It seems

It seems one of the points of life is to realize that all of your experiences come from within you.... that there IS no outside.

I wonder why you tentatively say "It seems that?" Does this imply you acknowledge an awareness outside of yourself that looks in?

and, susequently, external rewards and material possessions (things that "ground" people)are meaningless?

How do you know that it is not the case that there really is no inside . . . that everything is surface and causality? The Freudian term for the metaphysical state you describe is "psychosis." It is a function of the mind's timorous unwillingness to face external facts that are contradictory to its internal principles.
