     The  SIGNificance and meaning we asSIGN and  discover
in our  lives  are  reflexive  realities,   not  objective
realities---for  they reflect back upon our selves and  we
cannot   be  detached  from  them  so  long  as  they  are
SIGNificant and meaningful to us.

The reflexive SIGNificance and meaning of our  lives
depend upon:

     1.  How  we  choose and shore,  and what meanings  we
choose  to  asSIGN  to,  our most intimate  and  our  most
alienative experiences of ourselves and each other.

     2.  Which  of  our experiences we can and  choose  to
share as most SIGNificant,  and worthy of sharing, in open
and honest dialogue.

     3.  What nature, essence and origin we regard each of
our  own  experiences and their perceived SIGNificance  as
having.

     4.  What  SIGNificance  we asSIGN to and/or  perceive
our conflicts and their  resolutions  or  continuations as
having.

     5.  Which   realities   we   choose   to   regard  as
primary/ultimate,   and which other realities we chose  to
regard  as derivative,  subordinate,  caused,   secondary,
ephemeral, unimportant, etc.

     6.  How we regard our own and each other's choices of
and   asSIGNments  of  meaning  and  SIGNificance;   with:
respect, honor, detachment, attachment, resentment,  anger
and/or rebellion.

     7.  How   we   regard  our  own  and   each   other's
differences;   as  SIGNs of:   superiority,   inferiority,
complementarity, salvation and/or damnation.

     8.  How we regard and asSIGN SIGNificance and meaning
to  our  own  and  each  other's:   presence,    failures,
tragedies,     conformity,    on-conformity,    rebellion,
knowledge,  ignorance, confusion, mistakes,  achievements,
etc..

     9.  In terms  of which stories,  myths,   scriptures,
paradigms  (and/or selective parts of them)  we choose  to
focus  our  attention  and  asSIGN/discover  meaning   and
SIGNificance in life.

     10.  What SIGNs we trust, and what SIGNs we fear  and
distrust;   in  light of what they SIGNify and mean to  us
and/or others.
