This is a hard question to answer and an even harder answer to understand why when perfection and Eternity is our true nature. Let's start with the state of being you were in before your birth. In this realm of pure Space we are in our original state of Awareness or perfection. Being free from the attributes of energy we are in a particle-less environment, and this Eternal home is all powerful and in total control. In this original state of being you had no idea what existence was, because there was no idea of nonexistence, and there were no points of reference to compare to in empty space. You are in Absolute Space like everything else, and the universe is unperceivable, not known by us. Apparently physical eyes (among other things) are needed and that takes a birth into energy, however in Eternity anything that evolves (energy) is a product of time and not a part of eternal realm. Although thankfully, you can see in this subtle realm of Absolute space and you have an Awareness of being present. But the grosser aspects of energy are invisible, and you simple see right through them like they never existed.

In order for you to understand the purpose of your existence and God, the plunge into manifestation was necessary. Being a born entity gives you that feeling of a knowable existence through energy, which wasn't there before, and now the ability to create life like our Creator and to become aware of your Self like the creator. The miracle of life is such an unbelievable gift, but this reward comes with conditions that are binding. Another word, after our departure from the belly of God this sense of existence with others is the real meaning of life, and the separate ego isn't. We were one of the same and now we are individuals feeling separated from our true home. And, this does give you a platform to start searching from and out of necessity you find yourself searching for home. Because in order to find the way back you have to voluntarily search for it, and in this process the surrendering of all attributes comprised of energy is required. To find your true nature is the reason for living and there is no choice in the matter, nor is there anything more important. This is not an easy task, because we love who we are and what we created. But, what you can keep is this Awareness of being present by being aware of your true Self and a sense of meaning, which wasn't there before.

Together we are whole and the whole can't exist without its parts. Now for a very short time you feel separated and different, and you carry your new found burdens proudly, but now you have to leave them behind. Finding home you realize you never really left and you were hanging on to a dimension, which was a blemish on your natural state. You are now aware that the universe is there. The functioning principle of existence and the meaning of the Almighty is understood. You would not unknowingly leave the Almighty's side now!
