Meaning Making Machines...

As human beings...we are all meaning making machines...

We make meaning out of anything...we make meaning out of everything....we make meaning out of nothing at all...we put meaning in where it actually doesn't even belong...and we sometimes...many times...credit meanings to a place which they have not been earned...

We tell ourselves all sorts of things in our heart of hearts...when we are alone...the things we believe of ourselves to be truths...which we write as scripts when we were children...not the things that we sell to the world about ourselves...our face to the world in a way....because the face the world sees quite often is not the real us but a projection of what we believe the world wants us to be...the best foot forward so to speak...but the things that we believe about ourselves...in the dark...in the corners of ourselves...nasty negative things...the things we actually believe...which at some point in early childhood...for a variety of reasons...we took on as our own personal definition...

A definition that from the beginning...was never an actual truth...but simply a perception...something that we came to believe about ourselves...I'm not likable...I'm not lovable...I'm not worthy...I'm not valuable or "worth it"....and for whatever reason...at the time....the perception seemed real to us...

But the truth is...really....whatever created the belief...was...never...real.....it was never ever real...never a real truth...it was always just a belief...just a meaning that was attributed to some event or statement that somehow transformed in a persons mind and belief system...and they took it into themselves...turned it into their own personal truth...so that their experiences underlined this belief...see?!? I failed!...I fell!...I screwed this up!...I knew I wasn't likable, lovable, worthy, valuable...so one creates defenses in order to help one cope...be strong...survive...but the definition?...was never real...

This was a story...a script....one wrote for themselves...in early childhood...so one's personal definition has come from a four, five,or six year old...and one's actions, beliefs, and experiences...even in adulthood...are guided by the personal definition of a child...

Meaning making machines....

What meanings have you attributed since you started reading this?

See what I mean?

How many meanings are real? How many things do we create meanings in because we "need" it to mean something? How many meanings are there to help us simply feel safe and secure? How much of our meanings actually mean something? I mean...welp...I ask you...what does it mean to you?

The funny thing is...sometimes....it doesn't mean anything at all...and we?....we have to find a way to accept that...because that itself....in and of itself...means something to us.

Isn't it crazy? We are our own worse enemies. I am fully aware of the need to make meaning, and the skewed meanings we make. Yet, even with that knowledge, I am still stuck being human and creating my own chaos with my own meanings and beliefs.

I guess the best first step is to truly think positive. Whenever negativity does seep into our minds we should consciously try to squash it with the positive. I AM SMART, I AM CARING... leave no room for the negative.

Which reminds me of something this guy I was seeing once said. I think it was April of 1998 when someone once told me.. when you feel like you are being overcome with negativity, from inside or out, banish it with love for God. Remember the ultimate good in this world, I love you Jesus... I love you for all your blessings you have bestowed on me. I love you for your goodness... keep these thoughts... and the negative can no longer be inside your heart... there is no room.

I am worthy, God made me so.... :)

This kind of realization could really be an Educational Landmark in a person's life. But then again there are some meanings that we make based on realities one would be prudent to acknowledge. If for instance you have such a lifelong fear of deep water that you shake and pee like a chihuahua at the sight of a wading pool, and you also have no legs, your belief that you might not pass the lifeguard exam might be worth accepting.
