Disclaimer
This is a book that is based on mentally-based/spiritual(non-material-based) reality,
Spiritually Transformative Experiences(STEs), Near-Death Experiences(NDEs), and the
afterlife. It might not be suitable for you if you are not interested in such themes.
The opinions, perspectives and hypotheses in this book are based on information from
NDEs, vetted spirit/psychic mediums and STEs. They are not meant to be taken as
measurable evidence, and are yet to be proven true.
This book is not meant to offend anyone by mentioning and explaining the terms of
negativity, negative people or other related terms — negativity is a very basic human quality
and serves a very important purpose in this reality. The mentions and descriptions of
negativity and negative people are meant for discussing psychological concepts related to
the meaning and purpose of life, such are not meant to denigrate negative people in any
way. Everyone is always doing the best with whatever they have, and behaves in a certain
way due to causes-and-effects, no one is truly to be blamed for being negative.

The purpose of this book is to focus on explaining the truth rather than to offend anyone.
Please do not be offended if you are/were a negative person. My thoughts about negative
and positive people are based on my own life experiences and are of my own opinions,
perspectives and hypotheses. Such a personal interpretation might not accurately reflect
their true characteristics.
This book explains the nature of negativity as part of a discussion about a hypothetical
meaning and purpose of life, it does not promote the seeking of extreme negativity for any
reason. Negativity can be very unpredictable and dangerous, contact with it should be
avoided.
The information in this book is not meant to replace professional psychological and medical
advice, it is not meant to professionally diagnose or treat any medical or psychological
condition.
You should consult a medical professional immediately if you require psychological or
medical assistance. Do consult a therapist trained in treating post traumatic stress
disorder(PTSD) if you suspect yourself or other individuals to be suffering from trauma or
anxiety.
Please stop reading immediately if you experience distress by the contents of this book.

“The first step to unconditional love is to imagine ourselves in
others’ position”
“The second step to unconditional love is to realize that
everyone is always doing their best with whatever they have”
“The third step to unconditional love is to realize that we are
truly not who or what we currently are but
mentally/spiritually(non-materially) the same consciousness
from the same source, actually helping one another to evolve”

Introduction
This book contains many new concepts that support my included hypothesis that answers
the huge meaning and purpose of life question, as well as explains many related big
questions of life such as:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Why should we care about the things and people in this reality?
Why carry on living and resolving daily imbalances in this reality?
How do we get through extreme negativity, fear and suffering?
Why is there a mystery about the meaning and purpose of life?
Why are we experiencing this negative reality instead of some other positive reality?
If souls and God are all-knowing(and can see into the future) and knew that souls
would not like this negative reality, then why did they still allow souls to come here?
7. Why does God allow such a negative reality to exist?
8. Why are we pretty much left on our own without much mentally-based/spiritual
guidance and response to our cries for help?
9. Is this reality a dream-like simulation?
10. What is the nature of negativity and positivity?
11. What is the reason for extreme negativity and fear to exist in this reality?
12. What is the reason for extremely negative people to exist?
13. Why do people have bad and biased judgment?
14. Does a place of deeper negativity — such as Hell — exist for negative people to
dwell in?

15. What is the purpose of suffering?
16. Did Nazi concentration camps had a spiritual(from God, non-physical-based) reason
to exist?
17. If we could guess that life on Earth would be negative and fearful, why did we still
come here to suffer?
18. Were we tricked or forced to come to this reality?
19. Why did other souls not warn us not to come here?
20. What is the reason for different sexual orientations to exist?
21. Why do some people have very good lives and others have very miserable lives?
22. Why are there such poor children with disabilities and terminal illnesses?
23. Why are there people that are very loving but also people that are very evil and mean
to others?
24. Why is there duality in this reality?
25. What is the purpose/function of duality in this reality?
26. How could some parents be so mean to their own children instead of being caring
and loving like they should?
27. Why is there mortality?
28. Why could there be a need to reincarnate?
29. How could we be free of reincarnation?
30. What is the thing that the soul could actually be evolving?
31. How can we evolve our souls?

8


32. What is the reason for NDEs(Near-Death Experiences) and STEs(Spiritually
Transformative Experiences) to occur?
33. Why are NDErs told to focus on love — what has love got to do with the meaning and
purpose of life?
34. What is the true nature of love?

35. What is the undisclosed ‘work’ that NDErs are told to do when they get back to their
human lives?
36. Could soul evolution even go beyond love?
37. Why does fear exist?
38. What is the nature of fear?
39. Do we need to confront our fears to evolve our soul or just escape from them?
40. What is the nature of time and space(dimension)?
41. What is the nature of consciousness?
42. How can we evolve consciousness?
The ultimate meaning of life question is actually related to these 42 big questions of life. To
successfully answer the ultimate meaning of life question, we also have to answer the 42 big
questions of life that go along with it.
In my research, I have discovered the important function of negativity that is related to the
meaning and purpose of life.
As you read through the chapters of this book that is based on my 20-year research, you will
be introduced to many new concepts in consciousness and psychology that will logically
answer all of the 42 listed big questions of life.
This book does not only explain the meaning and purpose of life, it also teaches you on how
to fulfill it. The information in this book can assist you in your soul evolution.
There are currently over 20 geometric diagrams in my current research to facilitate easy
understanding of the many new ideas and concepts(I made the simple ones myself). If you
want some guidance on how to live life in this negative reality, this book might be a very
good start.
You will definitely get a solid and logical answer to the question of the meaning and purpose
of life, you will not waste your time and energy reading this free book.
***
My research to find the meaning and purpose of life is based on finding a possible answer
based on the highest probability, as I do not have direct access to the truth — so do not
assume that the answer explained in this book is the absolute proven truth.
I think that anyone with a functioning human brain is qualified to think and discuss the

meaning and purpose of human existence, but such thoughts and discussions have to make
logical sense.

This book is based on my independent research of 20 years — 16 years focusing on the
research of consciousness development and existentialism(the meaning and purpose of life),
and the final 4 years focusing mainly on the research of the following: the
mentally-based/spiritual(non-material-based) reality, Near-Death Experience(NDE) and its
purpose, the mentally-based/spiritual(non-material-based) meaning and purpose of life, the
purpose of the Earth reality, the nature and levels of consciousness and negativity, the
current negative imbalance in the Earth reality, how to resolve negativity, higher
consciousness development, the true nature of unconditional love and how to achieve it, the
nature of forgiveness and how to achieve it etc. The first 16 years of my research has greatly
assisted me to understand and complete the following 4 years of research in the more
complicated mental-based/consciousness/spiritual(non-material-based) field.
I worked almost everyday for my research, thinking about my research as soon as I woke up
from bed and while showering and on the road, using a lot of brain power to process
complex information. I rarely took a proper break, even working on my research on
weekends. Even when I took breaks from my research and did things such as cooking or
walking, I was still using occasional fleeting moments to think about new concepts in my
research. It was not fast and easy for me to get to my current level of realization.
During the time of my research, I had to venture into much uncharted territory, it is unlike
studying old material with information already presented in front of you.
In my research, I have managed to put together various
mentally-based/spiritual(non-material-based) clues to work out the soul's purpose on Earth,
discovered many new mentally-based/spiritual concepts, and developed techniques that can
fulfill the consciousness’(soul’s) purpose while resolving the common obstacles that many
people face. I have managed to put together and perceive the big

mentally-based/spiritual(non-material-based) picture, which can answer many of the
important questions of life found in this book.
I believe that higher spirit beings have given us many
mentally-based/spiritual(non-material-based) clues to guide us in our purpose on Earth; the
NDE is probably the most prominent one besides STEs(such as the appearances of
non-material spirit beings in our dreams). Many of such mentally-based/spiritual clues could
have formed the teachings of various religions formed throughout history.
I did not copy my research results from any movie. I listed out the major components of this
reality and the verified mentally-based/spiritual components, and then assembled the
relevant components in a way that makes the best logical sense.
I am aware of many types of cognitive bias and I avoid making them in my research.
Claiming something to be true is very easy, proving it to be true is a different matter
altogether. Even though I had a hypothesis for the meaning and purpose of life, I had to work
on explaining clearly to the common layman on how it can be true and logical, getting them
up to speed on information decades ahead of their current knowledge. We all can easily
assume certain things to be the purpose of life, but for my hypothesis to be logical, I needed
to show the clear connectivity between my hypothesis and the relevant main components in
10


this negative reality — such connectivity lies the framework for the answer/solution to the
purpose of life question. This is similar to how we do math equation proofs by showing the
connection for how an equation leads to a certain answer.
You can test the information in this book to see for yourself if my perspective of the big
mentally-based/spiritual(non-material-based) picture is logical enough to withstand your
critical judgment. The information and techniques in my research have also worked very well
for my own mentally-based/spiritual(non-material-based) development.
I wrote this free ebook in order to share the important information with anyone who needs it.
I feel that such a book has to be freely available to anyone because it can have a
tremendous impact on the lives of many, especially for those who went through

extremely-negative life circumstances like I did and want to know what life on Earth is all
about.
The information in this book might not be well-received by everyone, as not everyone went
through my life experiences in order to respond positively to the information as I did, but it is
this information that helped me in my own life so I think it holds much value and importance.
And I hope it can also help those who went through similar negative experiences.
I started to organize the material for the second-latest phase of my research 6 months
before the pandemic started in 2020. The stay home measures during the pandemic
allowed me to focus better on my research. I then got to advance to the latest phase of my
research a couple months before the end of 2021 where I got to unify the major themes in
my research, and then finished the main contents for this book at the end of March 2022. My
research findings gradually became more and more complex, important information kept
getting uncovered, which is why I am still editing other parts of the book. Editing can mean
both adding and removing material. New researched information keeps appearing everyday,
but I have to stop editing the book or else I would never get my research material out to
people.
Chapter 1 in Part 1 of the book has very interesting knowledge. However, Chapter 2 to 10
has even more interesting and much more complicated knowledge.
If you think that Part 1 of this book makes logical sense, you could then opt to read on future
parts of the book. If you disagree with its contents, you can save time by not reading future
parts.
There are a total of 7 parts that form the entire book. The 7 different parts of the book
contain different main themes:
Part 1(Chapter 1) — My methodology used for finding out the meaning and purpose of life.
Part 2(Chapter 2, 3, 4) — Finding the necessary exotic information for running my
methodology to determine the meaning and purpose of life.
Part 3(Chapter 5) — Showing how my hypothesis about the meaning and purpose of life
comes together, and the nature of this reality and our human selves.
11

Part 4(Chapter 6) — The important function of negativity and negative people in relation to
the meaning and purpose of life.
Part 5(Chapter 7 to 8) — In-depth methods for fulfilling the purpose of life.
Part 6(Chapter 9 to 10) — The nature of fear and how to resolve it.
Part 7(Chapter 11 to 12) — Summary of all the major themes in my hypothesis about the
meaning and purpose of life, and how I go about in my daily life knowing such knowledge.
Whenever my research uncovered a new concept, I had to study and understand it very well
before I could uncover a related new concept, and the process went on for many cycles to
uncover all the concepts currently found in the book. I also had to constantly play devil’s
advocate and bring up a wide range of critical questions to thoroughly examine my own
hypothesis. The entire research required so much brain work, time, and money; I often
needed to rest from the frequent mental exhaustion.
I did everything in my research as fast as possible whenever new knowledge became
available, so do not blame me for not producing this book much sooner, I am barely able to
survive the demanding physical, mental and financial challenges of this reality, and there is
much negativity in my own life that I have to resolve and get undistracted from.
As this book deals deeply with concepts strongly related to geometry, physics, biology,
psychology, cognitive science, consciousness, philosophy, logic, linguistics(and vocabulary),
and spirituality(non-material-based, mental, spirit and afterlife) — those with basic
understanding of such branches of knowledge could have a faster and better understanding
of the many new concepts being introduced in this book. The answer to the question of the
meaning and purpose of life requires a broad mind to understand it.
This book is dealing with explaining the meaning and purpose of life to readers, as well as
explaining how to fulfill the purpose of life. It goes without saying that readers will require a
considerable amount of intelligence to understand the information in this book. Not everyone
who reads it might be able to fully understand it.
This book is also more easily relatable and understood by those who have experienced
NDEs and STEs. However, it was also written for those who are new to such phenomena.
The main focus of this book will begin in part 2 of the book in the middle of Chapter 4, and

the more complicated concepts will begin appearing in Chapter 5 in Part 3 of the book. The
information in earlier chapters will prepare one to understand the explanations found later
on.
There are about 16,000 words in part 1 of the book, which can be read within a day. There
are currently over 170,000 words from all 12 chapters of the book. There can indeed be
many words, but these are words that are used to describe the complicated meaning of this
human reality and its purpose. You will definitely get a solid and logical answer to the
meaning and purpose of life in this book. If you can process and understand what I have
12


written, you would have gained very much of my own perspectives and understanding of the
meaning of life and its purpose.
In this book, I explain many new concepts from my research in a linear fashion from the
beginning chapters to the end. Many of the core concepts are mentioned briefly at the
beginning chapters and then fully explained in the ending chapters of the whole book.
Because I cannot connect all the related information in the book into a 3-dimensional
structure but only in a linear format, I would have to repeat some information in order to link
them to other new branches of information.
You might want to take notes of the new concepts and their corresponding page numbers as
you read through the book; taking note of the pages that answer certain big questions of life
that you are interested in, because the book can be quite a mentally-taxing and
time-consuming read and you might not want to re-read the whole book too many times. For
the points that I marked in bold to reflect great importance, you should note them down for
reference.
The meaning and purpose of life explained in this book is quite complicated, so I made a
summary in Chapter 11(which would be found in a future part of the book) for easier
understanding and quick overview, which references all the new concepts and over 20
diagrams from all parts of the book.
Even if you do not agree with the book’s information, it can at least be helpful for you to put

together your own perspectives for the big picture of life.
The need for people to know the exact and true meaning and purpose of life has grown to an
increasingly higher level through time, due to the increasing huge imbalance of
negativity(disconnectivity, oppression) on Earth.
We need to know the purpose of negativity, fear and suffering because humans need to
establish the mental connectivity to understand negative dysfunctions in order to cope with
them, otherwise the instability could cause great disruptions to life and lead to mental and
physical breakdown.
I think many people do not want unsatisfactory short-sentence answers to the big meaning
and purpose of life question, they want a long detailed answer that can be convincing
enough, which involves explaining the big picture of life that can also answer many other
related and important questions of life — even better if the answer can provide details on
how to navigate and overcome the various obstacles related to the ultimate goal. We all
want to climb up the tallest tree so that we can understand the entire landscape well-enough
to know all of the paths that we could take on.
We really do need the answer for the meaning and purpose of life for many reasons:
1. To know if life on Earth really has a worthwhile purpose and that Earth is not a
random occurrence or cruel experiment.
2. To judge if the meaning and purpose of life are worthwhile for us to continue facing
the negativity on Earth.
13


3. To know what is the highest goal of life that we can reach to stretch ourselves to the
fullest.
4. To ensure that we know the correct direction to fulfill the purpose/goal of life.
5. To have proper guidance to stay on the right path to fulfill the purpose of life.
6. To have something important, meaningful and worthwhile to do with our time.
7. To motivate us to live our lives and do the right things that contribute towards fulfilling
the life purpose.

8. To help us deal with additional negativity that we could encounter in our future.
9. To avoid missing the goal but fulfill it if it really does exist, which could prevent our
same individual consciousness from reappearing on Earth in the
future(reincarnation).
For those who lack the will to live in this reality, I hope they can read this book and find the
will to do so, in spite of all the negativity and suffering in the world, and accomplish the
purpose of life that our consciousness is put on Earth for — my research strongly indicates
that there really is one.
Every literary work that is produced in Singapore is automatically copyrighted, but I give
anyone the permission to copy and send this book file to anyone without modifying it in any
way.
There is a paypal link at the end of this book for anyone who wishes to contribute to my
financial and physical well-being, it can also support any further research. Negativity has
devastated my life and I am still in the process of gaining back financial stability. If you
eventually find this book helpful for yourself and others, do consider making a contribution.
Thank you and good luck understanding this book.

Chapter 1
My Methodology for Finding Out the
Meaning and Purpose of Life on Earth
My Research and Its Beginnings
It was during the early adult years of my life when I was putting my life back together after
experiencing severe negativity, that I started my research to find a way to properly
understand and deal with this complicated reality. I managed to put together a technique for
perceiving more true meanings in reality in order to enhance my consciousness. This
technique eventually led me to use a suitable methodology to perceive and understand the
meaning and purpose of life on Earth.

There is an old saying that necessity is the mother of invention — it is very true.
I came up with a simple algorithm to execute the steps for putting together information to
determine meanings. I called it “IFIAM”. It stands for Identity Formulating, Identification and
Assigning Mechanism. The first step of Identity Formulating would condition and prepare
consciousness to begin the determination of meanings. The second step of Identification
would search for similar patterns of the target from memory that could suggest the target’s
identity. The third step of Assigning would search and assign additional related information of
the target from its proximity.
Many people unconsciously use the techniques of the IFIAM to deduce possible meanings of
things in their everyday life. Sometimes they lack much information to deduce a logical
answer but end up with a biased one. For me, my deduced meanings have to be
well-substantiated and free of bias as much as possible.
The ability of our consciousness to perform the IFIAM algorithmic instructions is crucial for
early civilizations to develop. It allowed early humans to formulate identities(meanings) in
objects' complex geometric patterns to be grouped separately for their individual purposeful
roles(tools, food, herbs/medicine, poison etc.). It also allowed for more higher-complex
behaviour identification(hostile or friendly people, suitable or unsuitable skill sets in people),
and to discover new related qualities of each group of identities to strengthen their existing
individual function(better tools, nicer food, stronger medicine, better skill sets in people) to
cope with more demanding life challenges.
I used this algorithm to develop my consciousness for many years before I got to move on to
the other advanced stages of my research.
To determine conclusions, I often use the logic and probability that a causation will lead to
either one or the opposite effect. For example, the consumption of a certain food ingredient
will lead to either a healthy or an unhealthy effect in the human body.

15


In this first chapter, I will explain to you what my research has uncovered to be the structure

of meaning and purpose, so that you will be able to use such knowledge to recognise and
understand the meaning and purpose of life when you get introduced to it in a later part of
the book.

What People are Asking Within The Meaning of Life Question
When people ask about the meaning of life, they could be asking about a few different
things:
1.
2.
3.
4.

What is life on Earth all about?(why am I here?)
What does this current Earth reality exist for?(what does it all mean?)
What could life on Earth produce?(function, purpose)
What is the purpose of negativity and why do we have to experience it?(suffering)

When people ask about the question of the meaning of life, they mostly want to know the
reason and purpose of why their consciousness was put into existence in this reality that
contains so much perceived meaninglessness, negativity, fear and suffering.
My definition of “life” from my research is defined as consciousness. People are defined to
be alive when they have consciousness.
The meaning of life question is asking about the ultimate and objective purpose of life for
every person — about why our consciousness has to exist in this Earth reality instead of
existing in some other reality.
If there really is an ultimate purpose of life, then there should already be an existing
framework within us or/and this reality that would support such an important ultimate
purpose. And if we can find and use any clues with a suitable methodology to narrow down

the answers to the meaning and purpose of life by matching them with the characteristics of
the existing framework, we could end up with a list of possible answers, or even end up with
one singular correct answer to the meaning and purpose of life question itself.

The Difference Between Meaning and Purpose — What Forms the Meaning of
Something?
When dealing with the question of the meaning and purpose of life, we have to be very
precise in what we want to know about it and how we word our questions for such queries.

16


Before we can figure out the meaning of life, we have to first understand what the word
“meaning” actually means — a linguistic problem. We also have to properly discriminate
between the words “meaning” and “purpose” and identify their different true identities.
There is indeed a big difference in what the words "meaning" and "purpose" can represent
differently on a fundamental level.
In my research, I have determined that the meaning of something is based on the
interacting relationships between its related components in reality that brought the
something into existence. The meaning of something is based on the interactions of its
related components in reality(that can also be referred to as “perspective points” in reality,
as the many components of reality form our many perspective points in reality).
The meaning of something is formed by the relationships of different components’ qualities
that are combined/connected together. The combined qualities of all the components
connect/combine to form one huge and new quality. The saying that the whole is more than
the sum of its parts refers to this new quality.
(In the very beginning of this chapter, I mentioned that I use an algorithm called IFIAM that
connects together meanings for me to perceive them.)
The meaning of a sandwich is based on the relationships of different component qualities
that are placed/connected/combined close together. The combined qualities of all the

components connect/combine to form one huge and new quality. The saying the whole is
more than the sum of its parts, refers to this new quality.
When people ask the question of, “what is the meaning of this?”, they are asking to know
how one thing relates to another thing — they want to know the relationship/connectivity of
“this” to this reality. Meaning is found in the relationship connectivity between things.
The feeling of meaninglessness in life is the feeling of the lack of connectivity to the major
components in reality.
We could feel the meaning in the tasks that we do, when we feel the tasks’ connectivity to
many related components in reality.
The meaning of life is formed by the relationships of different components’ qualities that are
connected together, such as mortality, negativity, happiness, fear, suffering, challenge,
fulfillment etc.

17


The interactions between the related components in reality(meaning) would produce an
imbalance — purpose comes from the resolving of this imbalance. Even small imbalances
that seem to be unintended(such as eating a banana), could possibly be part of a grander
imbalance for a grander purpose to be resolved and generate a desired grander and
balanced outcome(product). In this book, I hypothesize that there really is an intended
meaning and purpose of life in order to explain my hypothesis.
The components used for determining a target’s meaning have to be separate and distinct,
the locations of the components also need to be separate and distinct. We cannot determine

18


the meaning of the target based only on the one sole component of the target — we need to
have other related components from separate locations to perceive the interactions between

them and the target, to bring out their relationships in order to determine the meaning of the
target. For example, the meaning of a dinner table can only be known by perceiving its
connections and relationships with its related core components such as the food plates
on its surface and the chairs placed nearby with humans sitting on them to eat food. By
establishing such connections that reflect on the components’ relationships(meaning), we
can realize that the meaning of the dinner table is to act as a support for placing food to
function as an eating station for people to gather for meals in order for them to
resolve(purpose) their hunger(imbalance).
The components for determining meaning have to be separate and distinct, the
locations of the components also need to be separate and distinct.
To determine the meaning of the dining table, we need to know about the other separated
components such as the food plates and the chairs, in order to perceive the relationships
between the separated components to determine its meaning — we cannot determine the
meaning of the dining table based only on the sole component of the table itself.

The Difference Between Meaning and Purpose — What Forms the Purpose of
Something?
To reiterate, the meaning of life is based on the relationships between the related
components of life. The relationships between the related components of life
generates an imbalance — the purpose of life is based on resolving such an
imbalance.
The meaning of a word is a grouped alphabetical representation of the information it
contains. Such a grouped alphbetical representation was created based on an imbalance(to
convey information) to be resolved(purpose). The purpose of a word is to convey its
represented information, and also to form sentences to be used in longer conveyances of
information.
For doing something that feels meaningful, you would have to feel that doing it would have a
strong connection to its many related components. For doing something that feels
purposeful, you would have to feel that doing it would resolve the imbalance generated from
its related components.

It is more accurate to use the word purpose if we want to know our function in this reality,
rather than use the word meaning that would focus on our connection to the main
components of life and the nature of such components. However, we need to know and
understand the meaning of life before we can know and understand the purpose of life —
therefore using the word purpose for writing our first question for knowing an ultimate
question about life can seem premature.

19


The word purpose reflects the presence of imbalance and resolution of such imbalance
to generate a balanced outcome(product).
All kinds of purposes contain both a generated imbalance and the resolving of the imbalance
to generate an intended product. For example, the purpose of a medical doctor exists due to
the imbalance of sick people — and fulfilling such a purpose would generate the intended
product of healed people. Another example is the purpose of a supermarket that exists due
to the imbalance of hunger in people — fulfilling the purpose of the supermarket would
generate the product of satiety in people.

When people ask if we do find/perceive purpose in a certain job, task, or life — such a
question actually involves whether or not we can resolve the imbalance generated from the
related connected components of a certain job, task or life.
The purpose/function of something is formed by the imbalances of related components'
qualities that are combined/connected together. The combined purposes/functions of all of
the related components can combine to form one huge and new purpose/function, just
like the singular purpose/function of a sandwich is based on the many imbalances of
different ingredient qualities that are placed close together. The saying the whole is more

than the sum of its parts, refers to this new function/purpose.
When we ask about the purpose of something such as the purpose of life — the purpose of
life is formed by the combined(and overlapping) imbalances of the different relevant
components that are connected together — we want to know about the type(what kind of
imbalance) and range(level) of combined/connected imbalance that exist along with
such a purpose of life, where resolving such a combined imbalance(of the purpose of
life) would generate the final product.
In the question asking about the ultimate purpose of life, we want to know the ultimate
level of imbalance that we need to resolve in order to fulfill the ultimate purpose of life.
Could such ultimate imbalance be related to the existence of extreme negativity in
this reality — the type of extreme negativity in suffering that prompts many people to
question the meaning and purpose of life?
A great imbalance coming from an unknown foreign source to fulfill a specific purpose of
life(product) in this Earth reality could have resulted in a great imbalance observed in this
Earth reality. By resolving this resulting great imbalance observed in this Earth reality, we
could fulfill the ultimate purpose and generate the intended product for the purpose of life.

How Meaning is Closely Connected to Purpose
The meaning of something coexists with an imbalance(no matter how small or big), where
resolving such imbalance would form the something’s purpose/function. The meaning
between two components is linked with a level or levels of imbalances(purposes/functions). I
have made a diagram posted below to illustrate this.

21


The 2 connected points represents two past moments in a person’s life in this reality. Within such a
meaning(relationship) between the two moments in time, comes with levels of imbalances(represented by
curves) underneath between the 2 points, representing different levels of purposes that can be resolved.

Two connected perspective points in reality(components) form a branch of
meaning(relationship), which creates an imbalance(underlying curve) that represents its
underlying purpose.
If a person desires to eat a banana, such a desire creates an imbalance being represented
by a curve at the bottom of the connecting line between the two components of the person
and the banana.

How a New Purpose and Meaning is Formed
Purposes and meanings can be formed when their necessary components are formulated
into connecting relationships with intention.

Is a purpose formed first before its meaning, or is a meaning formed first before its purpose? My research
currently indicates that they are both formed at the same time.

When 2 components in reality are formulated to be connected with intention — such as you
and your desire to eat a banana — an imbalance(curve) is generated between the two
perspective points(components). Resolving such an imbalance between the 2 perspective
points(components) would develop the connectivity between the 2 components to form a
strong meaningful relationship. Without resolving any new imbalance, new connectivity
between new perspective points(components) cannot form strong meaningful relationships.
All kinds of big or small meanings are formed/connected with big and small
imbalances/purposes. Even if we only want to be aware of a new thought, such would
involve an imbalance(underlying curve) for something unknown to us that we want to know
about.
A deeper imbalance(negativity, dysfunction, incompatibility) would create a greater level of
purpose along with a greater/stronger connecting relationship(greater/stronger meaning).
Resolving deep levels of imbalances with good friends can develop great/strong meaningful

relationships with them. A life that contains deep levels of imbalances to resolve, can create
great meaning(connecting relationships) after we resolve such deep imbalances.

How Purpose is Closely Connected to Motivation/Motive
A great imbalance to be resolved has great purpose and has the potential to develop great
meaning(connectivity, relationship), such a great imbalance(purpose) can generate
strong/great motivation for one to resolve such a great imbalance(purpose).
Imbalances in reality can pose great threats to our physical and mental livelihood, we as
human beings are naturally motivated to resolve such imbalances in order to preserve our
survival.
In order to be greatly aware about new thoughts/perspective points/components found in
new purposes, they need to come with great motivation(from related imbalances) in order
for us to be greatly aware of them — such is true for studying and learning something new.
We are motivated to be greatly aware and learn new things if they are associated with great
imbalances that we need to resolve quickly, such as we being motivated to learn where to
buy food because such a goal is associated with our great immediate need to resolve
hunger(great imbalance).
Any great imbalance would create disturbances/dysfunctions that would trigger our attention
to be aware of it. The great urgency to resolve the imbalance would motivate us to quickly
resolve the great imbalance.
In order to think and be aware of something, we need to realize and be aware of its
corresponding imbalance(purpose) to support such a new thought to establish great
presence in our consciousness.
To realize the purpose of life, we need to find and know about the deepest ultimate
imbalance that exists between the major connected components of life that form its meaning.
To realize our need to resolve the many shallower(seemingly mundane)
purposes(imbalances) in our daily lives, we need to realize how resolving such shallow daily

purposes(imbalances) would contribute to resolving the deepest ultimate
purpose(imbalance) of life.
When police investigators consider any possible connection(meaning, purpose) between a
suspect and a crime, they are considering if the suspect has established(through desire) any
possible imbalance between it and the crime(purpose) that it needs to resolve, which could
form the suspect’s motive for establishing any further connectivity(meaning, relationship) to
the component of the crime.

Using The Structure of Meaning to Determine The Structure of Truth, Lies and Bias
I have a methodology for determining truths, which uses the same framework for
determining meanings of things by tracking the connectivity of their related components.
