The Goal Of Seeking & Finding The WayUnity Consciousness #597

.

Many people think about, talk about and go about looking for “the way.” For many people, the way we're looking for is the way to live this life in order to get to a better life. The most common places people look in order to find the way are religion and society.

Using the optimal viewpoint of our civilization-creating African Ancestors, we must first understand the goal of seeking the way before we know where to find the way.

What Is The Goal Of Seeking The Way?

The goal of seeking the way is: “...the human purpose is to be one with the Supreme Being..” (1)

In the African cultural tradition of wisdom and deep thought, the purpose of life is to become one with God. This process of deification could take many lifetimes. (2)

Human development involves...(e) direction, which identifies individual purpose and mission that is in keeping with the main purpose for all creation – to become one again with the Creator. (3)

How Do We “Become One” With The Supreme Being?

Through an optimization process (p. 74). This is the process of understanding. The process of understanding is the process of becoming one with the Creator. This understanding process is a knowledge of self process, a self-improvement process and an evolutionary process.

Oneness with the Creator necessitates understanding of self in relation to all else in order to fashion life in keeping with the harmonious laws of Maat. Living this way leads to a human being one with the Creator.

Becoming one with the Creator DOES NOT simply mean “being with” the Creator. It does not simply mean the Creator and you in the same place living joyfully as separate and different beings. No, no, no.
It means becoming one in all aspects of self physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Becoming one means actually merging in all aspects and forms such that the two things which have merged are no longer distinguishable from each other in no respects. They have become each other and are one because there is no longer such a thing as each other. It means being transformed back into the totality of who we are – the Creator. The only way to become one with the Creator is to become the Creator.

In review:
The goal of life is to return to being one with the Creator from whence we came.
The way is by continuously maturing* through ongoing understanding.
These two things are in harmony with destiny and so is our return to being who we fully are – the Creator.
Let me be even more clear about destiny as I have now come to understand it: Our destiny is to understand by learning how to use genetics and by going through the process of eventually overcoming challenges. There are many forms and degrees of challenges. Whatever the reason is someone does not understand something and then the person comes to understand it, that person has overcome a challenge. Every attempt or non-attempt leading up to the final overcoming of the challenge provides understanding once the person becomes aware of what this life is about. Understanding is inextricably bound to behavior that demonstrates understanding. Proof of understanding is presence of behavior on one hand and absence of behavior on the other hand.

*Maturity is the optimal use of power. Power is the manipulation of resources. Optimal requires unifying understanding of self in order to satisfy the need incentive(s).
