What allows us to push through and percevere through intense physical pain? what are reasons? the purpose? why expose our bodies to torture? Why be ambitious to climb the highest peak? What are we conquering when we say weve conquered the highest peak in this world? are we physically conquering this peak, this mountain, or are we conquering something much deeper within our own world, not the external world that surround us?
Does this warrent the pain, the lack of oxygen at altitude, the potentiality at losing toes, feet, limbs, becoming disillusioned by whats infront of us, the fear of isolation, of staring death at its face? Is this worth the "conquor"? i believe so? and is it something external that we as individuals are conquering? i believe not.
It is a force driving from deep within the being of the individual, a life force if you will, something that speaks to us, that we do not know,but know, an energy we do not understand, but know it in fullness, it is our essence that comes through, a fighting spirit, not one of survival, becasue fundamentally survival is basic, but a fighting forward spirit of living, to live life, whatever the cost, to experience, to understand in fullness what it is to be alive, not to simply survive. Why, why all this?
To know who we are, we must push ourselves in every direction, in regards to intense physical training it could be; climbing mountains, cycling, fighting for survival,running distances or under the bar, intenity training requires great focus, deep understanding of self and surroundings, post reflection of events and single mindedness, qualities which allow us to be on the path to know ourselves in fullness. The external simply exists based on our perception of it, would the external world be what it is if we werent here to interpret it?? It is a playing field for each and every individual to play their game, to learn how the game is played and to find their way to victory...
Victory represents diversity to all who play, "there are many roads to China" as they say, and intense physical training is perhaps part of a road there, maybe "China" isnt the destination, maybe the destination is unknown and is discovered only through directly experiencing the journey, if this be the case then i say to all, enjoy the journey, if you are rapidly losing the game, change your tactics, take another path, worry not of the destination, but gain immensly and learn rapidly and thoroughly of the "current journey" you tread, only then will your own personal truth be revealed to you in fullness...
Namaste
welcome...
This site is designed to give you insight on the nature of my very own being, it has been constructed to allow the expression of all who are in search of something greater than what is simply apparently in front of them... I would like all to be able to express freely their opinions, their feelings, their thoughts and their understandings of this theatre we call life and inturn I would hope to learn much from others as hopefully some may learn something from me. I will document my thoughts and experiences for all to view, in essence I anticipate this to spark up discussion to why life is what it is, and what is it that exactly is...
I do not believe one can reach enlightenment through philosophical discussion, but I do believe, that thought like anything else when exercised grows and flourishes, and thought is an integral part of existance and growth as is spirit...
I wish all that visit this web site inner tranquility, inner freedom and clarity amongst life and living...
ABOUT ME...
My birth name is Stefanos, it is the name given to me by my parents. My culture is a mixture of Greek & Italian & that of a multicultrul Australia. I wont go to deeply in to my past, because I have 26 years of it & it could get lengthy, rather I would like to focus on where I am now, in this moment, in retrospect to that I am well aware that our past affects, shapes & somewhat creates who we are, what we are, how we feel and think, our characters, our personalities, & what action we take today, knowing this, I do not reject my past, it is me, I embrace it, So I continue...
Am in intrigued by life, I am curious by all that is. I love new experiences, I love and feel deeply connected to the mountains, to the ocean, & to nature, I feel a connectedness that at times superseeds any human relationship, this may be difficult to comprehend, but is an extrordinarily beautiful feeling. I am currently heavily involved in physical training, and I take it very seriously, I enjoy all training, and am currently martial arts fight training, in the form of boxing and jujitsu, along this I exert myself physically with cycling, hiking (when I can, as I love altitude), running, and all cross training. i train intensly because it takes me to a place within myself, that is deep and that is singular, it is connected to something higher. Along the benefits of performance on a physical level, this intense and focused training does something else for me, it assists me to find me, who I really am, what i am of, and how I am connected to what surrounds me... Although all that is here is finite, I will embrace this journey i am on for as long as I am meant to, all that I do, and all who cross my path, and bless my being I will acknowledge as a true gift, that is here to enhance my being, for me to learn, and perhaps for me to pass on something from my own being. This is part of the journey I am on, a journey through the maze and labrynth of life...
Namaste for now...
