A different kind of illusion. The meaning of life.

I just came across this interesting quote from Carl Jung.

In his memoir, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, Jung wrote that meaning comes “when people feel they are living the symbolic life, that they are actors in the divine drama. That gives the only meaning to human life; everything else is banal and you can dismiss it. A career, producing of children, are all maya (illusion) compared to that one thing, that your life is meaningful.”

....what if all those things that are illusion, are the necessities to make you feel that your life is meaningful?  By that token, they should not be dismissed as banal, since they produce the meaningful life.

A bit chicken/egg. but I thought it was worth sharing.
