Ethos---

Today we are discussing with an open panel from around the world about Spiritual Anthropology, Human Narrative of peoples lives, What peoples souls crave in their life when it comes to meaning, destiny, intimacy.

Couple quick thoughts that i think are key...
  • Cynicism breaks down the ability to embrace destiny & meaning in a heroic mindset
  • There cannot be a disconnect from a reality. We/body needs to be explain what is real in our communication. We cannot give a false prestense in what life is really about. Tought times come, Christ never said things will be perfect in this world!
  • Authenticity is a critical key in how we communicate Meaning, Destiny, Intimacy
  • You can't assume in sharing this message that all people need to be talked to in the same way or the same "points" need to be addressed. We also can't start conversations with people when we know what we say will end the conversation before it even really begins
  • Meaning can break into 2 parts
    - Truth
    - Security/Certainty
  • Intimacy
    Not everyone needs the same level
    Some substitute sex for intimacy
  • Destiny
    Survival is replaced with Destiny in an improper view point in our lives
    Dreams are hard to live out when not encouraged
    Success is not Destiny…
    Success makes us not go where there is great risk, but safety…
