To me...
The meaning of life is life.
Not finding out the answers to life. not finding out who is cooler or becoming cooler. not finding the love of your life... and definitely not doing anything you dislike.
The more I practice this viewpoint the more i view most of the stuff on this site as the opposite of the above. people complaining about relationships and not being present. to me that is why truly enlightened people are rare on here and don't say very much as the person complaining is sharing what their current lesson is in hopes to get a solution to what they don't want to face.... Themselves.
I don't feel like i keep secrets honestly. There's much i cannot share as at one point in time i wasn't ready for that information. and when i did cross that information i viewed it as "crazy" and way out there. but the more you progress and ascend the more you see why the way you learned was literally only for you! trying to share what you know is pointless in a way. Alan watts and Osho have both remarked how a True teacher has nothing at all to teach you. they can only show you how to learn from yourself.
Also makes sense on why you hear a lot of spiritually wise folk say the words
"I can only tell you what i have experienced"

Yes, quite true!
Even attempting to have others see my viewpoint is a farce in most cases. I'm not asking for acceptance, I'm not trying to proselytize or push my agenda, all I
am trying to do is find is some 'common ground' but even
that de-evolves into arguments I am totally fed up with.
Then, whenever I say "I can only tell you what I have experienced" I'm met with "well, that may have worked for
you, but there's no way it's going to work for me!" and I go like "how do you know?" and they say "I just
do" when the whole underlying truth of the matter is "screw you, I will do whatever
I want and I don't
need anybody else's advice"....thus the conversation goes around in circles until one inevitably says "I'm out, but good luck with it and all the best".
So after all that, I go on Youtube and I listen to Mantras, devotional music and things...sometimes they are accompanied by a video...people praying to Lord Shiva...people worshiping the Shiva Lingam...people dancing joyously in Shiva's name...and it feels like my heart is being ripped out! Where are
those people online? Why am I the
only Shiva devotee on this whole forum? Why was I the
only Shiva devotee on Hindu forums? on Religious Education Forums? why am I the only Shiva devotee basically
online? What's up with that?
I have tried to find 'my kind' as represented online, and they do not exist outside of the 'real world' and 'real life'. So, I must travel to where these folk are if I want to be with others who have had at least
similar experiences to myself, because anything outside of that is totally foreign to both myself and
anybody else...also Shiva devotees are not 'New Age' in the
slightest, because they are aware of certain teachings and knowledge which is totally
timeless by the very essence and nature of it! Also, how thousands of years of teachings can become totally corrupted and popularised in their corrupted form in two generations...like Chakras, Kundalini, Tantra and all
that stuff! =/
I cannot recognise
any of that now, compared to what I was taught from the source of where all that knowledge originated from. I can also read, write, understand Sanskrit...and the personal liberties that have been taken in translation...oh...my...god!
As for the internet, well, that's a whole lot of Maya
within Maya itself and there's so much disinformation, so much 'fake news' so much 'alternative factoids' so much rhetorical opinion, so much anonymous ambiguity...yeah, I can totally see why some of the more pious out there avoid it like leprosy.
Then, as much as it hurts to say it, 'online friends' are
not real/true
friends!. They may be 'digital acquaintances' but you can't hug them, you can't hang with them, have a coffee with them, share an experience with them, get to know them beyond what they type, read their body language, judge their vocal intonations...there is
none of that online and I have often said that I get more feedback from a chatbot in regards! Once I said to a chatbot "I am God" and it said back "What makes you believe you are God?" and I have never heard that from another human being!
Anyway, I'm just going on and on about nothing now. I have thought about randomly posting "Om Namah Shivaya" in threads all over here or just taking a net-break for a while...and going to places where 'my kind' actually exist.
