WHAT IS LIFE ABOUT… (PART 4)

Although most of us do not ask ourselves this question very often, it is an existential question that has probably surfaced a few times during our lives and, like most existential questions, we may have pondered upon it but not long or deep enough to come up with a real answer. Following is a simple guideline to use to find this elusive answer.

Life is about:

  • the pleasantness of your experiences. By pleasantness, I mean: Are you able to experience everything that is happening to you pleasantly or are you still caught in the dualistic world of positive and negative experiences?
  • the profoundness of your experiences. By profoundness, I mean: Are you still living to survive and accumulate (i.e., money, knowledge, power, fame, friendships, possessions, etc.) or are you seeking to transcend physicality and explore the full potentiality of this life?
  • the impact that you have in the world. And by impact, I mean: Are you still working for you and yours (you and your family, group, country, etc.) or are you working to make a difference in the world, on what is needed?

For most human beings, the quality of their lives is decided by what they do, but the quality of our lives should not be decided by what we do, but by who we are. If that is true, have you then pondered over who you are in reality?

We do not “accept” things as they are but want them to be as we want. Consciously, but most of the time unconsciously, we do not accept what is happening around us and want it to be the way we want. For instance, when we say or think: “it is raining again” or “it’s too hot”, we are not accepting unconsciously what it is but want the day to be a nice day, whatever a nice day means for you. We do the same with people, things, locations, etc.; and we do it all the time, for everything, and do not even realize we are doing it. This is why life is so hard.  Just for the simple fact that we are trying to control everything and we do not even know that we are doing it. What most of us do not realize is that everything we are experiencing is happening inside of us, and not outside. All the stimulus from our sensorial organs and ev...
