"The Mystery of Life Isn’t a Problem to Solve but a Reality to Experience" 

 

Everyone who is born is considered to have had numerous lifetimes and to be heavily indebted to karmic debt.  It could be either good or bad.  One may not have control over one's birth circumstances, but they do have power over their decisions.  Therefore, it is up to you to decide what you want out of life.   Sometimes life circumstances compel you to place a high value on material money, and discovering that fortune ends up being your life's ultimate goal.  However, when you are a seeker, knowledge takes precedence over all other considerations, and you are compelled to go to great lengths in order to find the answers to your questions.

Living happens without you being aware that you are life. (You should realize that you are life, even though you are yourself.) However, conception and the emergence of life can coexist together. (Our expression.) This manifestation process is one with which we may cooperate. But we have to wake up first. Before we may once more utilize the potential contained in creating life (our being), we must relearn the isness side of life. We are not yet fully conscious enough to understand the importance of our "being." We shall be fulfilled when we encounter the core of who we are. As a result, we will no longer conflate life (our existence) with ideas about living that come from our minds.

We will be liberated from our minds by this impending conscious flowering. We'll become more conscious of how we relate to the mind. In the course of life, this will make energy appear as a compatible frequency. Furthermore, we shall align with this flow. The need or desire to control or define life (ourselves) will no longer exist. Therefore, a collaboration with life (our existence) will lead to everything that is conceived. What if our plans or wishes (conceives) don't work out the way we had hoped? Then, this was purely a mental need that we never got. Nevertheless, we obstinately persuade ourselves that we ought to get everything. However, these are erroneous mental representations.

Only when we become more conscious will there be a true change. Understanding how to relate to object consciousness is essential. We can communicate with cosmic awareness thanks to this skill. Do you know the well-known passage from the Bible, Galatians 6:7? Because what a man plants, he will also harvest. With a little twist, this advice provides a fresh perspective on life. This remark can be rephrased as follows: "Whatever an ignorant man sows, he will undoubtedly harvest, whether he desires it or not." This exemplifies the connection that universal intelligence may create. A deeper relationship with life (your actual self) can only be experienced via awareness and increased awareness of consciousness.

The phrase quickly took over practically every discussion I had with people in which I was attempting to describe how peer support operated, and the more I used it, the more I realized that the idea was actually not new at all! Before I knew it, lived experience appeared in every circumstance I encountered. Simple yet obvious examples of lived experience hiding in plain sight include friends telling me when to go to the local market so that we won't be overrun by the crowds, my mother giving me step-by-step instructions on how to prepare a family recipe that has been passed down through the generations, and the midwife offering small solutions for any problems that arise when raising a newborn.

In order to ensure that we would not be left without at least a vague understanding of what was approaching or what we could do in the future, every interaction we had was a conscious or more visceral registering of other people's experiences.  We all operated off the (experienced) experience of others, as I could see everywhere I looked.

Our initial impulse, as someone going through something that nobody around us appeared to understand, was to tell everyone about it. It would soon become the modus vivendi for everyone else.  Sometimes it was merely a means of discussing something "new" that would spark attention, but more often than not, the idea behind sharing was to "help"—to ensure that others might cope better with what we had gone through.  Few things are devoid of "lived experience," from a youngster telling her friends how she injured herself while playing with a toy to our extensive literature.

There is not much time. It's forever, too. It is both infinite and finite. Time binds all of us. However, we possess the ability to surpass it. Like a river, time flows. It glides ahead. You can't go back. Time is a river in which we are all adrift. We are powerless to stop it. Only how we react to it is up to us. Some decide to go against the grain. They attempt to control the future or cling to the past. However, this is a pointless endeavor. Time is a stronger river than ever.

Other others decide to give in to the flow. They acknowledge that time is passing quickly and that they are unable to halt it. Making the most of their time and living in the moment are their main priorities. Our time ends when we die. That's when we leave the river of time. Being aware of our mortality might serve as a strong incentive to fully enjoy life. We are more inclined to concentrate on the things that are essential to us when we are aware of the limited amount of time we have or when we intentionally remind ourselves of how brief life is. And recognize the beauty of life and the small pleasures that bring us joy.

Life is often seen as a puzzle—a series of questions waiting to be answered. We search for meaning, purpose, and definitive explanations, believing that if we think hard enough, we’ll "solve" life. But what if life isn’t a problem to be solved at all? What if it’s a vast, unfolding experience meant to be lived, felt, and embraced in all its uncertainty and beauty? 

 

This idea, encapsulated in the quote "The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve but a reality to experience," invites us to shift our perspective. Instead of constantly seeking answers, we can learn to appreciate the journey itself—the joys, sorrows, surprises, and even the unanswered questions. 

 

 1. The Human Tendency to Seek Answers 

From ancient philosophy to modern science, humanity has always sought to understand life’s biggest questions: 

- Why are we here? 

- What is the meaning of existence? 

- Is there a grand design, or is life random?  

While curiosity drives progress, the obsession with solving life can lead to frustration. We may feel anxious when we don’t have clear answers or when reality doesn’t match our expectations.  

Key Thought: The pursuit of knowledge is valuable, but reducing life to a mere equation strips away its depth and wonder.  

 2. Life as an Experience, Not a Puzzle 

The quote suggests a different approach: instead of treating life as a riddle, we should embrace it as an ever-unfolding experience. 

 

 Why Experience Matters More Than Solutions 

- Impermanence: Life is constantly changing—what seems true today may evolve tomorrow. 

- Subjectivity: Each person’s journey is unique; there’s no single "correct" way to live. 

- Depth of Feeling: The most profound moments (love, loss, joy) can’t be fully explained—only felt. 

 

Example: Think of watching a sunset. Analyzing its colors scientifically doesn’t compare to the awe of simply witnessing it. 

 

 3. The Beauty of Uncertainty 

Many spiritual traditions and philosophies (like Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and existentialism) emphasize embracing the unknown. 

 

- Taoism: "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao" — some truths are beyond words. 

- Existentialism: Life has no predefined meaning; we create our own through choices and experiences. 

 

Key Insight: Uncertainty isn’t a flaw—it’s what makes life dynamic and full of possibility. 

 

 4. How to Shift from Solving to Experiencing 

Practical ways to embrace life as a mystery: 

 

 A. Practice Mindfulness 

- Be present instead of overanalyzing. 

- Observe thoughts without judgment. 

 

 B. Let Go of the Need for Control 

- Accept that some things can’t be understood or predicted. 

- Trust the process. 

 

 C. Cultivate Wonder 

- Approach each day with curiosity, like a child discovering the world. 

- Find beauty in small, ordinary moments. 

 

 D. Embrace the Journey 

- Focus less on destinations (success, answers) and more on the path itself. 

- Learn from challenges instead of resisting them. 

 

 5. The Freedom in Not Knowing 

When we stop demanding absolute answers, we open ourselves to: 

- Deeper connections (shared human experiences matter more than debates). 

- Creative living (art, love, and innovation thrive in uncertainty). 

- Inner peace (acceptance replaces endless searching).
