On Atheism: There is only One Self.
We tend to forget that the letter 'A' means 'One' and that the meaning of the word "Theism" derived from Theos/Torah/Turiya means 'Consciousness'. In other words. There is only One Consciousness. We call it the Universe but it is Self really. Self has simply conceived itself to perceive itself as different so not to be by itself. Immaculate conception. As to the purpose for all this, the world and life? The purpose can be found if One reads between the lines of Genesis 2: 18. In essence. It is not good to be alone. The meaning of Life is Love.
