Namaste Noble Warriors!
i know you know that i am attempting to update this Online Journal every day throughout March. i missed the last two days. the reason was a technical – not spiritual – malfunction. there is a Teaching in the missed days. the Teaching that is in there, falls under what I call, Life Judo.
LIFE JUDO –
too many fitness athletes are too obsessive in their fitness endeavors. since moving to LA, i now hang out with recreational �fitness� warriors instead of sponsored athletes. i swear recreational athletes (non-professionals) are way harder on themselves about missing workouts than are professional athletes!
there is no need to get so uptight about missing a workout, or eating poorly on a particular day, or not meditating for a week. don�t friggin� worry about it! just pick up the flow with the New, the Now. attachment to consistency over quality causes us to miss many subtle Teachings in both our workouts and our life. obsessed with being consistent makes us inconsistent with Dharma or the Flow of Higher Life.
all things Change.
we must allow ourselves as well, to Change. to adapt. to evolve. to grow.
WF Students are taught to breathe into the rhythm of life. don�t stress about missing workouts just do your noble best to dance with the flow of life. use forces wisely instead of fighting them. this, i call �Life Judo.�
the world we live in today will change in the very next moment. so relax into difficulty! Dharma flows even when you break a promise to yourself or to someone else. so be very quick to forgive yourself. do not take yourself so grandly, so arrogantly, that you mistake Ego (Individual) for Atman (Individual Reality).
it is your spiritual endeavor within the present that erases the past and prepares the future.

coming up tomorrow in DL:
why War �doesn�t matter� to a yogi.
so, if you insist on watching Bush tonight on his Made For Prime Time TV Speech announce his Big Texan Plans To Bomb The Brat Next Door Simply Because He Can
then go ahead,
watch the Unawakened World grow more insane.
but at least pause during the telecast to do this:
mute the TV during the commercials, sit elegantly on the floor, close your eyes, and Breathe Consciously.
And may you be Brave at least once, today
i bow – however inconsistently – to you,
coach ilg
