It's a step by step program, though.

1. Read The Dancing Wu Li Masters.
2. (optional) Drink quite a bit of Absinthe.
3. (This is the important part) Watch the “Dancing in the Streets” music video with David Bowie and Mick Jagger. Within that video lies the meaning of life.
4. Then go on to try and enlighten everyone you know. To keep it to yourself would be selfish. Some will grow to hate you for insisting that you know the secrets of the universe; ignore them. It is obvious that they have not followed the steps properly. After i learned the meaning of life, i vomitted black mucus for 12 hours. It is impossible to know weather this is a result of sudden realization of the nature of being or excessive consumption of Absinthe.

in addition to that, if i drink more than 8 shots of espresso, i see the face of god. This is especially troubling, seeing as that i don't even believe in god. if anyone else has experienced this, please let me know.
