Mon, 3 December 2007 Today will arrive just as it was ordered, as the parade of your previously held thoughts filtered through your beliefs. As always, there is another way to see, another interpretation. Today ask your I/O how It would have you see today's packages. Be sure to give a listen... Comments[0] |
Sat, 1 December 2007 It’s time to lock on to the real question. Are you more than human or not? Has your ‘human’ convinced you that what you see, and more importantly, what others see, is who you are, or even yet, all you are? Are you still believing that you, the physical, human vessel, are made in the image of your creator or are you still wrestling with the evolutionary story that continues to unfold? Are you content to stay in the life you have been in and let it determine your story, or could there be yet another story to tell? It is the responsibility of every creation myth to establish the beginning. It must allude to The Beginning as well as place us, humanity, firmly in our roots. Should some information come along that changes the meaning of the established origins of our introduction into the story, that information and its implied interpretation risks an inquisition few can withstand. Well, it’s time for a revision, a revealing of sorts, an un-veiling of what was always there just waiting to be seen. An example: Imagine a database of information that appears upon the scene so you can use it to locate places on a map. Clicking on this Map re-Questing information and directions you become use to it and begin to rely upon it as the way to get from here to there. Over time a new, improved database comes along but you don’t use it – as long as the one you are using – continues to work for you. But the new construction site where you live is not to be found in the older version and trying to get directions becomes fraught with angst. Eventually you only go to the new, improved database as you giggle (or google) at its effectiveness. The revised meets the needs. When you arrived here you were told a story that others before you were told about the beginning. You were tested to be sure that you understood the implied and explicit meaning and all the consequences that might follow such a story and its meaning. Eventually, without notice, it became truth, operating on its own as a filter to incoming information and blocking access to competing sources of meaning. And so there we have it – it’s the meaning we give that holds the key. In fact it is that very meaning we seek out to find day in and day out. And find it we do! So, just as the library has assistance in locating material from its collective shelves, or the University has an army of research assistants to seek out its needed information, so too you have an inner network on line 24/7 whose sole function it is to find what it is you are looking for. Are you willing to examine your inner information-gathering systems? And even if you’re willing, are you able to? Will it let you call it into question? Because the meaning of your life is an interpretation and the interpreter is more powerful than you might imagine. Has your inner interpreter become more powerful than you? Does the research assistant author the story? Are you allowing the Inner Interpreter to determine your story? (Did I just hear: “Aye, Aye Captain?) YOU determine what is true for you. You agree to accept as gospel the meaning of any situation presented right before your eyes, and it is that meaning that you are re-producing every moment in your life. Control the meaning and you control the moment. Just ask the media moguls what they think. Nah, don’t bother, just remember – you can choose what it shall mean. That’s right - shall - future tense baby! If you do not call into question your own inner interpretive mechanism that keeps the story consistent with the already chosen meaning then no change can ever occur. But right now, today, you have access to another meaning, another interpreter just waiting to be heard. You may need to suspend judgment momentarily and give your self permission to be surprised, but give it a try. It may well turn out that You are not who you thought you were! Ahhh, pronouns, such a tool for such a fool as I! Category: Choice-Point -- posted at: 8:21 AM Comments[4] |
