This matter is often discussed on Google Answers: http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=399926 http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=325417 http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=139239 http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=95936 http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=269968 http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=99493 http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=75873 http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=13017 My own opinion is that meaning is like juicy bits of fruit suspended in the wobbly Jell-O of life. The fun is in poking around hunting for a cherry. If someone just throws a bunch of fruit cocktail on a plate, and you don't have to go fishing with your spoon, well, that's not nearly as enjoyable. Which is why I never attempt to give any kind of in-depth answer to this kind of question. Go on: find your cherries. Don't wait for someone else to tell you where they are. |

You do the Hokey-Pokey and you turn yourself about. That's what it's all about. |

Here's an excerpt from an entertaining sermon on the hokey-pokey theory of life: "Note that the song and dance asks us to counterbalance each move we make with the right or the left, with its opposite. If we put our left leg in and shake it all about, then we are asked to put our right leg in and shake it all about. The hokey pokey is teaching us to seek harmony and balance in our lives. Don?t become one-sided or lopsided in your approach to living or in your view of the world. You know the expression??on the one hand, on the other hand.? It means, take into consideration the opposite truth, the other point of view, to the one you hold. During presidential campaigns keep that in mind as you hear the various candidates spout their favorite proposals. Consider that political wisdom probably lies somewhere in the middle between Bush and Gore, between democratic plan and republican proposal. Listen to both sides and weigh the evidence. Where does the truth lie? Consider also that the Hokey Pokey asks us, after we have balanced both right and left, and put our whole selves in, to then turn ourselves around?that?s what it?s all about. To turn yourself around has religious overtones of the concept of repentance. Repentance means to cease faulty thinking and behavior, to turn yourself around, and head in a new direction, one that will engage your whole self and lead to health and healing and wholeness. That is certainly the emphasis in the A.A. Twelve-Step Program. The apostle Paul put it this way: 'Be transformed by the renewing of your minds, that you may know the good, acceptable and perfect will of God.' The challenge to renew out minds fits in with the wisdom of the Hokey Pokey. One of the actions we are asked to perform is to put our head in and out and shake it all about. That gets both the left side and right side of the head moving in and out and the blood flowing to both sides of the brain. Don?t use only one half of your brain. Be whole-brained." http://personal.tmlp.com/hayesboh/uu/sermons/sep2400.htm |
