Meaning of life

[Moonglow]

Hello,

Been awhile since peeking in here.

Just a thank you for those that take the time to share.

I came to another current conclusion on this theme recently, that the reason for my life or any sentient life is just to experience it as it happens or as it is. I have had a lot of varied experience in life and feel that should stand me in good stead.

And what exactly are we supposed to experience through living? Bliss? Joy? Sorrow? Misery? All of them? And for what purpose? To live up to the demands and expectations of a divine being or higher self?

Meaning of life?????


What a question, and asked so often. Something humans are obviously struggling with.
It depends from which perspective we are trying to look at it.
As a human, as the spirit attached to the human form, or perhaps creation.
What gives this reality to creation?
To me as Rah nam, this is the entity that came to this reality to be of service, it is a means to an end.

And the human race is struggling to come to this end, at the moment.
But we are hopeful, me and my people.

Hi SlayerOfLight,

Feel can't answer the questions you pose for you, so just give my take on it.

Meanings change and find this holds true for me in regards to life.
I don't feel there is any entity demanding or expecting that I meet up to certain criteria. Others may feel differently about this, which is thier outlook.

Life has its highs and lows and through these do my best to get through it all.
That's all I can do.
Others may say or find meanings which may be felt is the purpose of living, but these seem to vary.

So, just express my take on it and learn what is felt needed. If it makes sense, resonates, feeling it, then that's what is going on at present. If not may not be for me and move on.

There are times of joy and times of sorrow. That's to me, is how life goes. What meaning is found is what one may or not feel at present.

It fluctuates and changes for me. Atleast this is how I seem to experience life.

You pose good questions.

Hi Rah nam,

I hold hope as well the we, as a people find ways to work it out with each other and with in ourselves.

Yes, can agree depends upon how it is looked at and from what perspective.

Life is super advance one of a kind 3D game.
Where you choose what you want to do before you play.
But the fun part is to play the game without knowing you’re a god with full control of everything in your world.

The point is to feel. Have fun. Get hurt. Break hearts and have yours demolished. Create smiles and help lift others up and experience being down with no help. Learn to lift yourself and learn to accept help.

The meaning of life is to stop trying to find the meaning of life and to start enjoying everything that happens whether it be “bad” or “good” either way enjoy it that’s why you came.

I feel the question about the meaning of life is only asked by those who have no answer in their life, nor do the answers from others help any, if at all.

I believe it was Joseph Campbell who said something like; ( not directly quoting here)

Life is not about finding meaning, but about what you experience through living.

Which brings back the thought that living life gives meaning to life and the meanings being sought or thought to be sought are unfolding right before our eyes.

We and all living beings give meaning to life.

What are the thoughts and insights on this?

There exist an ancient Egyptian pyramid to honor 4 gods. It is positioned such that only 2 days a year light is able to light the face of 3 of them. But one always sits in darkness, Ptah. It is an Egyptian deity and considered the demiurge who existed before all other things and, by his will, thought the world into existence. #meaning
