Life Lesson #10: Purpose emerges.
So far we’ve explored the 4 Properties of what Living Systems ARE: - divergent parts - convergent whole - dynamic relationships - self-integrating spark

We’ve explored the 4 Drives of what Living Systems DO: - survival - healing - evolution - devolution or death

What’s the PURPOSE of living systems??

This is for obvious reasons a HUGE question, and sorry, but again, we don’t claim to have an “answer” to it… We first advise basking in the Mystery of it all, gaining a true appreciation for Life through the deep awe, wonder, humility, reverence, and gratitude that it inspires. Go out into nature. Be in deep solitude & silence. Don’t allow societal conditionings, distractions, fears, or knowledge of what you think is “True” to get in the way. Make it a practice to drop in deeply with yourself while authentically communing with the humans and natural world around you… Once we’ve made this a practice, we begin to see the Divine patterns that Life operates through, and begin living through them ourselves. From here, through our subjective experience, we can begin to deduce Life’s Purpose, our Personal Purpose, (and many many other things).

We go into the next slide, giving a summation of what WE’VE observed Life’s “Purpose” to be, but it’s largely conjecture, devised through intellectual investigation. We’ve only begun to experiment with living out the Life Lessons within this presentation, and encourage you to do the same… Let us know what YOU find!!! It’s something only YOU can answer for yourself…

So now, in humility, we give our evolving ‘answer’ to the purpose of Life:

Life Lesson #10: Purpose emerges.
The Purpose of Life seems to be to create more consciousness, more complexity, more connection,
more synergy, harmony, beauty, generativity, & ultimately: more of itself.
The Purpose of Death seems to lie in creating the necessary dissolution of that which is no longer generative, so that
more vital forms can be birthed from it.
Let’s let that sink in for a moment…

Ok.
We ready to move on?
Great.
