Get the Meaning mug.Each thing has meaning in itself and describes her/his/it's self. Each thing is a living speaking "God," whether it speaks words or not. This is not to be confused with a word or words in an endless meaningless cycle, which are only approximate, biased definitions based on the senses and other words. Meaning unfolds from what has been folded into it in the first place. Things are not born into the universe, they unfold what has been enfolded into them in this one and only infinite dimensional hologramatic universe. (Each thing is in the universe and the universe is in each thing.) Each thing describes what it means and describes the path it has been on for at least the past 50 billion years.
"Edwina was a mute, but you could understand her meaning by her actions, or lack of them, even when she slept." " 'Life' is it's own meaning, and so is the 'universe,' that is why no one can come up with a definition in words to these basic questions of the 'meaning of life' or the 'meaning of the universe,' that makes any sense."

Iam "Oh, I keep forgetting to bring this up but I noticed that it isn't just SEEING meaning and inferring objects. I noticed that I also HEAR meaning. And not just in the context of music. It applies to language as well! That's how I do this (in some part). Because I don't necessarily memorize the dictionary definition of every single word I use (and learn words in dialectic) but when you (or anyone for that matter) speak; I HEAR meaning, INFER words, and then RECALL definition. And while I'm doing this, I'll write what I mean and sometimes there's a question of whether or not I'm recalling the correct definition BUT the meaning remains regardless of whether or not the word I'm using is correct and then I have to find the word that is congruent with the meaning I'm trying to convey! Isn't that fascinating!? I have been sitting on that one for a while.😅 So you both hear AND see meaning. I imagine it applies to feeling as well. So, yeah... Everything is literally 'meaning.' Right? Is that not how that works?"
