If this is true, then how is it best to spend one's time here?

in my understanding the thoughts you have, including whatever you think is the 'way it is' are just replicated in the energy fields in and around the body. As you become comfortable with whichever ones you have, it becomes kind of stagnant and you just eventually cycle through and through the same experiences over and over. Then comes death.
you can see this somewhat in the sense that you've seen the thought patterns you have take you 'away' from the senses in your body.
The people who eschew the 'norms' and meditate or whatever have exactly the same problem, the difference is that they have less of the 'in' with other people (the norms) so they get a bigger room to move around in. And they get to see some of the hidden mysteries as a result.
But the real problem is the idea that you 'should' have a 'meaning' of the 'way it is and should be'. It is like putting yourself in a prison. Very limiting. But again everyone does it so it is like a disease you just keep getting.
