Meaning :
A single lifetime would seem not to mean much, for the individual. Here today and gone tomorrow. So what is the sense of it all, and if sense it is, why cannot one know it? Meaning means effects, as implied, inferred, indicated, conveyed, intended or suggested, as significance, sense, import, substance, or purport. What is the meaning of life? How much import can one have? What is of significance, substance or import?
Interpretive Context :
Significance, sense, import, substance, or purport is a matter of interpretation. Overall the planet's existence in a universe so large, and the planet as the size of the atom of an atom of an atom's atom and so on, would make any import exceedingly unimportant. And what is the substance of the earth. Seemingly, it possesses life, found nowhere else in the solar system. But what of this living animation? As it continues on and on a million years after a million years, without change really much, except species here and there, to suit changing climatic conditions. Finally, I am here and can ask the question. It means, meaning doesn't mean anything except as effects limited to a single lifetime. Change the world, but won't be around to see it, unless I could make a return visit as reincarnation, but then I wouldn't know that I had done it. Where's the meaning there?
Back at the ranch, meaning as significance and Consequence would be relative to the interpretation of the Given Existence and human created Qualifed States, or simply human existence for that matter. There are two types of Interpretive Contexts as interpretation here called Determination, Existent, Progressive , and a would-be third type called Meta Determination. Determination means what is determined by and from interpretation. "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailor's warning," is interpretation in the context of weather.
Dimensionality :
Existent Determination would be the context of interpretation of the Positive Dimension as the Given Existence, which is a Conservative determinant, that explains all natural change as promoting the preservation of pre-existent states changed, in a same or similar state and condition. This explains the millions of years of the known physical existence as to begin the planet earth. The problem with Existent Determination is that while it guarantees the continuance of what is, it doesn't explain what for, why and how come, where or how long? Is the universe wrong? And if it were, how could it last so long?
Progressive Determination would be the context of interpretation of the Negative Dimension, as Qualified States, wherein in complete contradiction to the universe, all or at least most human-created change should, it is believed, promote progressed qualities, states and conditions as changed states, which promote human satisfaction and nature be damned. Progressive Determination explains change as activity and behavior which increases value and Consequence. This is the determination of Progressive Materialism as Excess and Profit, which explains the meaning of existence, as producing and having more than what was before. The Given Existence because it does not make a profit and because it is needed as resource for progression has no meaning. And thus, lo and behold, humans have the only meaning, and is only that which means anything in the whole and entire known universe.
Meta Determination would be interpretation in and from the Context of Metaphysical Dimension, as in consideration of other-dimensional states,
as Spirituality, which is the other worldliness of the Positive Dimension, the Given Existence and body; Religion, which is the extra mundane of the Negative Dimension and Qualified States and mind. And mysticism, or what is called here Metaphoria, wherein meaning is extended, as there I was eighty years with Alzheimer's, of no where, why, what, when or how did I do? Well without memory what can anything mean? If I lived before, why can't I remember it now? But the memory is in your astrological character, as propensities and tendencies preprogrammed by birth, as timing with planetary gravitational influences.
Now that, if I'm on the other side in after life, would I have a memory of my carnal existence? I must, for without, I wouldn't have any more meaning than had as dust to dust. Meaning then would possibly amount to significance and Consequence, as an amalgamation meaning what?
What do you want to know, and can one know it?
