Why Are We Alive?

A woman says her grandson asked 'Why are we alive?'. When she asked him that question back, he said, 'Because our mind wants us to be.' She turns the question over to Rupert. Rupert responds that there are two reasons to be alive. The first is to discover our true life, which affects our inner life. The second reason is to express that truth, which affects our outer life. He suggests that her grandson was correct – the impulse to return to source, which he was expressing without realising it.
