Why are humans on Earth?

The Path to the New
1

It seems to me that when one looks at nature, nothing is there without reason. Everything has some task, is useful for some purpose. And even if animals only care for themselves and their offspring, their existence and life always bring about something beneficial for their surroundings.

When I observe how and for what humans live, there are probably some who, in a certain sense, have a positive effect on certain elements of their environment. However, a fundamental purpose cannot be recognized by observing the human way of life – almost as if life is just lived for its own sake, as an end in itself.

So, if I now have the question: „What is humanity’s purpose on Earth?“, how can one discern this, and where can one begin to search for the answer?

How do you ascertain humanity’s purpose on Earth? Where do you even begin searching for an answer?

If we consider humanity’s purpose from the perspective of our original purpose or design, then we know we were meant to enter creation to uplift and enrich it, not only through our activity, but also through the influence of our inner radiation and way of being. This can be seen manifested in the countless contributions people make through fulfilling their individual missions, inventions that improve lives, acts of service that ease suffering, and everyday work that sustains society.

Purpose is not only found in grand achievements. It can also be observed in the small and often overlooked interactions of daily life such as the stranger who stops to help someone in need, the baker who feeds a community, or the mechanic whose work enables another person to continue their journey. Even the simplest task, when carried out rightly, can contribute something beneficial to creation.

Yet humanity has, in many ways, distorted its way of living. Much of modern life appears centered around pursuits that are disconnected from higher purpose. The endless chase for wealth, status, influence, or material gain. From this perspective, it can seem as though there is no true meaning at all, only people endlessly pursuing goals they have convinced themselves are of utmost importance.

However, even within this distortion, the usefulness of humanity can still be observed. If we pay attention to the smaller interactions and their ripple effects, we begin to see how human beings still contribute positively to creation. In the same way one can observe animals and recognize their beneficial role within the environment, one can also observe humanity at the most basic level and see traces of the same principle.

From there, deeper connections emerge: the positive impact of the intellect when it is used correctly, the creativity and progress that arise through conscious effort, and the influence of the spirit when a person remains genuinely connected to it.

Perhaps one could also say: The meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life. Whoever wants to find the true meaning of life and deeply experience the concept of „life“ will inevitably be confronted with the truth and with „true values of life“.

Looking at world events, it would seem that the bulk of mankind has little concept of their purpose on planet earth, I would go so far as to say that in our development we are so far down a wrong road there is no turning back and only a complete collapse of the existing paradigm will motivate some to take The path to the New. This is where the Wahrelebenswerte team can sow the seeds of The great cycle of life, with the joy of that consciousness.

I would start with the abilities that make us human. In nature, we can observe that functions (roles) are determined by abilities: a bee, which can fly from flower to flower, serves plants as a pollinator, serves animals (and humans) as a honey producer, etc… So, what abilities do humans have that other creatures do not??? That’s how I would start looking :-).

The question about the meaning of life has more than one answer.
It begins with the realization who we really are. Only then we can give our life a completely different meaning than to strive for what the mundane world offers.
As spiritual beings coming to earthly life we need to fully grasp that our true home is not on this Earth. And the fascinating journey of discovery can begin. Journey that in fact has no end. Journey that paints one marvel after another, if we are open enough to see it. Journey on which we find exactly as much as the depth of our yearning is. And there lies also a great justice.

„Do you believe that after your life on Earth, everything is over for you?“ This is my central question that I ask as soon as possible in a conversation. The answer to it indicates the direction of how things will proceed… and whether they will proceed :melting_face:

„Seek, and ye shall find.“

I had searched for a long time. I felt it. But I wouldn’t have been able to say what I was looking for.

In 1978, I saw a full-page advertisement in Reader’s Digest for In the Light of Truth. Upon reading the title, I immediately knew: Yes. That is for me.

I bought the book. The very first lectures evoked a deep ‚yes‘ within me. Soon I made contact, and my path continued – step by step.

It was a long period of learning. It is still ongoing. Many things I only understood later. But in retrospect, I see how faithfully and persistently I received help. And I soon understood what I had been searching for back then, and that I had even been searching.

I am heartily grateful. With every step, my trust has also grown: Help is available. For every person who is willing to accept it. Not everyone recognizes it at the same time or in the same way.
