• Has life got you down and now you want to get back
up again?
• Is your life painful and apparently meaningless?
• Do you feel stuck in joyless, repetitious, grey drabness?
• Have you achieved much, but now you long for more?
• Or do you just want to know the answer the really BIG
question:
… What is the meaning of
life?
Either way, I've got good news: I will tell you what the
meaning of life is and when I tell you this (and a bit more) you
have an excellent chance of using the info to improve your life.
Who am I to Talk?
Here I am, talking about a philosophical question that is one of
the all time biggies. Is it really possible that a guy like me
can possibly know anything about that?
My answer is: Yes, I do, because I have experienced the meaning
of life, and you can, too. That's the whole point.
When you experience something for yourself, firsthand, the
experience in itself is proof enough. You don't need
philosophers, religious interpreters or any other kind of
authority figure to tell you anything. You KNOW.
But a little bit of knowledge and intellectual understanding
will make things a lot easier, and so I am going to give you
that, first.
Now, when you are searching for the meaning of life, there are
basically two different directions you may be coming from. One
is pleasant ('There must be more!' or: 'It has to make sense!')
and the other is unpleasant (depression and meaninglessness).
Depending on which of the two directions you are coming from,
your needs are a bit different.
Starting From Depression
If you are searching for meaning while coming from a
not-very-nice place in your life, characterized by depression
and meaninglessness, then you need to know this:
You are NOT alone and what you are experiencing is NOT
permanent.
Your experience can change, you can change it. Even if it is
just by taking one tiny step at a time.

Starting From a Nice Place
Has your quest for the meaning of life started from a positive
position?
Perhaps you have gotten far, you have had fun, you have had
success, and you have felt … if not happy then pleased and
content. BUT now that's just not enough anymore.
You want more. You want it to come together somehow, to make
sense. 'There must be more', you think.
And so there is.
Or perhaps you are interested in philosophy. If so, then the
meaning of life is probably high on your list of questions
looking for an answer. Most likely the same applies if you are
interested in spirituality, self improvement and personal
development.
Well, in any case you need look no further … just read 'What
Is the Meaning of Life?' [LINK upcoming]
How to Experience the Meaning of Life
Maybe you just want to experience meaning for yourself. You can
do that.
You are probably not going to find it easy to do, though. Why?
Because it seems to contradict an awful lot of the things that
you have been taught – and a lot of deeply ingrained habits that
you have had for most of your life.
But you CAN do it; you CAN experience the meaning of life.
I do recommend that you read 'What Is the Meaning of Life?'
[LINK upcoming] first, though. That article will also show you
that in fact, you have already done it. You just didn't
recognize it for what it was.
When you have read that article, then you can go on by reading
'How to Experience the Meaning of Life' [LINK upcoming]. If fact
I recommend that you do.
