What I make of it!

The Meaning of Life

The human is a speck in a living Universe.

That Universe has a personal connection and availability to any human.

It is not a matter of faith but of trust. The Divine is all around, with and without and cannot be “overrun” by human science, ideas, or endeavors.

The purpose of life is to be in a trusting embrace within the Divine. This is the only meaning of life.

The means to achieve this symbiosis is freely available. Choose your pathway. There are many. Spiritual endeavor is what is needed per individual. It also means and requires that spiritual endeavour is not distracted by claims, fundamentalist views, or religious and spiritual superiority complexes. Practice does make perfect.

The Divine has been here on Earth in human form. It is now time for the human form is to become Divine. Science and progress will never alter the essential human dilemma. Death is foregone for all. We can delay it and improve on the lot of the human life condition. Many however remain living in abject misery all around us-even as we improve the lot of some, (probably a minority). It is not the fault of scientists, humanistic psychology and endeavour, or progress, (in its broadest sense). All are well meaning, and seek to improve the experience and quality of life. However the self-centred human nature will remain predominant in the world, and continue to lead to a minority getting the most of the pie, as and when any opportunity presents. The solution remains then for individuals to enter into the Divine. This removes human motivation from human negativity, self-seeking, and will benefit the planet on subtle levels, beyond the works of all well-meaning humanistic endeavours. This will be the energy that engenders a green society!

Spiritual endeavours

Includes prayer, meditation, chanting, worshipping, and a wide range of activity that takes the soul from the mind body construct towards a Presence, which is beyond all comprehension. Quantity of spiritual endeavour is important. A practice is needed that can be joined to multiple times per day. Personal prayers or chants that you can do at any time. Traditional religion does have already some good options here, but in this post modernistic world we have a supermarket of potential pathways at our fingertips. A holy place one can visit or attain will reflect the Divine Sanctuary. Healing options may be of the evidence-based scientific systems, or otherwise. The history of modern, evidence-based, scientific focused, medicine is really grounded in ancient monasteries and ashrams. In those days evidence was what the sages had to demonstrate based on their own practice.

The meaning of life then is already here, and all around us. We seem to need some method or pathway to connect. Hence all the writings, including these essays and book, which seek to illuminate the path for the seeker.
