Meaning and Spirituality
Meaning and Spirituality The search for meaning can be described as a projection of order upon an existence which is often perceived as in a state of perpetual chaos. Meaning may also be said to be the attempt to find value in experiences. Quite often, the search for meaning in this life is focused outside of ourselves. We search for meaning in events beyond the scope of our own experiences. While we can empathize with others and their experiences, and while we can even abstractedly visualize events occurring backward and forward in time, true comprehension, meaning and spiritual fulfillment can only ever be found by valuing our own individual experiences. The need to find value and meaning in existence leads to the many questions often asked by metaphysicians and those attempted to be answered with religious beliefs. Why am I here? Where do I come from? What is the purpose of life? Is there life beyond death? What is the nature of the universe? These and many other similar questions lie within the realm of the unknowable. We become so enthralled with the mysterious aspects of life that we often forget the obvious truths set right before our eyes. What good does it do to worry over the unknowable? The meaning of life is the value given to individual experiences. Life itself is its own meaning. Yet the spiritual mind seeks answers. It must find a frame of reference. Order must be given to the universe. It seeks to learn its proper place and function within the vast machine which is nature. With these needs left unfulfilled, all appears to be chaos and random events. Life becomes savage, brutal and meaningless. The need to bring meaning to life transcends religious, spiritual or scientific agendas, indeed it is this very desire to fend off the notion of a chaotic universe which is at the root of humanity and the higher self.
