oh, the excuses from Students not incorporating the fourth Noble Fitness Discipline of Wholistic Fitness® into their lives – Meditation.

ilg has heard about the kids. the ‘bad knees.’

ilg has heard about the work schedule…the dogs, the lack of space, the lack of time…

here is what is lacking;
your willingness.

your strength to sit still
and
Just Listen.

ilg knows all the excuses and then some…
each by Direct Experience.

that is New Daddy Ilg up there; torso tilted, feet cramping and sliding out of a haphazard Siddhasana, it’s past 10 pm…absolutely wretched posture, not elegant like Buddha…
fatigue these days seems my most faithful friend.

yet, still
ilg
sits.

if feeble ilg can sit,
so can you.

i walk into a group of students during a WF Training Retreat in Santa Fe in the Kiva Room at the Center of Self Healing which i used to manage. this was in the early nineties, i reckon. obviously my students were busily chatting about something which i interrupted.

“What are you talking about?” i asked.

“Uh, well,” came the confession, “We were talking about our fear that Entertainment will pursue us too strongly after this Training and we will lose our desire for Inner Attainment that you are instilling in us.”

“Oh, don’t worry,” i told them, “you are not Vibrating Highly enough yet for Entertainment to pursue you. You are still pursuing it.”

sit strong,

ilg
