What is the Meaning of Life and Where Do We Come From?

reply to post by arpgme


the oneness of self found in the spirit is formless. as a result it is always changing. but it is eternal, and eternally growing.. infinite. without beginning or end. containing true infinite possibilities.

but the duality is the place where "you will surely die". u are no longer eternal as u were in the garden. and to there is where we strive to return. the flesh will decay. but where will be your consciousness?

there are some things that the imagination cant imagine.

The duality is always changing.
With physical things - they come and they go.
With the body it is born and dies.

My consciousness experiences both. I am eternal.

What is the Meaning of Life and Where Do We Come From?

First: As you know the answer to life the universe and everything = 42... oh and the meaning of life to humans is to make and create things chiefly among them being plastic.

Second: A bunch of places really a combination of a lot of things the sum of the parts and there origins are older then the product basically, but so can be said of anything in the material universe. However as you know doupt heard humans mostly offshoot from Lyra, Sirius, and Orian constellations this time around. Next time around it will likely be something and someplace else.

you give it meaning

so give it meaning

as for life itself, it goes on and on and on and on

yes, our mortality as humans will be met, and in billions of years, all this striving will have seemed so pointless...

but there will always be striving

there will always be life... such is the nature of existence

Your life is not pointless, no life is, all life gives birth to what has already been thought of, we are the doers manifesting the thoughts and ways of the eternal

fish jumping out of the eternal, and for a moment, knowing what it is to live free from the endless, to be ONE fish, to feel the cool air over the endless ocean, feel the warm sun bathing down on the rolling waves, free for a moment

what you see as bondage, I view as freedom, freedom to do work

dont live a pointless life, you give it meaning

but be careful, do not be ensnared by your delusions, by your habits of ego, these will cause you much suffering, and in dwelling in your suffering there will be ruin, death

be free of such delusions, free to work without effort, to manifest without attachment, such is the way of the eternal

Wonderful

Well, there´s that Monty Python´s movie.

Just kidding! I know that I acted unwisely.. but I couldn´t resist.

Now, for serious!
I think we (at least some of us) are just something else embdeded with this mortal coil (wich is our body).

Just imagine!
Sometime ago, during the evening you´ve got a glimpse.
Some strange beings appeared in your room.... woosh!
You wake up, the following morning, without knowing if you dreamed or if that was real. Those beings told you that they were your real family, this body is just your way to survive here and that you volunteered to live this test (living here) in order to perfect yourself.
Sounds cheesy, doesn´t it? That´s why I´ll never be a writer.

The meaning of life?
Just as someone said: Try to make sense of it!

When we were young most of us attempted to understand the universe because it was so amazing and tempting. Since we could not soar like Einstein or Kepler, we could only pretend we understood. Over time, cognitive dissonance struck our senses and dulled them. Our eyes came down and settled on the low hanging fruit and we began to eat. Soon we started to enjoy the psuedo-sciences and had pushed aside the details. In fact, when asked about the laws of physics later on, we shrugged and offered a bag of chips. And such is life for humans and likewise all creatures.

Q:"Where do we come from?"

A:"You do not go anywhere. You do not come from anywhere. You are Timeless Being and Awareness."~Nisargadatta Maharaj

The mistake you all make is that you are not human. You are awareness. The universal supreme consciousness and all possible universes exists and are imagined and held up in their oscillations by You. Not (you) as an individual but YOU. The seer. Why is it so hard for people to accept something so simple? You are fully God and Fully human. When you realize the truth of manifestation, that it is all transitory. The multiverse only last 100 billion trillion years. Awareness is eternal and you know you are aware. That awareness is all pervading but the power of Love creates an ego to enhance the survival mechanisms for evolution of the entity. But one is not an entity. You are the entire manifestation and beyond it. For they exist in You not you in it, similar to you dreaming a dream. You are the supreme intellect. Individuality must be given up in order to change your understanding of who you really are. YOU are not the body or the mind or your electronic soul. They are a play of elements. They cannot be You for they are seen and You are the seer. The unseen. Similar to how the eye cannot see itself. Prior to time and space, YOU, the unseen infinite thought/feeling of awareness/existence which exists within everything now was in the primordial darkness and turned itself into light via the Big Bang to encapsulate a piece of itself in a caccoon of electrical mass known as the body mind machine to decode the light via the quantum computer of the brain.

YOU WERE NEVER BORN. YOU HAVE NEVER DIED. You are the Truth. You are true. You are eternal and ancient. All universe are untrue for they do not last eternally so they cannot be the final reality but they are an appearance on the substratum of the true reality. For reality is that which is truth and needs no support for it is self evident. You know you know you exist. It is all an illusion, it is all a dream made by your supreme intellect.
