Significance: The Meaning We Give To Life

Nothing means anything in and of itself. Everything becomes more or less influential in life based on the meaning or significance we place on it. 

These are the notes from this series of revelations from meditative and introspective experiences:

– We create limitations to have an excuse for not accomplishing something. This may include physical ailments, relationships, or other circumstances in life.

– We make ourselves smaller when we are doing something in our natural essence and others look at us in a way where we think that we shouldn’t be doing that, like we’re somehow wrong for being who we are. When we retract from that we negate ourselves and our true power and dim our light and therefore impede our evolutionary progress, limit the depth of our experiences, and withdraw or withhold ourselves in a way.

– Life arranges itself based on the things, people, events and situations we place more significance on, and the meaning/story derived from or created around that significance. Clarity and specificity with intentions will create more desired outcomes when aware of these.

– The more people who place significance on something/someone, the bigger and more solid/real it becomes and the longer it lasts. This could be major events in history, or sporting events, musicians, celebrities, etc. Collective significance continually recreates it/holds it in place. Things fall out of relevance when there is less significance placed on it, as attention goes elsewhere.

– People attach their own significance to these things/people/events in order to create their own stories in relation to them so that they feel significant themselves. It is the stories they use that creates their own meaning. It is a dual relationship here, feeding into the significance and deriving their own significance.

– We can change the past, present and future based on where we place our significance. This includes the stories we tell ourselves and what they mean, as well as what we pay attention to and what those things mean to us and/or about us.

– Changing the things we place significance on and the stories or meaning attached to them changes our reality and the circumstances surrounding us in life.

– We attract people and situations to our lives based on these significances, and they knowingly or unknowingly play a role in our creation of the universe around us.

– People’s perceptions of the shared universe and their own internal universe collide, interact, and even blend with each other more to the degree there are shared significances, even if their stories/meaning/pictures/plans are different.
