8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it?

I believe that human life exists so that the universe may know love, which I believe is the force that creates the entire universe. So, in order to experience love, we must exist in this dimension, and through our hardships, trials, and life we may come to know ourselves in the most potent form of love at the end our life. We are the chicken and the egg, the beginning of love and the culmination of love in the creation of a new universe. I am here simply to give, receive, and experience as much love and joy as possible, for that is what we are here for, and what we will return to. I believe that life, life force energy and life giving resources are the source of all value, and I respect and revere it as such.
