  1. Meaning can be expressed in joy, delight, laughter, loving-devotion to an ideal.<\/li>\n
  2. Meaning can be generated through the very act of expression. In the doing is the learning.<\/li>\n
  3. Meaning needs no past, no future except the anticipation of greater fulfillment.<\/li>\n
  4. Meaning is the root-cause of all personal action.<\/li>\n
  5. Meaning means that life is worth living – for oneself, for others, for a collective larger than oneself.<\/li>\n
  6. Meaning is the outcome of faith and love.<\/li>\n
  7. Meaning is of the nature of love itself and has it roots in faith and self-esteem.<\/li>\n
  8. Faith and self-esteem are themselves rooted in the ego – individual, collective, or universal.<\/li>\n
  9. To seek meaning is to seek life.
    \nTo lose meaning is to lose life itself.<\/li>\n
  10. What is meaning?
    \nMeaning is the energy of self perpetuation.<\/li>\n
  11. When this self perpetuation is individual limited and deeply contexted, it leads to a grasping, wanting society.<\/li>\n
  12. When this self perpetuation is collective, bonded and rooted in a shared purpose, it leads to powerful contribution.<\/li>\n
  13. When this self perpetuation transcends the collective, becomes unbounded and free, it becomes capable of pure love of existence itself.<\/li>\n
  14. The journey from the individual to the universal is called evolutionary purpose.<\/li>\n
  15. The generation of greater and greater meaning through the living of this evolutionary purpose is called fulfillment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
