What Is The Meaning of Life?

Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry

(ThyBlackMan.com) Breaking life down to its most basic physical components, the meaning of life is merely survival and reproduction. From a purely evolutionary perspective that is all there is. It leaves us, however, meaningless.

For thousands of years humans have been asking themselves if there is something more to life than mere existence. Many do good, help others, donate to charities, participate in community needs, and love others in an effort to fill a void in their soulsto make life meaningful. Yet many struggle to maintain this level of goodness over a long period of time without becoming disillusioned and mired in a sense of futility.

The question remains, is there a meaning to life?

Everyone searches for the meaning of life. The different means by which we go about this is fascinating, and, under analysis, usually disappointing.

TYPICAL SEARCHES FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE

To Leave Behind a Legacy…

For some, their goal in life is to be remembered. Death robs most of us of our influence and power to shape the future. Most people will not even rate a word or two in the history books. But a few have been able to leave behind such a legacy that their lives continue to impact future generations. For some, however, leaving behind a legacy is the meaning of life. How disappointing for the majority that never do.

To Simply Enjoy Life to its Fullest…

This particular search for the meaning of life is the result of a humanist theology that life on this planet is all there is. The advent of evolution and humanism teaches us to eat, drink, and be happy, for tomorrow we die. This philosophy ignores the consequences of actions and the impact of those actions on others.

To Live a Life of Sacrifice and Service for Others…

There is something very noble about a person who gives their life for others. But as noble and great as it may be, it often leaves a person empty and burned out. The reason for this, I believe, is that helping and living for others should be a byproduct of the meaning of life not the essence. Without a fuel source a car will run out of gas. Without meaning to one’s life your efforts on behalf of others will become empty.

To become Successful and Powerful…

Success and power are relative terms. They can mean many things to many people. Our own ideas of success and power often become a drug of choice. We seek influence, fame, or success as a means to give us purpose and verify our own importance in the eyes of others. Again, contributions to society should not be the meaning of life but the byproduct of it.

To Take Up and Fight for a Cause…

History teaches us that many people find value in life by taking up a cause. There are so many causes out there to fight for that you can literally take your pick. The need to live for something bigger than ourselves is hardwired in us. This pursuit has left many a person disillusioned and empty.

SO WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?

Ultimately, the meaning of life is not found in what we are or what we do. Rather those things are only meaningful as a result or byproduct of a meaningful life.

The meaning of life is found solely in our relationshipsspecifically, in our relationship with God and secondarily in our relationships around us. When the relationships are meaningful, then success, power, influence, a cause, life, death, a legacy, and sacrifice for others all become meaningful and purposeful.

God created us to have fellowship with Him. Starting with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and continuing to this day, the purpose of life is found only in the strengths of our relationship with God and those around us.

The Apostles were great men who accomplished great things. But their accomplishments were not the result of a search for the meaning of life, but rather the result of a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. Reading the New Testament reinforces this.

Romans 1:1 – Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

Many of the Biblical epistles begin in this manner. It was the relationship that made the service meaningful. What is important about the title ‘Daddy‘ or ‘Mommy‘? Is it the power to order a child about? Is it the life and death power that you hold over a child? No, it is the relationship! It is the relationship between child and parent that makes the position meaningful.

What makes the role of a husband important? Is it that the Bible commands his wife to submit to him? Of course not! It is the relationship and the strength of that relationship with his wife that makes the role of husband meaningful and important.

God wants to be more than just your God, He wants to be your Father and your friend!

2 Corinthians 6:18 – And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

John 15:15 – Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends…

It is for the relationship that God created you! To walk with Him! To fellowship with Him! All the meaning of life is wrapped up in the strength of your relationships. Build those relationships. Add new relationships to your life. Within those relationships, everything else, every other endeavor, finds meaning and purpose.

LIFE

Life is an infinite on going experience of Itself. Self is, within the man, invisible thoughts and material matters of man’s interpreted conclusions of inherited thoughts of matters. Life cares not whether the minds of the individual conscious awareness, It express in principle and patterns of Spirit construction, understand anything about It humanly or not, for Life has one purpose, and one purpose only, to be about the business of Life. Life is everywhere man can consciously be aware of. Wherever ones conscious mind has one, at this very moment, they are there because of Life. Life is Consciousness. Consciousness is the source, energy, animation, mind, and underlining Essence of all that is of any and all thoughts, whether they be distant, or afar, or imaginary. Life is God, and this truth assures all thoughts and intent of every man, woman, boy and girl are naked at all times within Life and cannot hide behind the face of Jesus, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, nor religion, beliefs, or ignorance.

Life has no lost children. Nothing of Life can be lost of the Life within Life. Life has no knowledge of a Life living within It that is out of order, fallen, sinful, or dual in nature. If such beliefs exist, they exist because they are emanations of a Principled Pattern of Perfection of and within Itself, which cannot prevent or alter Itself to make that which men believe is out of order, fallen, sinful or dual in nature – not whole, perfect, complete, and pure in the life of those believing such to be their reality. Understanding ones own life is only relevant to ones obedience of following the Principle Pattern of the Perfect issues of the Conscience within man’s inner conscience of man’s consciousness of right or wrong. Man is the consciousness of the Spirit he act and react to and upon because Spirit is the only source of consciousness.

Man is the emanated source of That which the Spirit of life emanates of and as Life’s Principle Substance, and Patterned Essence of expressed forms of his awareness visible and invisible, spiritual or fleshly. On the shoulders of all who has thought a thought in the world of matter comes the shaping and molding of the minds of today. Man is exempt from no thought for the principles and patterns of his mental world of material matter are the building blocks of him self. Theses building blocks are who man is.

The continuum of life and principles and patterns cannot be substitute for causality because they are emanations of Spirit activity, Spirit intent, and Spirit Purpose. This means that which was, is, yet is not is the singularity of Conscious expression and therefore the only Consciousness of Its emanations. This makes the the unit of individual expression a unit because it is singular expression of the Consciousness the unit is living. The principle and pattern of life’s continuum is “the law of the Spirit of Life” which assures there can never be a repetition of that which has “having writ – and moves on” – unlike the world of the material, intellect of matter which walks upon the dead of that which is dead to reach the burial place that are of its thought choice. The place of dead memories reserved for all who walk this path.

The principle is everything after its kind. The pattern is consciousness can only follow it Source. Life’s continuum is every expression of conscious awareness is unique in expressing itself as?

The Reality of Life and man’s living as, and within It is, it does not matter whether man believes Life to be real or false. That which is of kind must be the truth of that which is the activity of its thoughts and thinking of kind to those, and by those whom believe in real or false because “the law of the Spirit of life” is the unchanging Order of Establishment. Whether man’s thoughts be of the cruelty of his world of thoughts and thinking, or goodness, the rapes, consent, denial, killing, birth, war, peace, it doesn’t matter to Life. All are bound by Life’s Spirit, and the Life of Continuum, and the principles and patterns of Life. All things must comes to the receiver of Life whole, perfect, complete and pure. The power of the Word demand nothing less. Take care of your Words, they are the treasures once found, will cause man to forsake all matters of material. “Power and death are in the tongue.”

There is nothing personal in the world of material matter which man can claim is his except the Consciousness which formed, developed, and brought man forth from a watery existence. Irrespective therefore of what appears to be, appearances are ideas, knowledge and beliefs the human mind projects into the human conscious of awareness without defining them. Coming to this mountain, I had to ask myself if what is appearing as my my outer objective visions and inner subjective feelings the reality of what is. A hard decision was concluded that all is real to the sentient being of object/subject thoughts, for the sentient being live, moves, and has his being in that which his projected world of mind feeds him. In this sense, man is as a tree and absorbs all that he received, even the poison. But if that which the mind has received and projected into the midst of man’s comprehension was true, it would be the truth for you, myself, and all men. But the only truth man knows is the truth of relativity of that which is eternal, but not infinitely eternal because man’s own words: “well you know I am only human” stops his transcension through the mind to go beyond the mind.

So what can be done in this situation, especially when no one wants to believe the very way they think, react to their thoughts manifest to be their situations, circumstances, conditions, and even environment. So one must learn to discipline themselves to the stillness of the silence beyond sound. That stillness which conceived him in the vacuum where Spirit is and matter is not until that conception is consummated by the blending of two conscious into one. In this space that which is conceived begins to find its place of conscious awareness. And being life is a continuum of the principles and patterns of consciousness, the dominated thought of good, or evil, or Spirit insight emerge to be the conscious living, believing, and existence of that one of consciousness awakening.

If one is of the consciousness of dualism, it is so because the parenting entities have found no way out of their humanism, and the DNA transference displays the attitude of “only being human.” But to the one who becomes discipline to the direction of their inner conscience and travail in obedience to those direction symmetrically, they no longer consciously play a role in decisions dealing with dualism. In his attitude man no longer seeks help for healing, supply, or to alter that which is whole, perfect, complete and pure. One only seeks a Truth to the reality of the reality of their being. And regardless of how long it may take, one must find within them that place of the stillness of the silence beyond sound and learn how to go there and sits until they can hear that “still small voice” of their unconditioned consciousness. And regardless of how long it may take, you sit in the silence, waiting to hear the thunder of the TRUTH revealed to you. When that TRUTH is revealed to you, you have your answer to the situation, and that means, the problem is no longer a problem.

Why is this? Because once you step off into Spirit, and one yourself with it, that Spirit begins to dissolve everything in your consciousness everywhere that is not of the creation of God.

You see, the problem was not desperate to the individual, it was the thinking in consciousness which made it appear to be so. And when you stepped off into the Spirit of LIFE, in yourself, you who came to you in that place of stillness have returned to your first love, “God in. . . Christ in you, your hope of glory. . .reconciling the world unto himself.”

Never give power to anything a personn believes is their source of strength – jufa
