Even if there were no other, the meaningful one would be OK for me.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also the only one I am sure of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In reality, of course, there are no separate realities. This is about perception and experience \u2015 as is eventually everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Something is meaningful to me; therefore, it exists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And by the way, I exist too. How otherwise could it be meaningful to me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My thinking might not be what I think it to be. Maybe I\u2019m being thought? But if something is meaningful, then I don\u2019t care. Only here lies the difference. In any possible circumstance, it keeps being meaningful. So, that is the only thing I\u2019m sure of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is, of course, not the same as discarding any other reality, not even the one we know nothing about. [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=850\">What is Ultimate Truth?<\/a>\u201d] It\u2019s about validating something, not about denigrating something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One can look at things and see things \u2015 or one can see meaningfulness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, I can listen to some beautiful music and deeply enjoy it. Then I open myself to its meaningfulness and find in this another dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This world is incomprehensibly beautiful \u2015 in meaningfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I am describing now is a meditative lifestyle. I\u2019m not saying this is what everybody should strive towards. I\u2019m not saying this is the ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I\u2019m just describing something of me.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It strikes me that few others get what I mean if I describe this part of me. It seems to be statistically abnormal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I don\u2019t feel abnormal for this, at least not in a negative sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Opening myself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I imagine it happens, one way or another, and then it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can do that at any time \u2015 well, mostly. The only time I kind-a lost it was during a few weeks after my second COVID shot. I suspect this not to be a coincidence. I was careless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s related to [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=6991\">Slipping into Short Meditation<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s also related to [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=6994\">Explosion of the Heart<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s also related to meditation in general.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess, especially so with an emphasis on [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=214\">True Meditation is Warm and Friendly<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not something one can enforce. If you try to do so, I guess it works counter-productive. However, it is something one can strive for in a certain respectful way. [see: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=7128\">Not the Winning, but the Striving<\/a>\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the experience of meaningful reality \u2015 profoundly. I also think it\u2019s close to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, just having meditated for a week can be helpful. [see: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog?p=4499\">Nightlife at the Zendo<\/a>&#8220;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some day, it will be acknowledged as a human right.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From that day onwards, it will even be seen as the most basic human right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even more, one person\u2019s meaningfulness should not starkly stand in the way of another\u2019s. Mainly that is why it\u2019s a candidate for being a \u2018human right.\u2019 At present, there\u2019s a lot of miscomprehension and misconduct in this between and within social cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What would life be without meaningful reality?<\/p>\n<div data-object_id=\"7439\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkwrap cbxwpbkmarkwrap_no_cat cbxwpbkmarkwrap-post \"><a  data-redirect-url=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7439\"  data-display-label=\"0\" data-show-count=\"0\" data-bookmark-label=\" \"  data-bookmarked-label=\" \"  data-loggedin=\"0\" data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"7439\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig  cbxwpbkmarktrig-button-addto\" title=\"Bookmark This\" href=\"#\"><span class=\"cbxwpbkmarktrig-label\"  style=\"display:none;\" > <\/span><\/a> <div  data-type=\"post\" data-object_id=\"7439\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap\" id=\"cbxwpbkmarkguestwrap-7439\"><div class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguest-message\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"cbxwpbkmarkguesttrig_close\"><\/a><h3 class=\"cbxwpbookmark-title cbxwpbookmark-title-login\">Please login to bookmark<\/h3>\n\t\t<form name=\"loginform\" id=\"loginform\" action=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-login.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-username\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_login\">Username or Email Address<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-password\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" class=\"input\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-remember\"><label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"login-submit\">\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button button-primary\" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"https:\/\/aurelis.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7439\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/form><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the reality I would prefer to live in.
