Obviously, if any of these are going on for you, you quality of life is diminished. Which, in turn, means that the meaning of life is not getting through to you. The meaning of life is to be happy. If you are so distracted by jumbled thinking that you cannot find this meaning, happiness is not with you.

The remedy? Be conscious of your mind. Sounds like a pun. Perhaps it is. Perhaps that will help you remember it. I am conscious of my mind.

Stop. Think.

What are your options? Opinions? Relations? Expressions? Activities? Goals? Dreams? Needs? Wants? You can only recognize any of these by being conscious of your mind.

You become conscious of your mind when you stop and think. Sit quietly in a quiet place. Eliminate as many sensory distractions as you can. In concentration just watch the flow of your thoughts as they pass by in your head. Do not, repeat, do not make judgements as to whether your thoughts are good or bad, useful or useless. Just watch. Observe.

What’s beneficial about this? First, you are quiet, if even for a short time. That in itself is good for you. Second, you get to observe the jumble of thoughts that naturally course through your mind. When you are ready, third, you “capture” one thought about something or someone. You thoroughly examine that thought. What will you do with that thought? What needs to be done?

Suppose you have a thought of your spouse. That thought leads to another, your wedding anniversary. Ah, you need to get a thoughtful present to celebrate.

Or you think of your job. What needs to be done, as priority, tomorrow? What’s the first thing you need to do tomorrow morning to get it done appropriately?

Do you see? By taking a quiet moment to watch the streaming-consciousness of your life, you get the opportunity to organize your thoughts. Guess what that does? It simplifies and enhances your life. You can develop the time to be happy.

Repeat after me: I am conscious of my mind. Then take two minutes to quietly observe your rushing river of thought. Then grab one thought and make it realizable. A real, key life phrase: I am conscious of my mind.

But what does this have to do with the meaning of life? Well, for one thing, we can say that the meaning of life, to be happy, is not confined to the physical structure, or grey matter, of mental capacity. The mind and/or brain is one part of a giant hologram – the Universe. Essentially that means that any part of the universe, no matter its size, contains the whole of the Universe. Just like any part of a true piece of holographic film holds the whole of the image on the film.

(What’s a hologram? Look on any of your credit cards and you will find a symbol that seems to come off the surface toward you. That is in essence a holographic image. Or remember the first in the series of Stars Wars to come out. Princess Leia’s holographic image is projected from C-3PO, as Leia tries to contact Obi-Wan “Ben” Kenobi.)

If the entire Universe is a hologram and your mental capacity is one part of that hologram, the whole Universe is out for you to be happy. The Universe “wants” you to be happy.

Why? Happiness may be defined as harmony, perfect harmony. So the Universe, being total or perfect in and of itself, seeks Its own happiness. But when It does, It takes you “along with it.” Because it is holographic, each “piece” of it contains the Total. So, you as a piece of the Total, your highest value, so to speak, is to be happy, as the Universe is and seeks to be. The meaning of life is in the very Structure of the Universe AND, therefore, in your own mental capacity.

I wholeheartedly invite comments and concerns.
