The Search for the Absolute
The search for the absolute is vain and barren. There is only the unfolding. I don’t speak of my purpose in life. Probing more deeply into the implications of purpose reveals that having a purpose implies that we are moving along, going somewhere. That leads to the thought that we are moving toward something, some end point, some pinnacle of achievement or fulfillment. It is not necessary to limit oneself with a belief in an overall purpose. What is the purpose of an oak tree? None of us are really going anywhere. Where would we go anyway? We are Earthlings, we are home.
However, if one chooses to adopt a purpose then perhaps it might be to simply expand our awareness.
