The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

Another reader of ours asked about the meaning of life in this way: “How can I bring a big social change?”

There are just two ways:

1. Prepare your own life by being in contact with the Divine at the core of your being. Find happiness there. Make that happiness secure and everlasting by remaining in contact with the Divine through everything.

To make a big change in any way is a daunting task. I believe it can be done. But it takes extraordinary courage, patient determination, never-give-up perseverance. These can only be maintained by a constant connection to the Meta Consciousness.

Prepare also for the backlash that will come. Any time anyone has tried to change the world, there has been a backlash of those and from those who do not want the world to change. History is rife with examples, Mahatma Gandhi among them, of persons who changed the world and paid a big price for it. This cannot be done unless you maintain linkage with the Divine Consciousness.

2. Be in the world that which you would have the world be. Mahatma Gandhi said it best, along these lines, “Be the thing you want to see change.” Then work.

Work. Day and night. Night and Day. You may even need to give up family and/or friends. The larger the change you want, the greater the cost. Always.

Here you make manifest the two aspects of the meaning of life: to be happy. A. You find your bliss within by linking and staying united with the Meta Consciousness. B. You beam that bliss into the physical world. Bliss and Beam are two sides of the same coin. One does not exist without the other.

So, you would change the world. You can do it. Prepare and work. Bliss and Beam. In this you will find the meaning of life.

I had just given a talk about the meaning of life. At the greeting line, one woman said to me, “I need you to tell me exactly what to do.”

I told her I couldn’t do that because she was her own person and needed to follow her own path. “But,” she said, “you clergy have always told me what to do with my life.”

Again, I said I was not going to do that. She was free to choose her own way of life. She did not attend many of my talks after that. She simply needed someone to tell her what to do. She thought.

So, this blog post is not going to tell you what to do. But one of our readers has asked the question, “What is the purpose of my life?” Believe me when I say that many, many people struggle with this question. Even more would engage this question if they allowed themselves the time to do so. They are so busy with life that they never stop long enough to discover what their life-purpose is. And I cannot “sit on high” and prescribe for anyone what they shall be and do.

The way you discover meaning in life and find your way to your purpose is by first making contact with the Divine, first. Meditation is the best and fastest way to that goal. Through contact with the Divine, you will discover that you are loved just as you are. You are accepted just as you are. This is liberation from any tyrannies that might say to you that “must” do this or you “must” be that.

Happiness and Purpose Map

When you have discovered this liberation, you will know that your purpose, at foundational levels, is simply “to be.” (To be what? To be happy.) In other words, you are here on earth during your lifetime to experience all that is appropriate for you to experience. (A la Neale Donald Walsch in Conversations with God, which I wholeheartedly recommend.)

When you have accepted within yourself that you are free to experience, then you look around to see what brings you the best resonance with the happiness you have through contact with the Divine. This can be a literal feeling of warmth and joy in the torso of your body.

Example, but only an example. Suppose you have felt so liberated that you discovered flowers for the “first time” in your life. Yes, flowers have always been around you. But in your bliss of acceptance you really see them. One day you are encouraged from somewhere to buy a bunch of flowers and arrange them. Arranging the flowers and seeing the completed arrangement gives you great resonance in the core of your being (Perhaps even literally in your body’s torso or even at a spiritual level.) It “dawns” on you that you could make a life (living) out of arranging flowers. Maybe then you have found your purpose in life.

Start by being happy at your core, then beam that bliss into the corporal world. When things are “right” for your and your purpose, you feel that resonance within you.

The meaning of life is to be happy. Your find your purpose through that bliss. Begin today to beam your bliss into the world.

One of my readers wants to know the meaning of life and how to find his authentic self. This is a great inquiry because so many people have exactly that question. It may be framed in many different ways, but it all boils to: “How can I be real?” Or “How can I really be me?”

There can be no meaning in life if one does not feel real. Not some made-up character who performs for family and friends. But someone who has his/her own values, convictions and life style.

First, you’ve got to determine who you are really. So, I’ll give you my definition of who you really. “You are a child of the Universe, no less than stars.” You must realize that you are part and parcel of this Universe in which we live. Your atoms and other subatomic particles are the same as those of the stars all across the Universe. But more than substance, you are Spirit. Your spirit and the Spirit that is the Universe is you as well.

It is like being a player-coach (or player-manager). You not only direct the game but you are in the game as well. You decide to acquire and practice this role. Yes, you make a conscious decision to feel that you are in the Universe and also a part of the Universe. In a real sense, then, you are the Universe. This does not puff-you-up, though. When you realize how vast the Universe is, you know you need to remain humble. I did not say humiliated, I said “humble.” Which means you are unpretending, unpretentious.

Second, after you have made the decision to know your true place in the Universe, you seek confirmation. You do that through meditation wherein you become connected to the Divine Consciousness. Those of us, I, fortunately, count myself among them, who have made contact with the Divine Consciousness, have their minds, spirits, lives expanded to encompass the whole of the Universe. We are, for a time, lifted out of ourselves and “made to feel and see” the Oneness of all Creation. It is in the spiritual place that we find the meaning of life, to be happy.

Third, from this core of Oneness we experience our Bliss. As an authentic person, you project or beam this bliss into the world. Suppose you find your Bliss in connection with Supreme Consciousness. That Bliss gives you to see that you ought to be a mechanic. Or a musician, Or a teacher. Or a political leader. Please try to hear me and believe me when I say to you, that when you are at your Bliss, you will “see” who you really are and from that, what you really ought to do in the world. Bliss first, beam second is the true order of things, in my view.

Fourth, you will know you are on your bliss-beam-path, your authentic self, when you test everything you do and say, against what your bliss conveys you are. When you are going on the bliss-beam-path, what is authentic for you to do or say or be will resonate positively within you. You will feel this is right for you, in other words. It may even be a physical sensation in the torso of your body. A warm, pleasant vibration there that says, “everything is OK; everything is as it ought to be.”

Firth, this does not necessarily happen overnight. You’ve got to give yourself pace and patience and practice. Grow in meditation. Grow in finding your Bliss within. Grow in beaming that bliss to the substantive world.

Bliss-Beam Path

So, as you follow the above mentioned five items, you’ll be on your way to your authentic self. Actually, you will be carrying out your authentic self. Your authentic self is found through discovering the meaning of life, which is to be happy.
