This is where we discover there is poetry in navigating fluid emotional spaces. These are mood movies dancing. Notice the tug of war between stories. Moods fight for control over our organism. The Story of Freedom and our personal significance within its cause is the most rewarding experience on the planet. More powerful than any addiction. The New Movie. Intelligent Design.
The Open Source Language of Freedom to Choose. Your best brings out the best in others.
Personal significance is just that, personal, an individual journey made up of choices, that thru experience that can lead to spiritual significance.
I have chased after “personal significance” all my life. I thought of myself in relation to my job, relationships with family and friends, possessions and accomplishments. When those things were lost to me so was my “personal Significance” and the “who am I now” question can be devastating.
I am not alone in this, I see the same devastating insignificance through out my world and the people in it. There does seem to be some intelligent design, that brings us to a place of humility. Only then can we yield our stiff neck of ideas and include more than the view of ourselves, and see our connectedness to a much bigger movie.
Loneliness is one of those struggles for me. Everyday when that old movie plays I have to chose to tell myself I am not alone, think what you will here, but I choose to go with God. I tell myself that I AM a child of GOD. I AM significant to GOD. This gets me thru most times, but there are times when I go to that sanctuary and forget to close the door to the noise outside. Yet with each connection comes “personal significance that can not be lost.
