The Meaning of Life, To Be Happy, and the Whole of Life and Where You Fit In

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

In the meaning of life, as I define it, to be happy, there is the place where you fit into life. Not knowing this is sad. In such a mood as that Gerry came through the door of my office. Shoulders drooping, countenance ashen, she eased herself into the chair as if she were positive that if she moved “wrong” she would cause herself great pain.

The complete text of this blog continues after the YouTube pane.


I asked her how she was doing. “That’s just it, Dr. Bob. I just came from a weekend with my in-laws and I feel ridiculous. Where do I fit in?” She told me of how they, the in-laws, seemed to exclude her. How, at first, it seemed like her imagination. But no, as the weekend wore on, she realized they were deliberately being rude and belittling. She said she tried to understand why this was happening. Gerry said she always had problems with feeling like she did not fit. At first thought it was her own emotional tone that made her feel as she had that weekend. However, the more aware she became of her own feelings, the more she realized it was not all her.

Here was an authentic life challenge for Gerry for two reasons. One, she understood that because of her own feelings, actions and words by others could set off her own negative opinions of herself. Two, actions and words by others can be designed by them to maneuver a person in the direction of being an outcast. Both are real challenges, one coming from a person’s interior life and the other from exterior life.

What to do? How to help Gerry see that she fit no matter what was happening outside herself? And quickly done too. She appeared desperate.

“Gerry, do you understand the idea of ‘Universe’? That there is the whole, the entirety of creation?”

She allowed that she thought so. I asked if she believed she was a part of this whole.

“Well, yes, if I am in the Universe, then I must be part of it. What’s the point, Dr. Bob?”

“The point is that if you are part of this entirety we name the Universe, if you were missing from it, would it be the same?”

“Of course not,” she replied. I avow to you that at that precise moment, as she finished her reply, the color began to return to her face. She then made the intuitive leap. “I am part of the Universe, so … I fit no matter what.”

Here is where I needed to let her be in her thoughts and not interject more than was necessary. Sometimes doing that, interjecting more information than is needed, just gums up the works.

With a smile, Gerry said, “I never thought of it that way. Is it that simple? Yes, it is. And no one can ever take my place.” Her physical expression going out of the office was the complete opposite, I would say, of her way of moving when she first came in.

You must to understand that your life is a needed and integral part of the Universe in which you live. Your place can only be taken by you. No one can replace you or what you represent to the Universe. You often cannot easily see this. But it is there and part of the meaning of life. In that meaning, obviously, when you feel you fit, you will know happiness.

The Meaning of Life, To Be Happy, and What A Privilege to Share With You 92

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

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.

The Meaning of Life, To Be Happy, and Behaving Well Is Self Serving – You Bet It Is 90

Monday, April 19th, 2010

For many hundreds of years, perhaps thousands, some of the religious organizations of the world, especially in the Western hemisphere, used the threat of Hell to get people to behave. This even went to so far as to officially remove reincarnation as a doctrine so as not to give people “another chance” at living their lives as “they should.”

MORE TEXT AFTER VIDEO PANE

In the 21st century, many people have dropped their belief in Hell. Even the Roman Catholic Church has dropped its doctrine of God imposing a place of torture that lasts for eternity. Of course, most of the Eastern hemisphere’s religious organizations or philosophies had never believed in Hell.

So how are people to be kept in order? What incentive do we have to behave? We teach people to be self serving. What you do comes back to you. Like dropping a pebble in a small pond. Watch ripples undulate from the pebble-drop. But them watch those same ripples repeat back upon themselves, to the very spot where the pebble was first dropped. This demonstrates cause and effect.

See that? Cause and effect. If I do something, the cause, it will come back to me, the effect. This has been understood for thousands of years in the East. Even so much so that the idea of reincarnation has within its insight that a person may have to have repeated lives in order to work out this cause and effect. This is often given the name Karma. This is not punishment. We are simply taught about the Universe being constructed in such a way that what one does, has a very definite effect upon you.

That effect may not happen in the next instant. But it will happen. And the greater or more potent the cause, the larger or more powerful the effect will be.

So, we teach people, actually children from a very early age, that what you do comes back upon you. Do good or well, good will come back upon you. One of my own favorite proverbs, something I made up myself is this: “The evil that men do comes back upon them.”

Of course, the positive is just as true: “The good that men do comes back upon them.”

We teach people to behave by showing them that there is cause and effect, by living this truth ourselves. There is no God telling us we are going to Hell if we don’t behave. We will put ourselves into a hell if we misbehave.

I imagine, however, that this shift is going to be difficult to implement. Religious organizations will have to change drastically. Knowing what I do about religious organizations, this may take generations to happen. In the meantime, more and more Western hemisphere people will turn to Eastern hemisphere philosophies and religions that teach cause and effect.

Is cause and effect self serving? You bet it is. But when we serve ourselves well and know that there are consequences for those actions, then everyone benefits.
