We are beings of energy, which seems to have a need to have a physical form? Why is such a exsistance needed for an already higher form that we already are?

The reason for our physical vehicle ( the body ) is to learn that we manifest things with our thoughts and vibration: to know that we create our "reality" and we can control this "reality"by consciously creating with thought as we head back to source. To know that there is no reality other than the one that we are creating for ourselves.

80% of humanity, the religious folks, don't need to ask the meaning of life, the church tells them....the supernatural explanation. But the rest of us can't swallow religious dogma, because there's no evidence. Nobody can prove that there life after death, that people are tortured or rewarded after life or that there's invisible spirits running around.
I've come to two conclusions recently:
1. Life has no meaning
2. Life has a million meanings.
First, there's a certainty that death and annihilation awaits not only you, but the Earth in general. It's an astonomical certainty that our sun will supernova and leave the earth a burnt crisp, not to mention all the other extinction level events around the corner.
Second, the million things that give us meaning are the pleasurable experiences we can conjure up during the short period we are here on the earth, in the form of the relationships we have with our kids and other people, and the 'housekeeping' types of purposes. What i mean by that are the curing disease, ending hunger, improving literacy, reducing crime, preventing war, helping other kinds of things.
So the bottom line is, we only have a temporary meaning to life, to reduce pain and increase pleasure, other than that everything is lost to oblivion.
To be or not to be? "To be" is temporary and "not to be" is inevitable.....

Monty Python (?) asked the same question in the form of a movie.
Did not answer the question, but it was a roaring good British comedy for its day.

The meaning of life is to spread the word and goodness of the lord...
