Navigating the Treacherous Waters of Meaning

Too hard to starboard, too hard to port;
certain destruction.

What if I awakened one day and realized that "I" have no meaning - that in fact, the only meaning in anything.... is the meaning that I and/or others create and agree upon. There is no inherent meaning -
only applied meaning.

And I mean truly real-ize it. Not just a concept - made real.
Integrated on a cellular level.

What if I really got it, that what drives me, when closely examined,
is ultimately ego-related, ego-serving. What would I use for motivation
without "ego" fulfillment, our most powerful generator of illusion,
meaning and purpose.

What would replace it? What would I discover?

When you put the torch to meaning, purpose, ego, image, legacy, gain and loss, attachment to perception, and immortality -
the hidden void is revealed.

Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.

If you've already leapt into the that unexplored void,
you did so knowing, or at least suspecting that there would be no turning back.

If you haven't yet chosen to leap - Don't.
If you have the capacity to avoid that leap - avoid it...

Run away... Run away...
