To those with a conscious personal development: what is the meaning of meaning from your perspective?
To me, meaning is what develops via defining our own experience and worldview on our own terms without depending on outside sources of truth.
The process of defining meaning through careful inner analysis and contemplation is all about bringing the inner experience into outer form: truthfully, effeciently and also with detachment and a willingness to let go of beliefs and assumptions.
Meaning keeps us moving forward, evolving and developing our greatest potential.
Development must include the objective component of defining meaning, or it will stagnate. We cannot feel our way to Self Realization, although emotional awareness is equally essential in the process. But that's for another question.
Thanks for sharing your view.
Meaning as defining inner understanding, which has developed through conscious analysis of inner experience. Thanks!
Thanks for the response, imo:
Enfeelingment (Subject Being) without Engnowingment (Objectively competent in defining meaning and also in defining Subjective Being into language that can be shared with others) is impotent to bring transformation into the collective mind. We cannot develop our true potential as humans without the ability to define it. Being is still Being, even when it is actualized in Doing. Conscious doing is Being Doing….and that kind of doing develops everyone, not just our own personal self.
I am not interested in death and don't care what happens 'after' something that does not truly exist. There is only Life and bringing Life to the world is my only interest. ![]()
Thank you for the quotes cheeky
I really vibe with the first one. WOW!!!
Think you pretty well summed it up.
Meaning as in understanding, or meaning as in sentimentality, or meaning as in self-worth?

You have pretty much summed it up so hope you
will not mind a couple of Quotes I like;
LIFE can become meaningful when we become conscious of our power to make choices and negotiate the boundaries of existence – life, death, and our strengths, weaknesses, responsibilities to ourselves and to others.
Emmy van Deurzen.
And one on self;
Self is an experience, emotional, religious, shattering and healing. Self is a discovery of sense and nonsense – of life and death – of the pairs of opposites and the validity of this and that –
Vera von der Heydt –
Go Well,

If your not interested in death you cant begin to understand the meaning of life,therefore we all would take our last breath and anyone that thinks this is were our bodies will cease and our spiritual being will not continue to flourish truly has a stunted awareness of the love that's within us all for all eternity

Meaning is that essence/identity that individuals relate to.

to me, the meaning of meaning would be significance, not definition. How do things apply to your life, because the only way to experience these things is in life experiences. "meaning" can be applied to more than vocabulary but also to physical objects, abstract ideas, historical or religious texts.
how do these things make you feel when you experience it? Do they bring up memories? Are they happy memories?
It's all very profound.

Meaning is how your purpose in life. It is what you should do to achieve a very blissful life. For me, my meaning is to be able to touch lives in a very simple way. The reason why I decided to pick philosophy as a topic to answer is because many people lack a good understanding of the human psyche and if I could help, I would. This in itself is joyful. Good question.

Ok, tough question, only because you seem to be over analysing things a tad. To me meaning is the intent. If you mean to do it, you intend to do it. The dictionary says it can be what I just mentioned or a definition. Life is a broad experience, infinitesimal, live it don't study it.

The meaning of meaning? That's like the definition of a definition.
I would recommend that you just live your life, get older, and along the way you will pick up some really excellent insights. My goal is to be wise. I haven't got there yet, but I can certainly be a wise guy.
Hey relax. You're alive. Enjoy.
