Why are you here?

[Samielleus Prince]

Something I think there will be a lot of discussion on. I'm not sure at all, but I've been thinking a lot on myself lately and something new popped into my head recently.

As many may or may not know, I was not incarnated as my full self. My layers were stripped away and the very core of me was left vulnerable until it was placed in humanity. I get the feeling that it would have been pointless to go down as I was. I think God, or whoever sent me wanted me to feel how humans felt. He wanted me to be vulnerable, weak, dependent on others, but most of all to love others unconditionally, without fear or mistrust.

That's a big issue with me. I don't trust people. Experience has taught me not to. My layers (male and female influences) protect me becuase they are far more sturdy than my core. Maybe I was supposed to loose those layers for a little while. (either way they're back now) So I'm not really sure that the purpose of all that was. I don't think it was a punishment (or at least I don't view it as one) but more of a learning experience for me, and my loved ones. So how about you all?

I'm here because I like being around humans on Earth more than I like Heaven.

It's why I Fell and it's why I continue to reincarnate as a human and will keep doing so until... the end of humans, I suppose.

Quite honestly, I think I'm here as a sort of vacation, or learning experience. I wasn't supposed to realize that -I- was here, and yet with the influence of others, I did anyhow.

So, now it's not a vacation as such, 'cause I'm always wondering what's going on back home at the "office", and if my companions are messing with the stuff on my desk.

To learn and to teach.

aquariel, do you find yourself particularly adept in any area of 'teaching'?...or learning

[Samielleus Prince]

To be honest I don't think any of us are hear to teach...if we were teachers we wouldn't be flawed humans but back in out ethereal state. One can be a good suggester, or theorist, but never a teacher.

[non-sequitur aeon]

-nod- that's why i worded it 'teaching'...to note the connotations. i agree that one can't be an absolute teacher but teaching isn't about giving someone an non-flawed/ultimate truth. it's about guiding someone in an area that you may have more experience or perhaps just an alternate perspective. teaching, to me, is more a mutual discourse than master/apprentice.

so, to reword my previous post....aquariel, could you share any niche subject you enjoy learning of...or having [mutual discourse]? :-P

I've found myself unable to figure out why I'm here. Maybe it's just my own incompetence but it feels like it has been blocked out, almost like a wall keeping me from that part of my memories. Any tips on figuring this out?

[Indigo Starshine]

I had to assign myself a reason to be here. I get that otherwise I've already done all I need to really, and I'm here right now because I choose this life and to continue this life further. Considering what my physical life is like with all the health issues and problems... yeah I need a strong reason to be here. However, since I never really felt one in particular and was always dubious about being told this or that reason for living, I had to give myself a reason that makes me motivated enough to stay.

I'm here because I want to work on my two manuscripts and publish them into novels. If I want to continue after that, and write and then publish the whole series, that's for me to decide then depending on how I'm feeling and handling the life thus far. I want to do art and put the people and angels that I see so well into tangible paper and color and ink, so that others can now see them too. It makes me feel better to be able to see my true form reflected somewhere, since it's rather disconcerting to look into the mirror and not see anything familiar.

So my life goals are to be a published author and a professional artist. :3 <3

I am here to help people. I refused to do what my superior told me to do.
