If you believe this life has purpose, that what we are doing here is happening for a reason, then why would the ultimate goal be to transcend this existence, to float off into space or enter a kingdom of heaven outside ourselves? If we are here with reason, with purpose, why would the grand prize, the jackpot of all existence be to not exist, to not experience the gift of life as we have been granted? When it is all said and done, whether we dissipate into nothingness as some may suspect or transform into another form undefinable by us yet, does not the one common denominator remain that LIFE, that thing that happens when our heart beats and we breathe deeply, precedes the ultimate end game and regardless of where we think we are going the reasonable aspiration would be to live a life of our highest potentials?
