THE MEANING OF LIFE:

The meaning of Life, as I understand it, is to be in a state of awareness of Who You Really Are or/and Who You Choose To Be.

In fact, there is no meaning to life. Life is meaningless. (That's a hard blow to the ego isn't it) There is no meaning to life because there is nothing we have to do in order to live. Life simply is. There is no thing that you MUST do in order to live. What you CAN do though is circle the path of enlightenment, or more accurately, path the circle of enlightenment. For Life is a circle and you are at liberty to choose where, anywhere you wish, you want to be on that circle.

Back to the first point: Who You Really Are is God. Buddha, the energy of the universe or the Devil, whatever you wish to call it is up to you but I think that most of us here agree on the same understanding of "God".
The meaning of Life is thus to be aware that you are God (Buddha, Chi, Life, Energy, Change, whatever you call it), and to live life with this awareness.

Now, the purpose of Life is to experience Who You Choose To Be. As with the meaning, there is no true purpose to Life apart from that which you give it. Who You Choose To Be can be anything that you can imagine and is done the instant you enter the realm of the Relative (For you already know Who You Really Are in the realm of the Absolute...(God)).

Hope this answers your question(s) Sauce_man.

This is the Truth as I can best comprehend it,
