No. I don't think there is some higher self that thinks, makes decisions, and so forth. The brain/mind system of human beings does that. The natural evolutionary processes of the living system we know as The Earth has caused us to be formed in the manner we find ourselves in. Is there some "purpose" as human beings think of it? Probably not. The whole "purpose" thing is locked in the realm of the mind and probably has no correlation to things existing in the real world. But if we are created by the Earth for some purpose it would seem to be to take our DNA off the planet and into space since we are the only life form here capable of achieving space flight.
What is the purpose of the planet Mercury? Does it have one? Or does it exist simply because the laws of physics caused it to be formed? Human beings exist. Any "purpose" for the individual is self determined but is that self determined purpose "real"? Probably only in our minds.
