The information here is basically nothing new. Although it’s more concise and there are things that I can write down and look up for myself if they are accurate. Or rather, they’re things that James can write down and I can wait for him to go ahead and do research on them. It was also very frank. There wasn’t much emotion behind it other than the clips of “Network,” a 1973 film that I have to go borrow in Netflix now.

All in all, I found it very interesting and what I basically got out of it was an affirmation in my belief in Principles, basic natural laws of how the world works that go beyond law, religion and so on and so forth. Those laws are, to me, the testament that there is a God; and that he loves his people, all his people, Christian or otherwise.

Also, I feel very liberated now that I see the Christian religion for what, I believe, it truly is. I don’t feel guilty or bad for the things that I believe that aren’t traditionally Christian (although I personally think that they’re very Christian and that Christianity should rise up and claim these beliefs as their own… but that’s a different discussion).

I wonder about what I have to do now that I did watch this video. I know for one thing is that I’d have to change my personal mission statement. Not that I think it would basically transform every aspect of it, it’s just that I based what I wrote on that paper on the world as I knew it. And now that my definition of how the world is has changed, I think that my mission statement would have to change.

I do have to put into consideration that I am not fully independent yet. I see how important it is for me to make a contribution and basically do good for the community as a whole, I have to start with myself first. I can’t make the decision to go to a higher state of maturity if I am not in the level of maturity right below that.

I also was reminded about the work that needs to be done with The 7 Habits. I feel the need to go ahead and teach someone about these principles and about maturity. I feel like I should tell someone about the how they can live the life they know that they're supposed to live. I dunno, The 7 Habits is the biggest thing I have now and just makes everything make sense. And after reaffirming my belief in the basis of those concepts by watching this video, I just want to share it to the world.
