What are you doing here?

[Chimerae]

To go where I'm asked to go and do what I'm asked to do and take it as a sacred charge to bring joy to the journey.

[Graelwyn]

To learn all the lessons I didnt manage to learn in my previous lives, one being how to overcome anger. To use my gifts to guide and teach others and help shine a light on their paths. This is my last incarnation, for those who believe in more than one incarnation.By the way, this is my first post, so hi to you all!

I think that I am here to understand that I have no way to know why I am here...

I agree 100%. Or should we really try to understand it all now? Or wait till the day comes? We just don't know

You know, it is said that ultimate reality is beyond the comprehension of the mind... because ultimate reality is absolute, whole... while the mind is split, because of its dualistic nature. This may cause some people to say that it's useless to even try to know what creation is all about. But Eastern mysticism tells us that you and your mind are 2 separate things. Western culture teaches us to heavily identify ourselves with our minds. Eastern mysticism, on the other hand, treats the mind as a barrier to knowing ultimate reality. It says the cause of all suffering stems from our identification with our minds, or egos. It's the very nature of the mind to be in conflict, because it thinks in terms of opposites- what we'd call duality. For instance, try to define *good*. *Bad* will always be a part of that definition. The 2 are inseparable. And this causes a great deal of conflict. In a dualistic world (or mind), it's impossible to live without conflict, because your whole foundation of understanding is based on opposites. So, in order to understand ultimate reality, and to move beyond conflict, you have to transcend the mind. This is the purpose (the original purpose) of such practices as yoga. Yoga is a science. You do certain exercises, or experiments, and you end up with certain results. This is why Buddha told his disciples, don't believe what I say just because I say it. Find out for yourselves through some sort of meditative practice. It's really a shame though that western culture, in particular, has turned yoga into nothing more than a fitness routine. Its potential is so much greater.

Why am I here?..hmmmmmm

Well I suppose I recognise the importance of this era and have decided that my participation would help the greater good.

Ill figure out where Im needed soon enough I suppose. Ive been through alot so there really isnt much that scares me / or things I am afraid of. So hopefully it will be toward something courageous. Life is typically so boreing.

Mainly I dont trust other people and as the old saying goes "if you want something done right, do it yourself." I want my say in  how the future of our world will turn out.
