Sins of the Mind or Spirit

Whatever is constantly on your mind is what you become. To put it another way, you are what you think. Want to become a saint? Then read, study, and take to heart — the New Testament. Want to become a moral degenerate? Then read, study, and take to heart — pornography. We can’t help it. That’s the way we are made. Whoever we associate with, whatever we read, whatever we watch on television, whatever we allow our minds to dwell on, becomes, in time, our character and our destiny.

Achieving Physical Performance Integrating Your Mind, Body, And Spirit

There have been notable great athletes in bodybuilding, powerlifting, competitive sports, and so on. Can we say there is a correlation with our mind, body, and spirit that will help an athlete achieve or exceed beyond expectations?How does an athlete achieve the highest form of perfection recognized from its peers, fans, and respective experts in that field?

By uplifting your own levels of human consciousness will increase your calibration levels. For example, a person with a calibration level of 50 is considered to be in apathy, calibration level of 100 is fear, calibration level of 200 is courage, and calibration level of 500 is love, etc. An individual that has reached a calibration level of 700-1000 is someone who has touched many people or made an impact and considered the great ones in history. This individual that has made a powerful inspiration has reached a calibration level of 1000 would be Lord Buddha, Lord Krishna and Lord Jesus Christ. A person that has a calibration level of 200 isn’t considered twice the level of someone who is 100. It is actually a major difference and considered 10 to the power of 200 versus 10 to the power of 100 which is an enormous difference in power.

Being at a higher calibration level a person will see their surroundings more clearly than others. For example, a slow motion effect is often depicted for these great athletes. Hockey icons Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux were able to see things at a slow rate playing in a game while the competition pace was performed at a fast rate within seconds. Extraordinary swimmer such as U.S Olympic Michael Phelps most likely experiences things in slow motion, time seems to stop and there is complete peace and silence for that individual even though there may be thousands of fans cheering their lungs out for these athletes. Powerlifters will often visualize before performing a movement imagining how they will handle an overloaded lift and completing it successfully. Three months away from competition, some bodybuilders will envision what areas of their body needs to be worked on or targeted specifically in those areas. They will then foresee themselves on certain stages of their competition phase before presenting themselves on the big show. Another scenario of high state of consciousness is usually experienced by athletes such as marathon runners. They may block out pain, exhaustion, in order to achieve a higher level of performance. We usually refer this as pushing oneself to their limit or going above and beyond. In return that individual breaks through the point and the activity becomes seamless or effortless. Your physical body moves forward with grace and with simple ease as your mind, body, and spirit becomes a whole. As some of us are aware there is a lot of mental training and dedication to be in this zone as some will call it. It is possible for a person to achieve this level but getting there is the roadblock as it takes a lot of dedication, hard work, and involvement to integrate your mind, body, and spirit.
