For me the meaning of life (of humans) is to survive and seek as much pleasure as possible before your inevitable death...

i think a good personal goal/purpose would be to cause as much change or transformation in your environment as possible.

what i mean by that is try to make things that people will admire or that helps society and if you are lucky you might perhaps bend society or cultures into different directions and i think its neat when people have the greatness to bend history because its astonishing to know that if you weren't alive then humanity might be radically different and have gone into an alternate path.

and hopefully our consciousness/awareness will be recycled into nature as well. :smile: Awareness seems like something way too beautiful to waste or throw away :yesnod:

It might be a termination of THIS experience but i seriously doubt it is a termination of ALL experience.




Interesting. I mean for all we know, we could have existed with a consciousness and a memory as some other type of life on some other galaxy somewhere. Possible we could have been a human being on Earth before also isn't it.

So yeah it may not be the termination of ALL experience.

You could exist as some form of life without a memory or consciousness also, but then the value of your life's existence would be pretty low as it could be comparable to that of something inanimate like a rock or something.

I think that's why we should cherish our lives and our times here. The awareness, consciousness and ability to form memories throughout our lives is THE gift of what it means to be living right now. It's certain that when we die, these things will cease and it's certainly not known if we will ever get to experience it again.

EDIT: So really to conclude that is the "meaning" of life. In my opinion, it's wrong to assert life is without meaning because our consciousness, self-awareness and ability to form memories of the things that stimulate our consciousness is the meaning of the life given to us.

It's equally wrong in my opinion to say it's up to us to search for meaning in our lives. Usually when people say this, people allude to the idea of building a career or creating a family and using those as things to give our lives meaning and a sense of purpose. Whilst I agree it can help make us feel purposeful and important, it certainly isn't the meaning of our lives.

Every single one of us has this meaning, it's just a matter of being able to acknowledge it in the way that I've described.

This is the most valuable thing I have learned using Psychedelics. Mushrooms in particular.

My Psychedelic experiences:
LSD - 30+ times (2 hits min / max 3 hits) every time.
Shrooms - 4 times (2.5 - 3.5g)
DMT - 5 times (Powerful breakthrough only once)

Life can be one hell of a bitter pill to swallow so I chose acid instead -YeOlde

i appreciate your thoughts.

I personally look high and low for evidence of experience after physical death.

perhaps i have impermanence anxiety.

its funny when i was depressed and feeling hopeless the idea of existing after death would have been something unwanted for me because i felt distress with being conscious and wanted eternal sleep without experience.

Its only when i feel hopeful for my future and happy with things that i dont want my experience to ever end.

ahah its kind of funny when i think about it.

maybe all the people who are hoping that death is the end of all experience are actually just clinically depressed :lol:
