Section 1 | God’s Original Plan

Has anyone seriously thought about this question: What exactly is God’s purpose in creating us?

Even those who do not believe in God will ask themselves in a certain late night, or at a moment of being hurt or lost—

"Why was I born? What is my significance?" The two most important days in life have always been described this way:

"There are two most important days in your life: the day you were born, and the day you figure out why." —— Mark Twain

The poem that has influenced me most deeply is Long Song Journey (Chang Ge Xing), written by Li Mi, the "White-Robed Prime Minister" of the Tang Dynasty, at the age of eighteen:

"Heaven covers me, Earth carries me; did Heaven and Earth create me with an intent or not? I advise you to seek the matters of a hundred years; strive in your career as if rowing a boat across the five lakes." Throughout history and across cultures, everyone at some point in their life has asked the same question: What did God (Heaven) create us for?

However, most of us live in anxiety, dissatisfaction, scarcity, and exhaustion.

The ancients said: "In life, things that do not go as one wishes account for eight or nine out of ten; those that can be spoken of to others are only two or three." If this were truly the case, then was God’s purpose in creating humans really to have us constantly experience failure, pain, and unfulfilled desires in this world?

What exactly is God’s original plan?

I want to use a story to illustrate this "Original Plan."

A Story of Roles and Destiny

There was a kindergarten preparing to perform a historical play.

At the very beginning, when choosing roles, the teachers and students assigned them based on everyone’s appearance, personality, characteristics, and the roles the children liked themselves. Some played the Emperor, some played the General, some played the Beggar, and some played the Martyr—every child was happy.

Because these roles were chosen by themselves and perfectly matched their nature and characteristics, everyone felt their performance was interesting and appropriate.

But one day, the parent of a child chosen to be the "Beggar" became dissatisfied.

Seeing the child’s ragged costume, she asked, "Why are you playing such a filthy role?"

The child answered, "I chose it myself; I think it’s a lot of fun."

The parent said, "No, this role is unlucky, and the lines are too few. Why can't you play the Emperor?"

So she went to the school and demanded that the child be changed to the Emperor. Seeing this, other parents refused to be outdone and all demanded that their children play Emperors or Generals.

The school had no choice but to change to exam-based screening.

People who originally didn't want to compete began to compete; thus, tutoring, buying props, hiring teachers, giving gifts... all sorts of means were exhausted.

Ultimately, the "Emperor" role was taken by the child whose parents sacrificed the most—but this child did not like the role. During the performance, he was uncomfortable, nervous, and performed poorly, feeling very depressed himself.

To appease more parents, the school had to greatly increase the number of "good roles": Emperors, Ministers, Generals, Scholars...

The script was forced to undergo major changes, the story lost its original structure and beauty, and the whole play became neither one thing nor the other.

Most of the children were playing roles they neither liked nor were suited for, performing with hardship and unhappiness;

Parents, teachers, and screenwriters all exhausted a vast amount of energy;

Everyone was exhausted, and everyone felt "unsatisfied."

Thus, people lamented: In this world, things that do not go as one wishes account for eight or nine out of ten. What they did not know was—

The original script of this play was a masterpiece that had won international awards, and the most popular role was precisely that Beggar.

This is exactly God’s original arrangement for creating us:

Everyone has a role that suits them best, and every role is designed by God with love. #### Why Did God Create Us? This question, of course, has many theological explanations.

But Divine Success Study is not a theological paper; it is written for everyone who wants to succeed and understand the meaning of life.

What we want to express is:

God’s truth is always there, but the language used to explain it can be updated; metaphors can be updated; the methods of understanding can be updated.

Below is a metaphorical explanation based on "understandable modern knowledge"—not a physics demonstration, but a way to help us more easily grasp God's intent.

Eden, Quantum States, and the Emergence of the Self (A Metaphorical Explanation)

God, out of love, created Adam and Eve, allowing them to enjoy eternal happiness with Him in the Garden of Eden.

That was a "Quantum State" of life—

No death, no division, no opposition between self and others.

But when Eve was tempted by the serpent and ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil with Adam,

Self (ego awareness) emerged. And the emergence of the self is like a quantum state collapsing into a particle state,

Where life is squeezed from infinite dimensions into the material world.

However, God did not abandon man.

At the moment every new life is born, God breathes His "Spirit" into them.

He implants a unique original calling within—

That is their role, their script, and their destiny.

What humans need to do is to wash away the old subconscious structures through actual experiences in their life journey,

Allowing Grace to continuously replace the Self,

Restoring life to a state of harmony with God—

And finally returning to the Father’s side.

The True Search: Who Was I Created to Become?

the most important search in a person's life is not to chase more achievements, but to find one sentence:

"Who was I created to become?" When a person walks back to the position prepared for them, they have not only succeeded,

But have returned to the Father’s embrace.
