Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it.
The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be.
Being alive is the meaning.
Going back to yesterday’s Post, if you either watched in full or dipped into each segment of the film, Prophets of Doom – The American Collapse, it would have been impossible for you not to end up pretty despondent about where civilisation in general, and American civilisation, in particular, has got itself.
The film is probably factually well-based, despite the awful style of the presenter, so it would be a perfectly human response to worry about how close to the precipice we are getting.
Anyway, the following evening we watched a wonderful DVD lent to us by John H, Mythic Journeys. Here’s the official trailer. Watch it, but more importantly listen to the words of the soundtrack, they are inspiring.
If you go to the website, as highlighted, then you will read this about the movie.
Own the award-winning spiritual film that has captivated audiences across the country and has been hailed as a “Masterpiece”, “Profoundly Transformative”, and “Life-Changing”!
Mythic Journeys is not your typical documentary. Like a mythological story it is a multi-layered experience, rich and stimulating interviews with philosophers and spiritual leaders are interwoven with a gorgeous animated tale of a king, a sorcerer, and a mischievous corpse. The film takes the audience on a powerful spiritual journey.
But there’s more to it, as the next video clip underscores. It’s this. As Duncan Campbell explains in the video, change is deeply unsettling for humans.
There is no doubt that millions of people across the world sense that we are in an era of very great change. It deeply undermines our security in the future, whether having any real form of emotional reliance on the future makes any sense anyway. But if we let go of the future, as Terry Hershey so competently voiced when he was here in Payson, then we can pray and love each moment of each day.

Changes
Look around the world, what do you see?
Changes coming thick and fast for you and me
Time that whizzers faster than the pendulum swings
Changes are upon us in everything.
I’m sure you’ll agree as you see the Climate change
How everyone comments the weather’s gone all strange
With fires and floods and almighty winds
Changing lives forever as chaos reigns
How many get caught within the game of Life
Embracing the negative that causes such strife
Video games that zap, bash, and kill
Nullifying minds and the Human will
Look around your world and look into the sky
Have you not seen what they spray from on high?
When was the last time you felt really well?
Come on now think! Are you Happy! Can you tell?
Changes are upon us in everything we do
Less Jobs, Higher Bills, Oh and let’s not forget the Flu
Listen well, Changes will never stop
Do you really understand what it is that we forgot?
Have you ever thought about changing the way you think?
Do you not see this is the missing link..
The poor me, the have not’s and the endless moans and groans
Have you not thought to change the record and alter your tone?
Get out of the rut and release the heavy load
That we all chose to carry along our different road
Look around your world what has changes for you?
Have you given up? Or got strong, what do you do?
Changes are a part that makes us move and grow
But we need to change the seeds that we all sow
Look on the bright side see your glass half full
Think brighter thoughts, cast away the dull
If we want the world to change then we all need to see
It starts right here, as we change both you and me.
So Change your thoughts and add a little light
And for once just trust everything will be alright.
