Living For a Higher Purpose

The question that I am trying to answer is whether or not it makes sense to live for a fulfillment beyond this world? I think that it is more important to live for the purpose of preserving our Gods creation than it is to live for the purpose of achieving an everlasting life in heaven. I think that if we do something just because we think God wants us to; we are living a selfish life. Does God want us to live for the purpose of his creation or for the purpose of our interest to be in heaven? I think that we should live to promote the processes which God provided us to enhance growth of our humanity. What are some of these tools that God has provided us?
Firstly, God has provided us with a body. You may be familiar with the saying “my body is my temple, and my temple is my guide.” One may look at this quote as individualistic. I view it as the “world” being my temple and my temple is my guide. I feel that it is my duty to take care of my temple and I will be taken care of in return. The body is mystical on its own. It is made of cells that only last seven years. Every seven years new cells are generated. How is it that we obtain all of our genetic information if the cells are the carriers of this material? Is it mitosis and meiosis? I don’t doubt that they are involved that would be a contradiction because they are the reproduction processes of cells. However, it seems that the death of a cell would have to occur if we are to maintain a living status. The body and all it wonders is made up an average of 55% to 65% water depending on your age and your fat content. Children seem to have a larger percentage of water. Is death the result of a process of slowing loosing water? There are researches that have been done that suggest that dehydration occurs from the lack of water this causes your body to become highly acidic. The human body should always remain neutral (between basic and acidic) about 7 on the ph scale. If the water level falls, the power of hydrogen will degrees to 1-3 and could cause problems like, high blood pressure. There is also evidence that cancer can develop in this environment. I think, like Lao stated in the Tao Te Ching, there seems to be something about water that is amazing. And I think that it is of our interest to protect this wonderful resource.
Secondly, God has provided us with a consciousness. With this consciousness we are able to have emotions, feel sensations, see, hear, and make rational decisions. We can also make non rational decisions. These decisions are usually influenced by sources that are unknown to us as we make them. They usually are the result of something that we have heard or something that we have seen. They are past memories that influence most of our actions whether we know it or not. When we make these decisions they can result in perfection or they can end up being a tragedy. However, when we examine the consequences and their opposites we tend to have a better chance of making the right decisions. What does this mean? If I had made any sense at all, this means that when we make our decisions on the basis that we want to be saved we are living outside of our consciousness. If conciseness is truly a gift from God, then why not live inside it?
Thirdly, God gave us spirituality. Spirituality seems to be something more than just mere consciousness. If I take the idea of the world and me, I can separate the two by saying I have a separate I.D (energy balance) than the other individuals in it. I have choices and if I have a choice than I can speak my own mind and if that is the case than the world revolves around something more than just my consciousness. There seems to be a spiritual since that is feeding all of us. Everything from what we see, what we hear to what we smell, and taste seem to be our conciseness but how these things make us feel is our spirituality. Every spirit seems to be the same however, when it works with the consciousness it transforms because every individual has a different energy balance. We are not all alike in our experiences. We are not all alike in our body and physical structure or in our genetic makeup. However, we seem to hold the same general sense of our surrounding. This seems to be the result of our spirit. In addition, it seems to be the ultimate gift we have received from God and it seems to be the driver of all things.
