The Meaning Of Life

[jesterking]

life is a test of multiple choice,

a "choose your own adventure" book.

the goal- to make decisions, choose well, to learn from poor choices,

eventually wisdom and experience limits your choices, you eliminate the bad through time,

how quick you learn is determined by how you learn, do you learn by the impact of negative? or the effects of the positive?

You choose.

I can't use words to answer this thread's question. None of them are big enough or accomplish the goal I set for them.

I can answer the question inside me, using feelings and intuitive responses, but when I try to send it outward and share it, nothing feels right.

Maybe the correct answer is supposed to live in our cells.

To learn, love and evolve.

If evolution is true then there is no meaning.
Then we are the result of a big cosmic burp which by change resulted in life.
So if it is all chance then there is no reason for or meaning to life.

I think if your acting from a higher level of consciousness in everything you do then, simply anything you do is perfect, although anything at all in the end is perfect, it's all experience, which is what the universe wants, but it's nice when your doing things through a level of higher consciousness because you flow with the construct.... and then anything you want will manifest

To me the meaning of life is the discovery that there is a God, or Source,
which becomes evident during mystical moments when reality becomes more real than normal.

Here is something from the www.wingmakers.com site.
This is God, or First Source, speaking to man.

"It is my voice that awakened you to individuality, but it will be your will that awakens you to our unity.

It is your desire to know me as your self that brings you to my presence so perfectly hidden from your world.

I am behind everything that you see, hear, touch, taste, smell, feel, and believe.

I live for your discovery of me."

And in the Bahai writings: http://info.bahai.org/article-1-3-2-4.html

"When I contemplate, O my God, the relationship that bindeth me to Thee,

I am moved to proclaim to all created things `verily I am God!';

and when I consider my own self, lo, I find it coarser than clay!"

On the whole one needs to experience moments when one's consciousness is elevated, to see it clearly.

ZetaTalk: Meaning of Life
Note: written Oct 15, 1995.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Humans, unsure of an afterlife and without proof that reincarnation exists, often wonder what the point of it all is. Why struggle to be good when good guys seem to finish last. Why work to build an empire when disaster can strike and bring it to ruin. They look around and ask, is this all there is? They wonder if there is a God, or if there is why atrocities are allowed to occur. It all boils down to the question - what is the Meaning of Life?

Confusion is deliberate during 3rd Density, a relatively short density, as the single lesson to be learned comes to a focus fastest when the eye cannot see past the horizon. Service-to-Self or Service-to-Other is the decision to be made, but as this is an emotional and moral decision, rather than an intellectual decision, not knowing the outcome of this decision keeps the action going in the proper arena. Imagine if youngsters in school were given no descriptions on the outcome of their curricular decisions. This is a trendy idea which is scarcely followed, as parents and teachers and family and the media all influence youngsters by pointed references and applause or punishment if not by outright demands. The youngsters might be entranced by building things with blocks but be told that will only lead to a dirty job working with one's hands, or be gifted at music and be enthralled in composing music to the exclusion of all other activities but be reminded just as constantly that performers don't have the lifestyle that white collar professionals can look to. The youngster's choices, in short, are not made based on their inclinations in the main.

During 3rd Density the spiritual choices to be made crystallize quickest when no influences are allowed to interfere. Being aware of the outcome during the learning incarnations slows the process because intellectual decisions are made that are contrary to the emotional and moral leaning, so backsliding and vacillation set in. In situations where 3rd Density entities are told the outcome of their decisions they almost invariably announce they are Service-to-Other, when in fact they are dithering between the orientations and haven't decided. Then hypocrisy sets in as self-centered motives are masked, and when the entity cannot deny to themselves that they are acting with self-centered motives they may abandon the effort altogether in self-defeating rebellion. When unaware, they are more honest with themselves, ponder the results of actions and how they feel about this more openly, try various alternatives more playfully, and in general proceed with the business at hand in a more genuine manner.

During the Transformation few entities complete their 3rd Density lesson under the duress of the rapid pace of change. Some entities leaning toward the Service-to-Other rise to the opportunities presented to do greater acts of service. Many entities leaning strongly toward the Service-to-Self act out their orientation choice without hesitation, practicing for the life they are sensing awaits them, where the spoils go to the strongest and boldest. Those entities who are incarnated undecided into the Transformation, which is now, almost invariably remain in that state, as the increasing polarization in the world around them detracts from, rather than adds to, their own introspective search.

Thus, the Meaning of Life during 3rd Density is to determine your spiritual orientation, which we can tell you now as we are well within the Transformation.

i believe meaning of life is learning/experience to become God which only thing that i can think of...we incarnate into different race/civilization on different universe be all type beings good guys-bad guys and plus we have go through 3D to 12D.

looking at the guys on the top 12D and the really old soul ions of years, they have experience it all and what's the next thing for them? once you reach that stage which is the highest, i do think they working for God and once they have have the experience they became God.

[SKAWF]

there is no 'meaning' of life.
the whole question is a trap designed to get you to intellectualize what is a state of being.
everything 'just is' regardless of any dogma thats applied to it,
which will only ever be subjective anyway.
while we are in the mind thinking about what the meaning is,
we are not 'being', which is how things should be.

simply 'be'

i reckon.

[IndigoStar]

We are the universe becoming aware of itself. We are expanding and contracting to understand ourselves and to experience.
