Life IS Meaning

[caspex]

A lot of us realise on an intellectual level that life is meaningless, but when we delve deeper you can get a physical sense of how meaningless life can truly get. There's utterly zero meaning to it, and that can either be depressing or refreshing.

Delving deeper yet, we understand that life itself is the meaning and that's why it's meaningless as long as we define meaning as anything separate. We cannot attach a narrative on reality.

The best way to get a practical sense of what I mean here is to get into a state where you see life as purely meaningless, with no narrative and no motivation.

Now open up your screen and search up your favorite music, and put on your headphones.
Or search up you're favorite piece of art and look at it.
Do something you really love. Get really into it, invest yourself emotionally.

You'll look at it and think how meaningless it is, yet you won't be able to help yourself but experience the sheer avalanche of meaning pouring through it unto your senses.

Those of you that can see the beauty of life will be able to understand what I mean.

 

In reality, understanding meaninglessness or the beauty of reality is only half the awakening, they must be had together!

You could also say ego is meaning.

From an absolute perspective life is meaningless, and from a relative perspective it's full of meaning. Even the movement of an atom has a butterfly effect that moves all the infinity. But of course, all the movement of infinity is not movement from an absolute perspective.

From an absolute perspective life can be beautiful too

Nobody said it’s not beautiful.

The purpose of life is to live
