Nothing objectively means anything. > To me, meaning, profound or otherwise, is assigned: We give meaning to our own experiences. Nothing objectively means anything. ~~~~~~~~~~ But ultimately all is Subjective. When dissolved into Now what is " objectivity " ? In a sense What Is/Now is the ultimate objective and the ultimate subjective, both. But then the notion of meaning " as assignment " is no more, not in Now. And consider this: meaning is the complete absence of conflict. What I am getting at is that " deep meaning " is not a *property* of something. It is inherent in what is Real, in What Is.
