose" in life. it would make sense to learn about what is affecting the mechanisms behind how purposes can be crated. from out side elements as well as the ones that come from with in our own minds. I suspect that another not so well understood element that may be affecting the creation of choice is what lies behind the creation of thought. Thought witch is supported by emotions witch is supported by what many people call the soul/spark of life. Can be interchanged with the act of asking questions, were by, what the questions invoke is the creation of new thought or possibly put the brake down and subdivision of thought as we look closer and closer to the given subject we are looking at in our drive to better understand our environment as well as the act that encourages us to improve the internment. In other words the biological drive to better survive in a given environment is connected to driving the mind to continually look closer and closer to any given idea or thought, through the act of asking questions, to better understand the environment. And in the proses of examining and subdividing ideas we create new thought in the proses. The act of creating new thought or asking questions may vary well be the birth or gate way or link that is connecting to what people consider the soul or spark of life or in other words creativity. My advice to finding a "purpose" in your life would be simply just to ask questions, about every thing, and when you learn something new, ask the old questions again and make new questions. After all the act of asking Questions are also deeply involved in the creation of thought, emotion, and what many people would consider spiritual fulfillment. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
