Finding the meaning of life

by Adekunle Adeyemo

Created on: May 26, 2009   Last Updated: May 28, 2009

Life is a complex synergy of sequential events, that is determined and predetermined by the past, present, and the future. As human beings, we know little or nothing about the forces behind the synergy of these events, but we need to know the laws behind good living, and bad living.

We have had prophets in the past and some are still forth coming in the future. They deliver the same messages in different ways. The truth is in our subconscious mind, where all knowledge resides.

The life giving process is engage in an interlocking chain of energy exchange, thereby creating a cyclical effect.

In any life giving process, there is the cyclical flow of energy and a lump or fixture of energy is created in any incomplete process. This fixture of energy is what we see as wars, conflicts, diseases est. until we neutralize this fixture, it will still exist in the cycle (virtuous cycle), and this would prevent a smooth and peaceful cyclical effect from taking place.

In some archaic cultures, when they notice this energy fixture, it was believed that the gods were angry. They looked for every possible means to appease the gods, some of them went to the extent of giving human sacrifices. All they wanted was to create a balance in the life giving process. They wanted to neutralize this energy fixture. Balance is of essence in any life giving process. It is this balance that produces orderliness in nature and the universe at large.

In everything we do, we should always strive for balance, don't eat too little and don't eat too much, don't cheat and don't be cheated, don't do too much of anything and don't do too little of everything. Don't acquire too much and don't acquire too little.

It is all about balance, obsession, extreme fanaticism, war est. all lies in the distortion of balance.

Every equation that makes up the stability of the universe is all balance. It is neither positively skewed nor negatively skewed, there is always a centre tendency this is the essence of orderliness.

All things here and beyond are bounded to this golden rule. We should always strive to achieve balance in all life given process that we engage in (i.e. every activity that we engage in, that as to do with relating with the environment or with our fellow human beings). That is the only way we can enjoy life to the fullest that is the design of the universe.

If we keep on upsetting this balance in nature, the lump or fixture of energy in the life giving process grows bigger, thereby making our flow in time more turbulent, which might end up in a self destruct system. Nature as a way of resetting itself, but we the homo-sapiens might end up being on the losing side, because of our disobedience of the golden rule and breaking of the law of balance. This is how God designed the Universe.
