What is the purpose of the Human Instrumentality Project?


The Human Instrumentality Project is one of the main plotlines in the Neon
Genesis Evangelion original series. However, other than a few speculative
mentions, there isn't concrete information as to what purpose it serves.

What purpose does the Human Instrumentality Project serve, why is it
necessary, and what part does it plays against the Angels (if any)?




The ultimate goal is to unite all the individual souls of mankind into one
singular being.

This would create an existence where nobody existed individually, but as part
of a whole.

This way, the flaws in every living being would be complemented by the
strengths in others, thus erasing the insecurities in people's hearts.
Creating the ultimate, god-like being.

To achieve Instrumentality, the merging of Adam and Lilith, resulting in the
Third Impact, is required.

Both [Seele](http://wiki.evageeks.org/Third_Impact#Seele.27s_version) and
[Gendo](http://wiki.evageeks.org/Third_Impact#Gendo_Ikari.27s_version) had
their own idea of instrumentality. Neither was
[realized](http://wiki.evageeks.org/Third_Impact#Actual_Third_Impact).
