Life is...?

I finally figured out the most important thing about LIFE - and that is that I figured out absolutely NOTHING about it. I just know is that I'm very analytical about it and always try to justify the world's existance as an evolutionary and/or spiritual phase that has a purpose of some sort. Or not. The questions such as "who are we?" and "why are we here?" are good questions but they really have no answer to them, if you really think about it. We just give them whichever answers suit to fulfil our 'dream worlds' in our minds - but we never really answer those questions... we just THINK about them. Maybe there is a reason for that? What if those questions don't even exist - why am I even giving a shit about asking whether those questions exist or not?

Your existance is something you want to happen - you wouldn't exist if you didn't want it to happen. And no, the excuse that one cell connected with another cell to make you a person isn't any way to say that it all happened randomly.

We are all here with a purpose - on an evolutionary or spiritual mission - to accomplish SOMETHING. That something is an unknown purpose you are currently going through in the phase of your life - like this post... it's pointless blabbering about life, but at one point or another, I was born into this world to make this post... and the purpose of this post will remain unknown... until you discover your reality. What you make of your life is your reality and nothing else can change or influence the course of it. Do you see where I'm going with this? This post is absolutely meaningless to YOU - but to me... though I think it's pointless as well... I actually was meant to do this.

Anyway... back to where I started - like I said I didn't figure anything out about life, that's how I'm going to end this post.

Life is...?


Let the bashing begin... calling me names and such, for making a 'stupid' post (or not), but I don't care - I'm happy now. *submit*

We're not allowed to know the meaning of Life because then we'd have no meaning to Live. If you figure out the meaning of Life, you will cause an end to the exisitance of all sentient Life on this Planet.

KEEP YOUR SECRETS TO YOURSELF!

Yeah man, I agree.

My head hurts. I think too much. I think about thinking all the time. I shouldn't be inputing black lines such as these into a virtual notepad... I should just get punched in the face instead... just for good measures and just to know that I'm alive. Gah.

Your initial view is existential. This humanist view of controlling your own destiny but the latter statement said that you were "meant to do this." This suggests fate and contradicts the self-empowered actions of the former.

I sense great confusion within you young one (Sorry i watched star wars ep.3 last night).

But anyways, i've been probing these questions for a while now. Perspective is key.

the purpose of existence is to question why it is that we exist.

there is no other explanation for it. out of over 1 million species of animals on this planet, only one questions their existence.

a tiger is a tiger and will always be nothing more than a tiger, and it knows that. a worker bee is a worker bee and will always be a worker bee, and it knows that. both have priorities; the tiger needs to hunt and kill animals smaller and weaker than him to survive. the worker bee needs to collect pollen from flower to cross-pollinate them, as well to provide food for the queen and strengthen the survival of the hive.

both creatures are understand their place in nature and their purpose because it is something that they were born with and it is something that they will die with.

yet, a creature that is intellectually superior above all others understands their place in nature, but not their purpose.

how is it that an animal as dumb as a bee has a better sense of propriety than the animal at the top of the food chain?

Remove the question mark and you've got it about right.

Life is.

So stop trying to be something and just be.

really?

why is it that every worker bee does the same thing (collect pollen, provide food, strenghthen the hive) and they never do anything other than that? there has to be some sort of concousness of one's purpose to always do the same thing your entire life and never go out of routine, it becomes instinct. you think that they just decide that they want to do this one day, then the next day the go and fly off to another hive? no. because they will not survive, nor would the other hive accept them (in fact, the drones would probally kill a bee from another hive).

they understand that they are there for that purpose. if they didn't, they would leave the hive once they left the larvi stage. hence, they understand their purpose.

point is that you don't know what a bee is "thinking" because we just can't know that from observation, just assume and infer. plus who knows what bees are doing when we're not watching? haha. i'll admit i'm being a little awkward here and playing devil's advocate, but you can't escape that in this kind of conversation.

Reality is manifested by thought, have a good grasp of this concept and you will have complete control of your existence.


“It is more and more borne in upon me how wrong people are to judge the events from the time of their accomplishment and not from the moment of their thought; the real action is when one thinks a thing – the rest just an unrolling of consequences. It is inevitably awesome to see the consequence come rolling in so irreparably after the thought which has started them is already so far past; people try and deal with actions, which are merely consequences and cannot, therefore , be any longer vitally affected, and leave the actual causes of events lying unnoticed and untended around them all the time.”

NOTHING.

absolutly nothing. all of the destractions we have, all of the choices, all of the stimuli are just differnt vibratons of the universal singularity. when we pass through this physical playground/holding cell of the spirit,and depending on what kind of energies we created during our time here thats were it ends up....to nothingness. just a simple sate of being. pure conciousness.

this life is a test. for our soul to experince the gift of the physical and to learn to transcend it.

this life is extremely important. perhaps the most important phase of the souls journey.

the worst thing one could do while your here is surround and cocoon(great movie) yourself around the phsyical.

..lol...at least thats what i learnd when i smoked DMT, fucking died, and then came back! lol......

it has nothing to do with "thinking", it has everything to do with "doing". i am not saying that i know what a bee is thinking, but i do know that it understands what it's purpose is cause if it didn't it would not do the same routine from birth to death. it would be misguided and would go do as it pleased, which would result in death for it.

this is exactly my point. we as humans were granted the ability to make dicisions, have choices, have the ability to question things and rationalize things. a bee doesn't have this and is subject to do one routine his entire life for survival. THAT is why he understands his purpose, which is to do the same thing everyday until he dies for his survival and the welfare of the hive. and THAT is why we do not understand our purpose, because we have the ability to write our own lives and have options available to us, if we want them. there is no set purpose for human existance, except to exist the way we see fit.

the bee is essentially a program, dna software following a sub-routine.

in other words, bees are biological programs that have an instictive purpose.

and we all know from watching the matrix what happens to a program that does not have a purpose...

it ceases to exist.

i guess we'll have to agree to disagree. we don't really know that insects are cognizant enough to have things like a purpose, anymore than a vacuum cleaner does.
