The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

I found the meaning of life in my own worth. Once upon a time people did not listen to me. I said something and the conversation just went on as if I had never spoken. Perhaps I had nothing worth saying, I thought.

As I personally evolved, I discovered something about myself and about people in general. If you want to have people pay attention to you, you must feel like your words have worth. And the way you feel your words have worth is to know that you, yourself are worthy.

I have seen it both ways. I have watched people speak for 20 minutes and say absolutely nothing of substance or import. These were people who held positions of esteem in the communities to which they were speaking. One person merely shouted one cliche after another for those 20 minutes. Some people raved after the speech as if what the person had to say was extremely profound. Some raved because they wanted to curry favor from this important person. Others raved because they thought the person actually said something.

I did not think the person had really said anything. I checked with other colleagues who are usually honest in sharing their feelings. They felt as I did. Nothing there but hot air. The speaker, however, was listened to because of the worth that speaker felt for herself.

The other side of the coin came as I learned to feel worth in and of myself. As I grow in self esteem, I felt more worthy. As I felt more worthy, I noticed that people paid more attention to what I said. Did they always pay attention? No. The percentage climbed, however, as I matured in self esteem.

How did I mature in self esteem? I came to understand that The Cosmic Thought’s “need” is to experience The Cosmic Thought’s  potential. Cosmic Thought experiences Its potential in the life of every sentient being. I am an individualization of The Cosmic Thought experiencing on Its behalf. The Cosmic Consciousness experiences the cornucopia of Its potential through humans (and all other sentient entities). This happens because we are the incarnations of The Cosmic Consciousness in the physical realm.

You can make this self esteem part of your life as well.

People will then pay more attention to what you have to say and think. Make contact with the Cosmic Conscious through meditation. Find yourself and believe yourself to be an individualization of The Universe, experiencing on Its behave. You words will have weight and significance.

Caution: Never think yourself the only one who is in contact with the Cosmic Consciousness. Many, many others have been and are in contact. Never think yourself the best amongst all those.

Actually, you won’t have to worry about it because when you are in true connection with The Ageless Fabric of the Universe, you know of no competition between sentient beings. You are content within your own ability.

So, begin today to better understand your own worth. Define yourself as an individualization of God. Accept your own worth. Think reasonably and well from that worth and people will pay attention to you. Your words will have substantial worth and you’ll be carrying on the meaning of life.

On Twitter there are at least these two quotes circulating from Albert Camus (one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century):
1. “You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
2. “Many people die because they judge life not worth living. I conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.”

Of course, anyone has the right to be confused. Or perhaps Camus wrote one quote in one period of his life. Then changed his mind in another period. And, after all, Ralph Waldo Emerson said, A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do.

I don’t think the two statements can by Camus easily stand beside each other. I disagree with number one. And, number two, I think it a shame that people come to judge life not worth living.

I say that when you are searching for happiness and you find it, you’ll be happy. Doesn’t that follow, one after the other? I think so. When you make contact and keep connected to The Source of All That Is (God, some will name It), you will find Cosmic Happiness at the core of your being. When this happiness pervades your entire being and life’s work, you will have cemented the meaning of life in your life, for your life. I simply believe that happiness can be found and you can be fulfilled, therefore, in the meaning of life.

I think it a true shame when people find life not worth living. I am sure that circumstances beyond my imagination cause some people to feel that life is not worth living. I hope they make contact with The Cosmic Harmony and understand that their experiences are only temporary. “This too shall pass.” That they can find their way to understanding that life is experiencing and some of what they experience within themselves, they have chosen to assign to the circumstance.

The meaning of life, I too believe, is the most urgent of all questions. All else, fail none, is less important. Yes, some folks, perhaps a majority, go through their entire lives never finding the meaning of life. This is not a scolding, this is a pitying. As they never find the meaning of life they are never happy. Know anyone who seems never, ever to be happy? We all know at least one person who finds fault or its pessimistic all the time. Therefore, they cannot come to the judgement that life is worth living. Complete or nearly complete pessimism leads only to death  – there is nothing left for the thorough pessimist.

Yes, again, we all have tragedies or circumstances happen in our lives wherein we question the meaning of life. I do not mean in any way to minimize such situations or heartaches. But when we find our bliss at the core of our beings, The Eternal Harmony residing there, then we expand our beings and taken in the Whole of Life. In other words, we expand our beings into happiness, harmony, love. And the Universe, as The Divine Consciousness, answers us back with harmonic reverberations.  Then comes peace, a peace that passes all understanding at our intellectual levels. It can only understood in the spirit.

What ought all this discussion lead you to do? Find happiness as the meaning of life. “The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.” Deepak Chopra. From that happiness find life worth living despite what may be occurring on the outside of your being. Live and be happy. Be happy and live. Imprint this upon your DNA.

I was looking at the tweets from Twitter having something to do with the meaning of life.  Many dozens of folks mention or ask the direct question, “What is the meaning of life?” everyday on Twitter.

There are events and circumstances in life that we regard as good or evil. Many philosophers and gurus want us to consider all events as neither good nor bad. They insist that all events are neutral and we give them their connotation.

But, I think, for the average person this is a difficult task. When one is caught in the throws of what most everyone would call evil, persons cringe. In other words, how to help these folks as they are on their way to enlightenment. We are not all at the same level of insight.

As we work our way deeper into the Core of our beings, the Center where all is calm, how shall we deal with evil? Good, of course, is simply accepted and rejoiced in. But what of evil? Here is an answer.

In a Universe that is free, what some call bad things will happen. What some people call bad people will happen. Events or people choose to think that they must do what others call evil. Greatest example, perhaps: Adolf Hitler. He developed a plan to make certain persons superior to all others. He evolved a design that would eliminate those he saw as a problem. The point is, he believed he was correct. He found people who agreed with him. They set the plans in motion. At first he couldn’t be stopped.

It’s not that the Universe turned a blind-eye, by the way. There is operative in the Universe a mechanism called Karma. Karma basically means that what one does sets up a momentum that will flow back upon you. This is called, sometimes, “consequences.” Whatever one does, there are consequences.

When something bad is happening in your life, as you see it, that’s the very time you need to consider karma for both yourself and everyone and everything involved in the event. The first thing you need to realize is that there will be consequences for whoever perpetrated this negative upon you.

Then you need to try to make sure you do not retaliate in kind. You want your karma to be good. Defend yourself, for sure. Protect your life and property, if need be. Protect the lives of your loved ones, absolutely. But do not be the cause of evil yourself. (Defending your life, even if it results in the death of the one attacking you, is not evil, in my view.)

Deal with evil in the best way you can. Try to preserve your own good karma. (For some this answer will seem very simplistic. Not enough meat on the bones. That may well be true, but not everyone is at the same level of grace.) Small steps first. Till that day when you can see all events as neutral and you know yourself free to choose how to label them.

When you uphold your own good karma, you are reaffirming the meaning of life, which is to be happy.
