The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

I had just given a talk about the meaning of life. At the greeting line, one woman said to me, “I need you to tell me exactly what to do.”

I told her I couldn’t do that because she was her own person and needed to follow her own path. “But,” she said, “you clergy have always told me what to do with my life.”

Again, I said I was not going to do that. She was free to choose her own way of life. She did not attend many of my talks after that. She simply needed someone to tell her what to do. She thought.

So, this blog post is not going to tell you what to do. But one of our readers has asked the question, “What is the purpose of my life?” Believe me when I say that many, many people struggle with this question. Even more would engage this question if they allowed themselves the time to do so. They are so busy with life that they never stop long enough to discover what their life-purpose is. And I cannot “sit on high” and prescribe for anyone what they shall be and do.

The way you discover meaning in life and find your way to your purpose is by first making contact with the Divine, first. Meditation is the best and fastest way to that goal. Through contact with the Divine, you will discover that you are loved just as you are. You are accepted just as you are. This is liberation from any tyrannies that might say to you that “must” do this or you “must” be that.

Happiness and Purpose Map

When you have discovered this liberation, you will know that your purpose, at foundational levels, is simply “to be.” (To be what? To be happy.) In other words, you are here on earth during your lifetime to experience all that is appropriate for you to experience. (A la Neale Donald Walsch in Conversations with God, which I wholeheartedly recommend.)

When you have accepted within yourself that you are free to experience, then you look around to see what brings you the best resonance with the happiness you have through contact with the Divine. This can be a literal feeling of warmth and joy in the torso of your body.

Example, but only an example. Suppose you have felt so liberated that you discovered flowers for the “first time” in your life. Yes, flowers have always been around you. But in your bliss of acceptance you really see them. One day you are encouraged from somewhere to buy a bunch of flowers and arrange them. Arranging the flowers and seeing the completed arrangement gives you great resonance in the core of your being (Perhaps even literally in your body’s torso or even at a spiritual level.) It “dawns” on you that you could make a life (living) out of arranging flowers. Maybe then you have found your purpose in life.

Start by being happy at your core, then beam that bliss into the corporal world. When things are “right” for your and your purpose, you feel that resonance within you.

The meaning of life is to be happy. Your find your purpose through that bliss. Begin today to beam your bliss into the world.
