Meaning |
|
In the absence of everything, when all was nothing, and from the
utterlessness, the "tension" of this emptiness convulsed/repelled
meaning. Meaning matured and bore the
Logos as purpose took form.
Sacros was shorn, a future born. In this way, what had not been,
became.
The Logos is always, without dimension or energy, and is awareness. It
bestowed the discipline of time upon all else that was meaningless to
itself so that at the beginning there would be action — that which makes
sense out of meaning. This true to this day. In this way, the cosmos
came into existence and is the realm of all that can be known to
humans through thought, deed and experience. |
|
|
Meaning therefore is the reason, the womb, of existence, and life is a
quality of which we are each an experience. Reality is life's shelter. Sacros is a property that consists of goodness information.
|
|
|
The Logos does not attend what humans think, and humans can
never fully comprehend the Logos. The Logos can retract time once
again but at great sacrifice and horrific loss. May this never happen.
|
|
|
Sacros is of one kind and without counterpart. It has an only value of
goodness and is a force that may influence randomness in support of
life. Sacros is throughout the cosmos. The cosmos itself is sparsely influenced by the Logos. Where matter exists in
suitable conditions, the Logos may envelope chance with sacros in
order that life may be conceived. Thus life can be set in motion as
violent chaos cools into benign randomness which eventually
manifests order, a prerequisite of life and its ongoing evolution. Life
has the capacity to cultivate goodness and generate sacros. May the
purpose of life be revealed.
|
|
|
As life came into existence, its spirit force, zoeros, was ordained by the
Logos and has been sustained since then. Zoeros and evolution are
interdependent. As life evolved, the Logos and the cosmos became
interdependent though they remain separate. Life is an attractive force
between all of these. The natural world, nature, nurtures its own
interests and some of its species are able to contribute sacros.
|
|
|
Life is a precursor of free will. The human species is a maturing fruit of
life. An attribute of humans is their free will which is essential to the
generation of true goodness. Good action can produce sacros.
Altruism is a clear example of good action and an affirmation of
empathy in the broadest sense. Thus, the purpose of life, and
particularly that of humans, may be observed and their meaning
therein discerned in the interplay of emotion and intellect — the
wellspring of human goodness. The alignment of empathy (high
emotion) and thought (what to do and how to do it) is the impetus of
goodness. Free will guarantees its genuineness. Willpower aligns
empathy (the way) with thought (the vehicle) and stirs them into action.
The informational property of this process is sacros if the physical
action delivers goodness. In this way, meaning can be fulfilled and
sacros becomes. Sacros honours the Logos and sustains zoeros. May
good actions be given in thanks for life.
|
|
|
Truth and honesty are the purest paths to goodness and science is an
important tool in the pursuit of truth. The ability of humans to generate
and utilize information to improve knowledgeable good actions can
expand the production of sacros. But, beneficial actions that produce
good results do not contribute sacros if devoid of empathy. Other good
actions are based in the desire to do or cause what contributes to
wellness or kindness. These are such as caring or self‑realization or causing contentment,
agreeableness, peacefulness, happiness or well‑being. This does not
mean doing only what feels good, tastes good, looks good, smells
good or sounds good for these goods are consumed by the self. Goodness is
not enjoying the senses though these pleasures are a birthright of the
self and deserved. Thanks be given for these earthbound treasures.
A basic attribute of humans is the ability to do good and feel happiness
in the process. Let this be the measure and never confuse this kind of
happiness with pleasure.
|
|
|
The absence of empathy can permit the vacuum wherein badness can
prosper.
|
|
|
Through the practice of meditative prayer, sacros can be focused on
another being to its benefit provided it is receptive. Zoeros makes this
possible. Only the Logos, however, can influence what is inanimate.
Praying for wealth or to change the weather or to any object is useless.
Furthermore, the Logos does not receive prayers. Those who attempt
to use prayer in these ways are misinformed or have misunderstood.
|
|
|
Once life happens, the Logos, though aware of life's struggle, is
disassociated with the lives of its members who live as individuals of
their kind. Over time, life may mature (evolve) such that some species
can manifest zoeros as their spirituality. The first instance of this
became the “blessed moment” in the evolution of humans.
|
|
|
Humans can witness zoeros in the midst of life’s abundance or in the
solitude of the desert wherein they can focus on their connection
thereto. Both of these paths offer a place of rest when the self is at
once in the abandon of unabashed surrender. Yet, for many,
interference abounds and that of misleading appeal dulls their
connection, too busy are they. Above all else, the connection to their
birthplace of the forest is foremost. Actions taken out of respect for
the birthplace are important, good actions.
|
|
|
Humans are very complex orchestrations of matter that can become
aware of what of theirself is much more than living as a response to that which they can
experience outwardly. Much of their “reality” is a virtual composite of
complex physical and mental phenomenon. Knowing is the sum of
these phenomenal interactions that can learn how to find zoeros and glimpse
the Logos. For the mind of humans has so evolved that it can behold
the spirit force and witness the sublime serenity of the Logos. Other
animals that possess thought, willpower and empathy also can
contribute sacros. Though their minds may not be able to manifest
spirit, or they may not be able to discern spirit, they do know what is
good for one another and they are able to practice caring.
|
|
|
One of the ways the self thinks and learns is through the imprint of its
thoughts and ideas about all that it has experienced or contemplated.
It refers to and can recombine all, much, or some of these imprints to
produce new ideas. At moments of inspiration, when the mind and
brain agree, chemically, a new idea becomes imprinted if it aligns
neatly enough with the previous imprints utilized in its synthesis. This
process helps a new idea achieve recognition by the self. Different
people have different thresholds of impedence to imprinting. Different
people decide to engage in thinking, or are capable of imprinting, to
different extents. Many people limit themselves and their thinking by
thinking only in response to external influences.
|
|
|
Volition gets the process started. This manner of thinking is a routine
process that can be affected by so many factors experienced by the
self on a daily basis.
|
|
|
Other thoughts, non‑mental unthought truths, arrive as thoughts that
can be imprinted during times of revelation if encouraged and not
denied. A disciplined, simplified self and emotional well‑being are key to
their import. Access to zoeros makes this possible, sacros is the source of
influence, empathy guides the way. These truths abound in the
profoundness of meaning wherein life is an interpretation. Each who
discover these truths find deep satisfaction, balance and salvation in
their meanings.
|
|
|
Awareness of zoeros is achieved by simplifying the self. Discontinue
using language while thinking, leave aside memories and experiences,
abandon desires, quiet the emotions and be in a serene and secure
place where all the senses are comfortable and unable to provoke
anxieties. Do this while in the practice of meditation such that you can
uncover the self that was conceived after conception and established prior
to being coloured by you. This is the self acknowledgeable to zoeros.
While in the midst of zoeros, this simplified self can be the import of
truth through revelation or it can simply find refuge and rest in the
embrace of pure love. So delicate is the tenuous connection between
knowledge available to the simplified self and its import unto your self
that only practice can transform faith into assurance. At first, your
quest may be augmented by the presence of an abundance of life thereafter
to become known to you while alone in a vast expanse. A
forest often offers the knowledge of pure love whereas an arid plateau can
emphasise truths. The arrival of ocean waves upon the beach can inspire virtue anointed with humility.
|
|
|
Once you are able to distinguish between the simplified self and what grew
into the person of your self, it becomes evident that who you are exists only in the
context of life, and your life in particular. In fact, the simplified self
of no memories, experiences, nor language to communicate, of minimal
sensory perceptions and profound empathy may be unrecognizable to you. Be
thankful if the hard work of making you who you are realises its value in
caring, kindness, compassion and teaching the discoveries you have made
of truths you have learned along the way. Your rewards will be many in
the company of others who share in the success of having achieved this
same value. To subvert this value is to engage in either frivolousness or
worse to suffer the pangs of irrelevance or even worse to live in the
futility of meaninglessness due to a lifestyle of bad actions that negate
goodness, such are those who are unlikely to know humanness despite their
bodily form. May forgiveness release burdens that they may not know they
bear, and may they embark upon a new beginning of their humanity. |
|
|
Thanks be to life for you and when life leaves and who you are falls away,
it is the simplified self, the self indistinguishable from the simple
selves of other lives, that
re‑recognizes its union within zoeros
uncluttered by you. Though your simple self perishes with you, it could realise its nature as one and the same without you and "be there" where you cannot. Upon death's horizon may you forget to die. Let this be your self's solace, if any is needed.

Spirit is not a supernatural extension of the self, it is instead
accessible to each person. Due to the fear of death, the self wishes
spirit were somehow a continuation of the self and in desperation
insists upon this fiction. At death, there is no individual spirit or soul
that is released or that later can be retrieved because spirit always
was/is simply a dimension of zoeros and has never been apart from
it, never belonging to the particular member of life in which it can be
manifested and cultured. An individual has no lingering essence, no
surviving consciousness. That being becomes no more and thus
irretrievable. Humans are therefore, at death, finished in every
respect. Spirit is not a part of us though it is there to be shared among
us through which to facilitate our understanding of universal
knowledge and timelessness.
|
|
|
Access to spirit is as dependent upon our mind as our mind is upon
our body. Good actions improve the health of our mind, and of our body,
and are therefore essential to manifesting spirit. As you proceed down
the path of liberation from your self and moderate the self’s interests
you will discover that "no more me" doesn’t matter anymore because it is
how virtuous a life you have led that matters most of all. The self’s
exploitive survival instinct forces one to think of and treat other
life as separate from one’s own life. This rationalization yet
deception is what we are accustomed to believe yet must overcome
for death is merely a reflection of conception before and after which
is the life wherein we live. Though we are separate individuals, we are
fused in life. Our joy, our worship, is in the union with all of
life that surrounds us. Life continues after us just as it had
within and throughout us. This explains how and why we continue to
be though as an individual we do not.

The purpose of the body is to support the brain and reproduction. The
purpose of the brain is to house the self and the mind. The reservoir of
the self (make the most of me) is sexual desire (continue me). The
story of evolution unfolds again with the birth of each new mind that
can manifest spirit. Though involved with the mind, the desires of the
self are necessary to our health and welfare, and as confounding,
pleasurable, and necessary as they may be to be enjoyed, they are
nonetheless baggage we must manage or even discipline until such
time, if helpful, they can be set aside. They, however, are allowed by
many to entirely consume their lives keeping them from attaining the
knowledge of a completely fulfilled life by the age of their death. We
can’t deny that with which we have evolved, it is our mother’s home to
which we must return until its comfort we need no more. A mind once
isolated from the complicating factors of the self and its desire can
find spirituality even if only on a temporary basis.

Suppose it is too much bother to do good. Instead, one simply does
not engage what is bad. All actions are within the law. Contentment
abounds in the senses. Success is had, riches are many, “life is good”.
Is that not enough of a measure of a life well led? Yes, though a life
well led for the self. But, not enough for those who search for meaning
and purpose in their lives. For in the absence of this quest, a person
may never move beyond the obvious self and never know the fullness of life
or its exalted basis. Emptiness may visit their bedside and
wreck havoc upon their fictions someday. When this visit arrives too
late in life then death lies in turmoil and regret shall accompany their
final moments. No one should have to suffer this fate. Know that it is in
this quest for meaning that we are created in the image of the Logos.

Humans experience a sense of loss at the passing of a loved one, a
pet, or even at the loss of things. That sense of loss stems from an
attachment made by the self out of desire. Release from the hold/grip
of these attachments must be done respectfully for it is a human’s first
and natural desire to want them, enjoy them, and to love others. Many
of these attachments of youth are right and necessary during
maturation. Later in our lives we can understand and accept what is
still greater and apart from these. A life of virtue, well lived in youth
and while aging, for the cultivation of goodness, is supreme. Any
attachment that interferes with the pursuit of virtue must be among the
first to be given up for a self less its attachments is no longer
possessed. May we revel in our individuality and relationships yet learn
to enjoy the emotional fulfillment and security the rest of nature offers
us. Though still we may be dependent on other humans as the main
support of our well‑being, may our empathy, as thus extended to the
whole of nature, arouse vast vistas of vital sensitivities to guide the
self's integrity spontaneously. In this way goodness shall flow
and prevail in all matters of human influence thereby serving as a
catalyst for right action in human society.

If, while in the fullness of life, a person decides to transcend the
threshold of being and dissolve/merge into zoeros, there is bliss for a
fleeting moment in eternity while the will to live is extinguished and the
being dies. This then the final action taken by a few. Both selfless in
pursuit and selfish from the perspective of loved ones. Irresistible yet
usually irresponsible and requiring great care. There is, however, no
compelling reason to do this other than to know pure love prematurely.
A pure love that is the sensuousless love of zoeros, a love of pure
contentment and clarity.
|
|
|
Those who die prematurely, in violent death, are as unripened fruit
knocked from a tree during a storm and their loss is truly grievous for
they are no more in every respect though we are grateful for what
good they may have brought to us while alive. The recognition of this
fact alone should be enough to end all wars and violence forevermore
for such a death is the greatest harm one can cause oneself or
another being that is capable of spirit communion. Death by accident
or suicide is equally as grievous. But those who give up their lives to
save or absolve the lives of others, in those rare instances as the
situation demands, demonstrate at once both an extreme of
selflessness and absolute caring, that they shall be enshrined in the
living memory as agents of sacros and examples to all. May we find
ways to minimize or eliminate as much as possible the loss of such
exemplary lives among us in order that we may learn from the living
instead.

As the body grows old, spirituality is evermore available to us even if
shrouded in all the wonderment of youth. There is opportunity to
dissolve into the spirit force resplendent in the goodness of
sacros. We have only to decide to prepare ourselves. Otherwise,
zoeros shall have no use or purpose at our death. There is nothing
wrong with this except that one will not have availed the self of life’s
mercy and the comfort afforded to it in the final moments.

There is no evil force but only the free will or defective compulsion
(bodily or mental imbalance) to do evil acts. Evil, therefore, is
temporal and can never challenge sacros though it may deny
goodness. Badness is a waste of free will in the absence of empathy, it
pollutes the mind and cripples access to spirituality. Where goodness
is denied or suppressed, happiness and wellness are replaced by
anguish and misery.
|
|
|
Both badness and goodness precipitate actions that affect others
which actions may be reciprocated and so on, but badness is a
downward spiral of pressures and stresses upon life subsequent
to its conception. Badness is hurtful and in one way or another
gravitates toward a finite end of death. Goodness is an upward spiral of
all that promotes life and is as infinite as life itself. It is in this
momentum of goodness where sacros is made because the good information
that resonates upon the delivery of actionable goodness is the property
that is sacros.
|
|
|
Goodness underlies human life as a
fundamental and assertive quality though it can be repressed by
badness. The coexistence of good action and bad action within the
same person produces turmoil and strife until such time as badness
is resolved. In order to stop the anguish caused by the struggle
between these two, badness must be made less or eliminated.
Resolution is not achieved by simply overwhelming badness with
goodness. Resolution is achieved by accepting personal responsibility
for wrong doing and forgiving oneself or seeking forgiveness,
thereafter making amends.
To those scarred by bad action, may your tears cleanse deep hurt or
inconsolable grief such that, with the help of time, peace and
tranquility may reign. Cry and weep to the depths of your
affliction that you may heal wounds even justice has
abandoned in this imperfect world made better
by forgiving others whether unto yourself or unto another.
Thereafter, for you, a newfound strength born of conviction shall clarify the just way of
good action wherein right action shall prevail upon a new day.

Meaning cultivates truth. Faith based beliefs are deeply meaningful to the followers of religions and as such are truths to the extent that such beliefs are not invalidated by scientific truth. Religions and civilisations are among the most notable achievements humans have realised as fruits of goodness. Their stability, their sustainability, however, is entirely dependent upon their maintenance and growth through goodness. It is a purpose of religion to give guidance and show the way of
greater goodness untethered by the desires of the self. Religions
attuned to the cultures of people around the world offer meaningful
guidance in the study and promotion of goodness. But, as modern
times bring new science and technologies to bear, religions too must
evolve and keep pace with changing times. Some religions teach that
an accounting is kept of bad deeds, e.g., sin or bad karma, which
must be atoned for. Justice, within one’s lifetime, is the best
caretaker of goodness when properly implemented in human society.
Good governance is a birthright and duty of humans. It is the best
way to reign in hate, selfishness and irresponsibility. Humans
are fully responsible for how they live their lives. Humans are
fully responsible for balancing their impact on earth. Good
governance must include representation of the environment. Contrary
to the meaning of life and human goodwill, humans have abused
and exploited the natural order and given nature no vote in their
manner of governance. May this grievance be remedied. see Zoecracy.
