What is my reason for living? Why do I get up in the morning? What is the enduring passion of my life? I'm rediscovering my youth. I have indeed found the fabled 'fountain of youth' and it's totally within me. My sister said I look like I'm seventeen years old. To be EIGHTEEN AGAIN isn't that what a lot of people say when they've not lived their life the way they want?

What is ikigai? It is Japanese for our reason for living. It is the reason we wake up in the morning. Finding ikigai requires a very deep, meaningingful path of self inquiry. I guess it's along the lines of self realisation. To know that the first petal of the Thousand Petal Lotus is unfolding is so exciting. See here about the Thousand Petal Lotus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahasrara
I know that I have glimpses of it when I am in church alone meditating. I never have this experience at mass.
