For Those Who "ponder" the Purpose of Life... If life has a purpose?

 Let us begin with this question?   Is the Soul of Man immortal... and if it is, is the reason we can't find the Soul the fact that it is other than physical?    And if it is both immortal, and not physical... then what is it, and how does one go about finding that which is not physical?   Or do we simply ignore the Soul?  ...and at what cost?

If life has a purpose, could the reason we don't know what that purpose is possibly be the fact that one's brain is a physical muscle located in one's skull?  And one's Soul is composed of Pure Spiritual Energy, which is entirely Invisible to one's brain and one's physical senses... and we have no idea where the Soul is located? 

Second question... more or less.   How much of oneself is Invisible to one's brain?  Would it surprise you to learn that three-quarters of oneself are energy realms or dimensions which are invisible to one's brain and physical senses?  See sketch:

Note please that the whole of oneself comprises four entirely separate realms or dimensions, each with its own range of vibrations.  The only one we can see and think about is the physical dimension, which includes one's brain, with which we think.  It's  circle #1.

This means that regardless how much intelligence you have, your brain is always incapable of perceiving #2, #3, or #4.  So, how does one investigate these three parts of oneself that are Invisible to #1?  You obviously must use something capable of perceiving the otherwise Invisible energy of #2, #3, or #4.  What could that be?

I suggest that what is capable of perceiving #2, #3, and #4 is a faculty of one's Soul called "Intuition".  And Intuition is associated with one's level of Consciousness, which is a special kind of Knowledge, which is another name for Consciousness. And still another name for Intuition would be "Attention," which is a special part of one's Soul... which incorporates one's MIND [which is responsible for the overall administration of the Law of Karma relative to every Soul [regardless what life form a Soul happens to possess in this lifetime]?

 I also suggest that the Purpose of Life is for each Soul to slowly work its way up the Ladder of Life (evolutionary growth) by acquiring Consciousness [Knowledge] by Completing Karma.  And think of "Intuition" as becoming active when a Soul has acquired a sufficient amount of Consciousness (Knowledge or Experience) so that the Soul acquires "discretion and understanding" by way of experience.

So,when you come across a person who seems to be more Enlightened than the average person... the reason is that person's Soul has acquired more Consciousness than other people one meets.  But most people who are Enlightened do not realize they are "different" that other people. At least not during the first few lifetimes of being Enlightened, because becoming Enlightened requires a great many lifetimes in which one has struggled to engage in more positive Karma than negative Karma.

A great book about this topic is "The Path of the Masters," by Julian Johnson, and this is available in many libraries.
