In essence we are spirit that has condensed or incarnated into matter. So if we are spirit, what have we come here on Earth to do? Spirits love to dwell in empty and pure spaces. So really we’ve come here to dwell in peace. We haven’t come to suffer. We haven’t come for pleasure. Though both of these do exist abundantly on Earth and we tend to stray into them. In essence we’ve come just to dwell in peace. And we start within the home, the hearth and our heart. Hearth can refer to a few different things:
A fireplace or stove: This is the most common meaning. It's the place where a fire is built to provide heat or cook food.
The home or family: Hearth can also symbolize the heart and center of a home or family, a place of warmth and comfort.
The ground or earth: In some contexts, hearth can refer to the ground or earth itself.
