It's not bad practical advice for a "meaning of life"-newbie, but it's a bit more to it than that. Read near-death experience (NDE) accounts and basically all you can about NDEs. Books, YouTube-videos, articles, everything. They will make you realize that there is an afterlife, that there is meaning to life, and that near-death experiencers (NDErs) say that the primary purpose here is to learn to love everyone and everything, no matter what. That it does not matter so much what kind of things we do, but whether we do them with no strings attached, and summon that kindness, love, and compassion on the inside of our own minds as we do it. So the meaning of life then, according to NDErs, is the small things. Whether it is helping someone with their homework, cooking dinner for our family, cleaning the bathroom, or picking up trash from the ground. Whatever it is, if we do it with love, then that is so huge on the other side, it is amazingly huge. So life is like a game where the goal is to summon as much kindness, love, compassion, and generosity as we possibly can squeeze out of our intentions. Which admittedly is definitely easier said than done!

And we should take NDErs seriously, because they are representative of the population as a whole, and convince everyone that there is an afterlife once they have a deep NDE themselves. Therefore, deep NDEs convince 100% of the population that there is an afterlife, and just like everyday life is more real than our dreams, so too do NDErs say that the NDE world was vastly more real - and self-evidently so - than everyday life: https://youtu.be/U00ibBGZp7o

Based NDE poster, my friend whose esoteric and spiritual views I really respect has gotten big into NDEs and everything you're saying is like what he says. Apparently it's a big gift but also a big responsibility and not guaranteed to be "fun" to be down here and participating in earthly life. The bad things we do really create a lot of damage, and it's not at all certain that the good will win in the long run.

NDEs don't mean anything objectively. It's just a flood of chemicals and hyper-connectivity in the brain, evolution's way of saying "oh shit" trying to slam the brakes.

Doesn't say anything about consciousness objectively. NDE patients also experienced different hallucinations depending on their cultural background, thus they saw whatever gods were meaningful to them
