Throughout my life I could easily be described as a rebel and unconventional. Curiously I wondered how we do all the same things yet experience life so differently through a different level of awareness. We work, we eat, sleep, drink, have fun, laugh, relax and whatever just like everyone else. Yet somehow life is experienced differently.
In my reading tonight I liked a section of the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz which I'd like to share.
"We can declare a war against the parasite, a war against the judge and the victim, a war for our independence, a war for the right to use our own mind and our own brain.
That is why in all the shamanic traditions in America, from Canada to Argentina, people call themselves warriors, because they are in a war against the parasite in the mind. That is the real meaning of a warrior. The warrior is the one who rebels against the invasion of the parasite. The warrior rebels and declares a war. But to be a warrior doesn't mean we always win the war, we may win or we may lose, but we always do our best and at least we have a chance to be free again. Choosing this path gives us, at the very least, the dignity of rebellion, and ensures we will not be the helpless victim of our own whimsical emotions or the poisonous emotions of others. Even if we succumb to the enemy - the parasite - we will not be among those victims who would not fight back.
At best being a warrior gives us an opportunity to transcend the dream of the planet, and to change our personal dream to a dream that we call heaven. "
Being a rebel with a purpose sounds like fun to me! Creating waves amongst this society we have created to bring people back to life, to believe in their dreams once again and that there are infinite possibilities not just the one they feel trapped by.
My questions to myself are how I can I create this moment consciously? How would I like to feel? What is my intention based on what I feel, not purely what I see?
As I recall my life and many experiences it is only now I feel so comfortable in being a purpose filled rebel.
What is your purpose? How can you "rebel" and put that into action today?

Belief
As a part of my urban warrior training I like to challenge myself to do tasks that may seem impossible. The truth is everything is impossible until we have done it!
Some of these challenges recently have been rock climbing without ropes, driving luxury cars with the super car mafia. My encouragement for everyone is to develop the self belief that they can do whatever they choose. The monster stopping us most of the time is the doubt monster.
Challenge yourself in ways that work your edge, not anybody elses. My aim as an urban warrior is to have discipline where I need it so flow happpens unconsciously, like a samurai, spartan or ninja warrior.

Flu nonsense
Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, America’s leading consumer health expert, and Sherri Kane, an investigative journalist, have released shocking proof in legal affidavits that leaders of a private global biotechnology “trust” are behind everything you ever heard about pandemic flu, including its origin and alleged prevention via vaccination. Their documents, being sent through attorneys to the FBI today, evidence powerful industrialists operating a crime ring within “Partnership for New York City” are behind the pandemic’s creation, media persuasions, vaccination preparations, and health official promotions seen everywhere from supermarkets to health clinics.
“David Rockefeller’s trust, that engages several powerful partners on Wall Street, including media moguls Rupert Murdock, Morton Zuckerman, Thomas Glocer, and former Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Jerry Speyer,” are implicated in advancing global genocide,” Dr. Horowitz wrote to FBI directors, through a team of attorneys assembled to stop the swine flu vaccines from being given.
“This ‘partnership’ controls biotechnology research and development globally. Health commerce internationally is also controlled virtually entirely by this trust that exercises near complete control over mainstream media to promote/propagandize its products and services for the drug cartel's organized crime. This trust, in essence, makes or breaks medical and natural healing markets, primarily through the mass media companies and propaganda it wields for social engineering and market building,” Dr. Horowitz wrote.
Among the most stunning revelations from the Horowitz-Kane research are those linking Larry Silverstein of Silverstein Properties, Inc., and the 9-11 terrorist attacks, to the drug cartel’s geopolitical, economic, and population reduction activities. Mr. Silverstein, leaser of the World Trade Center who authorized to have building 7 “pulled,” meaning detonated, is a chief suspect in the “9-11 truth” investigation. Silverstein is currently landlord and co-partner in the biotechnology trust founded by David Rockefeller and implicated by these new discoveries.
“If these people can get away with killing more than 3,000 people in 8 seconds on 9-11, they are completely capable of murdering millions, even billions, of people worldwide this flu season,” Dr. Horowitz commented. “I pray these revelations will save millions of lives and help activists call upon President Barack Obama to demand legitimate inquiries into these genocidal atrocities.”
Given the unprecedented nature and urgency of these findings, Dr. Horowitz has posted his affidavit for public review on FLUscam.com, praying other activist will spread the information in order to prompt governments worldwide to cease mass vaccination preparations to avoid becoming accessories to the crime of genocide.

For anyone curious as to the ingredients of the vaccines (H1N1) here it is. I seem to think there is no credibility in the governments claims that they are protecting you and public health.

EMBRACE CHALLENGES AND DON'T HOLD BACK
Every one of us has different challenges, situations that stress us, change us, and put us up against a wall. I know beyond any doubt that when your body is given all the opportunities to enjoy its natural capacity for movement, the energy reserves you build up help you cope with what life throws your way. In fact, it helps you do more than cope-it helps you thrive.
I call my own personal challenges the three A's-the three things that shaped my life. The first A is an accident I had at age 19. I broke and tore apart my right arm, shoulder, and chest while riding a motorcycle. I was temporarily paralyzed and spent six months in rehabilitation. . . .This is when I first discovered my passion for making people feel better through physical activity because I experienced first-hand how it made me feel better. If I hadn't had that accident, I might not have grown my company to more than 170 clubs with more than 500,000 members. I might not have gone all over the world speaking about fitness.
The second A is arthritis. At age 32, I woke up one morning instantly crippled. My whole body was swollen, inflamed and in total pain. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I had been an elite athlete, a five-time rowing champion, and overnight I couldn't even turn a doorknob. . . .That was quite a blow to the guy who people thought of as Mr. GoodLife Fitness. I used exercise to help me mentally cope with the symptoms and to regain physical strength and mobility. To this day, exercise helps me control the arthritis.
The third A is autism. At the age of two and a half, my eldest daughter Kilee started showing marked changes in behavior. Her kisses turn into biting, her laughter into constant screams. She started pushing me away when I tried to hug her. She wouldn't make eye contact. I went through a bewildering journey of trying to figure out what was going on. I still remember the initial devastation I felt upon hearing a doctor say, "Your daughter is autistic."
I became determined to help Kilee become the best she could be. I chose not to focus on her condition but on her potential. I chose to love her unconditionally. All my energy went into a very intensive home learning program for her, aimed at drawing the best out of her. . . .I also made the decision to commit myself to finding the cure for autism. I've provided the initial funding for an innovative research team under the direction of neuroscientist Dr. Derrick MacFabe at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. I continue to support that program, closing in on $3 million I've donated to the research team.
You might ask what physical activity has to do with my journey as a parent of an autistic child. The answer is twofold. By keeping up my own regular physical activity, my energy levels stay high, my mind stays sharp, and I cope better with stress. . . .Secondly, I have involved regular physical activity in Kilee's treatment program, with the result that today she has a high level of physical skill. She swims, skis, bikes, runs, and rides horseback.
My three A's have given me a sensitivity toward people whose bodies are not perfect, people who have had injuries and accidents, people who are coping with chronic conditions such as arthritis or diabetes or who are recovering from a heart attack or stroke, and also people who are overwhelmed or scared to exercise because of inexperience. I know what someone means when he or she says, "I had this horrible injury and I feel like I can't do things." I can give people the reassurance that there are things they can do and that their body can indeed find a movement level that will help them.
What are your own personal challenges, and how might physical activity help you? Exercise influences the biggest A of all-your Attitude. When life hits you broadside, respond with your big A-Attitude. And follow your big A with the three E's-Energy, Excitement, and Enthusiasm. Exercise helps you feel the three E's in your body. When you feel it in the body, you feel it in the mind, heart, and spirit. There is no split between mind and body-you are one whole human being.

Magic potions and lotions
How many people watched The Secret and thought in that moment it was the end of all problems? My personal belief is that problems can be reframed as challenges, nevertheless some action or changes need to be made.
Yes I could visualise and affirm, ask myself empowering questions (and often do) yet without the right training, nutrition and persistence of purpose I may not have made it through the 100km event on Friday.
Part of maturity and growing up for me has been the realisation that there are not many magic potions and lotions or super pills that solve everything. Many of the quick fix ideas only lead to larger problems. We only need to look at the weight loss industry and yo yo dieting to see this cycle in action.
When we decide now is the time and creating my dream is the only option, things start to move. A commitment to a higher purpose with a big WHY so that when any challenges arise we keep going. WHY do I run 100km? Partly its because I can, partly the chance to be in the company of other inspired teams, part craziness, a challenge, show the benefits of a raw vegan diet, it inspires me in the rest of my life to keep going, and hopefully inspires others to do something they previously thought impossible.
What is it you have given up on? What is something you think could never happen but that little voice keeps holding you back? When will the inner self master the outer self?
Some why questions for today...
Why am I doing whatever it takes?
Why am I giving up the diet shakes?
Why am I living my dreams instead of eating cakes?

Brotherhood and challenge
Yesterday I ran and walked 100km through mostly bush for a charity event, with 3 mates. It definitely felt good to finish.
The team was a big thing, all pushing each other to make it to the finish line as there were point where everyone was feeling a little "discomfort". The day started off hot and we heard stories of many teams dropping out, or having team members drop out.
What is the difference between those who persist and those who drop out? Do they see a higher purpose in making it to the finish line and a need to complete? Does it really matter in the scheme of life if we do retire early? We had one team member who even though being extremely fatigued still managed to cross the line, for the 9th year in a row. Is he mentally strong, crazy or is it the team that makes the difference?
Why as humans do we feel the need to challenge ourselves?
I know for myself being in the company of men with character is high on my values. Warriors strengthening each other through challenge. My training has been mostly cross-fit and wanted to see the results, plus I love showing what is possible on a diet of mostly fruit.
I found some stages particularly challenging to walk as I love to run, and seemed painfully slow. There was a lot of humour between the team, and at one stage perhaps a little delirious I decided to start some outdoor karaoke. Not sure how popular this was but I had fun.
The last stage was interesting. After walking a considerable distance I started running and didnt look back, hitting the finish line a significant distance ahead of my team and then officially finishing when they arrived. Why did I take off and leave the team? It really felt right like a spiritual experience to be running, feeling the wind across my face through my hair. Running down a tight trail with a head light on, through the streets across the Spit bridge, across Balmoral beach and up into Mosman. It was like something took over my body and all of a sudden I was completely present and energised.
For me to access this sensation, running 100km was a small price to pay. Sure I have a little discomfort today but beats talking about Home and Away.
What gets you present?
Will I do it again? (This was my 2nd time)

Women
I am conscious as a man of the beauty now in all women. Many times my attention has been grabbed by a young beauty and my head turns to look. Now I have the belief that I love beautiful women, and all women are beautiful and simply breating in that essence I am much more appreciative of the beauty and radiance in women of all ages, shapes and sizes.
Instead of just having mothers day I propose a national day to celebrate women and the beauty each of you bring to my day. Appreciate a woman for who she really is, perhaps even more than she realises and you will find love everywhere.
Namaste
