The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

Happiness is, of course, going to mean different things to different people. Here are my ideas.

To be happy is the meaning of life. This statement is attested to by various sages both ancient and modern.

But how do you find and keep happiness? Here are the three ideas:

Remainder of text for this post is immediately following this video pane:

1. Make and keep a connection with The Source of All There Is. Some will name this source “God.” You may name it anything you wish, or name it nothing at all. All I ask is that you drop any baggage that the term “God” may have held for you.

2. Experience your life as if it was meaningful – for it is. In other words, seek as many positive experiences as you can hold. This is the purpose of your life.

3. Beam your bliss into the world through experiencing and sharing. When you know meaning, happiness and purpose, this beaming will feel like it must be done.

Here’s what I mean in expanded detail.

It is my belief that in order to be happy you need make a genuine connection to The Source of All There Is. Why? For the simple reason that the world and life in the world cannot give you happiness. You cannot discover real happiness in the world because it is not there.

It is not in the world because all things and even people in the world eventually disappear. There is nothing permanent in the corporal world. It grieves us all that this is the case. But it must be faced for it is something that all of us will face sooner or later.

What is permanent, if anything? It seems to me that the Universe is permanent. The Universe is The Source of All There Is. The energy of the Universe is never lost, never vanishes to never be seen again.

Everything comes from this Source – the Universe. In It you live and move and have your being. Without It you could not be.

But why make a connection to It? Because in It you will find complete and utterly unconditional acceptance. In that acceptance you will find meaning. The meaning of life is to be happy. You find happiness because you are completely accepted as you are.

There is no grander feeling than to be completely, totally accepted – no conditions or qualifications. This is meaning and happiness.

Okay. So finding complete acceptance is to find the meaning of life which is to be happy. But what do you do with your life? What’s your purpose?

Because The Source of All There is the Complete Entity it cannot be in relationship to anything else. It is whole. Yet it needs to feel active, vibrant, real. How does anything know what it feels like to be real?

By interacting with other things. Experiencing itself as over against something else. So, you get to be the interacting agent on behalf of The Source of All There Is. You can experience yourself as experiencing.

What do you need to experience? Everything positive that you can hold or encounter. No one, including The Source, tells you what you must digest as experience. You are free to choose. You choose many, many opportunities over a lifetime.

When you do this encountering, you are living on behalf of The Source. That is your purpose.

When you know the meaning of life, which is to be happy, and when you are experiencing – fulfilling your purpose – you will feel impelled to beam your bliss into the world.

In other words, you will feel like sharing what you know about meaning, happiness, purpose. Just as if you won the lottery and you want to share your good news with everyone, so you will feel about true, real happiness.

You beam your bliss by giving yourself away. That can be done in a myriad of ways. Teach. Donate. Build. Comfort. Encourage. And more.

While you are beaming your bliss, you will be reinforcing your own happiness by spreading that happiness and seeing the results in other people’s lives. You will be developing a pleasant circle (as opposed to a vicious circle).

There you have it: an answer to the question, “What Is happiness?” Get to developing within yourself those three ideas right now.

One Person Can Change The World

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.
