In my last post, I said the following.
“Because if you can’t find the words to articulate your life experiences, how can you possible express them to others?”
That statement is not completely accurate.
I think a lot of the times, what we’re going through doesn’t feel “normal” and that’s why we don’t share it and express it to others.
In other words, we often don’t share the ambiguity and uncertainty of the process, because it feels “wrong,” when it’s the very thing we should sharing.
Why?
Because if we did so, most of us would realize that this process and experience that doesn’t feel “normal” is actually quite normal and a completely natural part of life.
That’s what I’ve realize in rereading Living Myth: Personal Meaning as a Way of Life.
So many of the experiences I’ve had on my journey felt completely abnormal initially, yet they are now beginning to seem completely normal because I’m realizing they are common experiences on this journey.
Here’s is a quick example.
Today when I do something that used to provide meaning and enjoyment for me, yet it now feels hollow and empty of meaning, I no longer feel like something is “wrong” with me.
Now I realize this is an important part of the process itself, one that helps me discover newer things of meaning that I feel that I need and are of value on the next stage of my journey.
This is no different than the feeling of being stuck. It’s just a sign that you are entering a newer stage of psychological development and learning a newer level of consciousness in the process.
So again, many of the things we previously felt were “wrong” and “abnormal” from our old mindset and worldview begin to become “right” and a “normal” part of the process within our newer mindset and worldview we are exploring.
