A person who has lost the meaning of life rushes between two questions "Why?" and "What for?". Or, in other words, between the Cause and the Purpose. At the same time, emotionally, he is not very good. We rarely seek meaning when we are happy.
Consider both options for the search for meaning.
In the first case, the meaning that answers the question “Why?” Concerns the creation of the world and the emergence of man. There are two kinds of answers to "Why?":
- Meaning as a cause … Our scientific understanding of the world is based on this.
- Sense as a design … The basis of a religious and philosophical view of the world.
In the modern world, we can meet mixed answers - "Divine design became a scientific reason"
More often, none of the answers completely satisfies and the person begins to believe in chaos and concludes that "Sense-why not."
And even if someone finds the answer in science or religion, the monster "Why?"
Sense in the direction of the question "Why?" let's call it meaning is purpose people are looking even more actively than meaning-reason.
Three assumptions are used here for the solution:
- There is one universal meaning.
- Each has its own personal meanings.
- Individual meanings are subordinate to one big one.
We can arrange goals on shelves or collect in pyramids. But this does not give answers, why do the meanings-goals so often contradict each other? And why are there so many meanings?
Dead end again. There is a lot of meaning, but the answer to the question "Why?" No!
In thinking between why and why they make one logical mistake, even more linguistic. The meaning is referred to as nouns. But the root of the word "thought" is the meaning = with thought.
The meaning is not a noun, but an adjective
Accordingly questions to search meaning of life "How?", "What?".
It's hard for us to find answers to why and why but we are still alive because we know how to live and what kind of life.
Ask a person who is confused about the meaning. How is it, to live meaningfully? I think that everyone has their own idea of meaningfulness.
If we designate the meaning as an adjective, in other words it is also a quality of life. Then it is easier to feel it, and not to find it mentally. No wonder many languages have a word sense more sensual and close to everyone.
As the book of Ecclesiastes says, "It is better to see with the eyes than to wander with the soul."
The need for a sense of life is inherent only in man. We seek meaning in beauty, knowledge and religion. We are trying to find it in love, work, pleasure and even suffering, we are ready to argue endlessly about the meaning.
Why is the question “What is the meaning of life? »Brings us so many anxiety, unbalances and does not allow us to live the way we want? Why, when a person is happy, he does not ask himself?
It is clear why we need meaning. For life. But it's not clear why we want him so desperately? Also, what's the point? this is a strong obsessive thought, a computer virus for our brain, it is also a strong need, the same as needs for safety, approval and control.
We are experiencing need for meaning in lifebut it is not related to meaning as such. Its existence does not depend on our quest. America was even before it was discovered by Columbus. The very same need is caused by a person's collision with existential problems such as death, love, loneliness, chaos, freedom and responsibility.
The need for a sense it is a program by which we live, being in an existential crisis. Constant sense of lack of meaning. How to get rid of this feeling?
I suggest using the Sedona method. Give this a little time and attention. Ask yourself.
Can I accept my need for meaning?
Can I accept that meaning exists even without my quest?
Can I leave myself a need for meaning?
Can I let go of this need?
When? Now
Answer, not thinking, but more on a sensual level. Remember, you are getting rid of the need for meaning, not the meaning itself. Repeat these questions to yourself until you are completely relieved.
Freed from needs of meaningyou can live and realize your meaning is your life.

The Meaning Of Life Is In Life Itself
When I was studying at the institute, we had a teacher in clinical and pathopsychology, who always tried to give us not just a dry theory, but some seemingly abstract knowledge that could be useful to us in life. One of these tasks she set “the search for an answer to the question“What is the meaning of life?

The loss of the meaning of life is a condition that can overtake a person suddenly. It sometimes occurs as a result of some traumatic life situations. Or, on the contrary, it happens because of the lack of regular work, the exertion of forces to achieve specific goals.
