When our body is not the be all and end all.

Lis­te­ned while wri­ting this post, try while rea­ding it :o)

This post is the twen­ty fourth in a series reflec­ting on the mea­ning of life and the impor­tance of this ques­tion. These posts should be read in the order they are publi­shed as, star­ting at the 6th for example, dear rea­der, will mean the whole thing makes no sense. Hap­py reading!

Wel­come to the spi­ri­tual world! Did you know that in the era of Sumer it was the cus­tom to gather toge­ther after work in pubs to eat and drink? What if I told you this was 4000 years ago?! This leads me to believe that our unders­tan­ding of the mea­ning of life has not evol­ved very much at all since then. The main dif­fe­rence bet­ween us and our ances­tors is the advan­ce­ments in tech­no­lo­gy that we have made, and the know­ledge we have attai­ned which makes us who we are.

It’s not dif­fi­cult to ima­gine that back then these people could be dis­cus­sing the same sorts of issues that preoc­cu­py us today- the latest news from one friend, the tale of another’s work­place acci­dent or even the wea­ther and the pre­ma­ture or delayed arri­val of the sea­sons. Per­haps they enter­tai­ned them­selves by chat­ting about music, and sin­ging songs or tel­ling stories. 

Retur­ning to our own era, we can see that the defi­ni­tion of the mea­ning of life has chan­ged very lit­tle since those days. We’ve agreed that we need not return to the dis­cus­sion on our phy­sio­lo­gi­cal needs and what gets us out of bed each mor­ning, and ins­tead we now focus on the ‘why?’

Until next time…
