Ok...Im in serious need of help. I need something to put faith in. Not a god. Mabye myself. But there has to be a reason for things. There has to be a reason why I stay up each night trying to meditate or do anything to help me reach a higher state of conciousness so mabye I can attempt to identify what is driving all of us. Are we driving by bliss? Are we here just to satisfy our need to feel happy or whatever? We must have some kind of connection with the universe. We cannot be hear just because. There is no just because when we live in such a massive exsistence. If there was simply no reason, everything would be nothing. In life there is always chaos, or there is nothing. Everything would simply not be. What is there when there is nothing? I've been told that we are basicly stardust, that we are all just part of the universe and evolution. So if the universe just started some time ago, will it just end also? Are the some kind of dimensions? I mean when we die, the universe dies with us in a way, because basicly, the universe revolves around us when we are alive. Is it simply another dimension when we die. What are the dimensions? Is that possible? What is nothing? When we die, do we simply end just like we started? In an instant? Do we just end...or is there some kind of afterlife, something to continue our soul's story, after we pass? I dont know if I want to believe all this scientific gamble, about the string theory, the plasma theory, the big bang theory, etc.
I have yet to find a puzzle even half finished. There are soo many questions and not enough theorys to support them all. I need to find a theory were alot of the pieces fit. Im sorry for all this, im pretty confused right now. Cabin Fever mabye? Or am I started to discover something? All I know is, I need some kind of answers...
I have been reading up tons upon different perspectives on how it all works.
The Power Of Myth: by Joseph Campbell
An Open Life: by Joseph Campbell
Many Mansions - The Edgar Cayce Story On Reincarnation: by Gina Cerminara
The Power Of Compassion: by The Dalai Lama
Black Elk Speaks: as told to John G. Neihardt
I have been doing reading on just life. Please discuss if can.
PS. Its a little late...but just read the title if you dont want to read :tongue2 |

I think this is a major reason that people turn to a religion later in life. They are just too wearied about as many questions as you have, it's much easier to just say with confidence "God will take care of me". Whe needs answers when you're just a pathetic human puppet with a deity's hand right up your ass, anyways? :eyespop:
There can be no universal truth - truth defeats itself by subjective amorphousness, thereby relating only to the object individual's perception. You make your own answers, damnit!.
What is there to life? I have trouble with this one...but here's a theory...Don't worry about it. :happy2: Those who have truly woken up from the dream life encompasses on our base consciousness will be in a constant state of wonder about our world. I believe that death is merely an infinite reflection devoid of consciousness upon the life you lived. This is just one of my musings. Please don't take it as your fact or my lie... for it is solely yours now because you have subjected it to your essence. Get it? |

There are so many questions i have too.
May be we would like to think there is a purpose to our lives because we are intelligent beings, but may be existence is the pure meaning of our lives. Most of us seek a deeper meaning for life. I know i have but have not yet found one.
String theory is a neat theory and pretty interesting with respect to dimensional comprehension, but like all theories is still just a theory.
There are so many undiscovered and uncomprehenable things that happen with our minds. Ive always wondering how our information is stored. I mean, its not quantitative and no one really knows.
People still dont understand how human healing works, or how much of the paranormal phenomena occur.
I think everyone has their own answer to life, especially what they beleive in and what they beleive right and wrong to be. But most of us beleive that there should be ONE definitive answer to all life and its existence. Some people turn to religion, some to science, some neither. |

Ancient Chinese Secret:
There are no stressful things in the world. Just people thinking stressful thoughts.
It isnt true, but people need to ing wake up and realize what they can and cannot do at the moment about things.
Its 8 am saturday. I realize im over drawn. Banks are closed Sunday. Itll open monday.
Some people tweek out all day about they need to pay that overdraft.
Or tickets, waiting for court dates, figuring out schedules...Things will happen regardless of how much youve thought about it. So save yourself some time.
Everyone always feels like there is something missing in their lives. Something that they need to do, or someone they need to meet...but it isnt that clear, they just feel something missing. Its like you remember being a child, but youve forgotten what childhood felt like. You want magic back in your life.
Make it. There are enough amazing things in this world to feel awed by, go climb a mountain, talk to a beautiful woman, dance with someone, learn pottery. Things that are cheap and easy and fun to do.
I have no sympathy for people who wait for happiness to come to the 9-5, taking bull from their managers, lives theyve allowed themselves to fall into.

...now here's the Meaning of Life. (gets envelope) Thank you Brigitte. Well, it's nothing special. Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.
Sounds about right to me. |
