commitment and honesty
I confess. I'm an addict. I'm addicted to Bud Greenspan's series of
documentaries on the past summer and winter Olympic Games on Showtime cable TV. I sit and cry for an hour or two at the commitment these Beings have to their sport and to one single goal in their lives. And I cry mainly at the support these people almost without exception seem to get from their families and their coaches, the single greatest factor in all of their successes. I cry at the commitment it takes to swim 20,000 miles in training to be able to compete in and win one single 35 second race. I cry at the commitment it takes a woman of 46 to compete in an Olympic women's marathon race after training an estimated 120,000 miles for a single 2 and a half hour race. I cry espcially hard at the young Croation woman who wins that country's first gold medal and returns to a reception from 200,000 of her fellow countrymen. I cry at the Greek weightlifter who gets a 10-minute standing ovation for winning a bronze medal after being credited with single-handedly bringing his country´s attention back to sports. I cry especially at the 'little Aussie battlers'--an expression from back home, who strive against all odds to find their place on the grander world stage. And how can anyone not cry at the young American speed skater whose hero has started a foundation to help war-torn kids in the Sudan and donates all his winnings to that charity which spurs even the Chinese medalists to do likewise: http://www.righttoplay.com/site/PageServer. If any one of us put one hundredth the effort into our spiritual goals as these athletes do for their sport what then could be accomplished? No one does it better than Bud Greenspan -- not with pathos that emits false emotions, but with simple storytelling skills that demonstrate the wonder of what it is these people and their familes go through. Very few have not overcome some serious obstacles in their lives, be it physical, emotional, monetary or mental, but all have gone through the adversity to reach the pinnacle of their professions over long years of commitment, self-sacrifice, and hard, hard work. I cry easily when I see people helping each other, supporting each other, or just banding together to do something meaningful. It's what life should be all about, is all about in other SuperUniverses, and will need to be all about as we go through this most difficult stage in our ascension process. The Olympics is a wonderful metaphor for planet Earth and all the different Star Wars bar-type aliens who reside on the planet, often forming their own races and/or countries -- sometimes competing, and sometimes banding together for worthwhile spiritual projects (no not UN-funded wars). And yes, the US is a melting pot for all these different kind of races and peoples and deserves therefore to be the leader, except for the fact that it is trying to be the darkside leader rather than for the Light of all humanity. No matter. Things have been changing and will only continue to change as the ascension process continues; and people will either be forced to band together for the good of all or perish in their own self-centered indolence. It´s their choice, and I would be the last to try and change anyone´s opinion who has firmly made up their minds.My job has just been to prod them into getting off their fences before it is too late. After having done what I have done over the past 12 years to assist the Creator family in Their healing, and in assisting to get this planet into ascension, I guess most of all I cry for myself and the pride I share with these sportsmen in having made my life meaningful to myself and my spiritual family -- against all odds. I sometimes cry for all those I´ve left behind along the way --who like the characters along the road in John Bunyan's A Pilgrim´s Progress, people who could not commit to their own spiritual progress and found either me or their families or something else an easy way out from finishing the race, from not completing the training, from not making it to the finishing line. I wish them all well and am sad, for I know this special Olympics taking place on planet Earth right now will hopefully never come again, and it is they who have missed out on participating in the grandest accomplishment of all . . .
