前幾篇神不是才說「意義是從『你所 being 的狀態』湧現的(Out of your state of beingness will meaning spring.)」，為何神現在又說「人生是無意義的」呢？
願意深入檢視和了解這問題的人會從這裡找到相關的解答和啟發，而這過程會讓我們對「生命如何運作」更擴展覺知。
聽神談【為何人生是「無意義」的？】
有些人認為，事情的發生總有個原因，所以他們試圖去分辨那原因是什麼。而其他的人說，某些事是個「徵兆」，所以他們要試著了解那個徵兆在告訴他們什麼。
無論如何，人們就是試圖在找出他們生活中的事件和經驗之意義。然而，事實是，根本沒有一件事有任何意義(The fact is that nothing has any meaning at all.) 。並沒有什麼天生固有的真理(intrinsic truth)被隱藏在生活中的際遇和經驗裡。誰會將真理藏在那裡呢？又為了什麼呢？
如果它是在那裡等著被你發現，那麼讓它明顯一點不是更有效率嗎？如果神有什麼事要告訴你，直接告訴你們豈不容易得多（更別說仁慈得多），而不是讓它成為一個你們必須去解讀的謎？
事實是，任何東西都是無意義的，除了你們給它的意義之外。
人生是無意義的。 (Life is meaningless.)
這是很多人所難以接受的，然而它卻是我最了不起的禮物。藉由讓人生無意義，我給了你們機會去決定任何事物及每件事物的意義。出自你的決定，你將定義自己與人生中任何事物及每件事物的關係。
事實上，這是你們藉之體驗「你選擇你是誰」的方法。
這是自我創造的行為，以「關於你是誰你曾抱持的最偉大憧憬」之最恢宏版本，重新創造新的你。
因此，當一個特定事件發生在你身上時，別問自己它為什麼會發生。而是去「選擇」為什麼它發生、去「決定」它為什麼發生。
摘自《與神合一》第16章
Some people think that things happen for a reason, and so they try to discern what that reason is. Others say that certain things are “a sign.” So they try to understand what the sign is telling them.
In one way or another, people try to find meaning in the events and experiences of their lives. Yet the fact is that nothing has any meaning at all. There is no intrinsic truth hidden in the encounters and experiences of life. Who would hide it there? And why?
If it were there for you to discover, wouldn’t it be much more efficient to make it obvious? If God had something to tell you, wouldn’t it be a lot easier (to say nothing of kinder) to simply tell you, rather than make it a mystery that you had to solve?
The fact is, there is no meaning to anything, save the meaning you give it.
Life is meaningless.
That is difficult for many humans to accept, yet it is My greatest gift. By rendering life meaningless, I give you the opportunity to decide what anything and everything means. Out of your decisions will you define yourself in relationship to anything and everything in life.
This is, in fact, the means by which you experience Who You Choose to Be.
