      Ken's teaching quoted above says practice helps us come into a relationship with life that goes beyond meaning.

      David's blog puts forth the idea that from the 'complete stance', meaning can be real but nebulous.

      This is a concern for me because as I continue practice, I find myself in a relationship whose meaning I don't understand. It is troubling.

      I ask about reconciling the two, b/c I want to know what to do with my life in this relationship. In the meantime, I continue to practice.

      Obviously I can’t speak for @kenmcleod, but the passage may be saying that abstract, overall concepts of meaning & purpose are not helpful…

      Seeking to discover THE meaning of life, or even of particular aspects of life, may get in the way of living it.

      Meaning is particularly nebulous in relationships. I use a romantic relationship as a primary example, in fact!https://meaningness.com/nebulosity-of-meaningness …

      Regarding meaningness as meaning & meaninglessness intertwined, and meanings as shifting in and out of focus, allows them to be as they are…

      Which is all we ever can do, because we can’t force meanings on the world. This groundlessness is uncomfortable, but one can get to enjoy it

          Allowing nebulosity as-it-is can help separate pragmatic concerns, for which pragmatic actions may be effective, from issues of meaning.

          My ongoing struggle: balancing resting in the mess/allowing nebulosity as-it-is vs. making life plans and taking necessary effective action

          'Uncomfortable' seems to be an understatement at this point in my practice!
