What is the Meaning of Life?

    What is the meaning of life?
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    That's a loaded question.
  • 0:13 - 0:14
    ~ Laughter ~
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    So, the meaning of life...
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    Somebody who sees
    the way that I would see,
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    would say that
    life serves the purpose
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    of the universe at large evolving.
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    We're in a process of consciousness
    becoming conscious of itself.
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    It does that through our thoughts.
  • 0:34 - 0:35
    So,
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    every time a person, or non person...
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    any living thing,
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    comes down and experiences this life,
  • 0:41 - 0:46
    we create the idea of the improved life
  • 0:47 - 0:48
    and then we become,
  • 0:48 - 0:51
    or successive generations
    become that improvement.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    This is the reason for species evolution.
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    So, yes!
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    If you look scientifically,
    evolution happens
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    but this is a physical thing,
    taht we're seeing
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    that's a result of something much bigger.
  • 1:03 - 1:04
    So,
  • 1:04 - 1:08
    I would say, the purpose of life
    is this evolution
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    towards what is ultimately oneness.
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    But, a unified oneness
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    that is complete with consciousness.
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    A unified consciousness
    which is conscious of itself.
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    It's a very complicated
    subject to understand
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    from a three-dimensional standpoint,
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    like the human's brain is
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    but you can access this sort of truth
    through meditation
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    or any of these type of things.
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    However, what's very important to note
  • 1:36 - 1:43
    is that the way that you find
    a way to evolve in this life,
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    without having to die
    in order to realize it,
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    is that you have this
    emotional system within you.
  • 1:52 - 1:53
    This emotional system,
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    if you're gonna treat it like a compass,
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    is telling you whether
    you are in line with
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    what you are going to evolve towards,
  • 1:59 - 2:01
    or whether you aren't.
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    So, you either have to die
    to realize this evolved scenario,
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    or you can experience it in your life.
  • 2:06 - 2:07
    And the way you do that
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    is by aligning with what I call
  • 2:10 - 2:11
    your bliss.
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    So, A person,
  • 2:13 - 2:17
    if they're going to live life
    in a state of happiness,
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    is much closer to this "purpose of life"
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    than somebody who is in a state
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    where they're unhappy most of the time.
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    So, on one hand you could say
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    that the purpose of life is evolving,
    that's a bigger picture,
  • 2:30 - 2:31
    on the second hand,
    you could say
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    that the purpose of life is happiness.
