Is there a definitive answer to the age old question “what is the meaning of life?” The only real answer to this connundrum is that life will always take on the meaning you give to it.

We live in a responsive yet unpredetermined universe. Our choices and actions determine the consequences. To blame God or anyone or anything else in life for what happens is to take no responsibility for ourselves. When we do this we make excuses and to justify our positions we make judgments based on moral and other contextual definitions.

Definitions are tools of the mind. They are how the mind classifies everything it experiences. Definitions are only words. Words per se are a limited and clumsy way of trying to convey some sense of what is being subjectively experienced by the experiencer. The very experience itself is a form of classification and limitation.

The most basic definition used is whether something is either “good” or “bad”. Now both of these definitions are reliant upon our attitudes. In reality there is no good or bad.  It is just what it is! Anything more than that is just contextual.

Why then do we attempt to define life? The simple reason is that our minds are incapable of conceiving of the infinite. Whatever is conceivable by the mind can only be finite.

Our ability to differentiate is a necessity while we inhabit this mortal coil. It helps us to function as human beings in a world dominated by boundaries. It keeps us safe and comfortable.

As a society becomes more complex more and more definitive rules are required to maintain control and avoid chaos. However, these rules are only as impactive and enforceable to the extent there is adequate deterrence in place to prevent their infringement.

Imagine if you can a world where individuals were totally self-responsible and respectful of others and the world we live in? This will only be possible when there has been a massive global transformation. Such a transformation begins at a personal individual level.

This is the next step in human evolution! You can play your part right here and now. Meditation is the starting point for greater awareness and less reliance on our mental faculties. When we start to divine our heart felt understanding and knowledge we will be on the way to a miraculous transformation.

And of course from a reasoned perspective this article is nothing more than another attempt to be definitive!
