Hi C . J . ,Meaning of life huh , I read your meaning agree with some not all . Yes we all go through different things in life good or bad or both . The meaning in your life is your love and compassion for others and family . The true caring person you are . So your life means a lot to your family , friends , and people here . My life's meaning is nothing , just bad from 10 on . Hugs and peace great writing
Thanks C .J . , I try to be the best I can , Yet i would be lying if i said , I never had a chip on my shoulder . It took me years to lose that chip . Yet Somehow i finally did . Hugs and peace to you and everyone
I understand, but I still think the meaning is still there. Think about it for a second. Just because you can’t remember or know doesn’t change what is or was. And you have to admit, if the mind is gone, there really is no thinking past, present or future. You’re gone without being physically gone. There really isn’t a “me” per se. Your “me” effect isn’t there and in a way at that point doesn’t matter. That’s kind of where I was going with the purgatory thing.
That makes as much sense as mine does since we just don’t know. (grin) Maybe one of us will gain some clarity tonight. Thank you so much, Ken, for having this discussion. You are intuitive and insightful.
Your meaning and purpose is still the same, that hasn’t changed. If you’re living with Alzheimer’s or dementia your memories may be gone, but your meaning and purpose, the who you are, is not.
The only difference I can see is that you have still completed your mission, but it’s not quite time for the Divine Space. Maybe it’s just the purgatory we were always taught about before you ascend.
Yeah, but as I read the question, it asks how would losing the meaning of what I think MY life is to ME effect ME. If the meaning of my life is contained in my memories and those memories are gone, that would change the meaning of my life to ME exponentially. You're right, not to others. I would still be me to others and whatever their memories are about me would stay the same. The memories, vis a vis their meaning to me, would only be gone to me.
I was shown earth death and we go "Home" again where we originally came from to decide whether to come back for another human experience/journey. The Consciously Aware can return with all of our knowledge and experiences intact. The unconscious unaware will be (for lack of a better word) recycled. They, too, can have another human experience/journey.
“So, should I ever suffer from Alzheimer’s or dementia, one by one those memories would all cease to be. With them would go the meaning, the entire purpose, of my life ...”
No because you established your meaning your whole life, the who you are, the mark you made. That over time has probably changed very little, even fortified going along. You were put on this earth for that entire purpose you speak of, and by working towards and completing it established your meaning. That doesn’t change because you are gone - the meaning is the same. Leaving is just the Man upstairs saying you’ve completed your purpose, your mission.
I'll have to think about that a while, Ken. I know you mean well. I'm under the impression though that if I'm still alive and in a nursing home and I have Alzheimer's, when the memories are gone "I" don't know who I am, or my purpose any longer. Maybe those around me will remember, and those I care about, or wrote for, but I will lose my meaning of life. Help me here, Ken.
I find this really hard to answer C.J, l am not sure what the meaning of my life is/would the meaning change if l died tonight? I guess the meaning of my life would be the meaning people gave it, from their memories maybe? Apparently when we die, we take with us all the loving thoughts and deeds we gave and received in this life; given we come from and return to love. I do hope this is the case. I guess we can view our lives perspective from a more expansive knowing from across the veil.
My father was in a nursing home for 10 years with dementia. My sister and l visited him weekly, I think that he still knew what was going on at a soul level…. You could see it in his eyes sometimes.
That's an honest answer, Simone. I agree that memories may be the key since it's like a blueprint of our entire life. Now, do we take everything with us when we die? That may be a question for Dinahh at some point, although he will tell me I ask too many questions and to go to he silence and find my answers ... hmmmm, we'll see.
I hope the meaning of my life is found in every smile l helped people forge. Some of my memories l would like to erase. I have always worn my heart on my sleeve, made some choices out of love and out of fear. As Iris Dement sings, “There’ll be laughter, even after, you’re gone.” I hope when l die, when people remember me, it is because they’re laughing 😝. Yes, it would be interesting to see what Dinahh offers re leaving this realm with love 🥰. I might meditate on that tonight … l may ask John or Mum 💜
🙏💜. Yes, it’s interesting because of the notion of the life review after we die… related to our contract, the choices we made etc. yet l can also see that the review is cocooned in love, so the ‘bad’ memories aren’t erased as such, our human aspect is gone, so we can view the human experience from the soul, which is love in all its essence. I think that’s what leaving only with the love means… that’s how l currently understand it . Yes. I will ask.

Hi Mitch. Ya know, I can say the same things to you. There are a lot of us here who consider you family.
The same with friends —you are one of the sweetest, kindest, easy to talk to friends and that’s to all of us.
You are also a ‘work’ associate. We all work together here doing what we love and that’s writing.
In my eyes you are also a hero and a survivor, considering all that you’ve been through in your life.
That you made it through in one piece is a testament to your courageous nature —and you’re still upbeat and nice to everyone.
Most might come away with a chip on their shoulder the size of Texas!
You are right where you belong, Mitch.
Group hug and peace

Will you please share any answer you receive? I would love to hear another take on it.
