DOES HUMAN LIFE HAVE EVERLASTING VALUE?

Dr Jordan Peterson once asked an audience how they’d judge the value of their lives as they approached their end.

Mystics can’t answer that one. Their Reality doesn’t include the concept of ‘value’. There are no words, names, no such ‘concepts’ in Reality. Reality just is. It is everything known or as yet unknown. ‘Value’ is a temporary utilitarian human construct.

So while what humans might think is of ‘value’ is perhaps usefully important to humans, it is of no consequence on the highest level of existence of Reality mystics experience.

Human values are human and like all such human constructs vanish when humans die.

There is more to being human than being merely human.

All Is Well.

  1. I have wondered about the ultimate ’value’ before, and I equate it with ‘Reality’. For me ‘what is’, has value, this ‘value’ I see as the ‘is-ness’ of all that is (material and non material), including the essence or ‘being’ of all life. So, this Value of ‘what is’, includes everything that has ever been, is, or ever will be: all that is. This ‘Value’ is absolute (not relative) just as the reality, which is absolute.

    Certainly not confined to humans in any way, except perhaps in their own biased personal view! Not to confuse this ultimate ‘Value’ with the values in context of ethics or morality, which is a human construct, which is clearly relative and depends on the perspective of who is asking (culture, conditioning etc).
