This dissertation explored through narrative analysis phenomenological experiences of personal meaning. While meaning theorists, such as Frankl (1962) and Wong (1998a) have written about a sense of meaning that is ever-present and connected to one's being, research of late (Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1964; Klinger, 1998) has mainly conceptualized meaning as a function of action and progress. Thus, one major purpose of this narrative inquiry was to seek out the interplay of meaning through being and meaning through doing, as drawn from Frankl (1962), May (1961), and other existential psychologists. The impact of religious identity and spiritual identity on two separate processes of creation of meaning and discovery of meaning was analyzed. The study found that a primal experience of meaning is indeed present in the stories of the individuals. The results suggested that speaking about meaning integration, of being and doing, are closer to human experience than searching for meaning. It was also found that meaning integration can occur through chance encounter or by purposefully manipulating one's environment. The topics of expanding the sacred to include the immanent world, and willful versus willing approaches to personal meaning were discussed. The analysis was used to consider the meaning based theories of Frankl (1962), Baumeister (1991), Park & Folkman (1992), Maddi (1998), and Wong (1998). Pastoral counseling implications and issues for further study were also considered.
