Based upon my constant need to understand the inner workings of everything; from science to religion to life and death. I have come up with my theory of our purpose of humanity and why we are here on this earth. This will be an extremely long read, but bare with me. Hopefully I can keep you captivated.
The reason we are all on this Earth is to love. That's it. Not with me? I'll explain. Maybe you will be after I'm finished. 🙂
Now some people on this planet may not believe in the idea of reincarnation and that God only makes one of you, both physically and spiritually. I believe God does not make one of you physically again, but he does make you spiritually again and again. I have come to this realization fairly recently. Like today actually. We shouldn't completely dispel the theory all together and let me explain why.
Reincarnation is the "philosophical or religious concept that an aspect of a living being starts a new life in a different physical body or form after each biological death." Obviously, our physical forms do not reincarnate, so what else has to. Our souls/spirits, whichever you decide to call them. It's come back into new forms.
How does this tie into that here on this Earth our purpose is to love? Keep reading. 😉
Base upon the definition, when we die, we come back as a separate being or physical form. Okay.
I also believe that each and every living, breathing, moving thing on this planet has a soul. From the smallest microorganism to the largest and cognitive beings. However, each level of being has a specific soul level or understanding of the world and love and feelings. One being may understand what each are more than others will. Don't worry, I'll explain.
Take the lowest form of life or rather the smallest. A microorganism. It's entire existence is mainly to create, to reproduce and function strictly biologically. They have no understanding of feelings or the world around them, just what they are biologically created to do. With me?
Okay 👌🏾, good. So that you're not laying here reading a dissertation, I'll sum it up briefly. It is necessary for me to explain each part for it all to make sense, so again bare with me. 😊
Plants stay alive based upon their biological make up. They perform based upon their surroundings. There is no thinking that needs to be done for them to survive. Their plant biology, cells, etc keep them alive. They do not have a brain or any such to dictate their state of being. They just are. Okay, moving on.
Animals. Not only do animals use their biological make up to stay alive, they also use instinct. Instinct that tells them that danger is ahead. Another animal will eat them, and caring for their young. They know that they must feed, clean, teach their young to stay alive...BUT
Unlike plants, animals are capable of feeling of being sad, hurt, happy, even love. The most basic levels of feeling and lovd. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't believe me? Dogs and cats love without condition, elephants can die from broken hearts from losing the one they love ❤️. They just love, they just feel.
So now you are thinking... okay, this deals with reincarnation how? Let's keep going.
Humans. Not much different from animals. We use biology to stay alive, instinct to keep from danger, feelings and our ability to express said feelings, no matter how hurtful, or joyful they may be. The expression of feelings and how we express them are what sets us apart from the above. Our ability to understand (if we allow ourselves to) and comprehend.
You would think this ability would help with compassion and empathy towards one another, but it throws a wrench in the game when we rely on prejudices, false information, lower levels of comprehension or just plain on not wanting to understand anyone else, selfishness. Lots of times we love with conditions, due to the above and our lack of understanding of love and feelings. We tie in these false and harmful beliefs and teachings and believe them as true and reinforcing them with feelings. Some believe that there isn't any possible way I could love someone who doesn't think, look, dress like me. Those are conditions we place on love. A shame really. Ok, let's continue.
**Loving someone unconditionally should not be a crutch to stay in harmful and hurtful relationships. You are able to still love someone without being in a toxic relationship. Be careful. This is where self love come in.
Anyway, Because I believe each of the above have souls, and some level of comprehension. I believe we all incarnate as one of the above constantly, until we learn each lesson to acquire unconditional love. What?!? 😱 Yes, we do.
We incarnate as a few of the above to understand each level of love, of feelings, of being (being meaning how you operate biologically, you must understand that as well in order to love, I'll explain this as well.)
On a strictly biological level you learn what you as a person, animal, microorganism or plant do on a biological level. Incarnated as such first allows you to understand that at a biological level we are all the same. Nothing different sets us apart. Knowing this allows the blueprint of unconditional love.
Animals have the most basic understanding of feelings and love. They are happy because they are eating or being petted, they are sad because they aren't. They love because they want to. Not because of what something can do for it. They love. However, the concept of love isn't understood to them. As reincarnated as an animal, we learn the basic understanding of what feeling is, of what love is.
One could argue and say that new born babies love and feel this way, and they do. Based upon our ability to critically think or take in new information, these basic feelings do not stay basic. They become reinforced either good or badly. Taught prejudices, stereotypes, lack of love, too much love, etc it's stunts our understanding of love. Even though humans believe that thinking sets us apart and acquired knowledge helps our understanding of the world and People Sometimes it comes at a detriment.
Still with me? Good. 😊
Now after we have finally incarnated into humans with a new layer of understanding at each level or rather a new understanding of souls, we begin to incarnate into humans lastly.
Here is where it ties in:
After having the knowledge of being at a biological level and sentient level, we are able to finally learn to love at an advanced level of thinking. Being prejudice and using stereotypes to make someone feel unworthy of unconditional love is the lowest level understanding of what love and feelings are and what humans are capable of. However, Some humans are at a different level of understanding than others. They are at a different stage of thinking and comprehension. Selfishness and such gets in the way and they must learn a new lesson whether in this life or the next to continue the journey of unconditional love.
**Unconditional love means to love without condition regardless of what that person does, or is.
Reincarnation allows you to live a life each time differently to use those lessons to learn how to love unconditionally. Death sheds our physical being in order to transform to another to learn the different make ups of life.
I may have reincarnated a thousand times as a poor person, rich person, white person, black person, Asian person, different animal or plant. Each time I've come back it allowed me a new understanding of culture, class, living conditions, etc. without it, I wouldn't have learned empathy, sympathy, selflessness, etc. Each incarnate that I go through grows my souls understanding of what it means to be and to feel and to love.
Each life you live, you learn to not only love yourself unconditionally, but others around you unconditionally. Our spirits and souls are transformed with each reincarnation and soul level.
Reincarnation doesn't afford you the opportunity to remember who you were, just allows you to, at a souls level, remember that at one point you were in a position where you weren't so well off, or treated poorly, etc. it allowed you to empathize with others now, because you've been in positions where others may have shown you the same, or you have shown others the same.
Without learning how to be first, you can't learn how to feel first. Without learning how to feel first, you can't learn to love first. Without learning to love first, you can't love another. Without learning to love another, you can't love God.
God is the most almighty and highest form of unconditional love you can imagine. You can't love God, if you don't love ALL people. God is us, we are God. No matter what we do, or who we are, God loves us unconditionally. 🌎
When we have finally reached that level of love unconditionally, we are ready to be with God. No more lives, no more teachings. We are finally with God. That's it.
Our purpose as Humanity? Spread unconditional love to all, teach it. When all of humanity has reached Unconditional love, we will finally be with God. All of us... that's our purpose.
Whew!! Of you've read along this far, I appreciate you! Thank you. 😊
**Self Love- learning to love yourself without conditions. No matter how you look, talk, act or what anyone tell you negatively. Love yourself, first and through God.

The 5 stages of Grief
The citizens of this country, or more specifically the Black “citizens” of this country are in a repetitive and perpetual cycle of the 5 stages of grief. All stemming from the moment our African ancestors were stolen from their home, to a foreign land. A foreign land that has nothing but traumatized and terrorized us from the beginning. “Us?” you ask. Yes, that includes you too, the African “American” sitting in front of the screen reading this post. Believe it or not it’s still going on, in the good ol’ country of “The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave”. Your very own United States of America. This cyclical hell can repeat a stage as often and as many times as there are wounds being discovered and dug out, just to be patched improperly, unjustly if you will. Don’t believe me? Let me explain.
Stage One: Denial and Isolation
So here we are, having just been freed, given “rights” and finally counted as a human being, no longer property. Yay us, Right? They celebrate and I’m sure they thought to themselves “No longer are we in bondage, chains, this country cares about our struggle, our plight. Hey, we even fought in the war for this very country, surely they must accept us after that, right?” That’s what we keep telling ourselves. “Hey, we fight for this country, we work hard for this country, we help build this country, we are upstanding, law-abiding citizens! This country must see our worth now! No longer are we property, we get to be a human. I finally have the right to feelings. No longer am I viewed as the equivalent to the pig that they slaughter for sustenance , or currency to barter, I am a human." Fresh - faced children, wide-eyed and bushy tailed sent off to explore lands that does not belong to them, yet they build, despite an ounce of direction, just hope.
Stage 2: Anger
Now that we have built something for ourselves, we can finally live the “American Dream”. The white picket fence, 2.5 children, great job, the works. But wait? What’s that off in the distance, there yonder? They have just hung our African “American” neighbor, a police officer has just shot down our African “American” neighbor’s son. What else is there? They have just bombed our entire African “American” city, where our great jobs and white picket fences and 2.5 children live. *Gasp* What else? They have just implemented laws that say we can’t eat, drink, play, work, live, love, and just be where ever we want. we thought we were “citizens”, African “Americans” of this country. We are angry! We must do something about this.” So the Civil Rights era was born, the NAACP, marches and speeches in Washington D.C. begins. So sweet and docile, we shout “We want rights” We turn to the very place where we are “citizens” of, The United States of America, our “government” that is used to uphold laws that promote the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”.
Stage 3: Bargaining
“ Hey! United States of America! Since you are the cause of our suffering, you surely can change it, right? Help us, we are dying, we can’t find jobs, a good place to live, we want our white picket fences back. We want to live that American Dream. Can you help us, please? We will try to fit in better, we will try to assimilate better, we promise! We will let you share our culture, entertain you, we will try our hardest to even look like you. Try not to start any trouble, we will be better law-abiding citizens! We have a few African “Americans” here that will help negotiate better rights for us, peacefully, just give us some, help us.” "Is that all you want" they say. "Let us see what we can do" So they “remove” those laws that were hindering us from becoming African “Americans”. You can now drink at the same fountain, eat at the same restaurant, work at the same jobs, live in the same areas” We emerge from a war of unequal artillery, gleam of hope in our eye, because now, "They have given us the right to vote, own property, look, this country is nice to us…sometimes.” We convince ourselves again that the greater good for one, is the greater good for all. So we go and isolate ourselves, try to build once again.
Stage 4: Depression
“We have gotten our rights, we are the same as any other citizen in the United States, the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” we are African “Americans”, we are “citizens”. Rejoice, the time has come! But wait, we thought you had removed all of laws preventing us from being African “American citizens”. How come we still can’t get find good jobs, good schools, live in the same neighborhoods, why did our other African “American” friend just die by the hands of the cops? They get it, but we don't? But....... Well, where are the rights that you, the United States of America, the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave” have given to us. We thought you wanted to help us? We thought we were African “Americans” we thought we were “citizens” We even tried to be more like you! "Why are you doing this to us? I guess we weren’t African “Americans” at all, I guess we weren’t “citizens” at all….. You didn’t help us at all” Through a veil of illusion, they tell us that it is exactly what they've given to us. Though, we never asked them to uphold and abide by these in the face of justice. Clever, aren't they? We convinced ourselves that, that was apart of the packaged deal. The illusion of inclusion and our dilution has chipped and weathered away every letter in that word we love: HOPE.
Stage 5: Acceptance
So here we are, having just accepted that we are not African Americans, we are not citizens. They don’t care about our plight. If this is all that they will give to us, then we will have to accept what we have. It isn’t going to be better. We continue to entertain and give away us. We are empty shells, with Red, White, and Blue painted particularly and precisely over Black skin.
Stage ?: Change
Cracks begin to break the shell of injustice, transforming each pigment of red, blood that have been spilled by us from a country happy to use our help, but despises helping. White, of the societal norm, social constructs that have been placed on everyone with out this color biologically. Blue, the depressive state of our people. These colors just as weathered and worn as the word: HOPE. However, Restoration is a word. Just depends on which and for what you use it for.
