It was a Star Trek spin off about a space station on the outskirts of a wormhole near a planet called Bajor.

The Bajorans believed the wormhole was where the Celestial Temple of the Prophets was located; the Prophets were their spiritual leaders or Divine figures. When Captain Benjamin Sisko was assigned to command the station, many on Bajor believed he was the Emissary that the Prophets had been foretelling. Sisko didn't want to believe the prophecy until he found himself trapped in the center of the wormhole, being questioned by the Prophets. They asked him where he lived. Sisko didn't know how to answer and the Prophets kept taking him back to the death of his wife. Although he couldn't have prevented it nor was he responsible for it, he felt liable for her death. They kept taking him back the same scene over and over; no matter what Sisko did he could not save her. At the end of each sequence, they again asked him where he lived. The point being that when his wife died, he also ceased to exist in many ways. He still lived and did his duty, but he never moved past that event in his life. Because he couldn't move beyond the guilt and the grief, he couldn't accept the reality of his life in the now. Eventually he learned the lesson they were trying to teach him and he was able to move forward in his life.

The events or challenges don't have to be major in order to have an impact. Sometimes a simple thing can cause a sticky point in your life. Ill spoken words or actions, which causes person to feel foolish or impotent, are enough to create a stop point in their life. Stop points are best described as the events or situations that immediately come to mind during stressful times. It's the knee jerk response you have when you don't have time to think through your reaction. Like a tab point on a typewriter, the response becomes instinctive to the point of loosing awareness of the behavior. It is Sisko continually trying to save his wife even though it was no longer a possibility. His every action from that moment on was in direct response to that event until the Prophets forced him to be aware of his behavior.

Many of us live life on that level. Instead of examining and trying to understand a situation so we can it can be released, we ignore the lesson and continue to create the same circumstances. Until we see where we live, we can not change our address. In addition, the longer we live there, the more difficult it will be to move. The more ingrained the behavior, the less likely a person will be open to change without an intervening force. For Sisco, it was the Prophets. That's great if you can get Divine intervention. But for the rest of us, it takes being self aware enough to look at the patterns in our lives. What situations do we continually find ourselves in and how do we react? Do we always respond the same or is it based on the immediate challenge? Until we change our methods of living, we can not expect a different out come. There is a saying--Although we can't go back and make a brand new start, we can start from now and make a brand new end." What we experience in the past, we can not change, however we can change how it influences our future. The different will be when we learn from the past instead of trying to live there.
