What the journey means to me

My journey so far has been about discovering the meta rules of how the self works. The essence of what I have learnt is that the self can change and in fact does change every time it undergoes an experience. Where any experience is significant because of the meaning it carries for us. It means something to us by the fact: it changes our feelings from state ( state a ) to another state ( state b ). Where this movement between states is a process we can call witnessing.    The exercise of witnessing can be powerful and enriching.    In fact if we could communicate what we have witnessed through poetry or through prose, perhaps with the aid of metaphors, we could share these experiences with our family, friends and with the larger community.  Thus to go in retrospect and search for meaning in the experiences we have had can help us grow mature, become stronger and make us more aware.
