In Freedom You Can Find the Meaning of Life

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Took me awhile but then it dawned on me. “Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light …” The United Sates of America is a country where we are free. But what does that have to do with the meaning of life? We are free to pursue happiness. You recognize the idea from the Declaration of Independence.

However, in the days when the Declaration was first written, to pursue happiness had more of the meaning to practice happiness. So, we are free to practice happiness. We can do the things we wish as long as we harm no one else (that is, for the most part, break no laws). We are free to be what we wish to be: good, bad or indifferent. (We may get locked up for doing bad things.) But we can strive to a great contributor to our culture. Or we can be a couch-potato all our lives and no one will really hassle us about that. The point, of course, is that there are many places in the world where this cannot be. People are not free. (Indeed, in some countries, women are slaves, pure and simple. Certainly, we have and had exceptions in our own country too. People for reasons of their religion, race, culture, etc., have been enslaved or abused. We cannot simply gloss that over and pretend it never happened.)

However, I believe we can say, and I hope I am right, we are the freest people on earth.

Now, I need to go further and say to you that no matter your circumstances, you are free in your spirit and can be free in your spirit. The seat, the throne of happiness is your spirit as connected to The Source of All That Is. In this freedom, you are truly free. Short of torture beyond endurance, no one can take your happiness away from you because it resides in your spirit. There have even been incidents where persons of extreme spiritual resolve had kept their happiness even in torture beyond normal human fortitude.

Life’s meaning is found in being happy. Being happy is found in your spirit. Your spirit is found as your engage yourself with The Source. Freedom reminds us all of the meaning of life, to be happy.

I wholeheartedly invite comments and concerns.

Let The Meaning of Life Be a Matter of Relaxed Vigilance

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

I often find myself trying too hard to capture and hold the meaning of life. Seems like an incongruity, doesn’t it? Here I am “being happy” and instead I find myself striving after happiness as the meaning of life. I get myself wound up and can’t let go.

You may not be old enough to remember wind-up watches and clocks. Please let me tell you about them, a little. These wind-up time-pieces had what’s called a main spring within them. You wound that spring up using a key for a clock, or a stem on a watch. When the spring was coiled, it stored energy which it released “over time” (pun intended). As the spring uncoiled, it force the mechanism within the clock or watch to move. The gears and sprockets within the time piece caused the spring to loosen at a set rate. Thus “keeping time.”

But, you could wind these springs too tight. Then the clock or watch would lock up and not work at all. So, you had to be careful to wind well, but not too tightly. That’s the case with us, human beings. We need to be energized, to receive power, but we need to be careful not to wind ourselves too tightly or we will be under so much tension, we cannot work effectively. The springs in the watches or clocks had to be coiled to a relaxed tension. No more.

How do we translate that to ourselves? We need to be keeping watch (again, pun intended, even if it is a bad one) over ourselves to see that we are doing things like meditating or praying to make connection with The Source of All That Is. But we need to be relaxed about it. There is no hurry, no deadline. God has always been there and will always be. As long as we make the effort “to be happy,” we will find happiness and, thus, the meaning of life.

We must keep vigilant lest we slip away from being happy. But we need to be relaxed about it. Happiness is always there, always with us. Never farther than our next conscious heartbeat. We need not stress ourselves over finding and keeping the meaning of life.

I wholeheartedly invite comments and concerns.

So What Does It Feel Like When the Love of God Is Flowing “Into” the Meaning of Life?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Words often fail the greatest wordsmith when he or she tries to explain the ineffable. The best we can do is hint at what it feels like. We can point others in directions they might wish to travel. But, in the end, each person will experience the flow of the love God in a different way. The difference may be subtle or it may be monumental, or somewhere in between.

Some, trying to use words, will emote such as this: “I don’t have to do anything. I am free the way I am.”

Or, “Just by being who I am, a human being, I can be ‘turned on to’ the Love of God.”

Maybe, “I am filled with the Love of God.”

Perhaps the feeling comes, as it does for me, as a warming of the torso from the inside out. For me it is often as if I drink a hot beverage on a cold day and feel my “innards” radiating warmth.

Of course, please be sure you note that there is no right way nor wrong way to experience the flow of the Love of The Source of All That Is.

Sometimes persons smile involuntarily when there seems to be nothing to smile at. Or even smile in the midst of some untoward happening. Some feel enjoy doing “silly” things like hug everyone they meet. Clapping on the back in congratulations everyone they encounter.

Won’t you like these kinds of feelings for yourself? Of course, you would. Well, you have to do something to get them. You have to make a thorough connection to The Source of All That Is. You do that by turning your spirit in the direction of that Love. I do not mean that you must turn east or west. I mean that you must turn your attention to God on a regular and consistent basis. Everyday in some way, make contact with God. Repeating mantras, sessions of prayer, focused concentration, meditating, are some of the ways. These times of linking with God can be anywhere from one minute (yes, literally) to 30 minutes or more. They can be when you rise in the morning, at a coffee break at the office, or even as you are falling off to sleep at night. (We used to call it “saying our prayers” at night.) The only real deal is to make that connection, regularly, consistently. As you do this you will find yourself ever close to feeling the meaning of life.

I wholeheartedly invite your comments and questions.
