Cyber bingo is getting progressively common across the world. After the current smoking ban in pubs and other public places, plenty of well-established bingo haunts have been forced to close - expectably, this brought about plenty of enterprises marketing net bingo as as another option.

I find myself continuing to be drawn back into thoughts about the meaning of life.
Now this is not an article trying to presuppose the meaning of existence of humanity.
Rather this is an article about one man trying to sort out the thoughts that are recently running through his brain regarding what one’s purpose here on Earth is. That is, while we are given our own allotment of time on this physical plane.
Perhaps it’s my own version of a mid-life crisis where my mind is perhaps maturing enough to be able to actually ask these types of questions without spontaneously imploding on itself in an extended bout of black depression.
Nevertheless, I’m still stuck when it comes to even trying to answer a question, or conundrum, like this.
Basically, I think it will all boil down to that I don’t know the answer to this question because the part of me that is asking the question is also the part of me that is trying to answer it. And if I knew the answer then I wouldn’t be asking the question right now. I hope that makes sense.
But, even still, I find recently that to determine what one’s purpose in life is is a rather befuddling pursuit.
For me, I walk to work in the mornings along a sunny Arizona sidewalk and I find myself thinking that I’m just starting off into another day of the same-ol’ same-ol’.
And out of this thought arises the question ‘But really what should one be doing with their days?’
What would be the ultimate thing or activities that I could do with my time here today that would make this day, each day, worthwhile?
And of course this spawns off into other questions such as ‘worthwhile to whom?’ and ‘what kind of activities?’ and other stuff like that.
Let me imagine that I have all the money I need and I no longer have to pursue the elusive goal that everyone else now pursues. Financial freedom. The light at the end of the tunnel.
But just for the sake of this example let’s state that I don’t have to worry about survival anymore. I have enough money to satisfy whatever craving I have or need for my family.
Then what?
What would I do with my day?
Would it be to form a multi-billion dollar company that feeds the needy and takes care of every homeless child in the world?
Would it be to work in a daycare and work with toddlers stuck in abusive households?
Would it be to clean the bathrooms at the local superstore or gigantic warehouse store?
What would give my life meaning right now?
You see, that’s a tough question to answer.
But, let me step back a bit and slow down.
And let’s start at the beginning.
When we’re all very young human beings we have no choice what happens to us as we exist. Whatever happens to us in our parents’ household is their doing, not ours. Pretty much all we do is spend our days fluctuating between going to school and not going to school.
When we get older and graduate from school we go out into the big, wide world and look to get ourselves that ubiquitous j.o.b. That’s what we do with our days.
Over the years perhaps we decide to throw into the mix a spouse, some expensive possessions, and some fancy vacations to exotic paradises.
And then we may even decide to get our own house filled up some more with our own personal priceless treasures. Kids, to be exact.
But what are we doing on a daily basis at this physical age in our lives?
What are we doing? We’re ‘earning a living’.
But beyond that, as we trudge off to work each day, or stay home with the kids, what are we doing each and every day that’s of consequence in the scheme of things?
What is it that makes each day meaningful? Is it raising the kids until they too become adults and repeat the process all over?
Is it to become successful at that j.o.b. we work at or with that business we own? Or is it to make ourselves as happy as we can by watching all our favorite television shows and movies and eating out at nice restaurants and chatting with our best friends. And only doing the things we like to do and take the vacations to places that only we want to go to.
But then there comes ‘old age’. What then? Hopefully we’ve saved up enough money to be financially set so that we don’t have to worry about ‘earning a living’ anymore.
We can sit back. Relax. Maybe go fishing or on other vacations to remote paradises. Or play lawn bowling down at the local community center or play chess in the park. Whatever.
But still, what have we done with our day besides make it ‘busy’? What are we doing with our days as we sit there in our recliner flicking away with the remote controls for the plasma television and surround sound home theater system?
What are we doing that’s of consequence?
If we were to die the very next day, what have we done with our existence since we were little babies? As I documented above, perhaps we did the odd thing that helped other people. Or we served in an organization that helped the needy. Or perhaps we were just darn good parents and raised ‘two wonderful children’. Or perhaps we did the right things and now are grandparents too.
But really, as we’re about to die what is it that we could say we did with our life? With our existence?
Can you see that for the most part, without over-generalizing, we pretty much just ‘did’ things all along the years from birth to death.
Is that what we’re meant to do?
Is that all there is?
Or somewhere in that mix, somewhere along the way, the path to the grave, we may be so lucky to have our days of existence sprinkled with wondrous events that change us inside and elevate our spirits. Be they sights, sounds, memories, happenings, or spiritual teachings.
But, nevertheless, what I’ve described is how generation after generation after generation of human beings go through their time on this planet as part of the human race.
And what does each generation have to show for their time here?
Advances in technology?
More wondrous scientific discoveries?
New breakthroughs in medicine?
Another global war where millions die?
Higher Intelligence?
Another spiritual world leader?
In all seriousness, what do we leave as a legacy for those who follow us along the time-path of human existence?
And what do we do, as individuals, that adds to that human existence path?
And to return to where I started all this questioning…for me, what am I doing that is giving meaning to my existence on this plane and along this physical time-line?
That is the question that needs to be answered and thought about.
And beyond the teachings I’ve read about from some of the spiritual masters - all I’ve culled is that one’s sole purpose in existence is to become a perfect human being. That’s it. That’s all.
But I’m not trying to minimize this statement because becoming ‘perfect’ is a very tall order for most of us. Lifelong, usually.
But, really, think about it. Think of any of the ‘great’ people who’ve existed before us.
Buddha. Lao-Tse. Mozart. Tolstoy. Einstein.
What are they known for? What did they do with their lives?
What did they leave us? Great spiritual teachings? Music? Science?
In the scheme of things these brilliant people were only able to leave as their legacy what they ‘did’ or ‘discovered’ for the rest of us to learn from.
That’s it. Not in a minimizing way. But really, that’s it.
Even the greatest minds and spirits in the world were not able to leave us more than what they were able to personally realize or do in their gifted area of calling.
So, is there any more? Is there anything beyond just ‘doing life’?
I surmise that there isn’t.
I think that it is true. That all we can do is be the best person we can be as we grow older. We live each day to the best of our abilities for that day. We continue to grow in whatever manner we’re able to positively do. And then it all ends for us someday.
But we made the most of this existence. We made the most of our time here on this plane.
We made the most of our allotted days here.
We didn’t just grow old, we grew up too.
Is there really anything more?
After writing this I don’t think there is.
Perhaps others will vehemently disagree and start spouting off about The One and all that stuff. That’s okay. Each to their own.
But for me, I truly still sit here and wonder what there is for me to do on a daily basis as I await my calling to the other side, where we all began and will go to again.
What can I do to make my existence as meaningful to me as is possible?
That is something that I’m still figuring out. And I surmise it will continue to change as I described above. Does that make any one meaning less than any others? No. But it does mean that my meanings will change as my days do.
And right now my primary meaning in life is to be the best father I can be to my boys. And I do this by being the best human being I can be in the world.
But as for tomorrow…
Time will tell.

When looking at society, and seeing the constant hypocrisies, the inconsistencies, the lies, a person can be inclined only towards two mindsets. They will go along with what they see, they will believe what they are told, they will find it awkward that anyone could challenge things the way they are. Or, they will see the outrightly absurd nature of things, they will see the lies, they will see the propaganda, they will see the inconsistency, and they will refuse to believe it. They will cry out for anything but this society — they will seek out reason, logic, truth. Anything that is well-reasoned will sooth their heart, anything that is logically demonstrated will be at peace with their mind. Their life will be transformed into a journey, ceaselessly looking for the truth, wherever it is, whatever it tells us, no matter what must be sacrificed to discover it.
In our society, we find that there are two people. Those who will accept what they are told, will obey authority, will exist in the way that television and radio has commanded them to exist. And there are those who will condemn the way things are, will resist authority, will point out all the inconsistencies and lies given to us. In generations to come, they will be called heroes. In our own time, they will be called instigators. Historians will regard them as the cause to a change in society. Rationalists will treat them as the finest examples of intelligent people. But what is it that they can truly be called? Searching through the expanse of human language, what name can rightly apply to someone who uses their mind? A person without shackles on their mind, without a blindfold on their eyes, without bondage on their heart, without lies in their mind… may be called a Freethinker.
The theory which may be questioned most by any Freethinker, is the theory of the modern morality. By this, I mean the theory of monogamy, that a person ought to only have one sexual partner at one time. But this theory is more than just that. Not only is it a one-sexual-partner ideal, but it covers other ideas. Those who are promiscuous with their bodies are treated as heartless and brutal. A modern moralist will paint a picture of a slut, and every vice will be given to them. They will say that promiscuous lovers are cruel, are merciless, are vicious, will do anything to get sex, they have no values, they cannot understand love, they are beyond the scope of sympathy… A modern moralist will speak such great lies about the promiscuous lover. Yet, they are wrong. I contend that there is no such thing as a human being who is beyond the scope of sympathy, who cannot understand love. Sympathy and love: these are but the most simple, most basic, most true of all principles to any mammal. I have never known a human being who didn’t know the meaning behind tears; I never knew a lover who didn’t know the warm touch of affection; even to those who have betrayed me or otherwise believe me to be a vicious mongrel, I know that they too are capable of knowing the truth of love. To say that a promiscuous lover breaks this very basic, scientific rule — the rule that states that all can know love and sympathy — is to debauch the face of truth.
The modern moralist will commit more crimes against truth. It is believed that the person who is willing to be physical soonest is of the lowest character, and it is believed that the person holding out the longest is the greatest. A person willing to give a kiss on the face to a person who has been disappointed by life, a person willing to share intimacy and kindness through the physical act of love, a person who knows that being a lover means loving — this person will be called a “slut” or a “whore.” But then, there is another type of person… There will be a man or a woman, who will refuse to touch another from the opposite sex, who will look the other way when someone is attracted to them, who will resist any form of affection. This person, who has been taught to be revolted at the thought of sex or physical kindness, will be upheld as a saint, as a “true person of goodness.” These lies that we are told, they sicken me. There was once a time when, with a lover, my fingers caressed the smoothness of her palm, and she kissed my neck. A philosopher who believes in the sanctity of monogamy will look at this, and he will call her a tramp, a slut, a whore. But when I was in the peace of those most cherished moments, I see her angelic face, I feel her soft skin, and in my mind, every trouble is a thousand miles away. For those few brief moments with this lover (who I had known less than an hour), I discovered peace and love. A person who believes in monogamy can speak all they want, they can exhaust the human language as much as they can. But what they say, will never take away the sincerity my lover’s affection, will never remove these memories that I tend to revisit when I loss the peace I once had.
What arguments can I offer? What reasoning can I barter with? When I feel the warmth of another’s body close to mine, when I know the tender caress on my face… what can I say to defend this lifestyle? Call it “promiscuity” or “whoredom,” call it what you like. All the slanders and libels in the world will not detract from the pleasure of it, will not destroy the intimacy of it. When I am looking into the eyes of a lover, I will not be thinking of what they say about me. They will condemn me to hell, but I am deaf to their damnations. They will say I have no virtue, but still, I cannot hear them. So long as my lover is running her fingers through my hair, as my fingertips run down her back, they can say all they want about me, because I am not hearing it. I remember once, as a child, seeing a statue of a man and a woman. The woman was laying back onto the chest of the man, while their hands were met together. It was made by the Etruscan culture. Looking at this statue then, I saw intimacy and kindness. I saw “I feel I can tell you anything.” I saw “When I hear you breath, it makes me live.” I saw the gentle emotions of a lover not wishing to cause any distress… In this small Etruscan statue, I found respect, kindness, and truth. It was only several pounds of clay, but it may have contained the secrets of the Universe.
If there is any argument that can be offered on behalf of Free Love, or Polyamory, or whatever name one desires to give the belief that we should not have one sexual partner — if there is any argument, it is the naturality of sex. Any person who confesses they do not have lust is a liar. And any person who wishes to convince others that their natural lust is immoral, this person is a vagrant. When the passions that exist between the sexes are natural, when they are a normal part of our minds, when they the act of love is simply a bodily function, on what grounds can it be condemned? By playing a sport, or by conversating with a friend, or by putting your sincere thoughts on to paper, a person is using the parts of their body. There is nothing wrong with it. There is no crime in it. No one is hurt. But, when a person all of a sudden decides to use their sexual organs, to please their natural desires, to express affection, to know the depths of intimacy, our moralists will call it a crime! By using our body, as we please, for the ends that we desire, and by hurting no one, they call this a crime! But the search for our soul’s content, the endless journey of spirituality — whether it manifests itself in the arms of your lover, or in the books of the ancients — it has always been condemned by those who were too blind, too ignorant, too set in their ways, to see more than five feet ahead of themselves. The search to know what it means to feel gentle intimacy and friendly kindness, when this search becomes sexual and a person express their desires, the slanders I described above will be put against them.
A man who loves sex will be called a pervert and a woman who hates it will be called a prude. A woman who loves sex will be called a slut and a man who hates it will be called a misguided fool. We are told these lies, over and over, by a society too foolish to think for itself. It has been said by every liberal that freedom means, doing what you will, as long as you do not infringe upon the rights of others. If this is true, if liberty is not a guide but a path to happiness, then by what right can we condemn those who wish to be free form sexual dogma? Why, in fact, deny the natural instincts of one’s own sexuality? When we refuse what our heart seeks out, when we turn away from our desires, when the aching to know the truth that is inside all of us, when it is treated with an anesthetic — at this point, our soul begins to whither, and our spirit becomes something foreign from when we were first born. If all men are born free, then it is by rejecting our true selves that we become slaves to misery and vice. I do not believe, however, that all men and women seek out sex as the greatest good, nor do I believe they should. I believe that a person should look into their hearts, and see for themselves what they want. They should not be afraid of what society calls them. They should not be afraid of how their friends react. They should not be afraid of what may happen by discovering their heart’s desire. Upon discovering what sex means to them — whether it is a great means of pleasure, whether it is the most perfect way of expressing one’s affections, whether it is a combination of these and other ideas — once a person discovers what sex means to them, they should live a lifestyle accordingly.
Just take some hypothetical scenarios… If you were alone with a friend whom you cared about deeply, and you knew there was an attraction between you — and you felt that sex was the greatest way to express your soul — then what would be so wrong about making such a proposition? Feeling the gentle touch of a lover over your body, there is little more that can be seen as perfect security, as perfect tranquility. What then, would you have gained from such an encounter? Memories that will serve you in your darkest times, memories of kindness, peace, and intimiacy; physical pleasure; and knowledge. What would be the benefits of refusing such an encounter, when you know that you longed for it in your heart? I can see little. Peace and truth are the greatest ends of every humane person. There should never be a reason for avoiding the path that leads to these humble desires. I had once heard that a person was imprisoned by the government for oral sex, what the law had regarded as a “Crime Against Nature.” I contend that the greatest crime against nature is refusing what your heart tells you to do, allowing your soul to grow bitter and disenchanted with life.
By this new morality, this idea that it is no crime to rub your face in the neck of your love, to let your fingers speak for your soul… By this new morality, I propose that there should never again be a girl full of tears, because she is lonely but feels sex is immoral. I propose that there should never again be a man frustrated with sex, because his hormones are building up but he feels sex is a crime. I propose that men and women everywhere should throw off the chains of an antiquated morality, of a slavery that kept their heart in bondage. There should never again be a person who compromised the desires of their heart with a vicious society, there should never again be a person who is content with the daemons of loneliness, there should never again be a person who knows the stinging pain of being alone, there should never again be a person doomed to pain — never again should we allow these tears to amount to nothing, never again should we allow these cries to go unheard — I propose that every man and woman should not be afraid of sex, that they ought to do as their heart tells them, as long as they make no one suffer… I propose that our culture adheres closer to the sentiments of kindness and charity, and closer to the principles of truth and reason.

During a pre-natal LaLeche class, I raised a concern about trying to
breast-feed while working. The instructor warned me that my job would
put me at risk for breast-feeding failure.
Then she concluded: “But that’s your choice.”
Fast forward to more than a decade later. A debate rages about the
“choice” of many professional women with children to stay home (For
example, see “The Opt-Out Revolution” by Lisa Belkin and “Opt Out: The
Press Discovers the Mommy Wars, Again” by Cathy Young.). Media
attention to these women raised fears that their actions would feed old
stereotypes that said women didn’t really want to work.
Oh, if only it were that simple!
Few of us have the luxury of free “choice” as we strive to balance career
and family. Many of us find our “choices” severely limited.
My LaLeche instructor didn’t ask if I had a spouse (swollen fingers
prevented me from wearing my wedding ring). How much of a “choice”
is it to work when you’re a single parent? Or when your partner’s job
lacks health insurance or enough income to support the family in decent
living conditions?
Many, many moms — and dads — work out of necessity rather than
choice.
At the same time, many professional women are abandoning the
workplace because of the poor choices available there.
A recent survey of 43 white professional women who had left the fast
track highlighted the scarcity of attractive workplace choices (Pamela
Stone and Meg Lovejoy in “Mommies and Daddies on the Fast Track:
Success of Parents in Demanding Professions,” Sage Publications
2004).
About 90 percent of the women in the survey had struggled with the
decision to quit. A former manager at a public utilities company said:
“What…was so hard was it was like a loss of identity. Ironically, that
Sunday, after I made the decision, the sermon at church was ‘Loss of
Identity because of Loss of Job or Loss of Spouse.’ That kind of clicked
with me.”
Moms who’d left demanding professions — in most cases, male-
dominated professions — cited such concerns as:
*60+ hour weeks with 24/7 responsibility.
*Inflexible schedules.
*Part-time arrangements that ended up being full time.
*”Mommy tracks” that lacked interesting work or chances for promotion.
*Downsizing and restructuring resulting in speed-up and a more
“corporate” culture less supportive of parenting.
Meanwhile, fast-track husbands and a lack of high-quality child care
added pressure from home.
Five women in the survey quit their jobs for “traditional” reasons. These
women had no ambivalence about quitting their jobs and placed a high
value on being with their children full time.
But many of us are working — or not working — because of factors that
have little to do with our values or “choice.” A failure to recognize the
limits on “choice” all too easily leads to false blame or guilt.
Does it make any sense, then, EVER to use the word “choice” when
talking about work/family balance?
Yes — with care.
The key is to be clear about what’s under our control and what isn’t.
The next step is to find resources that help expand our choices. We can
enlist the help of other moms in the same “boat” or hire a coach or
career counselor. We can also connect with organizations (e.g.,
ThirdPath Institute, www.ThirdPath.org) that assist parents and others in
creating flexible work arrangements.
It will take all of us working together to create real choices for healthy,
balanced living.

There are many types of yoga, some with more emphasis on the physical part of the practice and some with a more spiritual approach, some that will make you sweat and some where you’d spend half a class holding the same posture.
There is a type of yoga for anyone!
When choosing a class that’s right for you, you have to consider your personal preferences. It’s perfectly normal to try out a few yoga methods, until you find the system that you feel the most comfortable with.
Ashtanga is a very physically challenging practice, that is based on ethical principles.
Hatha yoga is a classical practice that is a little slower-paced, with more emphasis on held postures. It is well suited for seniors or for people who’d like a more relaxed class, with an emphasis on flexibility.
The popular Sivananda yoga system is derived from the classical hatha.
Iyengar yoga stresses precision and uses a lot of props in class. It’s excellent for people with injuries.
Bikram is hatha yoga, practiced in a heated room. Every Bikram class features the same sequence of poses (every pose held twice) and doesn’t include chanting om, which probably won’t be the most satisfying experience for those who are spiritually inclined. Excellent, if you love to sweat!
Vinyasa yoga class consists of multiple poses, connected by breath. This type of a flowing class is very energizing and physically challenging, so A-type personalities would probably find it the most attractive. The now popular OM and Jivamukti yoga methods feature a hatha-based vinyasa.
