WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? by Ken Wilber – The Big Question Series – Question 4

In this series Ken Wilber explores some of humanity’s most profound and perennial questions: Is there a God? What is the meaning of life? What is consciousness? These are questions that we humans have been asking since the dawn of humanity; questions that have inspired history’s greatest philosophers, sages, and scientists; questions that have in many ways influenced the overall shape and scope of civilization over the millennia. We continue to ask ourselves these questions today—often beginning in childhood, and then again and again throughout the rest our lives. Although these questions are in many ways unanswerable, our attempts to answer continue to come closer and closer to the inexpressible truth as our understanding of the universe and our place within it continues to unfold and evolve.

Welcome to Big Questions with Ken Wilber, bringing more clarity, more sophistication, and more elegance to our understanding of life, the universe, and everything.

All text transcribed from live interviews with Ken Wilber.

Don’t Give Any Compassion to the Egoic Mind – Mooji

It is almost as though your mind will not give up 
unless you give the mind up, in a sense.
When I say ‘give it up’, I mean to give up 
who are you are in your mind —
you have to give up.
Otherwise, you will speak different things 
but you will not change inside,you will not have melted 
into that sweetness that comes 
when you are really aware of the Truth.
A person cannot change a person;
only Grace and God can change you, 
but you have to be humble.

Kitra Cahana: My father, locked in his body but soaring free – TED Talks

In 2011 Ronnie Cahana suffered a severe stroke that left him with locked-in syndrome: completely paralyzed except for his eyes. While this might shatter a normal person’s mental state, Cahana found peace in “dimming down the external chatter,” and “fell in love with life and body anew.” In a somber, emotional talk, his daughter Kitra shares how she documented her father’s spiritual experience, as he helped guide others even in a state of seeming helplessness.

The Work of Byron Katie

I love the thought of “who would I be without that story?” So full of potential without a past or a future.

The Work of Byron Katie is a way of identifying and questioning the thoughts that cause all the anger, fear, depression, addiction, and violence in the world. Experience the happiness of undoing those thoughts through The Work, and allow your mind to return to its true, awakened, peaceful, creative nature. Are you ready? Everything you need in order to do The Work is available free on this website.

The 4 Questions
Investigate each of your statements on the Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet using the four questions and the turnarounds below. The Work is meditation. It’s about opening to your heart, not about trying to change your thoughts. Ask the questions, then go inside and wait for the deeper answers to surface. Download the Facilitation Guide for helpful sub-questions.

In its most basic form, The Work consists of four questions and turnarounds. For example, your statement might be “[Name] doesn’t listen to me.” Find someone in your life about whom you have had that thought. Then take that statement and put it up against the four questions and turnarounds of The Work.

Step 1 Is it true? (Yes or no. If no, move to 3.)

Step 2 Can you absolutely know that it’s true? (Yes or no.)

Step 3 How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?

 Who would you be without the thought?

Turn the thought around. Then find at least three specific, genuine examples of how each turnaround is true for you in this situation.

A Skype Satsang with a group in Kazakhstan

For a moment, don’t allow the sense ‘I Am’ to create any relationship with any object; just let it stay by itself. This is the most direct way into Self-recognition.How amazing that in the instant of awakening, the person vanishes and is replaced by joyous presence. Hallelujah to the Truth!
