The meaning of life. (To me.)
I thought of this while reading another thread and wanted to put into words my thoughts and ideas so here goes.
The meaning of life as far as I can see is simple.
To be, to live, to die, to love, to hate, to live for the moment, to look to the future, to
learn, to grow and everything else in encompassed in the short time we are allotted.
My cosmology of the infinite is (to put it simplistically) an infinite (time and distance mean nothing here) sea (some call it the Etheric Plane) in
which we have creatures large to small (realities/souls same thing different attributes) but still pretty much the same creatures just different
characteristics.
Most people see order and defined levels, in a nutshell hierarchal. I see that as a matter of course that many would see it that way. We are after all
very hierarchical creatures. But I disagree, there are no levels one must achieve. I do not see nature as having a hierarchal system, the predator is
no better than the prey. The intelligent is no better than the stupid. All serve there purposes with none being "better". I see all differing and
all important circles at which nothing is at the top of, as there is no "top level". Mankind thinks he is special because of his technology when the
simple fact of the matter is he would not survive were it not for his technology. Is not some sign of spiritual evolution or really even a physical
one, after all, look at what we do with technology. We use it to find more thorough ways to destroy ourselves. I see humans as animals that have a
different way of going about stuff and in NO WAY our inferiors, but I also know in nature life feeds on life so no veganism for me. But we are in a
sense brothers and sisters just different as to the point of un-understandability.
We are simply as far as I am concerned (again simplistically) baby realities (read my concept of gods), I base this on the amazingly weird things that
happens with belief and our minds. That is what our souls are, the seed that will eventually if we so chose lead to another reality to swim in that
vast sea we call the Etheric Plane. But more on that later.
I will now be going into what I believe happens a little in life and at death. Our creation (or conception) happens at the conception of our physical
bodies. The seed of our souls (conscious mind) really have yet to grow (don't really grow much to start for humans for at least a few years) and we
get at least the start of our "life energy/soul" from our reality, that explains ancient memories, life regression and etc, basically the primal
energy of our souls (just like we have primal parts of the physical brain) and this is required for all life and it stays with us throughout our lives
and returns to source (the parent reality) at death which serves to help the reality learn. Which is partially where the ideas for reincarnation comes
from. Ok. Throughout life we grow and mature as does our soul, our bodies I think I should note I really nothing more than a kind of amniotic sack for
our soul and provides a way for the soul to mature. Til we hit that great change called death. Death is as traumatic for the soul as it is for the
newborn baby animal, a drastic change of conditions, so I think the body has ways it will in a way ease the transition, in otherwords the various
activities science sees a brain going through (as well as trying to stay alive) prior to death. It lubricates the path of a soon to be bodiless soul.
At which point the primal energy returns to source to be reused and the souls goes on or comes back or does something else.
And please note souls can be damaged at the beginning stages or even snuffed out by abortion which is why I disdain abortion, crimes against
children and etc. But the borrowed "life force" will still go back to source just the soul never had a chance to grow.
And this life force carries the memory in diluted form of the being when it returns and mixes with the "life energy" of other beings (aka Akashic
records, past lives etc). *Added as an after thought*
Now this is where I think belief comes ever larger in the picture. One thing I am sure of is we go through a life review, it is a theme in every
religion that I can think of in some shape or form. But it can look different to each soul, you know Anubis and the Feather of Truth, the abrahamic
religions and their god's judgement of a soul etc. But each soul wraps this event in differing views. But in the end it is a review of ones actions
and what harm or good they have caused. We see the cause and effect of every act of our life in such a way we see in ways we could never before for
whatever reason because the lens of perception of each and every person is marred by something. And we pass judgment on ourselves, based on that, with
all the insulating reasons, excuses and whatnot that we wrap the truth of our actions in to protect ourselves throughout life. Of course a soul can
stick around Earth and avoid this, never acknowledging it has passed on, or just feels it has to do something still. This is how we get ghosts, and
when a soul sticks around for a long time it forgets and this is were we get the stories of spirit beings and etc.
After this and through out this (life and death) our beliefs play a big part in it and in a way we make our own heavens and hells, Etheric realm is
after all a realm of pure thought to put it simplistically. If a soul believes in a concept he/she/it will set about making that be true just as
he/she/it did in life along with other souls that share that belief. The baby godism playing through even if never realized to full potential and used
to give power to something else. It's possible we can return as well but I am not convinced.
Evolution to me is simply a reality coming to (in a matter of speaking) sexual maturity.
So any thoughts, questions, requests for clarification (samething as the one before it I know
)?
Think I am just a wackjob huh?
