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

You were born to beam. So many folks think and act as if their lives are to be without meaning and without happiness.

Let me make this clear. You are free to choose what your life shall be. I am not trying to tell you that unless you do thus and such, your life is not worthwhile. Never.

This rest of the text follows this video pane:

Whatever life you choose for yourself, it is of significance. The Universe has need of you.

But why not choose more happiness and meaning? Your were born to beam.

By that I mean you have been given a very special place in the Universe. The Cosmos cannot do without you. You may think otherwise, that the Universe can do without you. If you think that way, you are sadly mistaken.

You were born to experience on behalf of the Cosmos, the Mega-Consciousness. The Conscious Cosmos is One. As One it cannot experience for experience is always in relationship to something else. Hot and cold. Light and night. Sharp and dull.

You can and do experience all those dualities. From your experiencings your feed the knowledge base of the Conscious Cosmos.

You come to know you are of value to the Universe through the meditative arts. It is also in meditation that you find your meaning in life, which is to be happy. From meaning, happiness and purpose your life expands in such a way that it seems as if you actually beam your happiness into the substantive world.

Thus, by my logic, you were born to beam. How much you beam is up to you. Make no mistake, though – you beam to some degree in any case. How about choosing to beam better? That is, why not decide to be as happy as you possibly can be?

How does beaming affect your happiness? Simple. The more you beam, the more you reinforce your happiness. Happiness does not come from beaming, but beaming demonstrates happiness.

This is not demonstration to prove to others that you are happy and have meaning and purpose. You never need prove that you are happy to others. This is a demonstration for yourself.

It energizes your happiness. It puts your happiness into the world. When you have found purpose, meaning and happiness, it seems that they spill over into your corporal life.

How do you beam? By sharing your happiness with others. What does your friend need that you can supply? What does your neighbor require that you can help fulfill? What does the world want that you can supply?

Do you see? Beam as you were born to and you will increase your own happiness. The greater the beaming, the greater the actualizing of your life.

There is where your life is going – to actualization. If taken literally, you are making yourself actual. What does it mean to be actual?

It means you can understand yourself as real. That your life, words, actions, count for something. They do even if you do not set out to beam. Your life counts.

But how would you like to witness that it does? Of course you would. You witness your life as reckoning import by beaming your happiness into the world. You do that by serving others from the foundation of your life’s meaning and purpose.

Begin better beaming today.

I have a hard time dealing with the incivility that I see all too often in my world. I believe it effects the worldly happiness of us all. I believe it effects the meaning of life as we can find it.

The remainder of the text of this blog is found immediately after this video pane:

Whether it is incivility between coworkers, in politics, in international relations, indeed, even in families, lack of civility is, to me, a major problem. People cannot even discuss the simplest or the most profound of ideas without naming calling and aspersion-casting. Courtesy has even fled under the onslaught of mean-spirited dialogue. It seems that some prefer to destroy the other person with personal invective and vitriol.

I reserve the possibility of becoming angry. Anger in itself can be used as a tool to put steel into my backbone when that might be needed. I cannot let any adversary simply run over me. I daresay you might feel similarly. Anger need not be destructive when controlled and used as energy behind a motive.

But setting aside anger as a possibility, happiness inside, that you have found as the meaning of life, cannot be well-lived in a place of discourtesy and disrespect. How long do you desire to remain in someone’s company when they are being rude to you.

When you are rude or disrespectful to someone else, he or she will not wish to be in your company long. Courtesy, respect, regard, honor the other person. These grant him or her value. When others feel valued and honored they are much more inclined to hear and understand you. When you are understood you are better able to beam your bliss into your physical world.

A true indication that you have found the meaning of life, which is happiness, is your desire to express or experience this happiness in the world around you. You convey your happiness to your physical world by doing the very best you can to make it as good as possible. You endeavor to raise up your world and the people in it.

The meaning of life is to be happy. To be happy on the inside through connection to Divine Consciousness almost compels you to experience meaning and happiness in your work-a-day world. You just long for opportunities to express yourself through experience. Your every day is about experiencing.

Think about it for just a moment. What is your life all about? Doing things? Raising a family? Achieving goals? Yes, all of that and more. What do we call that? Experience.

Bucket lists are interesting. People make list of things they want to do or places they want to go before they die. That is experiencing people, places, foods, sights, sounds – experiences. In other words, fulfill your life by experiencing.

It is difficult to experience well in an atmosphere of incivility. Try to make your world as civil as you can. I realize you have no control over other people and events. But you do have control over how you live your life. I did not say you have control over what comes into your life. But, again, you do have control over how you will react to your life.

Be civil, so far as is possible. It will enhance your experiencing. Being civil helps you enjoy your life as you honor other people. When other people feel honored, guess what? They will feel more like honoring you.

Courtesy will cultivate your experiencing with significant impact. Experiencing well will help you fulfill the happiness you know inside. Experiencing happiness inside and out is the meaning of life.
