With all repect to your understanding and feelings as well I'd just say the mental life you and I enjoy is an illusionary one. In particular the notion that human beings are somehow seperate from or above the natural world. We are not. We are hairy (some more than others) little mammals walking around on a rock hurtling through the void of space. Whatever purpose we fulfill the earth itself has determined it through its evolutionary system and it (our purpose) exists on a plain other than the mental one in which what we call our conciousness exists. I could be wrong of course and I realize many folks are hoping that I am.
