I view our purpose as seeking to experience the best possible experience as defined by ourselves. But because reality is infinite, we never stop seeking into the unknown to find a better experience but we balance that seeking with appreciating the past best known experience until we are ready to begin our search anew. This cycle between appreciation and exploration happens across the whole scale of consciousness from the smallest quantum particle to the largest galaxy and Universe. We even experience it continuously in our own microcosm we call a lifetime.
For example, someone may spend 10 years learning soccer finding the best soccer experience and then proceeding to spend 5 years to appreciate being skilled at soccer. Eventually, one grows tired of soccer and decides to learn chess, finding the best chess experience, and then appreciating that experience for as long as it is enjoyable. Then, the cycle begins anew.
I've found a good way to model the exploration and appreciation cycle is with the four seasons. In spring, we plan which experiences to experiment with and plant our seeds for exploration into the unknown. In summer, we let all the plants grow in various patterns and experience all kinds of new experiences both good and bad. In fall, we harvest the plants and experiences sorting out the good from the bad. In winter, we stop exploring and just eat and appreciate the goods that we harvested in the fall. When spring comes, we are ready to leave our old harvest behind and begin exploration into the unknown anew using our last harvest to guide our seeds that we plant.
I am looking forward to the harvest on Earth, letting go of the bad experiences, and spending many years appreciating the good experiences that we've learned to create from this cycle on Earth. https://youtu.be/Xy29T7LBM_I
