Very much enjoyed watching the movie Mandela and de Klerk, the story of  Nelson Mandela played by the wonderful Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine as F.W. de Klerk.  Of course the acting is excellent and the story is riveting and what a relief:  No profanity or nudity.  Unfortunately, because of the nature of apartheid/segregation, violence was depicted in a graphic manner--all offset by the stimulating conversations of Mandela and de Klerk in their attempts to end the violence and end segregation in South Africa.  This film inspires because it shows what one majestic man and his followers did to change the history of segregation in South Africa.  Poitier is a credit to his race and his profession and Caine certainly does a swell job in his role.  Four stars to this well-produced film set in Cape Town,  South Africa.

 

January 2^nd 2008 -  I woke up a little tired and apprehensive about the year.  It is so true that getting up around 6:00 is a major key for me and my success.  I know that my year is about taking the best care of myself ever.  Graceful day I had.  Not a lot of energy, but clean.  Real good food choices and a mid afternoon nap.  The biggest gift of being really present today was experiencing my son Kai suggest praying for his cousin, who we just found out has a bone infection in his leg.  I am real excited about tomorrow.  Another day of mystery unfolding.

"Free of conditioned thinking, we experience our true nature.

Caught in conditioned thinking, we experience only who we think we are." - Tao Te Ching

As much as I love this quote from the ancient text of Daoist wisdom, it's missleading. We are all subject to conditioned thinking, that's how we get anything done. If we didn't condition ourselves to think like a golfer on the golf course, for example, we couldn't hit a shot. What is limiting is not conditioned thinking itself. The problem is that we believe we are free of pre-programed conditioning by schools, parents, media, pharmaceutical companies and our own unwillingness to take responsibility for what really matters to us. Habitual thought patterns of blame, denial and excuses are great examples of conditioning that doesn't serve anyone. Does your conditioning serve you? How can you tell? Look at your results. Look at the quality of your life. Is it what you want?

Question your own mind. Question your thoughts. Question whether or not your conditioned mind serves you, or makes you small. I may not know you personally, but I stand for what I know. I know you are bigger than that. I know what you are capable of. Choose conditioned thoughts that serve you.
