The meaning of life

[livium]

Hello!

You said that physique life exists for us to gain experience.
If the physique life exists for us to gain experience and to learn something, than what can a child who died at birth learn?
Or a blind person, or a child who died at the age of 3 years for example?

Thanks!

G'day,

All these things involve life.

Even life in the womb.

and all life is a learning experience.

These things also greatly affect other people. So in that sense, the life experience spreads like ripples on a pond.

Life is an illusion. Everything is a part of everything else.

It is difficult to get beyond the duality of life, the apparent separateness of each life form, and move into the non dual where everything is one.

But these same questions phrased with a nondual understanding are quite different.

A mother loses a child and says 'why did I allow this part of me to die?' What can I learn from this?'
