We Need Meaning In Our Lives

 

Many thoughtful thinkers agree that we need meaning in our lives, that we need to believe in and participate enthusiastically, wholeheartedly, and intimately with a cause or purpose larger than and greater than ourselves. I accept this, but wish to qualify my agreement with it.

 

Humans are spiritual beings, sent here for a few short years by the Divine Couple to amount to something spiritually and ethically, a self-sacrificing, living gift and offering shared with our Creators, our way of saying thank you.

 

How is the deep craving to be fulfilled? I suggest a life filled with love and accomplishment, as a living angel, as an individuator, egoist and individualist. There is no better kind of self-sacrifice than to grow and become smarter, more talented, more creative tomorrow than what one was yesterday; this means best satisfies while defining by action and example, what the deep craving for meaning is, and how to complete it.

 

Now, most intellectuals promote, as a meaning-acquisition system for the masses, altruism, and collectivism, with both secular and religious avenues of expression--for the masses. The elite favor altruism and collectivism for the masses, even if some of these better intellectuals are actually accomplished individuators in their own right. For the masses, whom they regard as inferior, irrational and sinful, inferior to themselves in brains, virtue, and talent, they dismiss the masses as only able to find meaning and excellence (moral excellence only) in their lives, by leading lives, immersed in self-sacrificial dedication of the self to the interests of others, in service to others.

 

These elitists and snobs are anti-humanity, anti-masses and anti-individuals as announced and revealed in their utter lack of faith in the masses, their talents, their potential for creating beauty, goodness, and love in the world, through their personal efforts.

 

Only I as a Mavellonialist, hold out the future prospect, thrilling and terrifying (so infinitely open-ended once this genie of individuating for the masses is let out of the lamp), of lives for each of the masses as individuating supercitizens and living angels.

 

The common people’s stupendous growth as living angels will not offend God as anti-God and blasphemous human rebellion—just the opposite—God is happy for them that they finally got their stuff together, and that they actually made something of themselves. As long as they worship a benevolent deity, and they field a good will as they maverize, and remain quietly calm, but diplomatically humble, there should be no objection from God or the other good deities.

 

As the masses individuate and come to live as living angels, they have come to be and serve something greater than themselves, as creators and cosmos makers and maintainers, doing the bidding of the Divine Couple, and that is how they find ultimate, fulfilling, satisfying meaning in a cause and in Divine Beings, greater than themselves.
