Janthopoyism: Scripture: What is the Meaning of Life?

What is the Meaning of Life?

Book 2: The Internal Universe | Chapter 2.3 | 26 August 2020

As discussed in the first book of Janthopoyism, there are two questions often confused as one: the purpose of life, and the meaning of life.

The purpose of life/Life is the same for every living being. It is for us to assist the process of evolution by surviving as long as we can while reproducing to continue the species.

The meaning is more personal. It is quite literally what gives your specific life meaning in a way that is different to anyone else's meaning. It is how you contribute to the universal evolution by very design. It is comparable to the concept of a "destiny", for lack of a better term. And it is what you'll hear us interchangeably referring to as your True Path.

We've been banging on about this from the beginning. There is a portion of the Universal Energy inside of you, and with every moment you are alive, it informs you what your meaning is. And it does so through your emotions.

Emotions work on the same principles as physical sensations. If you shove your hand in a fire, what happens? It hurts. Why? Because the action is bad for you. If someone massages your aching shoulder, what happens? It encourages relief. Why? Because the action is good for you.

Similarly, negative emotions let you know that something is wrong, a warning that you are moving away from your Internal Universe. Conversely, positive emotions indicate closer proximity to your mission. You must note these and follow them. It takes a small amount of practice, but you can quickly develop awareness for what is buzzing happiness within your Internal Universe or True Self or "inner-God".

The Ancient Greeks always taught this. The word "enthusiasm" comes from the Greek "entheos" which means the God within or to be possessed by God, while Neoplatonism emphasises that it's only the absence of goodness that feels bad. And over the ocean to Japan, the Tenrikyo religion states that God created humans purely to enjoy watching us live the "Joyous Life."

There is a spirit inside of you, the True You, who is recording every thought and action your brain provides, then transfers that data to the Universal Energy. But this process is a trade. The Universal Energy is constantly talking to you, requesting you to carry out specific tasks every moment of every day. It does so by making these assignments feel good. They are elated callings that differ from person to person at varying degrees to ensure that everyone has a job and everything gets done.

Your responsibilities are sacred to you; the Universal Energy has deemed them so. You must worship the inner and outer energies by providing yourself with as much happiness as you can find. If a path resonates with positivity, then that is the way. If a position does not tickle your vibration, disregard it. The unreasonable proposal here is to enjoy every moment you are alive because negativity directly results from betraying your Internal Universe. It is an impossible goal but the only goal all the same.

The brain may be in control of your actions, but when armed with this knowledge, your mind can train itself to prioritise the pursuit of what your energy enjoys to watch. Sadly, the majority of brains will never arrive at this conclusion. Most people get stuck in the webs of their thoughts until the day that they die.

Your brain doesn't know what it wants. It is dwelling in the past by rereading memories, weighing up experiences to calculate decisions. It's an automated system that regularly leads to suffering. Only your Internal Energy knows what you want because the Universal Energy is guiding it. Your positive emotions draw you towards certain things because the Universal Energy wants you to pursue them. And if you can accurately sync up with your path, then the Universe will collaborate with you and move all fruitless obstacles out of the way to allow you to move forward fast, as this benefits its evolution too.

There is something that you are better at than every being that has ever existed. The infinite combinations of each unique human brain living within the endless possibilities of the physical world make this accurate for everyone. It will be something that you enjoy so much that it will require much less effort for you than anyone else. Even the challenges along the way will be enjoyable hurdles you desire to conquer. Where others would feel anxiety, you will translate into excitement. And what's more, it will provide satisfaction to a gap in society, meaning others will happily trade their skills for your skills, allowing you to the resource to focus more intensely on your True Path still.

Unfortunately, you probably won't ever discover exactly what this thing is. We doubt most people ever fully do. But you can get closer and closer by following those movements that rev up your emotions the loudest—most specifically, the emotion of passion.

Hinduism always taught this. It is explained perfectly via the Vedic understanding of Dharma. You have a specific role to play, just like everyone has a specific role to play, working together to keep the Universal Energy balanced and evolving forward. Similarly, Confucianism tells how Tiān (the celestial aspect of the cosmos) gives each person different tasks to perform to direct them towards a life of highter virtue.

Simply put, your Life is bigger than you, and you must serve it with every shred of your existence.

So what is the meaning of life? That is up to you to find. And you will know you've found it when everything becomes irrelevant in comparison. The conflict that interrupts your journey will be of the highest calibre, and you will not even question the fight through them. An adversary will only encourage you to double your efforts. You will be vibrating on a higher plane of certainty, your attention will be acute and unbreakable, and no one will have the capability to say anything that could slow you down.

And, in theory, if you can maintain this feeding tube of clear information to the Universe, the powers that be will keep you alive forever. Omg, the secret to eternal life was to fascinate the gods all along! Who knew? Janthopoyism does not officially approve of this hypothesis. But if your brain agrees to commit to our teachings, our objective is to fill the rest of your life with its true meaning. The answer lies inside of your energy, and we know how you can reach it. If that sounds like something you're interested in, then you've come to the right place.
