Imagine a world that was not obsessed with sporting events for a second.
Image this world, a world of spiritual actions where attention and energy is given to actually making the lessons of past teachers alive and again and advancing them even farther into the future by truly committing to the principles of love, peace and care.
Oh this made up wonderful, wonderful world in my mind.
Sure you can have commercials for "super spiritual bowl" weekend, sure you can sell t shirts/cups/shoes/hats/food/schwag and give the proceeds to those in need...it would all be a part of the event. So much emphasis is given to a current popular game where teams "battle" each other for domination and tear each other apart, has anyone though for a moment the multi dimensional approaches to continuing such combative energies in a culture that has endless ongoing wars?
We are going to "kill" that opposing team tonight?
Huh? Really?
Millions of people using the power of the mind to focus on 2 teams "battling" each other? More war?
Has anyone sat and used the same power to focus on solutions to issues? Cancer? Famine? Hate? Addiction? Violence against women? Nope, guys in tights throwing a ball towards each other while millions seek victory or destruction.
I know I am the "abnormal" one by not being a football fan, but my heart and soul sees the bigger picture.
