Excellence Reporter: Dr. Goldberg, what is the meaning of life?

Bruce Goldberg: My approach to the meaning of life reflects upon the perfection of the soul and to eliminate the need to reincarnate. By learning our karmic lessons we can transcend this physical dimension and merge with the God-energy complex on the higher planes. This process is called ascension.

Our goal here on earth is to fulfill our natural talents we are born with and avoid the mistakes we made in the past. We must all be big enough to admit our mistakes, smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them. Another aspect of the meaning of life is to leave the world a better place than when we entered it.

We should always strive for a form of psychic empowerment, which I define as taking charge of our life while growing spiritually at the same time. To these ends we must overcome all fears and progress in life regardless of the obstacles presented to us throughout our daily lives.

We must rejoin with our Higher Self and take responsibility for our actions. As long as we use alcohol or other drugs, war, video games, work or sexual obsessions to help us forget our existence that will one day be ended by physical death, we will never attain the State of Grace.
