Why we are here
Why are we here? What does all this mean? These questions have been pondered by every philosopher that has existed. When you live moment to moment doing what you do totally involved or sit and follow the breath with no other thoughts, all these questions become irrelevant and the answer is not important. Note that the Buddha when asked philosophical questions would just sit in silence? Why did he do that? Because pondering and following this line of thinking is a never ending chain. There will always be another question. Drop the thinking and watch the thinker.

Great post and a great blog.
Good to see some other spiritual free thinkers in the blogosphere.
There are a lot of people that spit out the same tired preprogrammed lines and wonder why they are unhappy and continuosly searching.
Keep up the good work, you are one person who "gets it"
I wqould more likely watch the thought as it eddies out of view, followed by another and another, until suddenly it is time to come back and the I (the Ego) has no recolection of where i have been, only the feeling of supreme peace.

Greetings:
An excellent post and blog :)As a spiritual writer, may I commend to you my book, Master of the Jinn: A Sufi Novel. I think you will like it. It has been translated and published in Russia, and will soon be translated and published in Indonesia, into Bahasa, the national language.
You can view the book and read an excerpt at http://www.masterofthejinn.com
In the name of the Merciful, 10% of all profits go to charity.
Peace and Blessings,
