The quest for truth and the meaning of life

Meaning is a leaning towards love. That is all what meaning is, a feeling of love.

All other thoughts about meaning are only philosophising.

Meaning comes from meaning, and otherwise meaning doesn't really exist. And the meaning it is coming from only obtains its meaning from this feeling of love, that then leans you towards any real meaning that you will ever be satisfactorily satisfied by in your life.

This is a bold, and an all encompassing statement in itself. Does a blanket statement like this really help us to define meaning, or does it just really help to cover it all up, and so cloud the meaning, a little bit more?

What is this quest for truth, and what is the real meaning for life, of life itself, and of what is behind all life? Does meaning come from the actual quest, or does meaning exist somewhere else outside of all life independently sustaining itself somehow? And if this so, can meaning really ever be truly found, or understood, or located by someone, from inside of life? Unless they feel the meaning from life, from love, and not from only thinking about it.

Meaning itself, is always actually showing itself to you at all times, coming always towards you from itself.

You just have to reflect on it, to yourself, in yourself, instead of searching for it, all the time, outside of yourself. The search is only giving a meaning to the searching, but will never lead you to find any ultimate meaning for yourself.

This ultimate meaning, only ever resides inside yourself right now, and this inner meaning then only needs to be reflected to you, by you, from you, in some way, for you to be able to see it. The search can indeed sometimes act as the reflecting screen, and so can partially serve you, but when you keep searching endlessly, you never do stop long enough, to enable the crystal clear waters to settle, and so for you to be able see the perfect reflection properly, of your own meaning, and therefore of who you really are.

These waters are of the pool of love reflecting God to you, in your own heart. And when you look close enough, really closely, you will see the reflection is only of yourself, in God. Seeing this truth, gives a feeling of great meaning to yourself, as its means you are connected to the greater meaning coming from God. This greater meaning is no meaning. God is God, and is only love, without any other meaning. To give meaning to love takes away from that love. Love has no intrinsic meaning. Love is only love, and gives meaning to all that
