Meditation: On the Purpose of Consciousness

If in our life we are meant to experience life, learn from it and pass on what we learn; what is the end to which we arrive in this infinite loop?
 
What are we ultimately striving to learn? To build? What foundation are we forming that future generations may complete our work? Is it all in an effort to travel as far as we can and collectively interact with as much of the universe as possible? What does that lead to once we have collectively crossed all space-time? Is it as simple as our construction of a new synthetic universe within our own collective consciousness with riddles for embedded worlds, such as this, cascading up and down forever in an attempt to continue the loop? Is it just turtles on the backs of turtles all the way down?
 
I welcome your thoughts.

Meditation: On Fear & Success

*********************

Is fear anything more than just that: Fear? Any fear we have likely has no basis in reality – it is often not an actual harm to the body, but merely an un-choice based around perception of outcome without testing for bounds of actuality. Fear by nature assumes the worst outcome while not allowing for the possibility of the best.

What if instead we chose to try? Try for the best whilst controlling for worse cases all while attempting to not be presumptuous?

Fear is black and white.

But life – Life is clearly grey.

Life allows for a hue of successes and failures on a curvaceous path filled with serendipity, nuance, finesse, idiocrasy, opportunity, despair, illusion, doubt and achievement.

Life allows for more than one outcome, no outcome and all outcomes together. Perhaps the only true hurdle between fear and success is choice – with the rest being determined action? Doing what is feared one step at a time until what was once feared becomes commonplace and even mastered.
