What is the Purpose of Life?

Written to keep myself in trim while sick and unable to research.

On Feb. 13, 1987, I learned that life has a purpose. And I was shown what that purpose was.

I was shown it wordlessly. It took ten years to find words for it and ten more years to write it up. (1)

Strangely, even though I can’t remember what I had for breakfast or even if I had breakfast, I can remember everything about that vision as if it were yesterday.

Let me give a little background necessary for understanding.

I was in a Ph.D. program in Sociology, studying small groups. To get my feet wet, I was giving voluntary counselling sessions just for experience.

I was following Jay Haley’s Problem-Solving Therapy. They’d present me with a problem and I’d present them with a solution.

But no one was buying my solutions and I kept having to come up with new ones. This was hard work.

Instead they’d look at me when I offered my solution as if I was nuts and then continue with their story...+
