The desperate situation of the planet is slowly waking people up to the necessity for transformation on a global scale.
Enlightenment is real, and there are enlightened masters still on the earth. When you actually meet one, you will be shaken and moved in the depths of your heart and you will realize that all the words, such as illumination and wisdom, that you thought were only ideas are in fact true.
When we doubt our capacity to achieve or be something, we whittle away our precious stores of Trust, Faith, and Self-Confidence. For athletes, the most powerful ally we can bring to a Start Line is confidence…confidence borne from countless hours of training and inner work.
CONGRATS TO CADEL!
i once shared a MTB ride with Cadel up Jones Creek when he was still a mountain biker…he eagerly sought more discussion about the Tibetan cause once i told him i studied at Naropa; it’s great to hear that Cadel is still actively concerned about Saving Tibet ! He was a super, super nice guy back then and..
located a glorious 7 miles and a thousand-plus feet higher than my riverfront home lies a special – if not hallowed – yes, c(om)e to TAF it…it IS hallowed – training ground…i’ve known it since a kid borrowing Lorie Worthan’s automatic clutch, 3-speed Honda trail bike, upon which i swear to Lord Shiva, i’d take up to these trails among the wild Turkey, Coyote, Fox, Deer, Elk, and Bear Beings and strip my ass butt naked, and motor around on these trails fast as i could…pressing my little scrotum against the wide, sweaty vinyl seat seeking new dizzying heights of pre-orgasmic bliss…flash forward to me today, 40-odd years later; same trails, same nearly orgasmic sensations…the only difference? i ain’t naked (though i’d like to be), and i’m either running or mountain biking…or, like earlier today? i’m doing both…c’mon; welcome to The Logchute Trail System!
“External temples are nice yet, unneeded.
Complicated philosophies and religions attempt to organize Truth, when really, just our own sweat, our own stillness is our highest Truth.
Therefore, my church pew remains my daily sweat and my cathedral remains my daily stillness.”
Last night was the final HP Yoga™ class at The Hub Training Facility which has now officially closed its doors…
i knew it would be a bittersweet evening of Teaching, an evening which drew nearly 20 of my finest yogic warriors into the Sacred Cave of Champions for one final celebration of sweat…it proved to be deeply moving and perfectly in tune with the yogic understanding of…
“…without too much Attachment, or too much Aversion..”…here are some pics from last nights HP PROP WORKOUT™…
next up: our Warrior Tribe of HP Yogi’s begin training in our NEW CAVE in the historic SMILEY BUILDING! Details (free classes for when you visit) for WF Members only!
Then came that Day when my Anahata Chakra opened…
Evening to be precise.
Brahmamuhurti (Yogic hour of God…sunset or sunrise) to be even more accurate. during those years i was the manager of the Center For Self Healing in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe is a world-renown spiritual vortex which speeds up whatever Inner Work you may need to accomplish. ilg was at that time a pranic drunk; etherically gorging myself each day from the chronic smorgasbord of delectable world-class spiritual appetizers for which Fanta-Se was known. you name it? ilg was there; Rolfing, Yoga, Kundalini, Re-birthing, Astral Navigation, Zen Sessins, Tibetan energywork, Buddhist chanting, Feldenkrais, Cranio-Sacral, Past Life, Tarot, Sufi Dancing, Men’s Tribal Drumming…whatever it was? SIGN ME UP, baby!
It’s a heccuva thing…
trading big money for seeing personal DreamSpeaks jump into Reality…dat’s what ilg has done my whole life and tonight, on this night of nights…my Heart is smiling broader than a Broadway marquee…cuz come what may tomorrow morning?
