What life teaches us is that existence is problematic, imperfect, and 
amoral.  This is because the subjective self is separated from its 
undifferentiated source and senses only its value.  Ron has almost nailed it 
down.  Being-aware is, indeed, "the act of making that choice...the focus of 
MoQ [the perfect source]...the act of formulating... balancing...various 
patterns across the levels.  What's best [is]...what's best...relative to 
the value judgment."

Experience is the actualization of value.  The role of the individual in a 
relational universe is to make sense of what is problematic, to harmonize 
what is dissident, to make moral what is immoral, and to balance the 
inorganic, social and intellectual factors relative to oneself. Through this 
process we each bring into being a valuistic perspective of that which in 
Essence is Perfection.

In short, there is a simple solution to the existential problem.  All we 
have to do is realize why we're here, and choose accordingly.
