Falsity of Purpose as a Concept

Our hopeless need and search for purpose in life is what keeps us from Transcendence. The belief that purpose can be found in religion or science is false. Purpose can only be found in the self. Religion is mans attempt at creating purpose from nothing, science is mans attempt to create purpose from observation and understanding. But both are flawed due to the limitations of human intellect and physical capacity for work. That some need a reason to be alive is a testament to their own inability to truly appreciate the experience of living on a very basic, experiential level. Yet, to say that to "experience" life is the purpose of life is also false, the most natural state of being is in blissful unconsciousness.
