What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?

[anagogy]

"For infinity to know itself."

I came up with some convoluted answers in the past but I think that's the simplest way to put it especially in the words of Ra with the first distortion being free will and all.

Why does it have to have a meaning?

To be honest, I think that everything exists, because nothingness cannot.

I think "meaning" is a concept that egos superimpose upon the infinite. Egos need meaning, the infinite does not.

Objectively, there is no meaning. Subjectively, there is whatever meaning we ascribe to our experiences.

As Ra says, "The distortion is not in any case necessary."
