The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

I finally found the second half of an equation that goes right along with the meaning of life. Joseph Campbell, one who spent his life studying the myths of humankind, said, “Follow your bliss.” I’ve had this half of the equation for a number of years. But I thought that there must be more to it than that. For following one’s bliss is perfectly fine but I believe it must lead somewhere. So just yesterday it dawned on me as I was looking at the card on my wall that is titled Follow Your Bliss. Beam Your Bliss.
I mean one can gather up one’s bliss through contact with The Source of All That Is, finding a worthy vocation, finding a befitting life mate, etc. But if you’re like me, sitting in meditation, for example, is only half the story. I feel even more complete when I am sharing what I’ve discovered in meditation and through various other kinds of study. In other words, I need to experience what I’m feeling in and through meditation. I must get out of myself and share with the world.

This getting out of myself defines me and helps me be as The Source of All That Is in the Universe. The Source of All That Is is a spiritual being. In order to experience Itself, It had to go beyond the spiritual and experience. In order to do that The Source of All That Is put forth the Universe. You and I are part of the universe, essential parts. And in a figurative and literal way, The Source of All That Is beamed forth Its energy, Its vibrations to “make” the things we see. (This is well demonstrated in quantum physics.)
So you take what you are in Follow Your Bliss and Beam Your Bliss into the corporal world. In other words, what you are on the inside “becomes” what you are and/or what you do on the outside.

So I have the equation one side of which is Follow Your Bliss = Beam Your Bliss, the second side of the equation. Mathematicians might say that this is a balanced equation. I say it is one way to a balanced life wherein you hone, for yourself, the meaning of life.
