I am not so sure that the search for meaning in life events is useful. It is far too dependent on far too many variables. Search to me denotes a purposeful looking for something. What part of me is searching? What needs or desires or pain or pride or fear may be directing it? Of course, if we want to grant Reason as being above the personal, then it seems the search appears wise. But how can it be and is it good to rise above the personal? If such a search is just to give succor or to justify our actions, isn't it just a delusion? My question is, I guess, is it possible to find meaning without searching for it? Can it be stumbled upon unexpectedly? Does it have to do with our life experiences? Is looking with simple wonder more accurate than looking with directed intent? Or, is there a meaning outside of who we are, what we know, and our experience? A truly "something other."

I wasn't clear, in search I meant those things your soul or spirit itself is presented with those question you discuss teaching you more of the higher plane in realizing there is something more... As you grow in acceptance of it you naturally urn for more.. it's not knowing what the "more is" you want knowledge of....

Perhaps some of that is "simply knowing that there is " the meaning is a constant in your development...

Looking with simple wonder is growth especially if you let the basics of your knowing foster on its own, unconvulted with the yes of a child and soul of the innocence it is..
