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.
