Zensatis philosophical Discourse

What is the meaning of life?

Grow old, eat shit, have sex, get high and pump out turd?

Worship an invisible person as your god?

Have temporary relationships with temporary people?

Try and become someone else?

Travel all over a rock floating through space?

Get High and come falling back down?

Try and fit Life into a scientific equation?

Is it really all as simple as that?

This will be my attempt to ask the real questions that matter, and to comeup with the ultimate answer.

two people lay on the ground, one is breathing ,one has passed away, they are both laying on the ground and may look exactly the same but their is a huge difference, one is alive and one is dead.

one body is filled with life energy, the other body has no life energy. So what is this Life energy, where does it come from where does it go to after death. what is this life energys connection to the meaning of existance itself?

Some philosophical treatises are entirely made up of questions.


Of course, the ones that last throughout the ages are the ones that attempt to answer them as well.

"get high" -- I don't think that you need to put this in.

"pump out turd?" -- This detracts from the poem.

Actually, I liked this. You are on a quest, and your poem reflected that.

Look forward to reading more of this and other pieces that you write.

I don't have a problem with get high or most of the others phrases or words used, if there was more consistency in there statements and logic.

However, there is a strong sense of self-inquiry here, and that can lead you anywhere ask.

Zensati, keep at it and you should rapidly evolve your voice!

Good luck.

what is reality? Reality has nothing to do with the past because the past is gone. reality has nothing to do with the future because the future has'nt happened. So that means that reality is in each present moment. So those who live in the past and those who are living for the future are not living in reality. Reality is only for those who live in the present and who fully accept each present moment.

By fully living in the moment and making the most of the potential of each moment one can fulfill the purpose of existance and find the meaning of Life. The meaning of life is a mystery that can be discovered in the present power of each moment.

When one looks at reality like this he can fully embrace and accept every moment of his life. but when one focuses too much on the past or the future he gets lost in the illusion of unreality.

You have the vision, give it a voice!

You are the NOW of awareness, or the awareness of NOW. The perspective you take, at your pleasure. Now the game is minding our motivation, till it is aligned with a greater momentum and we are swept along into the immortality of pure intention.


release me from the past
I humbly beg of you

and except this request
as invitation

to your own experience
of peace


no heart is whole
with one ear to the past

listen intently in the now
allowing both ears

to vibrate the heaven
of these words


I've closed my eyes
to the hell of my perception

and opened them NOW
to the unchanging

unthreatened
reality of heaven


I'm happy we could connect! Peace.

Zensatis favorite Sayings

The Dead know only one thing. That it is better to be alive.

All we ever really have is this moment, and thats all we ever will have.

Less is more.

Live each moment like its your last because you never know when death will arrive.

All living things deserve love and respect.

Go for all your dreams, Its not nice to die with regrets.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Love makes the world go round. not money.

Real success is being grateful for what you have.

This moment is as it should be. Don't fight it.

Its ok to look at the fire, but dont put your hand in the fire.

If you lose something its the universal plan, and if you need something the universe will provide all necessities.

Use it to your advantage. even if something appears negative it can be utilised positively with the right application.
