There is nothing that can be figured out and one can then lie back on their laurels and say "there I have it all figured out, just do this." No. There is nothing like that that exists. Yet we're all seeking it. Even this writer, as I too am a human trying to be. So don't believe what I say. Like Krishnamurti repeatedly espoused during his life, go find out for yourself and you'll KNOW.

We're all looking for that magical potion to drink, or experience, or obtain, or own, that brings lasting satisfaction and contentment though some doing and some action that we're to undertake.

But you know that it's not there. It doesn't exist. Down deep you really know, even though you probably don't want to admit to yourself because of what that'll bring on during your days, and nights.

It's nowhere to be found on this physical plane we occupy.

There is nothing to find. That's the simple brutal truth of the matter.

There is nowhere to go.

There is nothing to do.

There is only something to see that will get you to the place that drives you to continue to get up each morning.

There is not something to understand.

There is not something that needs to be done.

There is only the knowing that life doesn't have any sense to it. It just makes sense as life unto itself.

Life, oneness, doesn't strive for meaning. But we strive to put the meaning into our life. That is where we go wrong.

We don't accept what is. We don't accept what is happening to us and around us and by us, so we live in a constant state of dissatisfaction and discontentment with what actually is.

But the is-ness of our life is what we have done to individually create it. It is what we make of our days and nothing more, nothing less. That is where we happen to go wrong with our living.

We exist. Period. Nothing more, nothing less.

We exist to exist yet we want to find something that has meaning throughout our days of existence. Even if that something means doing something like helping other people. Please...

We can't even help ourselves to live a life full of meaning. How can one help others when one can't help oneself find lasting meaning?

There is no meaning to life. There is nothing that makes sense. But we strive to find that thing that we have convinced ourselves exists just beyond our reach.

But we never reach it because it is unreachable through doing: it is only reachable by being at oneness with Life. Therein is the meaning. Therein is the meaning through the doing no matter what that doing is.

I know this probably doesn't make sense and may even provide you with more doubt and confusion than it answers anything. But, if so, that shows how much you are wrapped up still in your doing -- so consider that a blessing to know.

Also, this writing is not meant to have one think "life has no meaning so I have to find the nearest cliff or bridge to jump off of." No.

It's about sharing a conscious knowing. Not a belief. Not a mental decision. Not a doing. Not even a 'getting it' or an understanding.

It's not about letting go of anything. It's about knowing, inside, in your heart, that the meaning is just there when the striving for meaning is let go.

We put the layer of meaning onto an activity, every activity, and then that activity is what provides meaning to our life, to our existence. No.

Again, that is where we go wrong. We make the activity the creator of our meaning instead of understanding with conscious knowing that the meaninglessness of existence brings meaning into every activity.

Just be.

Be with what is in your life right now.

Be with what is when you are doing what you are doing during your days, even when you are reading these words. That is the meaning you strive for right now. Then the next thing you do is there to give you more meaning and to make your life make sense.

There is nothing to know.

There is nothing special to do.

There is nothing.

Period.

There just 'is.'

Meaning -- look for it and you'll never find it. But, find meaning in meaninglessness and you'll know the meaning of life, and living.

Promise. Cross my heart and hope to live.

You too?
