Well, Christ=Life=Reality=Good.
One might ask, what is Christ about?
But people are more interested to understand what their own apparent existence is all about.
Fundamentally, man's existence is about CHANGE. When change comes comfortably, it's called "life". When change comes rapidly and radically (uncomfortably too fast) it's called "death". In this way, man's existence is oxymoronic: neither alive nor dead...some twilight zone where the dead never die.
But what change?
Man is an expression of a changed, changeable, and/or changing Christ. Thus, man is all about changing THE UNCHANGEABLE. Man is an attempt, within an imagination zone carved out of the mind of Christ, to PROVE that there is MORE to Christ than already exists, as is. Man is a kind of proof-of-concept. Man is the product of a question, a naive (stupid) question, that can only be answered in a strange domain i call IMAGINATION. The imagination arises to explore concepts that go beyond the known reality into an unknown unknown. The intention is not to destroy the known (Christ), but rather to ADD to the known what may be called "unknown". This unknown domain is ruled by FAITH, which is the strange ability to "manifest" whatever a mind wishes to be "true", regardless it is "real". When talking about "reality", we must always be talking about Christ. So, when talking about "faith", we must always be talking about what we wish Christ to be, whether or not it is true.
Man, then, is a concept that arises in a psychological exploration beyond the known Christ (beyond the known Reality) as the mind of Christ wanders further and further away from reality, it is lead onward by it's "faith" (ignorance of Christ). Man is armed with the ability to reach...to reach out and get things...things he needs...as well things he does not need. Always, man is reaching out for MORE than what he currently has. This expresses the concept that begets man in the first place: Man is an expression of a Christ that reaches out for MORE than what Christ is and/or has at present, as if there was MORE to be had. As Christ reaches out into the unknown, through faith, man becomes the manifest expression of that concept.
The objective is either to gain something that Christ does not have, or to see if anything can be gained, in order to add to what Christ already is. As this concept functions, it produces a bifurcated existence where opposites seem possible to exist together: where life and death seem to coexist together, and where good and evil seem to coexist together.
In truth, opposites cannot coexist together. Nevertheless, through faith, opposites are made to coexist, producing many strange phenomena such as mankind. For example, it's not possible for light and darkness to coexist. But through faith, man is made to depend on alternating "light" with it's opposite, darkness. Note that i put quotations around the term "light", because man's light is not really any kind of knowledge, which is what light really is. Man's "light" is a bomb that will eventually explode, reverently called a "star" or "the sun". Another example, it's not possible for life and death to coexist, and yet, man is "proof" that life and death can coexist, depending on the speed of change. Nor is it possible to be awake and asleep at the same time. And yet, man exists by alternating "awake" with asleep. I put quotations around "awake" because man's woke-ness is not the same as knowledge, which is what awake/awareness is really all about.
In summary, man "life" is about juxtaposing the qualities of Christ, with the opposite of those qualities. In every case, the qualities of Christ are "mocked", as in FAKED, pretended, or misrepresented. Man's "life" therefore, is a mockery of the Life of Christ. Man's "good" is a mockery of the Good of Christ. Man's "knowledge" (light) is a mockery of the Knowledge of Christ. In this way, every quality that belongs to Christ is expropriated and mocked. Then, in addition to the mockery, an opposite quality is ADDED so that there might be MORE than the qualities of Christ, and so, MORE THAN CHRIST. For example, Christ only has light (knowledge). But man has both light and darkness, and so, has MORE than Christ. Christ has only knowledge, awareness, awakeness, whereas man has both awareness and unconsciousness (asleepness), having MORE than Christ. In all cases however, none of man's qualities rise higher than a MOCKERY of Christ's qualities. This includes man's so-called "life".
Between each mockery and it's juxtaposed opposite, there is a continuum of qualities that borrow more or less from each extreme. Between man's light and dark there are 50 shades of gray, so-to-speak.
Arguably, none of this has any real meaning or purpose. We might also ask what was the purpose of the proverbial prodigal son's journey away from his home, the proverbial "kingdom" (of Good)? He ended up working for peanuts in a pig sty, hungry. Theoretically, the prodigal son might have thought there was something to gain by leaving and exploring. But it turned out there was nothing to gain, and everything to lose.
Man's purpose, therefore, is theoretically to GAIN something that Christ does not already have. It is Christ, expressing itself as "man" (through man), that is attempting add this gain. In the attempt to make a gain, Christ's faith builds a whole new "world": an alternate "universe" so to speak. In theory, Christ gains this entire new "reality", adding a neo-Christ (so to speak) to the original Reality/Christ. And in this attempt to gain, he stands to lose everything, especially his "soul", the very memory of where he came from, and the knowledge of what he actually is: Christ.
So, rather than speculate about man's purpose, maybe it's better to reason about Christ's INTENTION when manifesting man as an aspect of a neo-Christ (new world/universe/reality) within the domain of imagination through faith. We've heard about the "intelligent design". Now i've discussed it. It is certainly intelligent, but it's purpose, to ADD to Christ, is IMPOSSIBLE and therefore ultimately unachievable.
This explanation of the design should caution any man from claiming to have a "life" or to "live". This is actually dangerous, for whenever imagination goes up against reality, it is the imagination that is in danger. When faith (or the products of faith) clash with knowledge, its the products of faith which are in danger. Furthermore, the self-sabotage function of imagination is still very much in effect, if ever, whenever, and wherever anything that is not Christ claims to exist. This claim to existence goes directly against Christ. But it is not Christ that can be hurt by this: rather, it is that which mocks (pretends to be, misrepresents) Christ that is vulnerable to the danger of what would destroy Christ if it could. To be clearer, anything that could be added to Christ would ultimately destroy Christ because ultimately, any such concept would be some kind of opposition that could not coexist with Reality.
Despite high hopes for (the concept of) man, the FUNCTION of man works toward the sabotage of Christ. If man could exist, Christ could not...and visa versa. As such, the "relationship" between Christ and man is CONVERSE. For man to rise, Christ must fall (die). Conversely, for Christ to rise, man must fall (die, disappear, cease and desist). Beware, then, any group of mankind that advertises a "relationship" with Christ, but depends upon the "death of Christ" for it's continued existence (salvation).
Man's purpose is to EXIST . This is accomplished through a strange relationship between birth rates and death rates. Mankind exists continually even as mankind is constantly dying. However, man's existence is not in the best interests of the existence of Christ. In truth, mankind only exists for what has faith in mankind. If the faith was withdrawn, mankind would disappear into the null and void twilight zone from which faith takes it's substance. Individually, many a man wishes it were true that he/she could live (exist) "forever". This would be considered some kind of "salvation". But it is not the salvation of Christ, which requires that mankind cease and desist from mocking the life of Christ, and adding to it some strange opposite ("death") to get more than what Christ has/is.
I would not say that the Life of Christ is "about" anything. It does not have an "intention", as if something has not yet been achieved. If it's possible to be "about" contentment and satisfaction, then that is what the Life of Christ is "about". The Life of Christ is about constant joy, or even a constantly increasing joy. The constantly increasing joy may be due to constant pro-creation, each Christ sharing everything with each next generation Christ. This is possible only as each generation remains the same, not adding, nor subtracting from the perfection. Besides this, there isn't anything more perfect, or less perfect, as there can be no such thing as more or less perfect. The Life of Christ is the enjoyment of a perfection. The experience is perfect joy, happiness and bliss constantly if not actually increasing constantly.
You really need to figure out how to explain this stuff in a way ordinary people can grasp before you hit them in the head with this. I, for one, would very much love to understand it. But you write in such a way that is beyond me, and very little I can do gets me that first building block as a foundation of where you're going. Before I can get even that, you're off to some distant galaxy and I have no idea what is going on.
I'm OK with being called stupid.
