Question: How are we experiencing/feeling/living life? What are we?
Answer: Thank you for the beautiful question that grabs the core of our existence!
We are “sentient/emotional” creatures, our “matter”, the engine that drives us is an overwhelming desire for pleasure for ourselves. We want to “feel good”, and we justify our existence and the existence of reality around us through the sense of “happiness”, contentment, having our desires, necessities pleasantly fulfilled.
Thus our mind – that unique, conscious, analytical, curious, Human part in us – runs by a very deterministic “pleasure/pain” software, directing this emotional creature – by scrutinizing, sorting, cataloging, preparing our emotional impressions – towards increasing pleasures while driving us away from perceived or expected pain, suffering. This is how we exist, pursuing a simple day to day survival.
But only at a certain, more developed point do we receive a chance to go beyond this instinctive program and start examining what the overall purpose of our life is, what our truly Human goal is above following the inherent “pleasure/pain” software.
Only there do we realize that our overall Human experience is to become selfless, transparent, objective observers of ourselves and the reality around us, fully justifying, “blessing” the existence of both the system and ourselves by reaching the state of absolute, infinite contentment, happiness where there is no doubt, there is no pain, there is no suffering, only an all-encompassing sense of “good”, a taste of pleasure that obliterates any other “negative” sensation in a way that even “past sufferings” turn purposeful, pleasant as they were necessary for us to reach that final perfect state.
And in the process we learn that the “system”, the vast, cosmic, Natural reality around us has always been perfect, but we weren’t able to perceive it, as we were born with an “unripe”, “half-cooked”, imperfect perception of reality. And it is only in the last, conscious phase of Human development _which started in our generation – that we receive the free choice, conscious, proactive ability to “finish” the installation of a perfect perception of reality, by constantly “requesting”, demanding updates from Nature’s evolution.
The true Human being is born, starts with this conscious developmental phase, with the repeated, intolerable recognition of the need for upgrades which we actively “download” from evolution for ourselves. At the end – by completing the upgrades, the installation of the perfect Human perception of reality – we develop a perfect Human consciousness, which through receiving, digesting the perfectly content, “happy” emotional impressions – directly sensing reality as it is, perfect, infinite and eternal – can justify and “bless” reality and one’s own existence, role.
