Locate the Automatic

My worldview is how I see life, relationships, current events, on the job stresses, problems, people, happiness... you know... the world. It's not a belief system or an objective. It's what comes out of me, automatically, when I meet a person different from myself. It's what comes out of me, automatically, when I'm exposed to a new idea. It's what makes me angry. It's what makes me sad, or afraid or happy. My worldview is so present I don't even know it's there half the time. My worldview is what I really think, beneath all my efforts to think a certain way. It's who I am when I'm not looking. It's my Automatic. Privately guaging my responses to things, without pretending they are anything other than what they are, helps me uncover my worldview. Some parts of it are solid, reliable and trustworthy. They help me thrive. But other parts of it are in serious need of repair. They stand in my way. And that, for me, is where Christianity starts to become a worldview. Ever Forward.
