Default Re: The meaning of life.

Dear Time is short.
In essence you have it.
The ones who are enlightened have said since the begining of time that the whole purpose of life is "Know thy self" in other words to become enlightened to the Truth that the Self which is what you are is an aspect of God and made in His likeness is imortal, the body is not the Self just the vehicle to see us through this earthly experience.
There is only one soul and you are that.
So the purpose is to let go of ignorance.
To realize that you are One.
This is done through the Grace of God.
"My" part is to let go of conditioning -- belief systems -- judgment-- duality-- positionality.
To the best of my ability to develope unconditional love-- to be kind to all life at all times no matter what.

Reading David Hawkins is a great help to "me", he has several books on the subject. Also Ramana Maraharshi on "Self enquirey"
Truth is eternal and unchanging not a point of view but the moment it is spoken of it becomes a concept.
Truth can only be known as your own presence which is one with God.

Namaste Chris
