What is the Purpose of Life?

April 3, 2021 by Steve Beckow

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

I don’t want you to have to search through this site to find a piece of information as valuable as this so let me state it at the outset of your journey here. (1)

Based on a vision I had in 1987, (2) the purpose of life was shown to me to be enlightenment, Self-Realization.

The purpose is for us to discover our true identity, to know who we really are.

It turns out who we really are – all of us, without exception – is God.

The larger purpose of life is that God should meet God in a moment of our enlightenment. For this greater purpose was life created.

That Friday morning, March 13, 1987, I was driving my car to work. (3) To make a long story short, I’d just asked the universe if life was a puzzle and, if so, what was the picture that life is?

Suddenly everything went black and I was drenched in bliss. In a wordless vision (outside of time), (4) I was shown the entire life journey of an individual soul from God to God.

It took me a decade to find words for the wordless (5) and another decade to assemble and organize what that research produced and write about it. (6)

It showed me that All are One, no one ever dies, everyone returns to God eventually – on and on the lessons unfolded from what almost seems in retrospect to have been an acorn seed, an exploding holographic cell.

I also had the inestimable privilege of having the Divine Mother, the Architect of the universe, confirm what I saw in the vision, thanks to Linda Dillon’s channeling: (7)

Divine Mother: You are one that, because of your adherence to Truth, likes to go to the Source. That is alright. That is the way it has been designed.

Steve:  … What is the way it has been designed, Mother? …

I mean, the Source, the One wants to know itself. Is that correct?… And it can’t because it’s everything. So it’s taken the aspect of Yourself and designed a universe in order for us to learn our true identities. The moment of Enlightenment is when God meets God. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: That is correct. … Yes, it is designed this way. (8)

When my feet touched the ground again, I found my life altered to align with the one mission, lifetime after lifetime – discovering who we are.

This blog then is founded upon and grows out of the knowledge of that overarching purpose of life. We serve everyone’s enlightenment and enlightenment itself. We think that doing so fulfills the Divine Plan for life.

Thank you for joining us on this journey back to the One. Make whatever use you will of this literature. Just get the word out.

  • “What is the Purpose of Life?” February 24, 2020, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2020/02/24/306794/

(3) Bliss lifts a person up and allows them to know things they could not see at a lower level of reality. When they come back down, they say, “I just realized….”

Because of the bliss, I just “knew” who the characters in my vision were – God the Father, God the Mother, and God the Child (the Trinity) – in Hinduism, Brahman, Shakti, and Atman.

I did not see or know this at the time but I was in a realized state. At the time I said this event was not a stage of enlightenment, but understanding more about the nature of enlightenment – or more particularly of realization and the role of bliss in it – I’ve pretty well changed my mind.

None of these events comes with roadsigns or a user’s manual. I actually have no firm idea of what the vision constituted, who sent it, or the chakra or dimension it related to.

Not like it matters. It’s the message of the vision that does.

(4) I know it was outside of time because it appeared to last around eight seconds but when I emerged and looked from side to side to see how far I’d travelled, because I know that part of Vancouver well, I knew I had not moved an inch. Therefore I was outside of time.

(5) Words for the wordless became the database From Darkness Unto Light at http://goldengaiadb.com/index.php?title=From_Darkness_to_Light

(6) Writing about it became The Purpose of Life is Enlightenment, ibid.

Observe and Love Without Getting Involved

  • The low vibrations of control, greed and deception are being overcome by the high vibrations of self-confidence, optimism and freedom as more and more of Earth’s peoples are absorbing light.
  • Light, the same energy as love, is Creator, the Source of All That Is—that is who you are, who every soul in the cosmos is—and the light you radiate is helping Earth’s peoples awaken into that reality.
  • By observing the ongoing drama of this process but not being drawn into it, you are further empowering yourselves, the peoples, and all other light beings in this universe. (Matthew’s Message, Sept. 1, 2022.)

Kees de Graaff: Somehow I’ll Find My Way Home

https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/22Somehow-Ill-Find-My-Way-Home22-Tribute-to-All-Lightworkers.mp4

All of life is embarked on the same one journey – from God to God – a voyage of Self-discovery

The Pattern of the Mother

  • This universe is designed around the pattern of the Divine Mother. What is that pattern?
  • Creation, preservation, transformation = love building, love preserving, love dissolving = inbreath, pause, outbreath = rajas, sattwa, thamas (gunas) = Akar, Ukar, Makar (Aum) = Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva (Trimurthy)
  • One more?
  • Father, Son, and Holy Ghost = Brahman, Atman, and Shakti

Divine Mother: Not in My Plan?

  • Divine Mother: [I am speaking about] those in … positions where control and abuse of power have been rampant. That will not be the platform [from] which integration of the various galaxies [into the new, interdimensional region of space] takes place. That is not the Plan.
  • I know very clearly, Sweet One, as do you, if it is not [in] my Plan, then it will not occur. …
  • Make no mistake, … Love will win because that has been my Plan always.
  • (The Divine Mother in “Enter the Delegations – Part 2/3,” May 5, 2019, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/05/05/enter-the-delegations-part-2-3/.)

The Mother’s Clarion Call to All of Humanity!

This is my clarion call to all of humanity to embrace love, to embrace truth, to embrace peace…

The Divine Mother’s Mandate

  • Build what is divinely beautiful. I give you my divine authority to do so. I will guide you. I will help you. But I entrust this to you as well. …
  • We are helping you. That gateway is open and you are being flooded and you are being assisted and you will be assisted every step of the way.

Spiritual Advice in Troubled Times

  • The Arcturian Group explains….

Bring Them Back to the Center

Humans … have lost the sense of prudence, of balance. It is extremes, extremes in behaviour, extremes in emotionality, extremes in belief systems…

Bring them back to the center.

Bring It Back to the Love

  • Beloved child, son of my heart, [Ascension, spiritual evolution] is only about love, about the many expressions, about the many forms.
  • And truly of anchoring and being nothing but the love, in intellect, in wisdom, in sharing, in adventure, in relationship.
  • It can only be [that way] when you continue to bring all adventures, all arguments, all explorations back to the love.
  • (The Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, April 30, 2019; also at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/06/01/the-divine-mother-it-is-all-a-journey-of-love/).

Do not Venture Where There is No Love

  • Do not venture where there is no love. Because, if there is no love, then there is no truth. And if there is no truth, there will not be peace and [peace], Sweet One, is the Plan.
  • (Archangel Michael in a  personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 17, 2020.)

Archangel Michael: Do not Get Caught in the Drama of White Hats or Black Hats

  • Beloved ones, do not allow yourselves to be distracted, yes, by the chaos….
  • Do not get caught in the drama of white hats or black hats, or good guys or bad guys. All beings are birthed directly from the Heart of One…. (“Archangel Michael: Do not Get Caught in the Drama of White Hats or Black Hats,” Nov. 12, 2019; see here.

Archangel Gaia on Our Mission on Earth

  • Archangel Gaia said
  • “I am now telling you what your mission is on Earth – it is to be an angel on Earth.
  • “You do not have to change the people around you; you do not have to get involved in politics, or that kind of activity.
  • “What you are meant to do here as a lightworker is to anchor a certain vibration.”
  • (Gaia, ”Earth Speaks: Your Mission on Earth,” through Pamela Kribbe, March 13, 2022, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2022/03/13/earth-speaks-your-mission-on-earth/.)

Werner Erhard on Responsibility

“Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life. It is a declaration not an assertion, that is, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no….”  (Read more…)
