  1. The Transcended Omniverse

    No reason for our existence

    Alright, I will only keep it to one thread next time.
  2. The Transcended Omniverse

    No reason for our existence

    My life isn't perfect. It is not an eternal blissful life. That is all that matters to me. This is all I came here for. Since nothing else matters to me, then even therapy is useless and I am going to just give up on my family and everything else.
  3. The Transcended Omniverse

    No reason for our existence

    If life isn't perfect and is not an eternal blissful life of no suffering and misery, then there is no reason for our existence. There is no reason to live for one another, love one another, help one another, and to cherish this life. If this is the one and only life we will ever have, then...
  4. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    I am already addressing such thoughts on my own with as much rationalizations as possible. But it is not working. I am telling myself many things such as to enjoy and appreciate this life I have. It isn't working. So how would cognitive behavioral therapy even help then since this is what it...
  5. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Exactly. I am constantly preoccupied (obsessed) with the idea of death. This obsession is what makes my life meaningless and I cannot get away from this obsession no matter how hard I try and no matter what I think.
  6. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    I have mental health issues. I am not your normal functioning happy healthy human brain that can just ignore negative things in life and be happy, enjoy, and find meaning in this life. The attitude of being happy and finding meaning in this life in the face of death is that of a normal...
  7. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    That doesn't work either. I have to literally be alive and happy forever. Since that isn't going to happen, then I am left with this obsessive thought about death that makes my life miserable.
  8. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Some people just really have this negative dominating obsessive thought about death that dominates their lives and prevents them from enjoying and finding meaning in this life. Other people instead have a positive outlook dominating over any negatives. But this isn't how the brain usually...
  9. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Because, to me, it is not life itself that matters. What matters is that I live forever and am forever happy. It is just simply the worst thing to me for me to forever cease to exist.
  10. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    No, it is not. The idea of forever remaining dead is the absolute worst thing that prevents me from enjoying, cherishing, and finding meaning in this life no matter how hard I try to.
  11. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    I would choose the eternal relationship over any other option. Our brains are just hardwired for survival. They just want to ensure our survival. They never want us to die.
  12. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    If I fell in love with someone, then I would find myself saying: "We will be eternal together. We will love each other forever and our love will never die. We will always be together forever. Our love for each other will never grow tired." I would not find myself saying: "Let's just have...
  13. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    You are not concerned with yourself. You dying does not matter to you. It is life itself that matters to you. But if it was instead you who mattered to yourself (your very existence), then the idea of you no longer existing would devastate you. You would then need belief in the eternal...
  14. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Now our brains ensure our survival. They perceive our survival as being #1 above everything else in life. It is for this very reason why an eternal blissful afterlife is so important. Our brains never want us to die and desperately need this afterlife. However, there are some people who are...
  15. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    What I'm saying here is that my love would never grow tired. I could live for all eternity loving someone and I would never grow tired of loving that person. I don't think this desire to live forever in eternal bliss has anything to do with an indwelling God within me. I think it is just...
  16. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    The love I have for others, for example, is something that will never die out. I will never grow sick and tired of that.
  17. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Well, you know where I was trying to get at at least.
  18. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    No, NEVER!!! I will NEVER grow tired of eternity. I am like an eternal star that is bright, hot, and shining with eternal energy that NEVER dies out! I NEVER INTEND TO DIE!!! I WILL NEVER REST!!! I WILL NEVER GROW TIRED!!! MY ENERGY LEVEL WITH SKYROCKET HIGHER AND HIGHER FOR ALL ETERNITY LIKE...
  19. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    I am unable to due to this obsession. The idea of eternal bliss is an absolute need that is built into me. I cannot bypass this need. I cannot escape it. It is always there making my life miserable and meaningless. The only thing that matters to me in life is living in eternal bliss. This...
  20. The Transcended Omniverse

    The need for a grand purpose/meaning

    Or maybe they are just simply not obsessed like I am about forever dying. The idea that I will could forever die one day is a constant obsession that prevents me from cherishing, finding meaning, joy, and happiness in this life. So maybe it is that instead. Maybe others just aren't obsessed...
