The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

When you are conscious of your life, you no longer need be the victim of circumstances This is because you understand the meaning of life. This is the second step. (Last blog revealed the first step.)

The meaning of what is happening as regards your life. You see the things happen to you, everyone does. But instead of being the dupe of events, you consciously make the most of them. Of course, it’s easier to make the best of positive events. But you trump the negative events too. The “to be” part of “the meaning of life is to be happy,” means that you make the max of the events of your life while seeing that YOU are not those events. You look for the cliched “silver lining.”

But you can only do that, find the silver lining, when you are cognizant of your life. You may wanted to say to me, “I’m always conscious of what is happening to me, especially if it is negative.” But the difference is like letting an ocean wave crash over you and surfing that wave to shore. In the former, you are out of control, the wave has control of you. On the other hand, when you are surfing, you are in control not only of yourself but of the wave.

A man suffered from Alzheimer’s. He came to not know anyone, including his wife of 50+ years. When he died everyone said it was “a blessing.” All who knew and had cared for him were relieved. They had hurt for him as he suffered, especially in the latter stages. The concern and ache could be laid aside. In other words, they searched for and found a positive in the midst of a negative. They made the effort to collectively see the event of the man’s passing in a affirmative light. They deliberate claimed the affirmative.

Through effort you take hold of your life. The second step. From the last blog you may remember that the first step was to awaken. We know we cannot control the outward events of life. But when we are awake and give exertion, we can be in control of our interior life – how we think and feel. We can say, for example, “Things happen to me, but I’m not those things. Things happen around me, but I’m not those things.” Through the Source of All That Is, you can be in control of your interior, spiritual life. Therefore, you no longer need be a victim of events as you now are learning the meaning of life.
