What are we doing here on earth? Why are we here in this world? How did we get here and where are we going?
There is very little point trying to explain or reason this out because to ask the question is not to understand the nature of our being.
It’s like asking “how big is the sky?”.
In short, there is no reason for us being here on earth. We simply are.
In the absence of any idea of the physical singular self the question, what are we doing here on earth? has no relevance.
No other species at this current moment in time, to the best of my knowledge, asks this question. I would say principally because animals are absent of a singular idea of self.
The singular idea of self, of person, of me separate from fundamental reality, is unique to humans. It is of course part of the evolutionary process of consciousness and completely necessary for our development here on earth.
In short, we don’t need to worry about it. I could leave it there but I realise that may not be saying enough, so I’ll continue.
To ask the question, what are we doing here on earth? is to not understand our true nature but to ask it is important in order that we discover the truth.
