Brotherhood

Today is I write the concept of community, of authenticity and of brotherhood are on my mind. I love having friends in my life who will tell me their honest opinion despite the consequences. It is good having support when I need it, and criticism when I need that. Women often form close bonds that last many years, but for many men they have the guys they go to barbeques and the pub with.

Its time for me to be real men, men who can be themselves going crazy on their latest challenge, or allowing their heart to open and real emotions shine through. Some of the old stereotypes are breaking down, leaving confusion in gender roles and many frustrated and disappointed men. In brotherhoood we can grow to strengthen each other, and better serve the world to completely give our gifts from thus place. In brotherhood we can work our masculine edge, and love women as warriors, not sensitive new age guys.

As I go through the challenges of a life served on the edge, prepared to risk it all for true freedom, I am blessed and truly grateful for the brotherhood around me.

Change

Change is inevitable - right! But can be super annoying when not the change we want.

Today Lee and I headed off for another board room meeting, aka mountain biking at Terry Hills. This is one of our favourite rides as it flows with enough physical exercion plus technical challenge to keep us interested. It certainly doesn't feel like exercise to me even though we are working like machines.

So back to the change... Today we rode the start of the track all going great and then we came to a section where a bulldozer was knocking down a tree (fortunately we noticed this and avoided) plus the track from then was smooth. Not quite as smooth as a baby's bottom but smooth enough to make the ride a little boring. Frustrating when change like this happens and is out of our control.

Anyway felt a rant in order, and yes we did speak to the guy in the bulldozer (Lee mostly) and turns out there is valid reasoning behind this process to avoid run off from track going in to the bush etc. Seems the state forest are cashed up and taking lots of action.

What I have noticed in life is there are so many agendas. The track is used by walkers, mountain bikers, hopefully dirt bikers (to tear up the track and make more challenging) and ultimately firefighters.

I guess its not that big a deal when potentially a life may be saved from this work, but hoping it gets rough fast anyway.

Oh and while Im writing I think this was the closest I have seen Lee come to crying.

Connecting with nature

Tonight I had spent the afternoon connecting with Christie, and catching up on paperwork that required my attention. The rest of the day was delivering the boxes as part of the http://sydney.foodconnect.com.au/ project. Feels good to be part of a group with a mission that makes a difference.

Lately my exercise has been mountain biking, walking, yoga, some cross fit and recovery exercises and stretches for my shoulder. Very minimal running. It had been raining and I felt inspired to head out for a run. Barefoot trail running felt right and I headed down the street until I met the trail. It started as a gentle massage on my feet as I felt my way along the trail, brushing my face against damp branches and lungs beginning to deepen with each breath as my body warmed up. The gentle massage became intense as the path became covered in small rocks, staying present and continuing to run was a challenge. I focused and meditated on the feeling, and continued feeling my way beyond the senses and finding a flow amongst the rocks that mostly worked. After a while I was running as fast as I would have been in runners, and feeling connected with the great one, with mother nature and super aware and present.

My business partner recently corrected me describing my time in nature as "time out", he articulated that for me it is an essential or "time in". This is my meditation. My centering. My chance to discover all I need to know. My freedom.

What is your "time in"? Having time in or time for ourselves is super important and I recommend booking it in with the same priority we give to our work or business.

Good luck on the warrior path, it is the most challenging but the most rewarding!

Purpose filled rebel

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. This vaccine when injected will be the catalyst of the pandemic. Those who get it will be the ones who spread it.

So now you know the list of ingredients for the toxic sludge they want to inject your babies with..

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.
