Why Are You Here?

From the group:

Why are you here? You are here to define god. You are playing this game so that you can see god, because in an infinite state god cannot study himself-herself. There is no definition. There is no beginning or end. By coming into these bubbles of biology, you are actually a definition of god. That is beautiful.

Is it not interesting that it is only possible to be afraid of the unknown? Once you fill in that vacancy with the information that was missing, you cannot be afraid of it any more. You may not like it, but you cannot be afraid of it any more. Fill in the information. Embrace the fact that humans are evolving. It is an exciting time. This is why you chose to be here right now.

From Abraham (Excerpted from the workshop in San Antonio, TX on Saturday, April 20th, 2002):

Mining the moment for something that feels good, something to appreciate, something to savor, something to take in, that's what your moments are about. They're not about justifying your existence. It's justified. You exist. It's not about proving your worthiness. It's done. You're worthy. It's not about achieving success. You never get it done. It's about "How much can this moment deliver to me?" And some of you like them fast, some of you like them slow. No one's taking score. You get to choose. The only measurement is between my desire and my allowing. And your emotions tell you everything about that.

(Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Saturday, October 7th, 2000):

The beasts that came before you, who banged around on this planet, denoted, at cellular, conscious and unconscious levels, their preferences. And that is how the atmosphere was prepared for you. They did not write one thing on their "things to do today" pads. They just be'd and perceived and concluded and asked vibrationally. And the Universe expanded as a result of their willingness to have exposure to the contrast.

And you are not different from them. You have no greater responsibility than they did. The contrast produces the desire within you, and the Universe expands as a result of it. The only question is, the question that we want so much to answer is, are you letting it in? Are you letting yourself experience the benefit of your precious focus and your vast experience in the here and now? You'll never get it done. You cannot get it wrong. So don't you think it's time for you to lighten up and start having more fun with all of this, and accept that you are Eternal Beings? And since you are Eternal Beings, then there's no point in rushing, because there's never going to be a time when you don't exist.

(Excerpted from the workshop in Albuquerque, NM on Wednesday, September 1st, 2004)

It [your striving] is ill-placed if you're trying to get things fixed, if you're trying to figure it all out, if you're trying to get to the place that you think you were sent here by God to conclude. But when you get it, that whether you are focused in 1930 or 1940, or whether you're focused right here, today, your work is about being; observing; vibrating; concluding new preference, aligning with preference—and the world just goes around and around, and around—for what? For what?

Were those in the 1930's sent here to make it some way so that by some deadline it will be some way? There are so many who want you to believe that "We've got to get ready! Gotta get ready!" For what? For eternity? For more opportunity to be? What is it for? What is any of it for? What has any of it ever been for? What will any of it ever be for?

What it is for, is for your creative pleasure in your NOW. It is for your opportunity to conclude what you would prefer and for your opportunity to align that preference with the Source that is You. And when you use the Guidance that comes from within you to help you know whether you're in sync with the desires that you have set forth, or whether you are not—then you're in alignment. Then, you're in alignment with your NOW. Then, you're in alignment with your Source. Then, you're in alignment with All-That- Is. Then, you are living that which you came forth to live.

...

You didn't come to earn worthiness—you already are worthy. You didn't come forth to become intelligent—you already are Intelligence. You didn't come forth to achieve godliness—you already are God. You came forth for the pleasure of being the powerful creator that you are, and you knew that there would be a world full of others doing the same thing, and that you would mix and match. And sometimes you would agree, and often you would not agree. But out of all of it a powerful thing would happen: New ideas would be born.

You knew that the new idea would be born. And you knew you would have the opportunity to feel the thrill of being on the leading edge as the new idea is born, and to feel the rush of creative Life Force flowing through your focused viewpoint. You knew you would have an Emotional Center that would let you know whether—in this moment—the idea that has been born within you, aligns with other conclusions that you have already achieved.

As Non-physical Energy—you decide that you will focus into this time/space reality, and this worthy, loving, Pure Positive Energy Consciousness focuses here, for the express purpose of providing an opportunity for Broader Perspective to move forward, for the achievement of what? Expansion? Yes, but expansion is inevitable. Joy? Yes, for the purpose of joy. That's why we all exist.

From Tobias (Excerpted from Shoud 8 of The Returning Series):

You live in the best of times and the worst of times. You live in the times of wisdom and the times of foolishness, and it doesn’t matter. You live in a time of great change and you live in a time that doesn’t need change at all, because it’s already there. So I ask each one of you today, I ask all across this world: why are you here? What is it that you choose?

... Do you have to have such a mission and do you have to have such a purpose? Do you have to be needed by someone or something else? Do you have to be a crusader still? Do you have to get on that horse and cross vast lands to tell and to show other people how to live and what to believe?

Or can you be here on Earth right now as yourself—just because? That’s a good enough reason, I discovered—just because. Why are you here on Earth? “Just because, damn it, it’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times. I wouldn’t want to miss it for anything!” (laughter) Why are you here? “Just because I can be here, because I can be in a body and what a luscious thing it is. Just because I can feel human emotion, I can taste human food. I can actually feel human pain and human struggling—that’s a reason in itself. Because I can feel this thing called love from one to the other. I can pet a dog. I can sing out loud and hear myself.”

Just because. What a grand and marvelous thing it is for a creator to do it, just because—if nothing else—for the experience.
