Most people — most of the time — are focused on
the affairs of their daily lives.
This is as it should be.
But a time comes — for some of us —
when we step back and reflect on the life we are living:
Who am I?
Why am I here?
Is there some greater purpose for my life?
When this time comes,
we need a place where we can turn
— a safe place with no agenda —
to find answers to our questions.
That is why we are here.
Welcome to Resource for Life
This is Resource For Life,
an online reference center that offers unconventional views on the human experience of being consciousness in a body.
Resource for Life is free.
It is often said that life is a journey.
In fact it is two journeys.
A horizontal journey leads us toward self-fulfillment.
A vertical journey opens us up for enlightenment.
Which path are we on?
Or are we on any path at all?
We begin our journey
by asking ourselves the three most important questions in life…
The three most important questions in life:
- Who am I?
- What is the nature of the world around me?
- How must I relate to this world?
— Professor Harry Rathbun, Stanford University School of Law
Resource for Life is nine interrelated websites that explore
— each from its own unique perspective —
the mystery of consciousness and its relationship to the body.
These nine websites help us answer the three most important questions in life.
Question #1:
Who am I?
Paradox at the Core
Who are we? We are consciousness and we are a body. Consciousness and the body are opposites. What is true for consciousness is not true for the body. What is true for the body is not true for consciousness. Life is the process of balancing the tension between these two opposites.
Aliveness
To be conscious in a body is to be alive. But what does it mean to be alive? Are we more alive at some times than at other times? Do we find aliveness or create aliveness? Maybe the purpose of life is to discover the secret of being more alive.
The Head & The Heart
We have been taught that reality is the physical world of matter and form. But is that all there is to reality? Every day we experience things that we cannot see or hear. It is time for us to open up to a broader experience of reality.
Question #2:
What is the nature of the world around me?
Humanity’s Dilemma
Why is it we can put a man on the Moon but not end world hunger? We create artificial intelligence but cannot find world peace? Is it because we do not care? Or do not know how to do this? Humanity cannot solve its problems with the same consciousness that created those problems.
Question #3:
How must I relate to this world?
2 Journeys
There are two different paths we can follow in life. A horizontal path can help us attain self-fulfillment. A vertical path can lead us to enlightenment.
Story of Enlightenment
What is enlightenment? Is it something we can attain? If so, how do we do that? To find out, read the five chapters of this story.
Circular Journey of Consciousness
Science tells us there is no meaning to life. Our life is a random result of evolution. But what if science is wrong? What if we have come to Earth for a specific purpose? This website helps us imagine how this might be possible.
Resource For Life is just getting started.
Several of these websites are still being built.
