The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

The meaning of life, which is to be happy, would not be complete, in my view, without a good feeling about whatever it is you are doing. In this case I am writing a blog/vlog for you.

Further text is just below this pane.

The last couple of days I have felt like this is an incredible privilege to be sharing with you. I know that will sound sappy to some. But so be it. As I have said in other places, blogs and writings, there are three nodes to feeling the power of the Cosmic Consciousness flowing through you. This flow of power is the “to be happy” part of the meaning of life. The three nodes are acquire, rewire, inspire. I call this the Spiritual Circuit.

Acquire means developing resources like reading and other forms of study. This way new knowledge gets into your mind/soul. This knowledge helps enlighten you and aids you toward whatever goal you have for your life. Rewire means that you take the information you have gained through study and make your brain/mind into something new. Actually and literally it has been shown that the brain can and does make new neural pathways and combinations of neural pathways. Very much like rewiring a house with up-to-date circuits and outlets, or hardwiring computer networking throughout your home.

That leaves the node of inspire. This node needs to wired into your mind/soul just as much as acquire and rewire do. Without this third connection, the circuit is not complete. Without this third node attached, the power of the Cosmic Consciousness is thwarted in its flow through you.

That is where I feel the privilege lately. It is my privilege to try to inspire you to be who you really are. Notice, please, I said, “to be” who you really are. The doing comes from the being. Being comes first. Now, of course, not everyone hears me, nor will they ever. But a few people have noticed. I you thank you for that. I attempt to pass along useful information that will help people change their lives for the better. That is such a privilege to me. I get to share with whoever will listen. (Maybe that’s “whomever.” But it doesn’t really matter, does it?) Then those who listen can take the info and use it, or not. As they see fit. You also get to make comments on what I said or wrote. Amazing!

So, thanks for the opportunity to share with you, to inspire you to be who you really are. That’s the meaning of life, to be happy, in who you are and, then, in what you do.

Part of the meaning of life, which is to be happy, means looking at yourself as a good person. However, most of us have been taught that if we do something wrong, we’ll be punished. This punishment comes from an outside source.

Suppose there was no outside source of punishment? We would only have the consequences of our actions and words. What happens to us because of what we say or do, is up to us. It is up to us because we have power over what we say and do. Suppose you are not paying attention to what you are doing and accidentally place your palm on a hot burner; you will get burned. The burn is not a punishment; it is a natural consequence of putting your palm in the wrong place.

Here is the video version of this blog/vlog. If you prefer only text, then skip this pane (pain?) and continue below it.

Whatever you do or say will have natural consequences. Your palm burned on the hot range top. But you immediately can vow within yourself never to be so careless again. The consequences of any action can immediately help you start over again. Start over at being a more careful person, a better acting person, a good person. You are not stuck in what caused the adverse consequences of any situation.

You have to get away from believing there is a force that punishes you for wrong actions. I believe that there is no such force. This is where you need to shift your belief system. Change your world-view.

I believe, and am not alone in this belief, that what we name God has made the Universe free. In other words, God does not worry about you doing anything in particular. Yes. Yes. Religions have taught us that God is keeping track of our every wrong move. Those religions have taught that we will be punished for our sins. But if the Universe is free, then actions are actions. In a free Universe there is no judgment, there is only natural consequences, like a burnt hand.

So, what do you do? You do what you believe needs doing in the moment. You are the one who needs to weigh the consequences against your contemplated action. Doing your best in this moment is all you ever need expect of yourself. Considering the consequences, you act as you think best. Will you make mistakes? Yes. Because of those mistakes, will there be negative consequences? Possibly. But you will have done nothing wrong or evil. You did the best you could. That is all you need ever ask of yourself. Did I do the best I could? If the answer is yes, then you are a good person. You can relax. You may have to live with consequences, but you need never feel or believe you are being punished.

Here is my definition of a “good person”: acting as best you can in this moment. The meaning of life, to be happy, is also acting as best you can in this moment.

I have found that people weary of doing good and therefore miss the meaning of life. It is because they do not feel enough excess “being” on the interior. It’s not that they do not have it there. They just don’t recognize it still. So, they rally around the flag for a while. They work out of the overflow of their heart for a time. Then, things change. They fatigue.

But further, if your only motivation for doing good is to feel good about yourself, you are trekking through a very dry desert. One’s motivation to do good for others soon dries up, if there is no discovery of the excess within. You may want to ask me, “How can there not be an excess within you? Isn’t it just automatically there or not?”

The answer is yes and no. Yes, there is always an excess, an abundance of your spirit. No, you cannot always feel that abundance. If you do not search for the water in the desert, you will not find it. You must search within for the spirit-well, which is always overflowing. You need to concentrate on being in touch with that well. It is a well of eternal water, water eternally flowing. You do this searching by focusing internally on The Source of All That Is. When you take your focus off The Eternal Water, your spirit dries up. Your energy for well-doing is degraded. When, however, you take regular time to focus on the Eternal Water, It will flow through your spirit as an ever-life-giving stream.

I have watched this happen time and time again. It has happened in my own life. Whenever I drift away from The Source of All That Is, I begin to feel like I’m walking through a parching desert. Dry. Desolate of soul. When I “drift back” to The Source I find my interior refilling like a reservoir after a steady, day-long downpour.

Do this in your own life. “Drift back” to The Source of All There Is by being aware in and of every moment. Then you will never weary of well-doing. The meaning of life will be a constantly discovered country for you.
