The day after coronavirus

I am amazed with how fast people change their behaviour when confronted with a “pandemic”. The bars, restaurants coffee shops shut, offices closed, staying home, staying 6 feetor 2 metres away from others, even your friends and family. In a blink of an eye everyone has complied to an extensive degree. What will happen the day after coronavirus? I asked myself this questions and here is my best estimation using examples from history and recent events.

This is a dark hour for humanity but there is a glimmer of hope. This glimmer to me looks like powerful lasers lighting up the sky. They spell the word OPPORTUNITY. No this is not another feel good message of the opportunity to spend time with your family uninterrupted or finish a book, or find a hobby, or work out, or learn to cook, sing, or dance. 

The opportunity I am seeing written is an opportunity to change the direction of humanity on this planet. For the first time we are all in the same boat. Suffering through the loss of freedom. Loss of choice. Loss of ability to freely socialize and travel. Loss of income. Loss of business activity. 

We readily accept all these restrictions to our freedom and obey and comply with whatever new restrictions our government imposes on us for our own good. Nobody complains about loss of choice nobody complains of loss of freedom, nobody complains of loss of work or income. There are no demonstrations on the streets to resist this loss of freedom or choice. 

We see our sky clearing from the pollution over China and Italy, the canals of Venice are suddenly clear. What does this tell me? We can change our behaviour overnight!

Abrupt drastic change does not have to come from the barrel of a pandemic. This pandemic is rather mild when you put it in context with other causes of death in the world. CANCER is also a “pandemic” mostly stemming from polluted air, water, earth and our food supply. We now know that we can change and reduce pandemics by changing our ingrained behaviours. We can do the same for other “pandemics” like heart attacks and strokes, cancers and alzheimers by simply cleaning up our air, water, earth and our food supply. Diabetes is another pandemic that will be reduced once we stop the consumption of junk food. Nature can revive itself if only we stop polluting it. This is the giant message in the Venice canals, the air quality over China and italy. The reclaiming of our land and food quality will take more time but now everything is possible. We have proven to ourselves that we can be disciplined and we can change our long term ingrained negative behaviours in a twinkling of an eye.

This is the time for deep reflection and personal change. Look around you things will never be the same again unless you do nothing. Doing nothing will result in more of the same. Lies, deceit, pain and suffering death and destruction.

We now have a golden opportunity to reboot our societies and make a fresh start away from consumerism and into sustainable growth. 

The choice is yours. If you do nothing this will not end well, it will get worse. You will keep electing officials that lie to you by promising whatever you want to hear appealing to the lowest common denominator and then make your life a living hell. The choice is yours. 

Make it a good one if not for yourselves consider your children or those you love. 

Secret Training Techniques of Ancient Hellenic Culture

ORIGINS

I was always curious as to why ancient Hellenic culture was able to achieve an almost unbelievable pace of innovation on and off the battlefield. This small nation of made up of city states at war with each other for most of the time somehow found the leisure time to invent theatre, medicine, astronomy, mathematics, democracy, nutrition, systematic exercise and muscle development, sculpture, that we still use and are still relevant to this present day. My journey to understanding the secret of rational thought has been a life long pursuit. This article is the first I am publishing on this subject and will be followed up others and eventually by a book I have been writing for a long time titled: “Recipes for the Revival of the ancient Hellenic Spirit” The book will take a little while longer, but there is no need to wait.

The Dancing Warriors

There is one aspect of the ancient Hellenic culture that always intrigued me. Their physical development seemed so extraordinary that to this day very few if any really understand how they trained. What did they know about physical training and development? Based on the evidence they left behind they knew a great deal more than our present athletes and warriors. Dance was at the center of their training. You can still see some elements of the ancient Hellenic dance in classical forms of ballet. This form of dance began in Italy after the Hellenic scholars and merchants arrived fleeing the Ottoman empire after it occupied Constantinople. They brought their most treasured books and manuscripts and they brought their gold. This wealth fuelled the Italian renaissance and began the march out of the dark ages of human expression. It is assumed that classical dance began by simply copying the poses of the ancient Hellenic sculptures. But what if their books described a training technique of the body? What if there were detailed drawings of the exercises and rhythms and steps? Continue reading Secret Training Techniques of Ancient Hellenic Culture

Hellenic thought is emerging

Our minds have been poisoned by wrong assumptions about the origin of our civilization. Pericles, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were not the ones that built the Hellenic culture they were the ones that presided over its destruction. The ones that built that magnificent Hellenic culture were the pre-Socratics. They built the greatest civilization this world has ever seen. Their story is about to be finally revealed. True Hellenic thought is emerging from 2,500 years of misinformation.

We need this more then ever because we like Pericles, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle before us, we are now the ones presiding over the greatest destruction of our natural resources, animal and human life this planet has ever seen. The damage has continued over the last 2,500 years.

My upcoming book “Recipes for the Revival of the Hellenic Spirit” will uncover the true nature of pre-Socratic intelligence, nutrition and physical exercise. Recipes that built the greatest civilization the world has ever seen. It is a personal story of my lifelong quest to unravel the mystery of their advanced rational thinking abilities, their sense of freedom and individual rights, their search for the most nutritional foods, their superior training methods and their will for joy, learning and unlimited curiosity about the world around them.

All their knowledge has been in plain sight this whole time. It is embedded in the original marble and bronze statues they left behind. It is embedded in the temples like the Parthenon at the Acropolis, Temple of Poseidon at Sounio and the temples of Aphaia in Aigina Island. The origins go much deeper then the building of the temples. The stage was set much earlier for the emergence of a new consciousness for humanity based on their ability for rational beingness.  This embodied knowledge can only be accessed by shifting our perception from thinking to being. An integral part of rational beingness is proper nutrition, and properly performed exercise. Certain original statues still in existence today hold the total knowledge of physical exercise, nutrition and embodied rationality. The world is searching for answers everywhere except where the real answers lie waiting to be accessed: in the Ancient Hellenic pre-Socratic culture.

Who is in charge of our health? Dr. Mengele?

As our collective health is in decline we look to older cultures for guidance in matters of health, nutrition and exercise. We seek out and embrace the Mediterranean diet, Chinese herbal remedies and Accupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine, Native North American Indian cures, African medicine men, South American Shamans to name just a few. In the meantime our visits to the doctor’s offices are increasing. We look for Continue reading Is Dr. Mengele is in Charge of our Health?
