What do you all think?
Is there a meaning to the whole human/life experience? or Is it just the probabilistic play out of interactions between molecules and elements, and there is no meaning behind it all, its just the result of probability.
You are here to download and process information from the other, and experience ecstasy in return. Basically, follow your heart (especially under the influence) and enjoy the result.
Each time you trip it should become clearer. If it isn't, ask your ego what its friggen problem is.
This is your universe. You're in control. Probability is created from YOUR consciousness. Each choice you make changes the entire course of your universe. Think about that. You are that powerful.

food for thought: i noticed someone say something of cycles and processes. this world is all linked togather. precise food chains and seasons of the year. math is perfectly related to nature. a clock is very precise and a clock maker would have to be very intelligent. is there a creator of thought? this world is to perfect for there not to be a creator- an intelligence behind it. everything in this world is at one extreme or the other OR some grey between. hot cold. happy sad. night day.ect. we are like rats born into a maze. in school what is multiple choice and has a time limet? a TEST.! before you do anything in life ,you know what is right or wrong or some grey between. life is a series of multiple choice problems with a time limet.. . i dont know about everyone else but- before i make a choice i get a feeling of what is wrong or right. i live my life simple- and try to listen to that feeling and step in that right direction so i get a good score on that test.if someone were to pinch me it would hurt, i know this so i dont pinch people. why would you make a robot that can move on its own, have a memory hard drive and a camera: if you didnt plan to view what was recorded in the end of the robots journey! life can be understood and simple. i have no religeon. but i do thank the creator for my life and the beautiful things in it.

i often think about these types of things. i break it down to emoations not language. i enjoy being happy. thus said: i seek it. positivness,love ect. i know the meaning of my life! i am preventing negative experiences, by steping in those correct directions. my life goes pretty smooth. i chase my dreams. i dodge negative people and surround myself with people who make me happy. i will die happy or i will die having never given up on happiness. listen close: can you hear it? "THIS IS YOUR FORCED LIFE!!"

ultimately liberation is the purpose of human existence
the fact that we have been asking for so long, 'who are we? what does it all mean?' means we are here to find out the answers...
dont get me wrong we're also here to be very ignroant aswell, evidently...

yeah if liberation was the purpose then death is liberation: sometimes i imagine gaining enlightenment, or realizing the secret and awakening into a true reality. this was all an illusion\dream\test.

I think the only answers are the ones that one comes up with through experience. I think life should be about positive experiences, thats all that matter imo.

the buddhist beleive that nothing in this world is positive or negative. the mind makes it so. ever notice how someone will get in a shitty mood on a rainy day and even talk about what a shitty day it is? someone else may strip off their cloths and dance in the rainn. all and all i seek what i perceive aspositive

I really like Buddist beliefs. It's so freeing and non-confining to me and relies on nothing but what is inside one's self, what Christianity misses. I just want to experience, right or wrong as to cultural and societal beliefs. Life really is short (a cliche) but it puts things in context compared to eternity. I don't have to play by societies rules unless it serves my purpose. I desire awareness that doesn't need meaning. I'm understanding the labels of mysticism and also of those who turn themselves over to serve others. I desire purity, free of illusions and falsehoods, dogma, etc., I want reality. People really are powerful and I think the time for people to continue to be manipulated and give away their power is ending. Self realiization is a precious thing and should be nutured. That's the construct I've given life and it's easy for me to forget at times and why I need tools to help me remember. But there are so many different ways/paths (another cliche) to "waking up" to oneself and all that is, I love the freedom in it.

another buddhist teaching: before anything happens in this world there was a thought of it. sow a thought>reep an action>sow an action>reep a habit>sow a habit>reep a character>sow a character>reep the destany of that character. - ive learned alot of buddhist teachings in this book:Inner Revolution by Robert Thurman. robert was the first white man ever to live with and study with the buddhist monks. He got direct teachings from the dalai lama.

That's interesting, I see no evidence of this, but maybe I've lived a lot longer than you
