Re: Mind's Eye Search for meaning

If there is something to gain from acknowledging death and loss in
general it seems to be that it can encourage one to reevaluate the sense
of possession and emotional obsessions that might prevent a more
encompassing view. It may sound strange that accepting my limitations
from the outside, that nothing has come by choice and little of my (the)
self will likely survive death, but the sum of what built up this
selfhood and all the integrations add up to the sum of what can be
called my spiritual and existential struggle. They are different aspects
of the same, knowing this has provided a bit of peace and greater
mobility. I like Allan's take on many paths, as it has renewed under
this light- a sense of duty came as by choice informed by knowledge and
driven by passion, at the same time I've been built to it by nature.
Doesn't really answer any questions like meaning, or end the struggle
for understanding, or resolve any debate but it gives me a better sense
of direction.

That last one was a related but premature and incomplete post, I somehow
completely overlooked making the point. :)
