Why Are We Here? A Christian View of Purpose, Truth, and Freedom

Human beings naturally ask why they exist. The question concerns purpose, which means the reason something exists and the good it is meant to fulfill.

A Christian answer begins with God rather than with hidden memories, cosmic levels, or a private identity waiting above ordinary life. We exist because God created us, sustains us, and calls us to know him, love our neighbors, cultivate what is good, and bear faithful witness within the life we have received.

Human purpose is given by the Creator; it is not invented by the self or recovered from a forgotten divine identity. That foundation gives life meaning without turning human beings into gods.

Purpose Begins With the Creator

The source rightly insists that human life has purpose and that escaping ordinary responsibility is not wisdom. Serious growth requires engagement with truth, relationships, work, suffering, and moral choice.

Yet its explanation of our origin conflicts with Scripture. The source states:

By entering, we have agreed to “forget” our “true nature” and to operate in the reality we are given for the purpose of “learning.”

Those realities exist in dimensions above ours and we chose to enter into this dimension from our choice made at a higher plane but not here.

These claims teach that souls existed before earthly life and voluntarily entered a lower realm. Scripture presents a different account. Genesis 1 and 2 describe God creating human beings as embodied creatures. Psalm 139:13-16 describes God forming a person in the womb, not a preexistent soul selecting an incarnation.

The source also makes this identity claim:

“we are, in our true natures, all-powerful beings,”

That statement directly contradicts the biblical distinction between Creator and creature. God alone is almighty. Human beings possess real agency and dignity, but their power is limited, dependent, and accountable.

Ephesians 2:10 says believers are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works. Purpose is therefore neither self-deification nor escape from physical existence. It is faithful participation in the good God appoints.

The adult implication is significant. If purpose depends on recovering hidden godhood, ordinary duties become distractions from a supposedly higher self. If purpose is received from God, ordinary duties become places where love, courage, patience, justice, and truth take form.

Receive your life as a created calling: identify the people, responsibilities, abilities, and opportunities already entrusted to you, then serve faithfully within them. Purpose becomes concrete through obedience.

Creation Is Not a Ladder of Hidden Densities

The physical world has dimensions in the scientific sense. A dimension is a measurable aspect such as length, width, height, or time. This technical use does not establish a spiritual hierarchy through which souls rise toward greater divinity.

The source makes a different claim:

There are seven densities of reality and we are in the third density or third dimension.

No biblical text teaches seven densities of spiritual development. The source also describes a return to “7th density,” “upper realms,” and a “higher knowledge and true state of being.” These ideas belong to an esoteric cosmology, not Christian doctrine.

Scripture distinguishes the visible and invisible creation, earth and heaven, body and spirit, present life and resurrection. These distinctions do not form a ladder by which human beings rediscover themselves as all-powerful beings. Salvation is God’s work of reconciliation through Christ, not advancement through density levels.

The source further says:

This realm of the third dimension or third density that we are in is like a prison where there are laws that limit what we can do here.

Creation is fallen and subject to frustration, as Romans 8:20-23 explains. Yet matter is not an evil prison. God called creation good, the Son took on a real human body, and Christian hope includes bodily resurrection.

Treating embodied life as a prison can weaken respect for physical limits, health, work, community, and care for the world. Biblical hope does not despise creation; it anticipates its renewal under God.

Created limits are not proof of spiritual imprisonment; they are conditions within which dependence, responsibility, and love become visible. Limits can be painful without being meaningless.

Use scientific terms according to their evidence, test spiritual claims by Scripture, and refuse to turn speculative cosmology into Christian teaching. Clear categories protect both reason and faith.

Awareness Supports Change but Does Not Create Reality

Awareness means accurately noticing what is happening within and around us. It is often the first step toward change because an unnamed habit, fear, conflict, or error is difficult to address.

The source offers a useful principle when it says ignored problems do not disappear. Honest attention can reveal repeated choices, untested assumptions, harmful relationships, or practical obstacles. A solution often requires understanding the actual problem.

That insight becomes false when awareness is treated as a power that creates objective reality. The source states:

We do create our reality from all levels of reality including this one.

Thoughts influence perception, decisions, habits, and relationships. They do not create the external world, control other people, or guarantee outcomes. Reality includes facts and forces that exist independently of personal belief.

The source also states:

For example, we may be unconsciously focusing on poverty by thinking poverty thoughts and doing poverty actions.

Destructive habits can contribute to financial hardship, so honest self-examination matters. Poverty also arises from illness, disability, exploitation, unstable work, family crisis, war, discrimination, disaster, and inherited conditions. Reducing poverty to thought patterns assigns false control and false blame.

John 9 warns against assuming that suffering always results from the sufferer’s personal fault. Christian judgment examines conduct without pretending that every hardship is self-created.

Romans 12:2 connects transformation with the renewing of the mind. Renewal enables discernment and changed conduct; it does not grant sovereignty over reality.

Name the problem accurately, separate controllable choices from uncontrollable conditions, seek reliable evidence, accept appropriate help, and act on the next real responsibility. Awareness serves change when it remains accountable to truth.

Spiritual Influence Requires Biblical Discernment

People are influenced by ideas, desires, examples, communities, media, institutions, and spiritual forces. Understanding influence matters because repeated exposure shapes attention and conduct.

The source directs readers toward an undefined spiritual authority:

Higher forces or higher influences are normal, cosmic; but we can open ourselves to receive them, or shut ourselves off from them.

This perception comes from inner knowing.

These statements treat cosmic influence and inward certainty as sources of higher knowledge. Christianity does not command indiscriminate openness to invisible forces. First John 4:1 says not to believe every spirit but to test the spirits because false prophets have gone into the world.

Inner impressions can arise from conscience, memory, desire, fear, imagination, bodily condition, or spiritual influence. Their intensity does not prove their truth. Biblical discernment tests a claim against Scripture, the character of Christ, moral fruit, sound reason, and wise counsel.

The source also says:

We cannot ‘do,’ but if we know, we may change something.

Knowledge is necessary for wise action, but knowledge alone does not produce obedience. James 1:22 warns against hearing the word without doing it. Christian maturity joins understanding with faithful practice.

Undefined “higher forces” also obscure the personal nature of God. God is not an impersonal cosmic current. Scripture presents him as holy, knowing, willing, speaking, judging, and loving. Prayer is communion with God, not access to a higher frequency.

Spiritual experiences require testing because sincerity, intensity, and inward certainty do not guarantee truth. Discernment protects the mind from both cynicism and deception.

Test every spiritual claim by Scripture, examine its moral fruit, seek wise Christian counsel, and reject any influence that contradicts the character and teaching of Christ. Openness without testing is not spiritual maturity.

Freedom Grows Through Truthful Obedience

Freedom is not the absence of every limit. It is the growing ability to live according to truth and the good without enslavement to sin, deception, fear, or destructive desire.

The source connects freedom with awakening to a hidden nature:

Most of the laws we have to obey are the result of our sleep and our unconsciousness.

Continue to free from the laws that limit your true nature.

Some limitations do result from ignorance or destructive habit. Yet moral law is not a prison created by unconsciousness. God’s commands identify the good and protect love, justice, fidelity, and life. Freedom does not require escaping moral law but having the heart renewed to obey what is good.

The source quotes:

Know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

It then equates knowing with consciousness. In John 8:31-36, Jesus speaks to disciples who abide in his word. The truth that frees is inseparable from Christ and freedom from slavery to sin; it is not generic awareness.

The final claim states:

You need to use your will to access greater intelligence according to the law of one.

This introduces another non-Christian system. Scripture does not teach a “law of one” through which human will accesses higher intelligence. Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and is sought through Scripture, prayer, counsel, learning, and obedience.

Human will matters, but it is not self-saving. Christians depend on grace, the Holy Spirit, truth, community, and disciplined practice. Personal responsibility remains real without making the self its own redeemer.

Abide in Christ’s teaching, confess what is false, practice what is true, accept created limits, and use freedom to love God and neighbor. Repeated obedience gives truth a durable place in conduct.

We are created for God’s purposes, freed by Christ’s truth, and responsible to live faithfully within the real world God made. A sound mind does not escape reality; it learns to see, judge, and act within reality under God.
