THE LIFE FORCE – ENERGY: We Need to Harness Our Physical Power

Your body IS a temple – a carapace of sweat, blood and tears. We ache, we shiver, we are easily overwhelmed. A major feature of our Training Journal is physical conditioning and nutrition leading to the best results. What are the best results? Mastery over this temporal self: our bodies do what we intend with our brain cells.
Now you are plugged into the vast energy of the universe.

WHO IS THE ENEMY? – We struggle to find our force. We resist the urges of undefined wishes and negative voices saying we can’t do it. Be brave.

CHALLENGE – There are plenty of traps ahead. Do not become discouraged. Accept that the flow of energy pulses AND RETREATS with every heart-beat, with our sleep/rest cycle, with the obligations you willingly seek to smooth, excite and indemnify your path.

DANGERS – Many of these obligations are too heavy right at the start: people expecting us to solve their problems AND shoulder their load. We don’t dare get sucked into someone else’s drain cycle. Misery loves company, sand scapegoats: “It was HIS idea.” Others offer false maps that seem to promise an already charted path and comfort on the journey, all for a low low price and your credit card number. Face the central fact that we are all alone inside our heads and you – and only you – must be satisfied with the map you create. If you aren’t there’s no fellowship or wealth that can compensate you for that loss.

OPPORTUNITIES – We revel in and with our fellow travelers. There could be a soulmate among them – for a time or for a life. Consider the wisdom of others, consult other maps in designing your own. Your map becomes part of your Training Journal. Be prepared to alter your map – joyously – with each new and fresh discovery. There will be many. Bon Voyage!
