The other day I was watching a news program about medical psychedelics, and a cancer patient was talking about her experience. She was/is part of an experiment on psychedelics and their effects on I believe it was anxiety. She had a lot of anxiety about death. She then went on to say that during her psychedelic experience she was told that “there is no purpose, this is it” or something along those lines. She also mentioned something said about being alive and that this is it. This brought her great peace and she said she has no fear of death anymore.
At first I was taken back a bit, no purpose? This is it? How could this make your anxiety go away? After thinking about it for a little while, I thought, this is actually very true in Heaven. I thought, there really is no “real” purpose in Heaven. To say that we don’t have an eternal mission anyways. In my belief system, God is Eternal, has always existed and will always exist. He created us to have people to spend eternity with, to experience life with. He created us to be his road dog’s in his walk in Eternity.
I say we have no purpose, because I don’t believe that God expects anything from us. That people shouldn’t feel pressured to be good companions. We just need to exist and enjoy life. God isn’t expecting us to “perform” or be a “jester”. He just wants you to exist alongside him and experience eternity with him. The rest will all happen naturally.
Not that we won’t create certain lifestyles or find different ways to feel purpose in our lives in Heaven. And our lives are certainly very purposeful here on Earth and for God’s plans here on Earth. There is lots of purpose to be found on Earth, that’s for sure. But, at the very core of our eternal existence, there is no pressure, there is no failing, there are no expectations to live up to. God just wants you to simply exist with him for all eternity. Which is really beautiful in my opinion.
