The quest for truth and the meaning of life

number three: You have a part to play in this bigger picture.

Meaning to me, comes from accepting these three simple facts as a starting point, and then seeing that the picture is more complete, and colourful, when you see yourself, as a vital, and evolving part, of it all. Act, and play that part, filling your role, fulfilling your purpose, and so live your own individual truth, by being you, as you, in the whole, of the whole. The meaning of the whole, is only clear from finding your own meaning and role in this whole, otherwise you are lost down the hole of infinity of meaning, without finding any individual meaning at all.

When you are being the real you, I believe that you will not then need to be looking anymore, for any other meaning, but the real meaning will then live in you, and drive you along your own path, making it all a memorable journey for you. And on this journey, you will stop or slow down sometimes, to smell the roses, along the side of the path, and each facet, every experience, and all of your contained life, inside and outside of you, you will see then, all has its own unique, and individual meaning, and its own role to play, in this great human stage, and performance of the drama going on, in this play of our life, on the stage of God, and all his creation.

The idea is to strengthen yourself, by developing trust in your self, and so then being more completely your part in the whole.

And how do you develop this trust? Trust is what gives meaning to love, to life and to all else. Only by trusting your place in it all, will you trust your own meaning, as it comes forth from you. And you need to build on this, and trust it more, loving it, nurturing it, and developing it in you, and so at the end, you have grown into your meaning, and the your meaning has grown into you.

You can do this by seeing the three steps above, as part of your own truth, and knowing it to be true, and so trusting that you are playing your part in the whole, wholly. This is possible only by being you as you, and living your truth, as you know it really to be. Deep down, we all know our own truth, and we must live it to feel fulfilled, and happy, and to be a vehicle for the love, that you will give to the other parts, all other life, and other souls, and other meanings, and to yourself, by your connection to yourself, and to the whole.

Yes, a certain certainty comes from knowing, but the mind can never truly know. It can only reflect on the knowing of the heart. So in effect,
