Do no harm and all will be well. Only YOU can walk YOUR path. You are vital in this process, your perception is vital to the whole. If we can find a space to be grateful, we can overcome everything else. The mere fact you have running water is something to be grateful for. For when we are grateful, it's impossible to be sad. ❤️💪🙏 I know I am lucky to be where I am and who I choose for my life partner, but I also missed out on alot, when I was younger when my mates were foot loose and care free. My point is, time is a myth, there's no tomorrow,only NOW. We have freewill. Use it. Unapologetically and do no harm. Then God, the universe,The Creator whatever you wish to call it, works with you. Not against you. Just he Grateful, Be kind, Be You. Only YOU can do it, be the Hero ❤️❤️💪💪🙏🙏

I think the meaning of life is connection. That starts with yourself. Building connections to your inner child and nurturing yourself back to adulthood. Then you’re able to value connection with others. Without the connection to yourself first all other attempts at connection feel empty. Once you value the connection your brain will open up a whole new way

[@kkeiter]

Yes we are definitely experiencing a coldness of humanity. Isolation. Sad. Lack of connection and meaning. Definitely. Commercialization of everything

[@eyeexaggerate7687]

I’ve studied Gnosticism and Jung for over 25 years, and meaning is a big part of that. imo, the problem is that meaning-making takes quiet, solitude and actual work. You can’t order meaning and have it the next day. Also, we’re so locked-in to all things tangible that we don’t understand the inner life. It speaks in images (such as in dreams, etc.) and takes work and patience to accomplish an understanding.

[@yoeyyoey8937]

You can order meaning and have it right now actually. That’s all it is. If it takes longer then that’s cause of your insolence, arrogance or ignorance or a combo but it’s not inherently hard or time consuming

[@yoeyyoey8937]

The fact that you want to and can give it meaning is a meaning of its own

[@Cardioid2035]

Jordan Peterson puts it simply; meaning is found in responsibility. Whether it be responsibility in providing for a family, responsibility in upholding a stressful job that helps others etc... I really resonate with that because infallible truth as to who we are, what we are and why we’re consciously ‘here’ is not seemingly knowable to us in this physical realm of existence. It seems we can only feel a sense of meaning by doing something entirely external from ourselves

Gnosensism - and every illuminati popularized and new age path - is a trap. Went down that rabbit hole 44 years, then learned it's just more mind control against humanity to confuse...and like all illuminati (we can just refer to them as what they are & have been since before organized under that name - worshippers of evil) paths, it INVERTS the truth and teaches to DO EVIL (same with kabbalah) under the deceptiom that being destructive - in additon to sometimes doing good - is necessary to "become your own god/dess." Basically these systems were created by selfish pervert predators to gradually pervert others into SUBhuman behavior so they can didddle kids.z As there are worshippers of the Evil One of many names today, and since the beginning of civilization, there were such evil tricksters then, and they diabolically-cleverly buried their lies in caves and within the secret evil-worshipping clubs. Basically, if it's pushed by ladies in yoga pants and men with their hair in buns, it's likely a new age scam (tho I believe most - esp in 20s & 30s - haven't gone down the rabbit hole long enough to discover how truly evil gnosticism is. Just a heads up after decades down that path.

Ignorance has blinded us from something that i think humanity has always had. And that is yearning, and it doesn’t necessarily pertain to one individual thing. Living the same life day after day becomes monotonous. Surely a person desires something new, something different, or interesting. Best example is addiction, our body almost punishes us for being in that same place, and it takes stronger yearning to change. Like Joey Diaz said “ you ever met a person that don’t do nothing. I like a person with a little edge to em” 😂

Humanity has ALWAYS had a meaning crisis. Its the nature of thinking one is a self, dukkha, and all that. A threatened sense of meaning is why people invented religion, and so on: its a ubiquitous feature of human life since the dawn of man. People tend to just fallback on finding their meaning in their relationships with others, as most aren't capable of questing, grand artistic achievement, and so on. Thus the issue is really the tears in the social fabric: the social isolation, the inability for people to date, the schism between men and women, social media, etc. The crisis of meaning and these crises are one and the same.

[@ChrisCash720]

Theo really speaks like an enlightening kenny powers

[@Kormac80]

3 pillars that always propped up humanity: clan, connection to nature and a unifying myth. All 3 are severely diminished or gone. Meaning and identity are interwoven concepts and they arise from those 3 factors. Our clan shows us who we come from and who we owe our allegiance to. We have a role within it, an identity. Our connection to nature grounds us to the world. The unifying myth creates shared values and an understanding of origins, sacred rituals that are shared by community that creates bonding that transcends the mundane as we traverse sacred space together. All that is largely gone in a secularized world of technology where nature is a resource to be exploited or used for recreation. And family / clan is sacrificed on the altar of personal ambition.

You could conquer the whole world but at the end you’ll still feel empty inside if you don’t know God.

[@yoeyyoey8937]

It’s not religión vs science. This is a false dichotomy. Religion is a thing that gives people meaning but it’s not the only thing that has that capacity. Meaning is something you find for yourself because it doesn’t exist objectively (although that’s what we’d like to believe cause it makes us feel better and that’s why people are attracted to religion-it gives you the sense of objective meaning). If you can get over that fantasy instead of falling for it or resisting it (which is the same thing, in both instances you are assuming it’s real and important) then you can start doing the work to make life meaningful.
