If life is a test, then the one testing must want to refine and filter what is being tested.
This means that life is a purification process.
The child is only born pure, but then becomes more altered by its environment as time “progersses”; it eventually degenerates and dies.
This is not a refinement, unless being effected by your random genetic strands and environment count as a “refining process”.
To refine is to remove impurity. The process of human “life” is actually the opposite. Everyone gets more altered and decrepid as time “progresses”.
I do not believe that life is a “test”, because a newborn baby could pass the “test” of purity far more easily then the adult could, and that baby has not yet “lived”.
If life has no higher meaning, then it is its own meaning, and the meaning of one life form will often contradict the meaning of another life form, due to each having their own personal meaning. The lower meaning is non-eternal, thus its temporary status qualifies it as tiny when compared to an infinite timeflow.
If life is an illusion, then what is not an illusion is not alive.
If higher meaning can be born, but not initially exist, [like the big-banging universe of ours] – then life being meaningless today does not mean that life will be meaningless forever. If meaninglessness is not a perminent condition, then the law of spontaneism dictates that eventually [if one were to live long enough to see it] – higher meaning would exist, simply because it could. All eternal beings will eventually experience higher meaning, if higher meaning can possabily exist. Eternal life forms have the highest odds of posessing higher meaning.
Meaning is a form of understanding – of direction and condition. Meaning is a subjective, optional thing, like a life form is.
All things that were born were subjective, optional existences. Reality is also subjective.
The terms and catagories that humans mentally invented in order to organize their world – do not naturally exist in that world, they are instead tools for comprehension.
When any human tries to say what “life is” – he is simply wondering which of his mental catagories he can fit it into.
Reality and thoughts are seporate things, one is not the other.
Thoughts exist within reality, and are a part of reality, thus thoughts are real, even if they are “not real”.
I do not exist. Reality does not exist. My thoughts do not exist. My opinions do not exist. It is all a random, temporary, changing system of cause and effect, which is as-good-as-gone.
Me saying that reality does not exist, is also a word which is part of reality, thus my saying that it does not exist, does not exist.
Everything was – even before any man said that it was – thus a man saying anything at all – changes nothing but himself.
Belief has nothing to do with “reality”, as reality can exist without belief.
Belief controls the believer. Belief exists as a means of controling humans.
If one was left out-of-control, one would still act, thus controlling, thus not out-of-control.
“Control” always will exist, but its origin can have many different sources.
As control always exists, it does not exist.
