Such an interesting angle on our purpose. But because it is our essence that is primary to purpose, why do we get encumbered with a body in the first place? I am intrigued about the purpose of that…!
Thanks Anne. I don't pretend know why "we get encumbered with a body", but me sense and experience is that we are called to freely reach the understanding of our original nature in an environment that responds to us, and from which we learn our true nature. It seems that sometimes that process of learning freely is incredibly painful. I think love and freedom go together. One cannot exist without the other. We are challenged by life in the body to move towards that understanding and more importantly, the experience of both...love and freedom.

Appreciate how you ground purpose. What is underneath the mind? What makes up your orchestra?
