Life itself is an opposition of sorts, an opposition of the Soul to Spirit, God. The soul incarnates in a body on the 3d physical plane, finds nothing but opposition and suffering in life and feels abandoned by God. The truth is that the Soul never really is in opposition to God, it is just tricked into foolishly believing in such a notion.
It is like God itself wants to know what it is like to oppose itself (I am divided for Love’s sake—Liber Al) so it created us all as a giant Singular Soul, divided that into myriad holograms and/or fractals (each part being a both a copy of the original Soul as well as containing all of the information/knowledge/intelligence/wisdom of the original Soul within itself) and then scattered all of us individual souls across the purely imaginary universal body of God…and then a 3d physical representation of that ideation was manifested—a physical body within a physical universe. All this was done so God could experience Itself. It divided for the sake of feeling the force of attraction called Love, which is meant to bring back to One all the little souls across the universe, returning eventually to the original big Soul from which it originally sprang.
Imagine the Soul of the whole universe compresses itself into a physical body, just to have a point of perspective, a frame of reference, enduring the horrible pain and suffering of a sense of separation (which is just false perception). The whole process can be likened to a gigantic Inhalation and then a huge relief that comes with the Exhalation, the letting go of the physical body, letting go of the separation of life, returning back into the Absolute Joy of the original Soul, returning to God.
After realizing that the separation was purely an illusion (which is Enlightenment), then the only reason any Enlightened Soul would return to this temporary separation again (via reincarnation) is to help others to realize the same Truth, so they can end their own illusion and stop suffering as well. This desire to assist others arises from the Compassion/Love one feels upon realizing that the separation was a Grand Illusion, that we are all One, which naturally causes the realized person to feel tremendous pain knowing that the whole world is suffering needlessly. This pain naturally spurs one into action directed towards liberating others from the pain of the Illusion that overwhelms us all.
