I been thinking about this and I think I want to share my views with people they are still somewhat work in progress but if you have some input then say it.

So to the questioñ What is life? What is the purpose of our existence? Who are we? Why we are here? Why we are like this? What is going on here?

I'll try to answer those questions from my own point of view and from what I believe through my research and thinking. Let's lay out some base points here:

first. I created my belief on basis that everything that exists has to have some kind of significance. So basically if something exists it has to be true up to some extent or contain at least something that can be used or leveraged as a part of your growth. And by exists I mean everything even ideas on peoples head.

Second: I think that the goal of everything is to move forward/grow/gain more information. That is the base of existence if something doesn't move forward it cannot exist at all it is not possible.

Third: I think the key to growth and that way existing is work. And I don't mean like physical work I mean work in a sense that physical or spiritual energy is being used so basically everything that requires you to use up energy is work which in turn moves your forward. 

Fourthly: everything in my theory leverages quite heavily on christianity as that is the religion that I've had most experiences with. That in mind I still believe that every religion and non religion  has some significance as they couldn't exist if that wasn't the case.

So what is life? To put it simply I would say that it is our first step in a bigger staircase. I think that what we are currently experiencing is our spirit controlling the flesh that is our body. 

The goal of this life I think is for the spirit to become one with the flesh. To achieve that I think the key is to work focusing your flesh and spirit to one and that way moving forward. 

But our life is just one step in our way of growing and moving forward as an existence. That leads us to question What is the purpose of our existence?

I think that after becoming one with our flesh and spirit  next step is to start becoming one with everything else that exists. Basically absorbing everything into yourself so it exists within yourself but it still exists as separate entity as Well. 

After you've became one with everything in this plane of existence you must rid yourself from this plane of existence that you exist within and become your own plane of existence while .still being part of the original plane.

Next you are able to create your own universe inside if yourself and there you will be able to create existences by shattering yourself into pieces staying still whole thus creating your own mankind. 

In there a single existence might have similar experience as you are having right now as I think what we are right now is actually a part of that kind of bigger existence in this infinite loop of growth and moving forward.

There is still more to it but that is kinda the general point on what I believe in.

I consider consuming only plants as part of a spiritual practice because it makes a more direct use of the Sun, Earth and Space environment's energy.

I also believe in positive and negative energy and considering what our fellow animals go through you can only assume that consuming their energy is negative and detrimental to our Spiritual, Physical and mental health as one and as a whole.

my views comes from a vegan perspective but also from a from a book I have been reading and rereading "once we are able to make direct use of the suns energy our digestive organs will become vestigial and our laxative organs will not longer function.

We have our own part and responsibilities that's why we exist. It could be that we are here for a mission. Maybe. life for me is challenging but I'm positive and need to stay strong for my family.

Once you start to take responsibility you can start to be human and once you start to be human you can start to be enlightened.

Life is about surviving in this cruel world, that is the main goal. And the secondary goal is like if you believe in God, you will try to be a good person and believe in God ; if you want to continue your family tree, you will try to find a wife and have a child ; or if you want to be remembered, you will try to make a great contribution to humanity or help other people.

I think life is like that.

I always loved existentional pondering like that, but I'm a person with pretty dark beliefs on this matter, ergo if you do not really want to have your mood brought down, best do not open up spoiler below :P No, I mean it. .. like, seriously.

Spoiler

A recent game I've seen had a very good quote on that matter.

"What is darkness, but lurking sun? What is wall, but enslaved ston? What is glass, but tortured sand? What is song, but call to arms? What is hate, but wilted love? What is life, but death pending...?" -Vampyr

Basically, whatever we do will have its influence only short term. Long term, our actions do not have major significance. Neither really our existance as species, as honestly saying, one well placed rock falling from space could just end it all in an instant, and there's nothing we could do about it.

I neither believe in any higher powers, significance or destiny. We do whatever we want and afterwards we face consequences of our actions, or fall victim of the consequences of other's actions. There's always a human being behind anything that happens to us somewhere out there. Things like destiny are excuses created by humanity unable to handle the reality. This is my input, even if I know it is mighty unpopular.

I am awfully, petrifyingly aware and terrorised by my own mortality. But I have at once partially come to terms with it, that is why I am trying to cherish every moment I have. Blue sky, green trees, mountainside views, family, animals, music. Or even the unachievable, fantasy worlds full of dragons and stuff. But also pain, saddness, anger... This is all part of our lives. And while it lasts, I am not willing to give up on it. Sooner or later, I will be forced to withdraw from this all. But not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. Not by my own will.
