just be yourself

You are a fractal of consciousness in God's mind and this world is his dream. One day you'll wake up and realize this and when you do, you'll stop coming back here. You'll die and dwell in the Infinite for eternity.

Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

“Meaning” is a feeling attached to individual things. “Life” can neither be meaningful or meaningless. Only particular things in life can be.

Why ?

Meaning has to be universal, absolute, otherwise it's not meaning.
As an example, lets say we all develop amnesia over night and decide to start writing down the number two with the symbol 3, the meaning of twoness hasn't changed, merely our way of symbolizing it.

So if I think it’s meaningful to raise my son just because he’s my particular son, that’s not “meaning” because not everyone would find it meaningful to raise my son?
> the meaning of twoness
You’re now using “meaning” as in the representandum of a sign, which is completely different from what OP was asking.

something like the end of evangelion

>So if I think it’s meaningful to raise my son just because he’s my particular son
I mean, you can think it meaningful or not, but that's not the type of meaning we're discussing here.

Twoness is not a sign.

Hey, that nigger figured shit out over 2400 years ago. You literally can't refute him.

>that's not the type of meaning we're discussing here.
There’s no reason to think that there any other kinds of meanings in life. Every time you’ve felt meaning, it’s always been attached to some particular thing or idea. And it’s can be attached to the most various ideas. One person can think it’s meaningful to follow le “god” or whatever while another might think it is meaningful to write posts about how life is meaningless. Why exactly should there be an “absolute” meaning when all these little meanings seem to suffice?
>Twoness is not a sign.
Yeah exactly, it’s the meaning of the sign “3” in your irrelevant hypothetical

>>22334806
>Yeah exactly, it’s the meaning of the sign “3” in your irrelevant hypothetical
Twoness has its own meaning, of which the sign 3 is a symbol of (in my highly relevant hypothetical).
>Why exactly should there be an “absolute” meaning when all these little meanings seem to suffice?
Because what you regard as meaning isn't actually meaning, it's just your biological impulses which are determined by brain chemistry and genetics.
There's a level beyond that however.

Prove it.

>>22334820
I did.
Twoness motherfucker.
>How does twoness relate to the meaning of life
Immaterial categories such as logic and mathematics exist, which have absolute meaning. Math and logic principles can't be invented, merely discovered.
All of this ultimately points to the unmoved mover, which would suggest that life itself has a purpose, and therefor has absolute, non-subjective meaning, as intended by God, the creator, unmoved mover or whichever term you prefer.
