The purpose of life ("the lode of life") is to connect. From a cellular level to an interstellar level.  We are here to physically and emotionally connect with the world and the universe around us.  We must understand how we relate to the snail on the sidewalk to advanced lifeforms on other distant planets.  That is the game that we are in.

Advanced Beings Will Offer Humans the Following: 

In exchange for the cessation of the use of any and all animals for food, medical, and consumer production and research, we will be given an unlimited food source and medical advancement, including 3x our current lifespan.

In exchange for the cessation of all nuclear, dirty, and fossil fuels, and the destruction of all nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, we will be given unlimited clean energy.

In exchange for a unified world government with a fundamental and core belief that "the purpose of life is to connect," we will be given scientific advancement including interstellar travel.
