Do you have to give up Meaning for Being?

[AlphaAbundance]

I like meaning

I will have both regardless

[IndigoGeminiWolf]

Being is thoughtless.

Meaning is thoughtful.

Take what you will.

@IndigoGeminiWolf Insightful but did not answer the question

[IndigoGeminiWolf]

Here in duality, they are separate.

At the highest state you are all things (All That Is), so that would include both.

I could be wrong though.

[AlphaAbundance]

@IndigoGeminiWolf Who is even at these highest states? What is it like at these highest states? Any ressources or examples of people?

[IndigoGeminiWolf]

The Buddha comes to mind.

He went all the way up, way beyond simple enlightenment.

It's union with God or whatever you call it. The infinite, the absolute.

Meaning is already being. You are being. Believing they’re separate, is how you’re creating meaning. Nothing to worry about, see what I mean?

All things can be a barrier or a opening to realization. So don’t spend to much time being concerned. 

[AlphaAbundance]

@Mu_ True but its important to understand these things to an extent so your motivation is soild.

No. It is useful if being is the only meaningful thing though.

[AlphaAbundance]

@tsuki Useful how?

[tsuki]

@AlphaAbundance Focusing on one thing, making your life revolve around seeking. Serious practice requires effort.

@tsuki Ah ha

@AlphaAbundance It is your responsibility to choose your path therefore it is your responsibility to choose your own subjective values and meaning.

My top values are love, beauty, strength and truth

My life meaning/purpose is to love, to perceive beauty and to evolve.

Choose carefully your values and meaning and then move forward on that path like you dont have time to waste (we dont).
