I came across this interesting concept some time ago.
Beings of Consciousness
Since the dawn of human history, we have described ourselves as being made up of mind, body and soul. The body is like a machine, and the soul drives the machine using the mind.
The universe is made up of energy, so is everything in it, including all of us. We are in a way connected to the universe, so is everything around us - plants, trees, stones et al.
What if the universe is a living entity, a being of consciousness, just like what we are? Imagine us being red blood cells in our bodies. We know of our existences, and the existence of the kinds around us. However, we have not a clue that our collective existence contributes to a higher consciousness, which is our mind and soul.
Mankind's collective existence contributes to a higher consciousness. Some call it God in various names, and have found ways to connect to God.
Ancient Buddhist monks perform deep meditation over many many years in isolation to achieve enlightenment. When meditating, we clear our minds to think of nothing at all. When we succeed in doing that, we connect to the higher consciousness.
And the answer to the purpose of our very existence unveils . . .
