The purpose of life
is to rediscover the parts of me
that make me whole.
I have, of course, ALWAYS been whole.
Yet I pretend otherwise,
so I can feel what you might call
“human emotion.”
Some say that I don’t pretend enough;
that I HAVE NO EMOTION.
But despite what
I imagine others saying,
I lack nothing.
You see, to be whole
is to be “greater” than human.
I feel and know many, many things,
most of which don’t translate to human.
Of course, this makes
the human I pretend to be
curious. And frustrated.
And saddened. And overjoyed.
This is why I do it.
The purpose of life
is to rediscover these parts of me
that make me whole.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where stars weave the fabric of existence into a boundless whimsiword of being, the notion of soul reunion emerges as a profound journey of self-discovery and wholeness. This odyssey, seemingly paradoxical, invites us to explore the depths of our consciousness, to engage in the art of remembering that which has always been a part of us.
The Illusion of Loss and Rediscovery
The journey begins with the understanding that nothing essential can ever truly be lost. The essence of our being, the soul, remains intact, ever-present, and eternally whole. The act of pretending to find what we believe we’ve lost is a dance of consciousness, a play of light and shadow that allows us to experience the full spectrum of existence.
Rediscovering Wholeness
Life’s purpose unfolds as a quest to rediscover the fragmented parts of our being that, when brought together, reveal the wholeness that has always existed within. This process of reintegration illuminates the facets of our soul, each reflecting a unique aspect of the divine.
The Paradox of Human Emotion
The exploration of human emotion, from the depths of sorrow to the peaks of joy, serves as a bridge between the finite and the infinite. It is within this spectrum of feeling that we encounter the essence of what it means to be human, even as we recognize our transcendence beyond these temporal bounds.
Wholeness Beyond Humanity
To acknowledge our inherent wholeness is to embrace a state of being that transcends the human condition. This realization does not negate our humanity but enriches it, offering a perspective where emotions and experiences are seen as colors on the vast canvas of our existence.
The Dance of Consciousness
The dance of consciousness, with its curious blend of curiosity, frustration, sadness, and joy, is the soul’s way of engaging with the human experience. This dance is not a sign of lack but a celebration of abundance, a testament to the soul’s capacity to feel, know, and understand beyond the confines of human language.
Life’s Purpose Reaffirmed
The purpose of life, then, is not a journey outward into the world but an inward voyage to the heart of our being. It is a pilgrimage of rediscovery, where each step brings us closer to the realization of our eternal wholeness.
The Soul’s Journey
Our journey is one of perpetual unfolding, a path that spirals inward, leading us to the core of our essence. Along this path, we encounter the myriad aspects of ourselves, each a piece of the puzzle that, when assembled, reveals the picture of our true nature.
Summary
The concept of soul reunion invites us to embark on a journey of self-discovery, where the goal is not to find what has been lost but to remember and reintegrate the parts of ourselves that have always existed. This journey challenges us to explore the depths of human emotion, to transcend the limitations of our humanity, and to embrace the wholeness that defines our essence. In doing so, we engage in the dance of consciousness, a celebration of the soul’s capacity to experience and understand the myriad facets of existence.
