reflections...

as winter solstice approaches, and we move spiritually in to another epoch within the universe we live in, i cannot help to wonder about certain things...

i can at one level most definently agree with paul, when he says its perhaps one of the last beach sessions for a while, but in saying that doing some hard intense training down at the beach, whilst working through the difficult conditions would do us good, a form of conditioning that simply cannot be found in the comfortable confinements of a gym or indoor training facility.

As i am about to embark on an experience in reality i do not know much about, and as i immerse my self more in to the series the human weapon, i find that the extremist within each discipline at one stage through their training all go to the wilderness, to nature to train, whether its is in blistering heat, or extremely cold conditions, gortex is not an option, suncream is useless, its determination and inner perseverience which allows these elite athletes to push through these difficult pains... we call physical, or are they?

its not only about lifting and moving heavy, akward objects, fast and efficiently, it should go beyond that, its goes far deeper than that, its about reaching a place deep within yourself that takes you somewhere where externally cannot be reached, and externally doesnt matter! but! in saying all this, exposing ourselves to these harsh training conditions, provides us with a setting to find that sacred place within our own being...

the major differnec between these elite awsome mind blowing extreme athletes and us, is they do, they simply do... they dont care if they have to train in 45 degree heat or gale blowing conditions, they get out there and DO what must be done, to reach that place within themeselves...to better themselves, to enhance their being, to be the best, to feel the best...
we do not grow by lifting heavier and faster, we grow by going deep within ourselves and staying there longer and with more intensity, because that is what allows us to do all these things we value so much externally... after all arnt we about being unique, different and extreme???
