The Absolute

In as much as there’s and purpose or meaning to our Awake Local Experience, The Absolute is likely it. It means the sum total of experience, of all the energies and forces of the universe. In so much as everything is energy, the Absolute is all of it.
     There may be as of yet undiscovered or unstudied consciousness energies. It seems likely, but science is only a part of the appeal. What is it that makes us fear death, seek patterns, and crave experience outside ourselves? That’s what we call vitality, and it’s wired into each of us and likely stumped in our DNA.
     So simply acknowledging that the universe and the life in it—our lives—are magnificent is a good way to answer the questions of the Vital self. And this isn’t a metaphysical thing. The universe is energy. Period. We are super-complex electric meat. Celebrate that. Learn from that. Integrate that into your life in meaningful ways.
      Again, it’s what you’re meant to do. So don't be put off by any talk of The Absolute as if we're pushing a worldview or spirituality. We are not. We are simply acknowledging the facts of the universe and our experiences of it. What you do with those facts, to answer your own vital questions, is entirely up to you.
      Maybe try meditating on it.
