1. What is the meaning of life?

Most of the world's population does not think about the meaning of life, but in vain - after all, this is what distinguishes a person from all other creatures. The lack of clarity in this matter and the presence of significant misconceptions lead to the loss of true guidelines, the departure of a person from the optimal path and, as a result, to the loss of interest in life, basic human qualities - and as a result, a short life with a lot of suffering.

... For the most part, people do not know the most important information in their lives – they do not know why they live!

The main concern for daily bread has led people to the fact that in their priorities material values are in the first place, and with them work. And how will you achieve well-being if you do not work hard?! Here the Holy Book also suggests: In the sweat of your brow you will earn your daily bread. Everything comes together - you need to work, not sparing your stomach ... So we worked from dawn to dusk. We don't need happiness – let's get a job!

This is how people who lost the meaning of life lived, with an inverted worldview, this is how a huge country lived, this is how our civilization still lives. And many live like this, not realizing that they are on this beautiful planet for another – joy, love and happiness.

There is a parable on this topic. God says to Christ:

- Two thousand years have passed since your visit to earth. I made the decision to go to it and see what was going on, what you had taught people.

So they went down to the planet and found themselves in a field where a peasant plows the land. Tired, sweaty, dirty... God asks Christ in surprise:

- What is he doing?

He plows, as You have punished, 'In the sweat of your brow you will earn your daily bread,' Jesus replies.

- So I'm kidding!

They go down to another place, to the maternity hospital. And there are screams, pain, blood... God was even more surprised:

- And where did we get to?

"Here women give birth in agony, as you said.

- So I'm kidding!

They land in the Vatican. They look, and there everyone is satisfied, well-fed, noble, they read books, they sing psalms ... God asks:

- Where are we?

Christ realized that the error came out with his Teaching, that people misinterpreted it, and answered:

"And we are in a place where people know you were joking.

In this parable there is a deep meaning about the essence of life itself. Many are interested in man taking seriously the words that he is a servant of God, that he must work hard to secure his life, that suffering is a necessary path of spiritual development, that sacrifice is the highest manifestation of love, that paradise is possible only in heaven and many others. Having lost the meaning of his life on Earth, man became in control of everyone – from God to the official.

Often the meaning of life is seen in its individual spheres: in work, in science, in art, in politics, in the family, in children, in the pursuit of spirituality, in the service of people, God ... But such meanings are a deep delusion that leads a person away from his true path. And the more he goes into these delusions, the more complicated the fate, the greater the suffering, the shorter the life. For example, a man who devotes himself entirely to work – it is his main meaning – loses his health, deprives his family of happiness; a mother whose meaning of life is children spoils the fate of herself and her children, and even the next generations.

The meaning of life cannot be identified with any purpose. After all, then, having achieved the goal, we would always lose the meaning of further existence. For example, for many, the meaning of life is work. Having lost it or having retired, a person was out of work, unnecessary, and then his degradation occurs, diseases are actively developing, and often premature death. According to statistics, in the first two years after retirement, about 60 percent of pensioners pass away. And this is primarily due to the lack of further meaning of life.

Not only the material, but also the spiritual goal, the most sublime, is not the true meaning. Many people, having made spiritual perfection the meaning of their lives, lose their health, live in poverty and in the suffering of the body. Most of the saints are great martyrs, that is, sufferers of the body. Was it worth coming to Earth from the spiritual realms in order to find grains of spirituality?

In my opinion, in the sense of life, there should be the fullness of a happy life. In this fullness, the harmonious presence of all its elements is necessary, in the center of which is the person himself, who creates love and happiness!

Here it is – the key to happiness. It is necessary not to wait for someone to give it, not to look for love, a man, a woman, a family, but to start with yourself: to become love, a woman, a man, to be ready for a family and be able to see happiness in every trifle of life. And then it will take place.

Man is not born to suffer, not to endure. Man is born for happiness! The source of joy and happiness is within us, it is always with us, which means that it can be used always! It all depends on the person himself. Becoming happy is a great meaning...

This is the first and main meaning of human life on Earth – to live happily on this planet and share happiness with the outside world. Then it will take place. As we think, so we live!

Утверждая осмысленность жизни, её ненапрасность и предпринимая шаги к её продлению, мы не только можем действительно продлить биологическую жизнь, но и в моральном плане предотвратить смерть. Поиск смысла жизни – это поистине поиск бессмертия! Это есть второй смысл жизни человека на Земле – жить вечно.

It is necessary to ask ourselves the question of eternal life, not burdened with the fear of death, when it is completely filled with self-realization and creativity; life seems to have no end. And therefore, you can implement any ideas and plans, you can not chase short-term benefits, trying to ensure an unknown future, which means that you can afford to act justly and morally. Truly moral acts are done in this way: in the face of eternity. Praise be to the people who dare to live as if they were immortal! The creation of Love, Goodness, Happiness and Gratitude to life itself is our path to eternal life.

Once upon a time on Earth, people lived forever, and this was their natural state. Then someone, showing free will, wanted to die and after long attempts achieved this. Then it became fashionable to die, and then it became habitual... And now death is already a necessity, and a large business of religions, various public and private structures is built on this, and in the Cosmos there are structures that collect energy after the death of a person, and all this happened because a person has lost the meaning of life.

For every person, life consists of many meanings, there is a so-called field of meanings, and the next meaning is to be a woman, to be a man. Have you ever seen a person? Take a closer look around you – I'm sure you've never seen a person in your life. You always only see a man or a woman! Man is an abstract being, but in reality he exists only in the form of a man or a woman. But we often forget that. For example, studies by American psychologists have shown that women remember that they are women, no more than 30 minutes a day. Agree, being only 30 minutes a day a woman, is it possible to build a happy life lasting 24 hours a day? And the men are not far from this figure. This is the result we have in life – less than 5 percent of truly happy people on earth. Look at yourself – how many minutes a day or a week do you really feel like a man and a woman? But this is one of the most important meanings of life.

If there is such an understanding of the meanings of life, then everything else is implemented easily and simply, as on a tablecloth – a self-made one.

2. What is happiness?

Happiness is deeply individual, but there are common criteria desirable to most. These are health, love, family, children, creative realization, good relations with relatives and friends, material well-being, peace on the planet. To this generally accepted list, I propose to add the constant development of the person himself and all the components of happiness! Then there will be no stagnation in happiness and there will be no black and white streaks in life.

Man is the only being on the planet that can self-develop and self-improve. Constant development in the entire sphere of life occurs with a creative approach to every moment of life. The task of man on Earth is to be a creator! And the creator cannot only be a contemplative. Without difficulty, no matter how much you pray or meditate, you will not catch a fish from the pond. The physical world requires the participation of the body. Consequently, constant creative work on oneself, on the surrounding World is an integral part of a person. To work creatively means to receive positive emotions from any activity, from your reflections (and this is also an activity) and to experience satisfaction and joy. With wisdom, any activity can become creative.

And wisdom is a mind filled with love. That is, the presence of high consciousness, deep love and an active life position allows you to manifest the essence of the creator in full.

A creative approach to every manifestation of life is an integral part of happiness. This creates the true joy of life.

3. How does a person realize himself in the surrounding World?

Look around you! In nature, everything lives – earth, water, plants, birds, animals... Man is surrounded by thousands of beings visible, but millions of times more than invisible ones: energies, natural spirits-beings, egregores, entities of other planes, the microcosm ... They are not visible to the ordinary eye, but really exist!

What stretches before man on the physical plane – mountains, forests, rivers, meadows – is only a visible part of the corresponding elements. This is a kind of visible part of the iceberg, and the invisible one is in other, so-called subtle planes, in other space-time dimensions. Faith in such a multifaceted World should be alive! Otherwise, nature will increasingly punish a person for his blindness with cataclysms, diseases, small and large troubles. The whole World around a person lives its own life, most of which a person does not see and usually does not feel. Very often, unconsciously, and even consciously, he violates the existing harmony, invades like an elephant into a china shop and, as a result, creates various problems for himself.

And this is all that exists on Earth, everything is designed for a healthy and happy life of a person! This is how the Earth should be understood and treated this way, and how to live.

Now many people visit holy places, or, as they are also called, places of power. Their holiness is determined not by the external attributes that are there, but by the impact they have on the life of the region and the entire planet. There are many such places on Earth. Only here most of them have lost their significance due to human ignorance.

These places are like energy centers in human bodies. From these points there is a strong influence on many processes on the planet and in the Cosmos. Therefore, it is so important to treat them with deep understanding. Being in such places, you need to bring there and give there the best that is in a person at the moment. Thus, man consciously participates in the creation of a happy life on Earth.

Few people realize this, and people go there with a desire to take something, to acquire: health, happiness, wealth, comfort, enlightenment, faith ... And they bring there their grief and suffering, their problems and delusions. As a result, many holy places have become dumps of garbage out of human problems and ignorance and are fading the entire planet.

And another important awareness of a person in the surrounding World. Everything is love and consciousness, therefore, with the help of a thought filled with love, you can successfully solve all the problems of life, including the issues of personal development.

In order for the action of thought to be most effective, it is necessary to realize as deeply as possible that everything in this World exists simultaneously. Both the past and the future are all here and now! And the more deeply you believe in it and know about the simultaneity of being, the more effective your interaction with the past will be, the happier your present will be, the longer your life will be in the future.

4. Is it necessary, living on Earth, to prepare oneself for future lives?

Future lives... What kind of life are they? This question is open to most people. My understanding and corresponding position are as follows. No need to think and even more so to prepare yourself for the next life. Why send the energies of today into an unknown future? It is necessary to use all the forces and time effectively to create a happy life here and now. This is the best thing you can come up with in order for the future life to be happy too.

The souls of people who somehow came into contact with each other in earthly life, after death, find themselves in the same space and continue to solve unfulfilled tasks. And it's harder to do that there. Therefore, it is important on Earth to establish all your relations, especially those connected by strong feelings, to get rid of mutual reproaches and claims. From here it becomes even more understandable the commandment Love your neighbor as yourself! This commandment can be explained as follows: to build respectful, kind, friendly and loving relations with each person you meet! That's how you have to go through life.

And now let's talk about those who have passed away. And in the meantime, many more will leave. The state of eternal life hardly makes its way through, just as death was also a rarity on Earth. Therefore, it is necessary to wisely see off the departed. You do not need to forget them, but you also do not need to give all your feelings and thoughts to the departed. To remember with love, to desire freedom and happiness. We very often tie the soul of a departed person to a particular religious egregore and thereby determine the further fate of this soul. Do we have the right to rape someone else's soul? Even God
