Mother and father are “hard workers”. They’re unaffectionate and cold. I crave connection. I venture for life elsewhere. What’s that? A secret door requiring a key, perhaps?

On the other side is my other father and mother. They’re amazing. I even can share their last name. Other father is a genius—a music virtuoso! Other mother is a fantastic cook! I even have a beautiful place to sleep. Telling my mother and father, they don’t believe me. I really did experience it; it wasn’t just my imagination.

The attempt to return home doesn’t always look like a spaceship, but sometimes it’s a bit abstract.

Man’s ability to lead spiritually, rather than materialistically or socially, guides him. Man is allowed to be a star—seen special by God.

She’s hooked to the television wanting more. Observing the Moon and stars; she wants to change. But she’s beautiful just the way she is. She alienates herself, venturing outward for worth, while her worth is predefined. She was knitted in the womb. That’s enough.

Ground control is always present for support. Having people close, even a call away, isn’t a weakness, but a strength. Every astronaut sets aside their differences to focus on what they have in common. Everyone does what they can to survive and arrive back safely.

“I’m the brightest star. A daredevil miner with my Davy Lamp. I build my identity, uncovering myself amidst my alienation and social isolation.”

Newton knows himself. He’s confident while knowing he’s not foolproof. No persecution may hold him. He’s not in self-contempt, but knows he has things to bring into the world no other man may. He searches for those likeminded to entrust them with who he is.

NO MATTER BLACK OR WHITE, JUST MAKE SURE YOU KEEP SWEET AND CRISPY INSIDE

Newton, with the aid of his spacewalks, learns he mustn't always need to perform, but can just be. Him being allows his individuality to surface. Who he is in his original image, rather than his own. He begins to embody self-love. Being Major Tom, he may touch the sky, be above all, and sail the seas forever, but he is without a bond with others. He learns things are earned, not all is given. Trust is earned as it is developed.

Newton seeks asylum within himself. His self-made world is his refuge. His pursuit of self-perfection to complete himself, ironically incompletes him. His self-objectification and devaluation are a symptom of his self-martyring. He self-martyrs and self-sacrifices to find worth within others’ approval. Pleases others at expense of himself.

He needs connection—mutual love with another. But alienation becomes his humanization. His defense turns into his comfort. Avoidance overtakes his purpose. A spacewalk can strengthen his character—he can grow in courage to trust others. To know to reach out to others.

It’s man’s attempt to love God, while avoiding that God loves him with grace.

Newton lets his shame define him. It keeps his birth inverted. His previous rejections twist his motives—he wants to remain unseen but knows he must be seen. Retreating into his self-made world, he withdrawals to avoid exposure, trapping himself in false comforting, isolating loops. He’s alienated.

He can be humanized by being seen. But a spacewalk is required. He can walk by faith to strengthen himself. He can grow in courage, resilience, and stoicism. He may change and form the ability to trust others—distinguishing true competence from self-martyring. He can learn others aren’t clones of him, but unique individuals on their own paths. Just like him.

The collective man, T.J. Newton, ventures out. He observes the world around him, collecting and simplifying social groups and peoples into characters and manageable forms. He secretly abstracts reality archetypally and hierarchically, making new ideas. Then he retreats into his self-made world full of it all just for survival and comfort. He's Major Tom in his own spaceship. A man on a mission: the carrier of the Secret DNA. But being all-knowing and all-loving is fun and self-assuring, but not manageable alone by man.

He just needs to give himself a chance. A spacewalk. A giant leap. A risk. People will love him for who he is. He's made in God's image, not his own.

Lost in an alienated state, man is humanized in a found state. A state attained by finally being seen, heard, and validated by something beyond himself. His past experiences refine him. Shapes his being. A journey of self-discovery from dissolution to resolution.
