"Finding the Meaning in Life - Fulfillment" is the written narrative from a speech I presented.
This speech was presented within a specific time limit, whereas I had to contribute the information in summary format. The speech indicates a flow of empirical knowledge formulated within aspects of life, intermixed with the knowledge of objective realities. Followed by a basic formula to find the Meaning in Life, leaving the detail to be included in a more definitive article, and also, a programme for each individual. This programme has relevance for each and all of us if we truly want to find our own Meaning in Life.
"Finding the Meaning in Life - Fulfillment"
If I said to
you: "You don't find the meaning in
life by doing something, but rather, find the meaning of life first, and
then you do something in life that has meaning." ...Would you understand?
Many lifetimes ago, I sat on the balcony after
achieving something else in life and said: "What now?" I realized then
it was never going to end. The next achievement and next and next. It seemed
so superficial. From that point in life I decided to find more meaning in
life. I decided to question everything in my life from a child. Why did my
parents raise me like they did, why did I go to school, why was I educated,
why did I get a job, why did I look for pleasure, why did I get married, why
did I have children; Why, Why, Why?
I eventually realized we have all
been programmed to fit into the
economic system for it's survival. If we weren't programmed to attend
school, get a job and then spend money, our mechanistic society would cease
to exist. We were all told the meaning of life and fulfillment comes from
our economic success, but it is all a lie because people
don't feel
fulfilled as they always look externally for meaning and
fulfillment. The reality is:
personal meaning and fulfillment only surfaces from within
and in turn gives us autonomy over our lives.
I've
observed and known people with money, success and power. They continue to
look for something. Never stopping to reflect on their behaviour but rather
planning their next adventure and purchase. Accumulating more money and an
addiction to this power. They become
subservient to their emotional economic dyslexia where it is
unable to be stopped as the emotional addiction loops continually through
their body and life. I want, I want....
I remember a
family of 4. Two adults and young children who possessed three houses. One
to live in and two investment properties. To do this they dropped their
children off to daycare at 7am and picked them up at 6pm five days a week.
At the end of the year they used to take them to Disneyland as they felt
guilty. How are these children going to grow up? With a sense of implicit
loss, a sense of unbelonging as the parents have consciously placed
mechanistic economic advantage over love nurturing. And the child will
continue this trend in life as they have been programmed to believe it is
life. Yet, always sensing a loss, and not
knowing why.
I have seen
it all - anxiety, stress, depression and some serious mental health
problems. The predominant reason for these mental problems is the persons
inability to find meaning in life, a struggle to find fulfillment,
contentment and belonging. Unable to find inner peace in our economic society. Forever trying to
establish a reason for their problems and never finding an answer because
they have been programmed to believe our society will bring meaning to self
- and it doesn't.
People look for escape from the inner turmoil of living in our society; ever
based on competitiveness and a need for more. Always wanting to do more, where the end is never in reach. To relieve this life's loop they
resort to alcohol, medication, entertainment and primitive pleasure, to numb
the implicit feeling of un-belonging to themselves, where purchases fill this
need temporarily. What if I said you are able
to find your personal Meaning in Life which gives you the autonomy to feel
meaning and then choose what you do which has a more profound reality? Would
you like that? It is
possible.
So what are the Fundamentals in Finding the Meaning in Life?
One small glass of water per hour as this is the
conductor of our energy field and keeps natural flow.
It allows us to grow as a person as it is a
natural progression towards Pure-Self.
(4) Sexuality. Naked embrace and touch is intrinsically connected to nature. If you are alone this connection can be achieved by touching and arousing
Self, towards the realm of nature's desire - the divine attachment to self and
nature - leading to fulfillment
though the release of this energy. If you feel an energy field of connection with someone,
naked touch and embrace is the
natural realm of this
energy field,
and a
natural
extension of your connection to that person; enabling you to separate from societies restrictiveness,
and enjoy the moment with more depth.
The purpose in life is to touch our inner self,
where we find life is not projected as society dictates. But rather life has
a connection to self and in turn
a connection to nature. We have a
divine intelligence if we reach
it with knowledge; and the only way to this knowledge is to know ourselves.
From here we transcend to personal liberty.
If I said to
you: "You don't find the meaning in
life by doing something, but rather, find the meaning of life first, and
then you do something in life that has meaning." ...Would you understand?
