Seems elementary doesn’t it? For our purposes, let’s define it as an event, an encounter, an episode, an epiphany that impacts us emotionally, intellectually and most importantly spiritually to present us with opportunity for a life change. And it’s a chance to use big words! Epiphany is a “duh” moment. Yea, I had an epiphany about epiphany. It’s when you realize a sudden insight that you should have realized long ago. What’s worse is you kind of knew it! Well, then identify the insight to be more conscious of it. For just a moment, you can also think everyone else “got it”.
Significant experiences can be dangerous traumatic or otherwise destabilizing to make us regroup and assess reality in a renewed way.
A significant experience can also be enlightening awakening. It can be in rays of hope we can be imposing a pause to look at the scenery around us. It can start with a spark realizing there is more to life than your status quo every day. That spark can be your quiet conscious saying, “hey pay attention”.
Becoming more aware can be the paradigm shifting that causes a rush of adrenaline, endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, to what you may realize is the very chemical cocktail you mix within this vessel we call our body.
Then, you may come to seeing how you can master your emotions — not neglect them, for they are huge intuitive indicators, if not acting as canaries in the coal mine. The aim is to know how to use the signs our smart body may have over our consciousness.
I have had the opportunity to work for or produce with some fine folks. I’ve included them into my networked artist section of the website I call the artist colony. It’s going to be an expanding network.
By way of what is a Podcast Musical, there is a one-man play pf a faith quest story. In addition, I am the questioning voice and hopefully, the revealing co-traveler making sense of the significant experiences in my life. I have this project underway titled “As I Recall FOREVER”. I will be delivering context to that content, besides delivering a virtual musical theater show of it. I will even plant episodes or scenes across various social or digital media platforms; YouTube for the musical’s song videos. Social media for promo and reflections. And the Podcast platforms for the episodic content.
I’ve reached connecting dots of significant experiences in my life by examination, prompted by the imposed situations or sometimes seeking explanations.
Besides the music presentation, we’ll talk about experience design as well as life-design or at least life stage preparation.
Not only will my experiences be examples, (I make a good bad example) much of what I have to offer comes from many books that serve to guide in forming a frame of mind, principles and belief system. Belief systems or missions, as some would say, drive all human endeavors. Fundamentally, what do we desire and what mentally & spiritually does it take to bring it about? Mine, borrowed and learned, led to my own material success and integrity. That success is in the giving. Giving all you’ve got, my wife would attest.
But this is not a get-rich-quick course. After all the definition of rich is up to you. The gift of talents you cultivate, the opportunities you create from what is in front of you, the application of those talents or learning-to-learn… it adds up to your total assets of worth. Your net value to others, has the greatest form of exchange… it’s not dollars or bitcoin. It’s called responsibility. We’ll explore how those layers of responsibility become your main bank account. Your system of being trusted is what makes you a magnet for getting more responsibility. And you will not miss the power source of the Lord being a guiding light, a shield and a fan. You realize, you are not your own.
I can’t give you all the details of what we will explore in the coming series, but I can start with this basic truth that what you imagine and pray for, you become and that creates your reality. In that, the praying for others and imagining serving others is way more effective than thinking you will magically be gifted merely for having your desires. What you do to move in the direction of a positive vision of achieving for other’s benefits, is all up to you. I’m hoping my blogging and podcasts will move people to write their own story and design their life day by day. . That’s what I want for you.
I will not be asking you to take my significant experiences to replicate them in anyway. My storytelling or unpacking things or professing is only for you to look for, find in pieces and make note of your own significant experiences.
I want to thank Dave Hooper of Build A Better Website (yes, the great drummer who became a tech wizard with websites). The website for Significant Media and Music, along with other artist and project designs come from his skillful artistry. This is Bill Mullin signing off for now. I’ll be with you soon discovering significance!
