"The Meaning of Life & Death" is a special seminar series inspired by Ernest Becker's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Denial of Death." The series comes from footage taken during a day-long session from an Aura Mastermind gathering in New York City. This seminar series explores the themes of life purpose, the meaning of life, the search for immortality, and the significance of death in human psychology and cultures.

This video series was also a bonus component in the 8-week course "Lifestyle Mastery," which examines the purpose of life and many other related issues.

*****

David Tian, Ph.D.: The standard culture solution is this, and this is what we see maybe in your life, the average person's life here, the majority of the world, is to play it safe. They choose standard transference objects, your parents, your boss, your leader, your political leader, your sports team; and they try to be a good provider or a solid citizen.

And then your life had meaning. You're a solid citizen, you contributed to the taxes, you had a good job, you paid your dues. He earns his species immortality as an agent of procreation. He did his duty, and now he popped out some babies. He's an agent of collective immortality. He's achieved immortality collectively by being part of something, a group that's bigger than him, like a country or something.
