What do I want to come of this?



What is the purpose? 
 What purpose could it serve? 
What is it for?



Who can resolve the senseless conflicts which a dream presents? What could the resolution mean in truth?
What purpose could it serve?
What is it for?

Salvation cannot make illusions real, nor solve a problem that does not exist.
ACiM - Workbook Lesson 96
Preoccupations with problems set up to be incapable of solution are favorite ego devices for impeding learning progress. In all these diversionary tactics, however, the one question that is never asked by those who pursue them is,
"What for?"
 This is the question that
you must learn to ask in connection with everything.
What is the purpose?
 Whatever it is, it will direct your efforts automatically. When you make a decision of purpose, then, you have made a decision about your future effort; a decision that will remain in effect unless you change your mind. ACiM Text - Chapter Four - The Illusions of the Ego - The Ego-Body Illusion
The test of everything on earth is simply this;
'What is it for?'
 The answer makes it what it is for you. It has no meaning of itself, yet you can give reality to it, according to the purpose that you serve. Here you are but means, along with it. God is a Means as well as End.
ACiM Text - Chapter Twenty-four - The Goal of Specialness - Section 8 - The Meeting Place
In any situation in which you are uncertain, the first thing to consider, very simply, is
"What do I want to come of this? What is it for?"
 The clarification of the goal belongs at the beginning, for it is this which will determine the outcome.
