Hello

Yes well if life actually had a point we would all be striving to obtain it. Wouldn't we? In todays society its the common misconception that the point is to get a good job secure ones future and buy a numerous amounts of expensive crap you really don't need. The things one owns ends up owning oneself. Sad really. Procreation is another stab at it, but then what is the point of the life of that? Rather tedious if the point of life is just to create more of it. Scientist and some others believe its seeing how long you can live, making vaccines that only in turn make bigger and better things to kill us. So that coulden't be right. So if the point of life is to die? Then musn't the point of death is to live first? So really if theres no point other then to die well we might as well have fun while were here because we don't know what happens next. Just be happy and have fun with what you have and when you finally do die atleast you know you had a bloody good time. Even if there was no point.

By the way i'm new hello all.

I'm as well new and so very pleased to answer as 1st this very deep question with my humble words:
stop making sence and asking questions of that kind - the sence of life is to live it
try to smash a rabbit anyhow

being here in this space in time, is to allow us to have as much fun and pleasure as is physically possible. ENJOY

we only own the present, thats why i don't need a quote for life insurance. Life is futile, you just have to learn how to enjoy it. Try smoking all the wonderful things that have evolved over billions of years on our planet. Were the only known living entities who can you know. Why ban it now and undo all that natural selection?

from god we can know the point of life.

If you ever find out one single "the-point-in-life" thing I'd love to hear about it. Right now it seems to me that the point in life is that there are many, many different points to it, depending on you inmediate circumstances, perceptions, needs and desires.

You may ask, "What does she means by all that?" And I would answer, well, "she doesn't know very well what she really means, but she is working very, very hard to figure it out".

I know this probably doesn't help very much but it is meant in the spirit of kindness, so be kind with your judgement.

There is no point, that is the point. Enjoy the enormority of all the pointlessness in the universe, I know I do.

Hiya!

As the Goddessoflife, i have great compassion for those of us that struggle to understand the meaning behind our experiences.

The fact that you have a question in respect of your origin and your awareness, is testiment to the beautiful quest and world of discovery your essence has given you.

Your point in life is just that, your life, your purpose, your unique individual learning and growth, to enhance, create, understand, discover, yourself and others to provide for a better tomorrow, today!

The times when we find ourselves reaching outside for an answer, is all part of that process, a baby makes many attempts before it is able to walk, yet the baby becomes very efficient at it, once it is able.

We can see the meaning to life expressed through everything we do, and when we choose to open our eyes to the truth, the world resembles the beauty that resides within each of us.

Everyone acts as a mirror to our own feelings, emotions and thoughts and so to change your picture / view of your life, the easiest way (easier said than done) is to accept your self and others for all that exists.

Sometimes it may feel dark, yet the light is always there, no amount of darkness can put out the flame of life.

Life will always find a way to grow, expand, evolve, etc, and so any problem is only a potential solution!

Trusting yourself and your unique indivual purpose and intention, is all anything really boils down to.

All that you dream is possible, you just have to accept it!

Love and Light!

Hello Goddessoflife *waves*

You may know about Life and the Universe, but you might not know Everything

I have left a message in your Personal Space, which will hopefully assist you in finding your way about Hootoo

Don't forget to have plenty of breaks and the has no calories at all

Actually, if he was marvin's twin, he'd rather not to be bothered with the word "life", and then he would excuse for troubling you with his useless questions, then excuse for breathing, even when he has no need to do so.

Let's put it simple! Marvin wouldn't be bothered to use a PC, having a brain of the size of a planet...

I've just remembered... twins are very different from each other. They're only (almost) identical physically, but their minds may be actually quite different... they could even be totally opposite.

Ah yes! the point in life! The point in life is that there is no point in it. By definition, a point is a non-dimensional singularity and that cannot exist inside our 4 dimensional perception of time. Well, maybe if you travel to a black hole and come out of it alive to tell what does it taste like. If you do, leave me a message!

Cheers!

In all honesty, every thing you mentioned was a label, like jamjar, door nob, angel, god, religion, dogma, toilet paper, tooth paste, brush, wing wong, and any other word, you might want to consider using to back up your point in making absolutely no point at all as you put it.

What ever you might want to call this EXPERIENCE (YET ANOTHER LABEL)

It is entirely down to you!

What is important is the experience itself... to experienced, be experienced, lived understood, felt, tasted, smelled, heard, seen, imagined, realised, manifested.

Your Journey, whether you choose it to resemble a "POINTLESS EXISTENCE" is entirely your choice.

Oh, but then nothing exists does it?... so i'm talking to nothing!

Yet on a positive note........

Nothing is greater than everything, so I guess you are both?

ALL IS ONE, WE ARE ONE.

Love and Light!

Hi Goddess! (Lovely positive note btw!)

Let me tell you, I totally agree with you!

Of course it exists! I said there is no point in it because... what is a point anyway? Why there has to be a point in my life? Why not a line? Or a curve? Or a sphere? Or a hyphershpere??? Why is that tendency to find a point in everything? Why to concentrate the escence of things in just one point? just one sentence? a condensed amorphous mass?

Things have much more than one point.
Life definitely has much more than one point.

Then (logically speaking of course) I believe that is not really the question to the answer you want to hear. However, I'd like to believe in what one of the previous posts mentioned: that we souldn't really listen to our logical part of the brain and instead start acting by instinct.

Life is for living. That is the "point".

Living it -at it's maximum- is the point. Imagine it! They say "present" (another Label!!!) lasts three seconds! Let me tell you, dear Goddess, I choose to live those three seconds as if they were the last ones of my life.

D'you want a points? alright, label 'em. Label 'em as your career, as your partner, as your kids. Those are (among others of course) the kind of experiences that concentrate both physical and spiritual pleasure; the kind of experiences that evolve and define you; the kind of experiences that will leave humanity a proof that you existed. Obtacles may come out from them, and then, it will be your opportunity to challenge them and learn something from them. I mean, we never stop learning.

The point in all of this is that
"In each of our lives, we must make decisions. When these times come, be ready to make the right choices.
Continue in what you know is true, though truth is often hard to see." - Doug Ten Napel

"Choice. the problem is choice." - Neo

Given that each human being can be considered to be unique, each human life can also be considered to be unique. we could then expect that each individual life has its own unique "point" (a term I use loosely after "ItsGoodToBeFree's" post).

With this in mind, it is IMPOSSIBLE to come up with one simple answer to the question "what is the point in life" that will suit everyone.

What has become clear to me is that the "point" of life is not to build a career, or become famous, or to accumulate vast quantities of "stuff". All of these things will eventually disappear. None of these things will have any sort of noticeable effect on the universe for a noticeable time after you have gone.

One explanation I've heard is that the point of this life is to prepare you for the next (eternal) life. but this of course leads to the obvious question of "what is the point in the next life?"

For an interesting discussion on the meaning of life, I recommend reading through the book of Ecclesiastes in the bible. It's not that long and relatively easy for people unfamiliar with biblical terminology to read through.

Please dont use this conversation to preach bible bashing crap!

Not everyone, wants to have their mind controlled to a "point" that the only justification they have is to beleive in a book.

If it helps you thats fine, but please don't preach to those who do not ask to be preached to, have some compassion for the other gods here please.

After all we did write the flipping thing. Humanity that is!

We are all gods in our own right, and our lives or this experience is our creation.

It really does get up my nose, when i see weak minded individuals refering back to either einstein or the bible for their reference on this existance, purely affraid of having their own thoughts and feelings.

Did Einstein refer back to someone elses theory or did he use his own?
How did Einstein have a theory?

Was it by living, trusting his self?

Oh yes, just to remove your bible bashing theory out of the window, did you know Einstein that FAMOUS MAN, who served his people very well actually studdied Kabbalah?

Which will probabally be viewed as EVIL = LIVE to all the controlled minds out there as Kabbalah is based on the Hebrew letters and coincidently there are 22 letters, which in turn represent the paths of the tree of life... Hence the tarot cards 22 major arcana.

He studdied his dreams his thoughts, learnt, drove himself crazy, got depressed lived in it accepting the relatives. As within = As without.

Space = external representation of our capabilities inside.

To travel outwards, you must go inwards... Why does it take science so long to start understanding relativity?

Cause their minds have been controlled too.

Any religion you conform to will generally have this effect, so answer is not to conform.

BE FREE.

BE YOURSELF.

JUST......

BE!

Guilt tripping rather than living is certainly not my philosophy.

To LIVE = EVIL so to hold on to a rock when the rock is in the river serves us no purpose at all.

LOVE AND LIGHT!

Why Not?

The point (& the fun) in life is to try to discover the point. Not too sure how I would know it, even if I did find it tho' !

When I lose something how come I always find it in the last place I look

Each post that I read written by Goddess just convinces me more and more that I love her words.

These are some stuff that came to my mind when I was reading the replies that my last post caused, hope they're useful to support Goddess, hope they're useful to the people who take time to read it, I believe we're being very honest here:

It doesn't matter how much "archaeology" (bible, etc.) you read or how much science you make. None of those are going to give you an absolute and ultimate thruth to you.
I believe it is as Goddess said, if they help you to understand a little bit more than you knew, that's ok, that's why people wrote it anyway.
It's nothing more than words and thoughts from someone who believed in himself, and that's why reading helps.
But that is not a power just a few have. Everyone has it. It is inside of you, dear reader, and all the people you know.

For example. Take a look at your hands. They can do lots of stuff, and so can the other's peoples hands. They're just an output terminal of your brain.

And a group of people once thought it would be a great idea to use them to destroy. To self-destruct. It was THEIR choice. ANd so they did, and so they took control of "the system".

The problem here, is that these individuals realized the immense power people have, not only in their hands. They feared. So they took their chance and designed a plan that would keep them safe. Simple. They would put people to sleep.
Manipulating, among other instruments, television, they managed to give dreams to the people. SO people had no need of dreaming anymore. Therefore, they would never fight for their dreams.

They also needed a "flawless" mechanism of control, so that nobody would ever "wake from the dream". They set stereotypes and some populist leaders and some other key pieces, to give people the illusion that thay are free.

You see, this mechanism *works*. Visit almost any "country", and you won't find humans. You'll find animals (cows, dogs rats...), all of them following false shepherds. It happens anywhere, and that's a thruth of the world, a sad thruth of course.

I must go now. Go help someone I love. We'll discuss later, feel free to comment on my post. Oh just one more thing before I go.

It is a great discovery for individuals when they realize they have hands, hands made to create, to mend, guided by a "heart" capable of forgiving, and not just anyone can do that.

Love one another!

(It's good) To be Free

Goddess - sorry, I was not my intention to "use this conversation to preach bible bashing crap"

The book that I referred to doesn't actually mention God (but it has been a while since I read it, so I could be wrong ) It is simply a discussion on the meaning of life, like I said it was.

something I hate more than people who think that religion is just "Guilt tripping rather than living" are double standards. It's not OK for me to make one small reference to religion in a post, but it's absolutely fine for you to spend your entire post bagging religion.

NOT COOL

Hello everyone

Can I remind you, this is a place where newbies come to find their way about hootoo. To find polite and helpful assistance in their first few hours

If you really would like to continue this discussion, perhaps it could be taken to the Community threads?

Would anyone like a cup of and some while they are here?
