Unlike Mr. Tolle I have never CLAIMED to know why we're here, so why are you asking? And, no, I didn't repudiate EITHER of his "why we are here" statements, but only showed that he posited TWO separate definitive claims of why we're here... to illustrate the true nature of his words: vapidity.

"Goodheart" clashes with cynicism? Seriously? In THIS world? Are you suggesting that none of trump's critics, for example, are goodhearted? Are YOU not cynical of the man and his motives? LOL.
