Comprehending beliefs and ways of thinking in terms of the context which created them is central to the question of the meaning of life and the next great religion. This is a silly question, really. Only people deeply confused by the Western cultural gestalt could imagine asking it. Life is its own meaning, self-referential and immediate . Life is the highest art form imaginable, weaving patterns of ever-increasing complexity and synergy, forming changing interrelationships of all kinds at every level of its expression.
Life is the universe comprehending itself.
The meaning of life is living and the re-creation and evolution of life. Every cell in your body knows this. Every tribe, every family, every people know this. All life knows this, from the simplest virus to the dolphins and the whales. From within the global reference frame of any human is something called happiness.
