Here is where it gets really serious. The Work says: ’Life cannot be explained in terms of itself’! What does that mean? If you look at the average person’s life, with a long enough view, it doesn’t make any sense at all. People think, calculate, struggle, move, build, ’grow’ children, start countries, fight wars - all within so much pain and confusion!
Those struggles for comfort and safety simply don’t go anywhere. Happiness and satisfaction cannot flower at that ’level of being’ - lived without any reference to what is ’larger than life’!
