You want to know the secret to life? There is none. :-D We must determine it for ourselves. I know that's a little different, and I didn't come up with that myself, but I think it's pretty much in the same ballpark as what you're getting at. Great vid. Peace.
@mojosideburns Agreed. Reminds me of the secret ingredient to the secret ingredient soup in Kung Fu Panda. For something to be special, all you have to do is believe it is special. Yeah, I love animations. If you haven't watched, I highly recommend it. Thanks mojo
@RichardRoy2 I will check that out, I love cartoons, I quit smoking weed but still got alot of stoner in me. LOL. Oh, and I gave you a shout out in my vid "Integrate Your Logic With Your Emotions". Hope you check it out when you get a chance. Peace.
@msknight5 Thanks. I look forward to hearing your take on this. I wanted to tackle the fist one because I thought it was fundamental to the direction a person's questioning would go and how open a person would be to self discovery from that point.
Once you recognize the I. Philosophically speaking its all over, you now know the burden of becoming the I. The I that makes you the I. Once you recognize and acknowledge the problematic I, well then everything is for the sake of argument the I perspective of life your life in general. Great video Richard.
2:25 Well said, Richard! A better question to ask is "Why am I, the way that I am?" a question like that can carry deeply into meditation and can understand as much of "that" question has the potential to change you for the better, if one desires it. This question also creates a birth of wisdom, because the difference between a mature mind an immature mind is this: A mature mind knows themselves and continues to learn about themselves, an immature mind does not, and does not put forth effort.
@Imgoing2LoveYou Thanks, Rich. You said that better than I did. I do get the impression that religion goes a great distance to styfle that investigation by giving false perspectives on the self. They create an illusion of the self as something static and fixed, in my view; I feel many of us are "victimized" by it.

Good, thoughtful video. As always. I think I'm going to have a bash as this myself because, there is a critical problem with those questions.
