As I think of how to put these ideas into words that are understood I know that words do not do justice to my meaning and intent, since each person has their own meaning and understanding of words. Everybody has made their way through life almost entirely on subconscious associations and internalized teachings based on their own observations of how to survive in the world. However since I have not had all of your experiences I cannot convey this message in a way that all who read it will understand and agree. Since it is our nature to look for fault and differences in people and their beliefs instead of wisdom and similarities.

We all start our lives with a set of blueprints that we call DNA, the instructions we are given are based on the combination of our parents life purpose and their beliefs. The debate has always been “Is it nature or nurture?”, but really it’s both, because we have free will. So despite being given a clear code and life purpose the people around us have a different purpose. So the environment we are put in shapes our subconscious associations just as much as our genetics.

The meaning of life is so simple I can sum it up in two words: To Evolve

Now the instant you heard my above statement in your mind you judged it. The judgment was based on your own beliefs and chosen affiliations. For none of us are completely open minded and we all put a different spin on those words.

For example If you are an Atheist and subscribes to the Darwinian belief on evolution you might say this is no surprise as life was just randomly created and nature will continue to evolve. You only read this post because you figured I am often funny and might have got a good jab in. Perhaps to you there is no meaning to life, but you figure while you are here you will still make the best of it and enjoy what life has to offer.

Now a Buddhist might tell me that the path to salvation is through ending suffering. They would probably say that all we need is within ourselves. If they are willing to bend their wording on Buddhahood they might see that one personally evolves until their fear and suffering is gone.

If you follow Wicca, you are used to people not understanding you. You live by a simple rule that says Do No Harm, and otherwise do as you will. You make magick and spend time focusing on your thoughts to try to help you improve your life and those around you using all the energies you perceive to exist. You see evidence for God all around you, and disbelieve in Darwinian evolution but you have an open mind and would listen to a new definition of evolution.

If you are labeled as a New Age person then your beliefs are extremely varied since you have observed life around you and seen value in many different philosophies. To my knowledge a large portion of the New Age movement believes in evolution, but calls it Ascension since we are all just energy trying to reach a higher state of consciousness.

If you are a Christian, you might have decided that evolution is blasphemy because God created us in his image and we do not evolve. We simply reproduce until death when god forgives our sins and sends the believers to Heaven. This may not be the case with all denominations of Christians, but our real problem is that a predefined denomination means that we chose to let other people interpret our beliefs for us by their understanding of a book that has been changed and translated many times since it’s initial writing. These are very good meaning people, who want to save us all but they live in constant fear of a vengeful god. For when Jesus walked on water he said that everybody could do it if they just believed and then Paul started to walk on the water, but he got scared and he fell in. Fear protects us, but also prevents us from evolving.

Now I have of course just generalized and in doing so will surely get many people telling me I have misinterpreted their beliefs. So instead of more examples I will instead define my beliefs, since this is the viewpoint from which I write. I believe in god, but I define god as the universe and energy that surrounds me and connects me to all things. The world I live in is very gray. To me reality is almost totally subjective and we all live in our own little world, which we have created with our thoughts and perspective. I see that just because one person’s reality doesn’t mesh with my own, it may be exactly what they need to believe in to accomplish their own life’s purpose. I do feel that there is some real objective reality however my eyes cannot perceive it because it exists in a higher dimension.

As a human we see ourselves as individual entities but anybody with a microscope can tell you that our bodies are made up of the same elements that are seen everywhere in nature and that there are living creatures inside of us. In fact there are nearly 50 trillion living creatures that make up a human being and each one works just like we do. It lives in an environment made up of the same elements as our environment, and each cell sends signals out into it’s universe asking for what it needs.

If we pollute our bodies with “toxic waste” like pharmaceutical drugs and heavily processed foods we start to get sick, and then we pollute ourselves some more to suppress the sickness. By this time the environment inside our bodies has become disgusting and our cells are no longer able to send correct signals. This doesn’t stop the cells from replicating though so now instead of giving birth to new healthy cells, they give birth to little mutations that will be able to survive in this new toxic environment. These “bigger, stronger, faster” cells start converting the rest of the cells so that they too can survive in toxic waste world, because the body thinks that’s what it needs because nobody is telling those cells any differently. What we need is a housekeeper to come and clean out the waste product so that we are free to send good signals out again.

The reason doctors have a hard time making a pill that will cure cancer is because any cell can get pissed off at the world it lives in and decide to create garbage but this is self-evolved garbage, so our pills targeted pills don’t understand it. In the same way that this happens we can cure all of our problems and diseases simply by cleaning up our own environment. This applies not just to the quality of food we eat, but the environment we live in, the stimulus we give ourselves and the thoughts that we think (Placebo is proven to work better than all drugs when properly administered).

Bruce Lipton, Ph.D writes: This new perspective of human biology does not view the body as just a mechanical device, but rather incorporates the role of a mind and spirit. This breakthrough in biology is fundamental in all healing for it recognizes that when we change our perception or beliefs we send totally different messages to our cells and reprogram their expression. The new-biology reveals why people can have spontaneous remissions or recover from injuries deemed to be permanent disabilities.

The functional units of life are the individual cells that comprise our bodies. Though every cell is innately intelligent and can survive on its own when removed from the body, in the body, each cell forgoes its individuality and becomes a member of a multicellular community. The body really represents the cooperative effort of a community of perhaps fifty trillion single cells. By definition, a community is an organization of individuals committed to supporting a shared vision. Consequently, while every cell is a free-living entity, the body’s community accommodates the wishes and intents of its ‘central voice,’ a character we perceive as the mind and spirit.

You should know that “The Secret” is real and so is the placebo. If you wish to find value in life, then you need only to look for it. If you wish to just see misery and corruption in the world then you will find it. Do not try to solve all the problems of the world but rather be grateful that you live in a magical world filled with so many things to do and learn. Spend your time as best as you can trying to focus on good things. You optimism will not only improve your life but it will infect all those around you to some degree and they will in turn infect other people. This group of people you have infected are how evolution works, because we evolve the fastest when we are working together with others of a common goal.

Saying that evolution is the meaning of life does not mean that is your purpose in life. For a cell in my ear that makes earwax has a different purpose than a cell that produces urine. It would be a sad day if one day they decided to produce the opposite without moving places in the body. Yet each one of those cells was formed from from the exact same chemicals and protons. Each cell was born and figured out what it needed to do, and if it decided to do something else with life another cell was born that would take it’s place if the body still had need for those cells. Such is your purpose in life. Do not be hung up by the beliefs of the people around you because their beliefs got them to where they are, not to where you are and they will never understand the universe quite as you do.

The earth is just an organ in the great body that is our universe. There is an abundance of energy and resources that we need to live so there is no reason to live in fear. If you live for the moment and something bad happens, you can just deal with it when it happens. If you spend your time worrying and dwelling you are giving power to the things that you fear.

So live well and continue to find and create new things and ideas so that the our universe and our thoughts continues to evolve.
