Is life meaningless?

4 posts in this topic

You don’t listen to music just to hear the last note. You don’t eat a meal just for the last bite. You don’t just read the last page of a novel. You don’t just watch the climax of a movie. The process – the ups, downs, challenges and triumphs – is what makes everything beautiful, worthwhile and fun. The same goes for life. Alan Watts brilliantly explains this concept in a lecture called “Music and Life.” The way he expresses this concept will shift your entire paradigm on life.

No the meaning of life is mastery.

Consciousness seeks the optimal means of self expression but few take the joruney hence why they are stuck WATCHING masters

If life's meaningless that girl wouldn't be dyeing her hair. Just the fact that we have a word for it- dyeing. Different with dying also. Of course there's meaning. 


"We are like the spider. We weave our life and then move along in it. We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream. This is true for the entire universe."

-- The Upanishads

Making meaning out of meaninglessness isn’t a high IQ solution. Whole philosophies and movements exist because of this lower IQ resolution on reality. We can’t start any kind of conversation by beginning with meaninglessness, it’s synonymous to a state of mind we equate to freedom of consciousness, enlightenment, a conversation which also is a non-starter beyond talking about what it isn’t and what we aren’t but sometimes think we are.
