Distinguish between human meaning, individual meaning, collective meaning, group meaning, and life meaning.

Then distinguish between life meaning and non-life meaning.

Are the answers all the same? Distinguishing gives a chance to see extra layers, and those, perhaps overarching principles and or ideas, even phenomena that are relevant to the question.

Each of these answers as well, let's hypothetically say the final answer is no different for any of these categories of meaning, how is meaning itself formed across each? All of them clearly differ.

What is the constant across all of them however? 

To me, without expressing too much about the subject in this single breath, its psi.

Great topic. Looking forward to others answers.

What I've boiled it down to, is that life is basically a 3-way between consciousness, love, and intelligence. Those are what seem to be the most fundamental factors of life to me.

Thanks for your response!

Meaning of life? …. Someone in my spiritual circle asked me what life was about and as I answered… it turned into a book. I need to upload the audio file for you guys.😳

Those are excellent.

Would you put these into a triad?

What does each one mean to you personally?

How would you turn those three into a practical measurement for each to help another human being?

What it the gain from following your triad? What does it lead to and where do you believe it led from?

Any other themes you notice from any or all of those three you've put forward?

And for the reader in general.

What are questions you could ask to propose other potential candidates?

I have some suggestions.

1. What is able to be expanded endlessly in a sustainable way?
- For example, 'evil' essentially fails this test as it bites its own tail through self-destruction.

2. Across how many categories of meaning is the candidate able to satisfy?
- For example, individual 'power' may satisfy one's own personal category, however it fails many other categories or just simply does much worse by comparison. 

What are other questions a reader believes would be suitable as a litmus test for testing the validity of a potential candidate for the meaning of life, or at least, one of the categories proposed?

Best.

Is the question “what’s the meaning of life ?” Or “ what are your top values “ ?

There is no ultimate meaning of life, but we can make up stories about it meaning numerous things. 😇
