I had the most wonderful conversation yesterday which went from discussing my client’s possibilities to explore in developing her new spiritual practise and ended off discussing aliens, near death experiences and then circled right back to the philosophy behind her new practise!
It got me thinking about how much each and every one of us walking this earth right here, right now, are searching for the meaning of life. I have always been intrigued by Professor Brian Cox who is a professor of particle physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester and The Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science. He is best known to the public as the presenter of science programmes, especially the Wonders of… series and for popular science books, such as Why Does E=mc²? and The Quantum Universe. Professor Cox is also one of the researchers at CERN.
When asked “Does life have meaning?”, this was his response : “Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.” And I love this answer! I completely agree with him and it demonstrates for me how much power we have over life and more particularly our own lives.
If you ever want to read a deeply touching and profoundly moving book, get your hands on a copy of ‘Mans Search for Meaning’, written by Dr Viktor Frankl. Viktor Emil Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, philosopher, writer, and Holocaust survivor. He was the founder of logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that describes a search for a life’s meaning as the central human motivational force. This book was written after he was liberated from Auschwiz Death Camp and provides a vivid account of an individual’s experience as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. The book focuses on love, hope, responsibility, inner freedom, and the beauty to be found in both nature and art as a means to helping one endure and overcome harrowing experiences.
We all find meaning in our life in so many different ways. It can be very clear to some people and not so clear to others. And many of us waste so much time, trying to find the meaning of our life, when as Professor Cox says – it is you – you are the meaning to your own life through what you bring to your life. In some ways, this knowledge places huge responsibility on us and it can feel like a huge burden to bear. But the exciting thing about knowing that you give meaning to your own life, is that you can shape and create your life in any way that you choose! And if at any time, you’re struggling with this, I am always here to help you.
My wish for you all today is that you do feel like your life has meaning, like there is a purpose to your being here and that within that meaning and purpose, there is deep happiness for you experience every day.
