AT LEAST SOME OF US HEAR THE LOVE BEHIND THE RANT…
Coach Ilg,
These have been some powerful DL’s and have affected me deeply. Our consumer society is evidence of the monkey mind run amuck. We are unhappy, so we consume the chi in some product that someone has made. It makes us happy, but only for a moment. So we consume again and again and again in search happiness. Because we are unhappy, we become fat and bloated with our consumption.
WF is a different path. It teaches stillness. I am much happier since I have begun my WF training. I am learning that while consumption is nice, it is only by going within and drawing on my strength that I can find lasting happiness.
I appreciate the Doctors and their brilliance. Truly, they have worked miracles. However, the application of this brilliant resource is sad. Why can’t these minds be put to work restructuring our cities so that cardio exercise is much more readily available or finding more healthy food choices for those people that choose to eat in their car.
Keep speaking the truth. At least some of us hear it.
