What's the meaning of life? (Part 1)


I was having coffee with my friend Glenn at Peet's on Lakeshore in Oakland. A Catholic priest in a long black coat walked in. Glenn said, "maybe we can ask him what the meaning of life is?" I thought about that for a while; and, realized it would be fun to go around and ask friends , co-workers and others for their thoughts on the meaning of life.

Here's the first segment of answers to the question "What is the meaning of life?" Respondents range in ages from 11 to over 70 years. Voices, in order of interview, are Jacob Jr., Glenn, Daniel, and Becky. I'll let you figure out from the sound of their voices how old they are. Enjoy.

Thanks for this! It's interesting to hear different people's responses. I don't think life has meaning. Meaning is something given to things by living creatures, thus I think that it couldn't be a property of life.

Rising from his deathbed Elijah proceeded to write down the oracle of God, as if in a trance the words just flowed onto the page, line after line, precept after precept, until it was finished, and then he rested and let the Spirit work.
Prepare the way. The definitive answer to the meaning of life; was born, a book that was nearly never written, because the enemy attacked most vehemently and it seemed fatally, but the higher principalities and power changed the seemingly tragic course to one of attainment and completion.
LOOK! Here is the book the only way you will know is if you see for yourself. And if you want to see, know this it is because you have been chosen to see the truth, the meaning of your very own life and world.

One critique who said, I do not as a norm refer to things spiritual or of any religion, after reading this book with all its scientific logic, find myself newly excited and looking forward to what is to happen next in my life.

Another critique says: this is the book that every new Christian should read, in order to correctly let them see the beauty of being one with GOD.

Perhaps the average person may view a seven-dimensional world with some scepticism at first, but the world of science offers a rather more tolerant view. Andreas Karch, assistant professor of physics at the University of Washington and his collaborator, Lisa Randall, a physics professor at Harvard, are researching this very subject and writing a paper on their findings. Called the string theory, the indications of research so far suggest that a seven-dimensional or nine-dimensional world is likely to exist alongside our own, but is not visible to humans in their three-dimensional existence. Although still unproved, the fact that there is an acknowledged theory there to research does give the author’s interpretation a whole large chunk of legitimacy. Perhaps he really has discovered the meaning of life?

Elijah says; there are thirteen basic keys to add and increase your wealth, each key operates and opens itself, and enables you to receive the next key of the kingdom of eternal bliss and that is by no effort of your own. These keys give you entrance into the eternal seven dimension creation of GOD.
The keys introduce you to GOD himself and reveal His beautiful name to your very innermost being.
Religion of all kind pales into the insignificance they all so richly deserve.

This purchase is an Investment into your soul, and is one of the most important investments you will ever make; I hope you are chosen to invest.

Love Elijah Benhyodhe
