Finding Meaning

The false reality that we create and continue to create is a reality made out of fear and ignorance. The antidote, the cure, for the false reality is indeed love and kindness.

Today we celebrate the 15,000 listen of our three-year-old podcast Finding Meaning. Today I un-pack how I came to understand the theory of Finding Meaning, and an explanation of what it means to find meaning.

Have you ever thought to yourself? Why do I think like I think? It's a good question. We talk about it in this episode.

One of the great mistakes we make because we're not self-aware is, we believe that we can fix things through our spirituality. That is not the way spirituality works. Authentic spirituality is about growth and that's a very individual thing. Thanks guys take a listen.

We spend a lot of time, thinking that spirituality is somehow chasing down ideas about who God may or may not be or which religions, right. Or, taking pieces of each religion and constructing our own. When, in fact, self discovery, and the expression of your truest self is what spirituality is.

When we come into this world, we are handed a playbook. It's got all the prescribed plays in it that people tell us we need in life. From religion, to politics, to how to live as a family, to how to think as a human. The problem is, these playbooks are wrong. When we begin to discover our authentic self, we begin to discover the true playbook of love.

Love, kindness and awareness, the three essential aspects of finding authentic self

People are seeking identity. That is another way of saying people are trying to find meaning. Take a listen. Thanks.

Self reflection is a vital part of authentic spirituality. Self-awareness is a vital part of authentic spirituality. It takes both of those things to be able to see where we have gone wrong. Take a lesson. Thanks.

Here is a short podcast from the ocean where we are on vacation. It is about being connected to all things.

I want to talk today about who Jesus is, and what faith is ultimately through the lands of finding meaning. Thanks for listening.

Today we look at the things that impede us from finding meaning

Peace in our life is not the absence of issues. Rather, it is a self understanding, and a gratitude that allows us to put the issues of life in a different perspective.

Do you feel as though there's something off in our world? I do! From our politics, to our lack of awareness. From our self-centeredness to our closed mindedness. I believe that there's a transformation on the horizon for all of us.

We live out of disappointment, we live out of unmet expectations. Some expectations are reasonable some are not. When we talk about disappointment, because our reasonable expectations are not met, we are talking about the matrix, the false reality, and Maya illusion.

We spend lifetimes searching externally. Through religious figures, cult, leaders, politicians, religious, icons, religious concepts, etc. etc., etc. When the truth is only found within you.

Truly, and authentic spiritual life has within it a simplicity that we often forget. Take a listen. Thanks.

In spirituality, we hear all kinds of metaphors, metaphors about rebirth, metaphors about shedding old skin. The reason we hear those metaphors is because who we are is a struggle. However, it is the good struggle.

When we are younger, we are totally can be anything followed very quickly with a list of things we should be. Doctor, lawyer, etc. etc. Really the goal of finding meaning in life is to be authentically who we are regardless of what that means in the world.

In the false reality, we believe that there is your truth, my truth, and the truth. Ultimately, there is only one truth.

Spirituality is not about what group or religion, you may belong to! It's not about having the proper belief system!in Finding Meaning. Spirituality is a re-learning who we are.

We live in a world that wants to tell us who we are. It gives us an identity through family through culture. And it keeps us from living our true self, which is only found in love.

We live in a world that is clueless, in essence, not self-aware. We work on our own self-awareness, not through belief, but through behavior. Behaviors like kindness they'd give us a clue.

Today we talked about the PPP again. However, we look at it from the reverse angle. Take a listen. Thanks.

A blinding flash of the obvious is when we see reality for what it really is. That is, a falsely constructed understanding of being human.
