Autoblographical

Soul Thoughts

I’m having some voice identity issues with SoulFit.  Bottom line is I’m not sure who I am or should be as I write.  Should I be Pastor, Soul Coach or Mountain-top Meditator?  The answer really depends on the objective of SoulFit.  My hope is that it can be a tangible aid for the sometimes intangible aim of spiritual growth.  With this in mind I’m making some modifications.
Originally, I envisioned it a Crossfit-esque weekly workout site with supplementary posts throughout the week – almost a dispassionate presentation of activities.   The workouts won’t change – though I’m hesitant to use weekly in the description. What will change is the addition of me.

Entropy

Entropy

Part of the motivation of SoulFit was to help me grow. The posted workouts are ones that I’ve done in the past or am doing now.  I know that without focused attention on growing spiritually I tend towards a state of soul-entropy.  Just as in nature, I’ll move from order to disorder if I don’t apply conscious effort to this soul cultivation.  So, rather than keep me out and separate, I plan on including my efforts at dealing with the up and down, order and disorder, roller-coaster ride of my own soul development and thoughts.  SoulFit thus becomes more of what I call “Autoblographical” in nature and less machinated and dispassionate.
I welcome and need your comments, thoughts and inputs as entropy works in an isolated system.  Pull up a chair and come along for the ride.

2012: So What?

Workouts

I heard that the world is coming to an end soon – specifically, December 21, 2012.    The Mayan long count calendar ends on that day and people are speculating (wildly?) that something cataclysmic and world changing will occur. USA Today “clarifies”

Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that “whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time,”

Predictions range from end of the world apocalypse and doom to a new age of love and a dawning “age of Aquarius.” My question, and the SoulFit workout, is SO WHAT?  If the world IS indeed ending 1229 days from now, what will you do differently now?  If you really had the three years or so left, would that affect your actions, priorities, and plans?

Take a half-hour, or at least 15 minutes, to think about this.  Are there things you would regret or places you would have wanted to see?  Are you doing that which is truly important and meaningful?
