meaninglessness

Sometimes in life the relevance of meaning appears on the horizon of thought.
'What does it all mean?' has some relevance to some of us....

Once we make real the idea that what we think is a choice we 'realise' that meaninglessness has no relevance.

In other words when the mind is subdued through meditation, i.e, when there are no thoughts, meaninglessness is not and issue.
There is now just the gift of life, present moment awareness.

As far as I know the 'existentialists' were not given to practicing Yoga. Most of them painted themselves into a corner of misery and self defeat.
Some of them stated that it is all meaningless but 'we' as humans have to give it meaning.

What then?

Conditioned reality needs to be seen through. From that point there may be despair and grief at the existentialist dilemma. But then through the act of conscious effort we can move, using the Yogic techniques, into another realm of consciousness.

Then what?

You won't know the answer to that until you get there.
