    Saint,

    My first recommendation is to stop meditating with the help of hallucinagenic drugs...

    one,

    I tried the walking at least one hour a day thing like you said, After a week I was almost 50 miles away from home.

    There you go making an assumption that i meditate with drugs, and of course making a blanket judgement on that practice. Have you read the book mysticism by evelyn underhill?

    I believe that the meaning is in the question itself.
    The asking of that question presupposes an answer and thus a purpose for life and therfore a creator of life.

    I think i get it. Your comment on meditating w drugs was humor based on my comment on laughing snowflakes. Seriously, i can see why someone would say that, but i wasn't on any drugs at the time, or months before.

    Hmmm,

    Very good question..

    For me, the meaning of my life is to love, and share as much with others as possible, for

    We were all born alone, and we will all die alone, but it's what you do together in the time between that counts...

    Gotcha,

    What is the point in asking, and what is the meaning of such a question? We can each tell you what it means to us, but unless you only want to know how each of us view life then it's not that meaningful, because in terms of your life only you can answer that question.

    I think most of us would agree that the questioning is good though, but not all questions have to be directed outward. I do remember this one quote, can't remember the source but it said:

    "The meaning of life
    is a life of meaning."
