there is no meaning
You exist for a short period of time to reproduce then once you die you will cease to exist

Nothing deep about it, you're just an animal living on this earth who happens to be more intelligent than the rest of the heap.

It is to contribute to the progressive accumulation of energy, which manifests all things.

See, energy itself is intertwined and encompasses all things. That includes us and all that we perceive to be reality. The point is to increase this energy contained within and therefore the power and expression of all energy. Therefore one consequence would be to empower ourselves yet in turn all else that is contained within what we consider to be real, because all that is contained within is only a by-product of energy itself, and therefore is energy itself. Oneself and all things is energy. To empower this is the meaning.

This is why everything changes in time as it does. Nothing will ever be the same thing and never could be.

EXACTLY THE POINT.

alejandro,
All things are energy. All things. That includes us, all that we percieve, and all that we don't. Since we are a part of the energy and it endlessly interacts, all things are essentially all things because they determine the overall makeup. It's not as simple as batteries or being dead or alive. We are more "alive" than we were ever even capable of being, constantly contributing to this "pool" of energy that is all things. What TechnoViking said here is right. What he calls "positive" energy possesses a higher frequency than a "negative" would, therefore would contribute to a greater magnitude, and therefore would empower all things contained within the entire energy "pool" we consider all things to be.

The energy you spread will also manifest in yourself. Send to other people and cause other people the same energy you desire yourself to possess. This is crucial in determining the quality of the experience of one's own life.

Ex Wife is now the nastiest Women on Earth and threatens to put you in a cage if your late with any payments. Work. Now you find out you have prostate cancer and your gonna die! Work.

Post by: flagadajones on December 01, 2008, 10:20:23 AM
the fact human are questioning themselves about the meaning of life is only due to their brain being bigger and more developped than animals.

Even if we can understand more things than stupider living beings, it doesnt mean we re not designed to do the exact same things than em in the end: survive.

We' re all using our brains to have a better survival than the others.

But humans struggle their whole life to achieve the exact same things animals with smaller and less developed brains spend their lifetime achieving:

hunt,eat, take a dump, fuck , survive as long as you can, die.

Basically humans, whatever they do in their everyday life, are attempting to achieve the very same things, even if they put sophisticated labels on what they 're doing. Everything we do is motivated by basic needs, wether you're an artist or working at mc donald. 


Men like animals only have the desire to survive. Some do it better than others.

Humans are also able to compare themselves to how other human being perform. It often lead to frustration and useless pain.
Point is wether you're rich or poor, well known or a nobody, you will live the exact same things and will have to do the exact same fundamental things all living species have to do/are programmed to do in their lifetime.

Animals somehow may be happier than humans, cause at least they dont have to feel the pain of being able to compare themselves to other living begins that may seem to perform "better" than em.


Another interesting point is that even if human are smarter than animals, if some ateroids collide with earth we're all going to disapear in a split second. Says a lot about the real meaning of our so called "intelligence".

The funny is that even considering ourselves as well advanced civilization, we couldnt do much about any major natural disaster tha could occur like solar blasts or massive waves of asteroids crashing on earth.

Somehow we aint smarter than dinosaurs with brains the size of peanuts.

And if we hapened to develop some technologies allowing us to settle on others planets , we would only do so in order to..survive.

Survival is the only point of life. Being happy is not even the first thing we care about.

You exist for the only purpose to exist somehow.

It can be an interesting way to see our lifes, cause it means that wether you're living poor or rich, succesful and well known or unknown and average, at least you're living, you're existing , and nobody can take that away from you. Well, wait a second...actually ...other living beings can kill you!

Satisfaction

= hapiness.
Title: It is energy we need to concern ourselves with.
Post by: Soundness on December 01, 2008, 01:37:19 PM
= hapiness.

Yes.
Happiness in a temporary sense means temporary satisfaction.
Happiness in a general sense means accumulated satisfaction.

The catch here is, what is truly, not illusory, "satisfaction." The real need we have and need to fulfill is an energy need. Everything else is consequential. Many things can satisfy us, most of them are not in our awareness, they often statisfy in ways we can't consciously detect, and those are often even more valuable than that we are aware of.

What we think is "satisfaction" is often an illusion of satisfaction, meaning we usually trick ourselves into thinking something satisfies us when what it really is is relief brought on by the knowledge that we are attempting to make ourselves happy. "I'm proud of myself for trying to make myself happy; I deserve what I'm doing for myself." This is illusion and our actual concern should be actual happiness, which is that which yields a permanent satisfaction, an enhanced and permanent experience of life itself. The goal should be a progressive evolution of one's own energy throughout the course of life.

As for the meaning of life itself, it applies to all things living and not. In a sense all things are "living." It is the same thing; it is the same energy, it intertwines and interacts endlessly. The "meaning of life" pertains to energy itself and I've covered that already in this thread.

How to define meaning?

Title: Re: meaning of life

How to define meaning?

It will make you realize that this is not a "fail" universe, but rather an astronomically mysterious one in which our influences stretch far beyond we can imagine, literally.

At the most minute level, everything is made of energy, which is so dynamic we are mostly unable to detect or measure it's mechanisms. We can't even figure it out because we're influencing reality and the makeup of reality as we try to figure it out. Things are never the same and never will be. Everything is not constant. It is all endlessly dynamic, always moving, always changing, never the same as it was, is, or ever will be.  

Only by realizing this, taking a few macro steps back from everyday life, and using the knowledge we do have of our influence on everything can we then determine what we are doing. We are influencing the overall energetic makeup of everything, and it is accumulating in time. This, in turn, empowers the energetic makeup of everything that exists, all that we perceive and can't perceive. We are accomplishing more than anything that ever existed before simply by existing. We can each individually influence this effect, this "empowerment" of everything to a maximum degree by accumulating maximum positive energy throughout our lives. Therefore, we each contribute to the empowerment of everything that exists, but the degree to which each of us contribute is determined by each of ourselves.

(What flagadajones discussed is true in a very, very material sense. It does not touch on the meaning, however. But when we're talking about the actual "meaning," it has more to do with a macro ("bigger-picture") view of our influence on all that exists, not our narrow, every day lives, or role in an ancient, hunter-gatherer society. That is too narrow to even be in the vacinity of actual meaning.)

It will make you realize that this is not a "fail" universe, but rather an astronomically mysterious one in which our influences stretch far beyond we can imagine, literally.

At the most minute level, everything is made of energy, which is so dynamic we are mostly unable to detect or measure it's mechanisms. We can't even figure it out because we're influencing reality and the makeup of reality as we try to figure it out. Things are never the same and never will be. Everything is not constant. It is all endlessly dynamic, always moving, always changing, never the same as it was, is, or ever will be.  

Only by realizing this, taking a few macro steps back from everyday life, and using the knowledge we do have of our influence on everything can we then determine what we are doing. We are influencing the overall energetic makeup of everything, and it is accumulating in time. This, in turn, empowers the energetic makeup of everything that exists, all that we perceive and can't perceive. We are accomplishing more than anything that ever existed before simply by existing. We can each individually influence this effect, this "empowerment" of everything to a maximum degree by accumulating maximum positive energy throughout our lives. Therefore, we each contribute to the empowerment of everything that exists, but the degree to which each of us contribute is determined by each of ourselves.

We don't know exactly yet, but what we do know is astonishing...

What we do know at this point is that at any point in time we have and are accomplishing something larger than the form of everything, as it ever was before that point in time, that we are constantly influencing it and the degree of that influence is under our control. It is accumulating endlessly. We also know that the energetic makeup of everything is then consequentially empowered, meaning the potential power of EVERYTHING increases. Yes, everything, including our little selves, is becoming more and more and more powerful. We have a part in this, a large, major part.

How does this effect us in life, to narrow in a bit?
Well, for one the experience of consciousness is progressively enhanced in time. That is profound.  ;)

You did get it. Part of it.
Now just expand on what you already know; there's not actually a contradiction to what you found earlier.  ;)
