Sometimes I wish that I had never begun questioning things, sometimes I wish I could go back to being wide-eyed and optimistic about the world, unaware of the realities that have been hidden in the past, present, and future. In my experience, ignorance could well have been bliss, as an awakened life is certainly not a happier life.
The one truth I have not been able to uncover is that of purpose and of meaning. Every goal that I once had, my dream job, aspirations, plans for the future, children etc. have all been whittled away upon realizing that everything we have ever been told is a lie, and is continuously built upon by more lies. Our governments and neighbors have sold us down the river, and society is increasingly foreign (in both the literal and figurative sense), hostile, unwelcoming and expensive. People screw each other over for financial incentives, and all that matters is materialism. Hell even if you try to live a pure life, you cannot escape every one else.
Governmental endorsed mass immigration has destroyed culture, identity, economy, safety and security. Of course, the knee-jerk reaction is to scream 'fight for the west and our values!' - to which I ask, 'what values?' we have become a weak whimper of a society: men who think they are women, drag queens, refugees welcome, gay pride parades, feminist harpies and the grooming of children (to name a few). This madness is our 'western values' - values which we cannot question openly without facing censorship or legal repercussions. We are utterly powerless to do anything about any of this. Add to the fact that Joe normie hasn't got the faintest clue and couldn't give two shits either way so long as they have bread and circuses.
My question to those out there who question authority, delve deeply into narratives, look beyond lies and seek truths and have been at the milestone I am now facing: how do you find contentment these days? How do you go on knowing the absolute state of the world, knowing there is nothing you can do, and nowhere you can run? I am at a point where I see no optimism in the future and question what the point is in continuing in a world so full of deceit, corruption, evil and stupidity.
How did you find meaning and purpose?
What is this some sort of psy op demoralization propaganda? The meaning and purpose comes from defeating these evil doers, obviously. And, we're winning and they're (you're) panicking.
LOL, there's so many posts like this on Reddit it's easy to spot the trend.
And let's see...zero replies to comments, zero replies to comments in previous posts, three TOTAL comments in history.
Geez, who woulda thunk it?
I don't think it's either of those. For some, the struggle with the sheer weight of all that is going on can certainly take a toll on the mind. It sounds more like a cry for reassurance that there are still things out there that are worthwhile.
The Bible tells us that Satan is the god of this world. It also tells us that there is nothing new under the sun. I find meaning and purpose is understanding the truth of Scripture and the big, big picture that God has for this world. I recall the verse when Jesus laughs at these satanic globalists with derision as He tramples them in the winepress of His wrath as their blood splatters His garments. There is an end for these people. He has already won the battle, we just have to live our best until he fulfills this reality. So reading the Bible, homeschooling your kids, raising gardens, being a blessing to others, and focusing on what you can control are all ways to find meaning and purpose in a corrupt world waiting for the full redemption of Jesus Christ.
Worship CHRIST.
Being intelligent brings no one happiness. Even those who claim they are, arent. Maybe they have a really good job and they make alot of money and they think they are happy, but if you have even just a smidgen of awareness and your not a sociopath or pychopath, then I think your going to be miserable. It doesnt even matter if you believe in conspiracy's or not. All we know is the economy is going down hill, everyone hates each other, something just doesnt "feel" right.
I think its important to be aware of why its like this, its not just random chance and deep down most of us who question things know something isnt right.
I would only trust what you see and hear, and even then its hard to trust that. You have to trust in yourself and trust in something higher I guess. I am fucking envious of religious people, but Ive never been the type to rely on imaginary help.
All I can do is try and live my life the way I want to, at least when I die, or end up homeless, I have no one to blame but myself. I dont try to focus on the future to much, its pretty bleak and depressing.
I just try to enjoy life to the best of my ability while I can, which is hard considering ive been suffering for years from low phosphorous which the doctors cant explain.
All you can do really, put one foot in front of the other, try to eat and live healthy, and live for the moment.
I think I am able to comment on your post and offer some suggestions.
I don't find meaning and purpose, because I stopped looking for it.
As a result, I have never been more satisfied and felt so completely at peace. Don't misunderstand, sometimes I give into fear, but all in I shun fear.
A story: My grandmother raised me; she was the epicenter of all my love. As I and she grew older, I would be gripped with the fear of losing her. I knew it was an inevitability. I would feel the fear creep into my heart, I would start breathing heavily, and shake. At some point, I had to stop, or I would never be able to function. So one night as my anxiety crept up and fear was sitting on my chest, I gathered my courage and said, "Fear, you will not have power over me, I banish you from my mind and heart", "I love my grandmother with all my heart, and losing her will kill me inside but I must have strength to face the inevitable", "I will focus now on being brave and confident and to never give up". The "never give up" was advice my grandmother gave me when I was very young.
I, like you, sometimes wish I was never awakened to the truth of our world, but I would never trade in now that I am.
I gave my life to God, the creator of all things. My purpose is for God to know and me to accept.
When I say God, I am not talking about man's creation of God, but God, the father of all things. The trees, the land, the Earth. the universe, everything. I let him flood my body with his grace.
Don't think I am some kind of flower of goodness and light, though. I am a nasty curmudgeon who dislikes people in general. No Snow White here.
I exist at God's will, one day I will go from this plane, I am but a tool.
This is really more complicated than what I just wrote and if you want to hear more, I am happy to offer more. It took me a while to come to my peace.
You want to find meaning? Fall on your knees and thank God for the universe he created, and the soul you have that he gave you.
Then maybe take the stoic approach, and realize that life is filled with suffering, and all you can do is deal with it. People dealt with shitter governments than ours, and for longer.
The next step is to open the Bible. As a modern, start with the New Testament. Open to the Gospel of Matthew and read a few chapters a day.
Spite - doing everything you want to do that they don't want you to do, simply because you want to.
What “purpose” do you think you need? What “meaning” have you defined that you’re lacking? I don’t know you from a hole in the ground dude, no one here can give you explicit direct instructions for your situation without knowing you. Telling someone to grow a garden when they live in a tiny apartment with no access to any dirt is terrible advice even though convincing people gardening is important is generally good advice.
I go on knowing I’ve been lied to my whole life, abused and demonized for doing nothing wrong, and that life isn’t fair and it was never going to be.
Every day you’re alive doing what corrupt pieces of shit don’t want you to be doing is a good day. You’re the thorn in the side of horrible people and your very existence causes them grief. Embrace it.
Don’t give into childish fantasies about how everything will be fine as long as you join a cult, and that magic sky daddy wizard will fix everything after you die. Improve yourself. Find a hobby that brings you joy. Adopt a shelter dog and give it the best life it could ever have. If you have land grow and raise your own food and be part of the world they just can’t stop.
You just being you, a questioner looking for the truth, enrages the sheep that want to hand all control over to authority figures like the whole world is grade 1 and we all must obey teacher. The quest for truth is purpose in itself, but you can do so much more.
Well I think it depends on what you think this world is or what it is . Is it a simulation where we can manifest our reality on individual and collective level? Is it some kind of training ground or perhaps supposed to be similar to Minecraft where we can build our dreams into what we want? There are a lot a people in the world and many living in different movies. ATM it appears that globalist have gained power over the simulation but perhaps it doesn't have to be that way. If everyone believes that evil has won perhaps it has however on an individual level the more people that believe the gloabies are just fools like pinky and the brain trying to take over the world and instead focus more on their individual lives and communities perhaps the global power will dwindle away. The only reason despair has spread to all corners of the world is instant access to information and news.
That implies closing ones eyes to perceivable origin, while focusing on suggested outcomes. In other words...wishing FOR tempts one to ignore being moved FORwards.
Suggested questions tempt one to seek suggested answers, which both tempt one to ignore that perceivable solution (inception towards death) generates perceiving problems (life).
Being implies ones problem (temporary growth) to sustain self within solution (ongoing loss)...any question/quest implies moving forwards; while any answer implies others tempting one forwards. This implies suggested progressivism, and distracts one from being resistance (growth) within velocity (loss).
Following orders; going along the mainstream; marching along party-line; consenting (buy) to suggested (sell); choosing want (outcome) over need (origin) etc. are all implying progression forwards instead of resisting the temptation thereof.
Few suggest optimism (order out of chaos) as the inversion of chaos out of order aka ongoing natural order (inception towards death) generating temporary chaos (life). Only this way...no matter how much chaos those within build; nature orders it all continuously.
From a different perspective...motion generates momentum (inception towards death) for matter (life). Where? Internally, hence EN'ERGY, noun (Gr. work) - "Internal or inherent power" aka energy (motion) generating power of loss (momentum) for the power of growth (matter) within...a self sustaining system aka free-dom...free will of choice (life) within the dom-inance of balance (inception towards death).
In short...only within optimum (loss) can there be deficiency (growth). Why? For the momentary opportunity to grow deficiency within optimum into efficiency.
Reality cannot hide; it offers everything (perceivable) towards each one (perception) at any moment (momentum of motion)...it's ones consent to suggested fiction; which tempts one to hide self underneath ignorance/denial of reality for fiction.
Nature reveals (inception) before concealing (death); which matters (life)....those within nature utilize suggestion to conceal the revelation of perception. Why? Because if many ignore reality; then few can control them with fiction. Works like a charm...
a) Others suggest durationism (past; present; future) to distract ones perception from perceivable position (now). One can only exist now; never before or after aka within perceivable moment (momentum of motion).
Consenting to that corrupts ones power (growth) within continuance (loss). Why? Because one is now holding onto that which was (past); projecting hope/fear towards that which will be, all while permitting others to define; redefine and contradict what is presented (present).
b) Instead of present; consider PRES'ENCE, noun (Latin proesentia; proe, before, and esse, to be) aka send (perceivable) before being (perceivable). Meanwhile; PRESENT (German Gift; poison). Remember the smurf giving out presents? Jokey...
Bliss aka "highest degree of happiness"...happy aka happen-stance implies "to come by chance" aka an effect of an unknown cause.
Being implies effect (perception) of known cause (perceivable)....others (happy merchants of temptations) suggest happenstance (happy stance) to distract one from known cause affecting ones effects. It's about curtailing potential among many to increase potential of few.
The foundation of ignorance implies ones free will of choice to ignore need (resistance) for want (temptation). One needs to resist wanted temptations.
Perceivable implies "change"; holding onto suggested is called "truth"....change contradicts truth; which is called "lie". The resulting conflicts (truth vs lies) are called reasoning and are distracting both sides from perceivable change aka from discerning self (life) within a moving system (inception towards death).
In short: no truth; no lies; just change...unless ignored by free will of choice.
Example: I AM (life) changes into I WAS (death). Branding "I AM" as truth will change into a lie. Others can exploit ones ignorance of change to suggest truths and lies, while contradicting both sides against each other with change.
Aka temporary growth (life)...within ongoing loss (inception towards death). The trick...others suggest goals to distract one from growing within loss. How? Goals imply outcomes; being (growth) implies within origin (loss). Resisting suggested goals; grows resistance within perceivable loss.
The highest value (perceivable) in existence implies evaluation (perception)...consenting to any suggested values; goals; achievements; prices etc. devalues ones evaluation through ignorance.
a) The foundation of suggested lies implies ones consent to suggested truth. The more one holds onto truth; the more lies others can stack upon it, which always collapses upon itself within the real foundation of perceivable change.
b) Ignoring need (perceivable) for want (suggested)...within a moving system...implies wanting more, hence going with the motion (inception towards death) being faster than resisting (life).
The path of least resistance implies ones choice to ignore to resisting. Others will tell you whatever you want or not want to hear, all to tempt you to ignore need (perceivable) for want (suggested).
a) Down the river implies from inception towards death.
b) Consenting (buy) to suggested (sell) implies a mercantile contract aka a commercial trade. To buy anything suggested implies selling self out.
Being implies native (life) within foreign (inception towards death). Foreign (whole) sets natives (partials) apart from one another...others suggest social-ism to tempt partials back together aka e pluribus unum (out of many; one) or tikkun olam healing the world by bringing together) or abrahamism (father of multitude) or equality (same) through diversity (difference) etc.
Foreign (ongoing loss) decreases native (temporary growth) unless resisted, hence many being tempted together to permit few to remain apart... https://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/the-jews-of-germany-a-people-apart/2021/10/10/
-ism implies as suggested by another, hence tempting ones consent/submission of self to another. Material/matter (life) needs to resist momentum (inception towards death) of motion as to sustain self apart from one another.
It's ones consent (material-ist) to suggested (material-ism) which tempts partials together aka RELIGION, noun (Latin religio; to bind anew).
MATE'RIAL, adjective (Latin materia, matter) - "Important; momentous" aka imported by motion into momentum. Spiritual implies matters adaptation to being imported into momentum of motion aka Latin spiro - "to breathe".
a) Suggested identiarianism (same) tempts one to ignore being different from one another.
b) Same (inception towards death) generates differences (life).
Only perceivable (all value) towards perception (ones evaluation)...not whatever others suggest as valuable. The term "valuable" implies enabled (perception) by value (perceivable).
Suggested currency tempts one (life) to ignore perceivable current (inception towards death)...holding onto suggested currency drowns one within perceivable current, which one willingly ignores when consenting to suggested.
a) CONTENT, adjective (to be held; to hold)...ones mind (ment) isn't held; it's being set free (will of choice) within perceivable (inspiration). Choosing to hold onto suggested (information) establishes dis-content, when perceivable takes apart suggested, no matter how hard one tries to hold onto it.
b) Finding implies searching for that which is lost. Doing so distracts one from growing self discernment as growth (life) within loss (inception towards death). Loss doesn't need to be found; it implies the foundation for ones growth within.
Growing (resistance) within loss (temptation) implies that "resistance is fertile".
Being implies partial (perception) within absolute (perceivable)...only then can one grow comprehension by adapting to perceivable.
Others suggest absolutism (affixed values) to distract one from being (evaluation within moving value)...ones consent affixes the suggested within ones mind/memory.
Masons of free (will of choice) utilize bricks (suggested information) and mortar (ones consent) to build walls of ignorance within the minds/memories of many.
Nothing (Latin nihilo) implies suggested nihil-ism by others and ones consent to de-nial perceivable for it.
Being (perception) implies within everything (perceivable).
Any suggested point (end of sentence) tempts one to ignore being (life sentence).
a) ME'ANING (having in mind)...implies either suggested information held onto (want) or perceivable inspiration going through (need). One needs to resist wanted temptation, and wields the free will of choice for it.
Consider if mind/memory needs to be used like a ram (temporary storage for ongoing adaptation), while tempting to want to be misused like a hard-drive (storage until capacity)? Filling up a hard-drive slows ram...
MEAN, adjective (Latin communis, vulgus, minor and minuo) - "of little value; low in worth or estimation; low minded"...try letting go of suggested meaning to know what that means.
b) Purpose (Latin propositum) aka position (posit) before (pro) aka before (inception towards death) ones position (life)...not the suggestion of others where one exists, but the discernment of self about the who, where; what and why of being?
SELF discernment cannot be gained by others.
classic redditor writing, starts sentences with the word "hell" to sound extra mature.
The peace and rest you pine for can only be found in Christ. The Bible promises that when you rest in Christ, He will give you the strength and character to persevere through the hardships and trials that come your way. If you are honest about your search for truth, you will inevitably find the truth of the Bible. Once you accept it, you will have the peace you’re looking for and you will also know what you need to do. The anxiety will go away and will be replaced with hope.
Ignorance is bliss.
I thought about that, but the fact i awakened tells me that that was needed. Im glad it happend even with all the hardships it brings along with it.
Thinking about still being asleep, ignorant really creeps me out.
Im fully aware that this awakening is something that could not be avoided. I always was sceptical about the way things work in the world and new something was not right, it was just a matter of time.
At a young age, i would often hear the tv/news in the background. Hearing all those petty issues. Locally and around. Thinking hmm thats something that could be fixed pretty easily. But it never did, it only got worse year after year, then i realized, these problems are not natural, accidental. Its manufactured and kept that way.
This was long before 2001.
A few years back, i finally got it. Those guys in the 80's with the signs that the end is nigh. They were/are right.
It end is nigh. Whats 50 years in the bigger picture?

Meaning and purpose never changed....that was handed down by God.
The deceivers have convinced many people to forget their meaning and purpose....but it's not gone or changed.
The meaning of life and purpose of life is to create the future. Period. That means children, family, a society that prospers ahead, art, music, anything you wish to have repeat throughout and get remembered. Legacies ..and all that is meant by that. Your genetics, your culture, your language....those were created by others...and you are supposed to create with them and for the purpose of the future.
The problem is that it's such a broad meaning and purpose that you need to be cognizant of how you can go awry. You can believe you are creating the future by destroying the past....but you are not.....you can fool yourself into thinking that only novelty is good...but nature is a cyclical mistress and likes a routine from time to time and a little craziness as well.
i just ball the fuk out. everyone is insane and crazy and lost in their own right, learn to laugh. create a strong subjective reality for yourself, follow your true passions, dont let entropy program it for you. dont try to squeeze yourself in where you know you dont fit. learn more skills, build better things, keep you & your tribe strong and operating at high vibration
