    the meaning of life is the warmth from a sweater we knit ourselves… – you find your own meaning in your own chosen purpose, goal, ideology and find your own deeper meaning in the pursuit of that purpose, goal, ideology…

    The universe didn't give us a blank page to write on. So much has already been done that has lead to this point. What we can make, or create with this time is sadly very limited

    What if there is no self? What if one's sense of self is an illusion? That is what the non dual perspective suggests, that there is and never was a self. There is nothing behind everything. Only a self needs to create meaning and purpose. Once the self is recognized to have never been then the seeking for meaning and purpose evaporates. And that's the truth, that there is no reason or purpose for this apparent universe. And there is no one and nothing behind it. It is all a forever unknowable mystery.

    "The Void is both the source of nothingness and, at the very same time, the source of everythingness. In short, the void is the limitless context in which your entire world is both appearing and disappearing."
    -Chuck Hillig

    You are giving too much importance to life. If it were infinite, then it would make sense. But this is a miserable 50-90 years. As pathetic as our brains. This is just the beginning of the journey.
    By the last sentence, I mean that our species is only the beginning of really intelligent life. Compared to what we might be, we're just ants for now.

    Truth is neither optimistic nor pessimistic, truth is just that…most of these words derive from the social mind of society and intellectualism..the path to direct truth is not group work for an individual..the path is always yours and yours alone
    Anything else is just a prescription that leads to more prescriptions
