To become a master

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

 

Buenos días (Good day)—and what a beautiful day it is wherever you are! Life on your planet affords a multitude of possibilities for continuing all the lessons you went there to experience. This will allow you to return Home with the wisdom to better appreciate unconditional love. To become a Master, the first requirement being to gather wisdom, takes discipline. Today we will use your Olympic competition to let you see what others do to become masters in such physical things as sports. 

When people set their sights on being the best in a particular arena, they dedicate all their efforts toward that goal. When it comes to a physical achievement, the body must be tuned to perfection. Some who do not participate at a high level believe that you have to have a talent for a certain sport to excel at it—nothing could be further from the truth.

Let’s say that you are a fast runner specializing in the 100-meter dash, a race that now takes fewer than 10 seconds to complete. You can go out and run 100 meters over and over again, but you will not win just doing that. You must practice the starts, paying attention to response after the starter’s pistol goes off. You must concentrate on building up acceleration speed and then maintaining that for the duration. Sound easy?

Doing the above and nothing more, you might win a playground race against children, but you might not even be able to keep up with high school students. Speed comes from strength resulting from many hours spent working with weights in the gym. Speed is maintained by endurance gained from miles and miles of running around the track. Response time comes from total concentration, being able to block out everything but the sound of the gun. Fueling the machine can be accomplished only by proper nutrition.

All of these steps require disciplining yourself to keep your eyes on your goal as you repeatedly experience each aspect of the sport until you understand it, gaining the wisdom that allows you to succeed. Your result is mastery of your quest.

Mastering this human experience you are having is just as complex. Take one step at a time and you will be able to climb the stairs to mastery.

Love, light, and laughter.
