I'd say there is no inherent meaning to life other than the meaning that we create and give to it. There is no purpose to life other than to create meaning. And through creating meaning, higher levels of consciousness are achieved. So maybe you could say the meaning of life is to expand consciousness.

My unappealing answer is the preservation of total living energy, but that means nothing in human terms. Otherwise timeisart has hit the nail in the head I reckon.

There's the answer in a great movie:

 

 

Everything is perfectly explained.

The meaning of life is prolly being reborn from one moment into the next. Its still one big moment tho

The trick is being as mindfull in it as possible, thats where meditation comes in.

Listening to Allan Watts also helped me allot with understanding.

You can't find the exact meaning of it whilst you're trapped in this body, you just can't access it. It's all about the experience and learning to be a sovereign being. Besides many other things

 

Yeah and even all the people who got a DMT breakthrough experience, they might have accessed it in some form, but when you come back you barely remember anything, cause you're-- errr, sort of not allowed to. So just enjoy the fact that life and consciousness will remain somewhat of a mystery on planet Earth  .

 

But to give my thought on few things that probably matter a lot and we (in my opinion) are supposed to discover and learn is sovereignty, discipline and mindfulness. And these are just related to an individual, I'd not take my chances with the collective ones, other than to reconnect with this wonderful living breathing organism we call Earth. But again, just my current opinion.

 

Or maybe it's just 42, or maybe there's none, what do I know

Knowing reality, is to be reality. Trying to understand the objective reality (ie beyond our senses) via our senses is, you'll agree, an exercise in futility.

 

To see further, we must be able to experience reality, *be* in reality. Otherwise all we are doing is describing it through clumsy tools such as language, maths, science.

 

It's a little like, to use a music analogy - digitising a vinyl. You will never replicate the wave, all you will have is many samples of that wave. 

In the end, you have a very realistic looking reality in front of you, but actually, it is just a low-res 64kbps version of reality with jpeg encoding errors and missing blocks.
