Dewa Missives; Problems

My most precious daughter Dewachen,
you've been running a fever now for nearly three days. you are pretty miserable yet you don't complain. you look at Amma and i with such confusion from your tear-stained, feverish cheeks, asking, "Why?"

in our Tradition of WF, sweetheart, we train ourselves and our students not to even use the Word Choice, "Problems." for nothing truly is a 'problem' as much as it is an opportunity for enhancing our strength; physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. often, 'problems' improve each of those uniquely Human qualities. instead of using the word, "problems" we use the word, "challenge" or "opportunity" or something like that.

one day, you'll probably giggle at this story;
because your Amma and Abba chose not to vaccinate you, we came up with a different term for what people call, "colds" or "illness"...we call them, IDEO's. it stands for: Immune Developmental Enhancement Opportunity. we have even taught it to our Students! the Teaching in this new term is to re-mind us that colds and sickness are not problems to be solved. they are more like barbells to be lifted to make us stronger.

i know it must be so hard;
you've just arrived a little over 2 years ago from the Astral Plane where sickness, snakes, bugs, and all the crazy Dualities inherent to a Human Incarnation do not exist.

"Why?"

Darling Dewa,
we can never run away from problems...if we try, we will continue to face the same type of problem(s) over and over and endlessly over again - this lifetime or another - until we finally do what it takes from deep within us to arise to the curriculm...

WF Cancer Warrior T; pits SR Herbs and Sweat alongside the Medical Machine

MahaYogi Buddha taught,
"Living within a mortal body is like living in a house on fire."


when faced with their own Bardo M(om)ent...fitness warriors around the world - some of whom used to criticize and make fun of my Wholistic methods - suddenly contact me as the once-solid illusion of their bodies and minds begins to crumble. they don't call CrossFit® or CTS® or the owner of Chi Running®...scared and confused, they Knock on the Temple Doors of WF...the highest, most humble, most aggressively natural healing Temple of Transpersonal Fitness ever created on Turtle Island...


Student T is not one such scared, confused seeker;
he is a Noble Finder and long-time WF Devotee.
his Clarity instead of Confusion
as he was diagnosed with deep Cancer
is an absolute stunning Shock of Inspiration for all of us...

read,
study,
worship this Warrior's Words
uttered straight from the Battlefield of Cancer:



EXCERPTED FROM PRIVATE Teacher/Student Counsel from my Inbox today; do not republish:


Brother Steve:

Finished last part of the surgery today, biopsy bresults tomorrow.

Surgeon asked, do you have any questions? I had one. "When can I Sweat?"

(as in sweat and stillness)

Stopped him cold.

His medicine is with the knife and the pill.

Mine is with my mind and my heart.

He replied, "I don't know."

Well, tomorrow we start back on the sweat again (not capitalized). He prescribed Vicodin for the pain. He made his exit when I told him I have never taken a pain pill, I prefer a reality pill (ie, enjoy the present moment). I am not kidding that 71 days into this diagnosis I am stronger mentally then I have ever been.

Now here is the good news...all my opacities are gone or are going, lungs are getting clearer..my use of the Ilg prescribed Boomerang Run® has helped tremendously..I have been pushing my lungs and heartbeat so fucking hard...my lymph nodes have been a little more stubborn...though...

I bow down to your silent powerful teachings.

I am busted on the dough; I need to strategically purchase one or two Sunrider herbs for cell regen and life force.

If you had $100 bucks and everyone betting against you, what would you buy?

See you in the sangha.

I am grateful for your presence in my life.

T

FOOD POISONING as YOGA; 3 Teachings

"and to my local HP Yoga Sangha; sorry for being MIA last night...trust me, ilg woulda rather been training my abs with you in PROP WORKOUT than training them before the awlmighty and unforgiving Porcelain Throne..."


***

"I am burning.
If anyone lacks tinder,
let him set his rubbish ablaze with my fire."
- Rumi
translated by Kabir Halminski and Camille Helminski

that was friggin' gnarly.
well, the "guru" ate some unblessed flesh food (natural, free range chicken from a health food store) and both Ananda and i spent yesterday writhing in digestive agony.

when you have been on the SUNRIDER Herbs, and MAP Amino Acids, and when you have followed the potency of Wholistic Fitness Nutritional Principles (as outlined in TOTAL BODY TRANSFORMATION) for as long as i have, you get spoiled.

you get used to feeling superhuman, and as a result of decades of living each day at a world-class level of fun and fitness when Shiva does visit you with a biologic smackdown like He did to Joy and i yesterday?

you realize that you are undertrained in dealing with the agony of being sick.

so, if in your meditations yesterday, you could hear me moaning the Mantra, please excuse the ugliness...ilg was hurtin...couldn't even teach Prop last night. thank you, Steph, for substituting for me last night. and to my local HP Yoga Sangha; sorry for being MIA...trust me, ilg woulda rather been training my abs with you in PROP WORKOUT than training them before the awlmighty and unforgiving Porcelain Throne.

The Yoga of Food Poisoning points some very demanding fingers at a few pivotal Teachings;

Behold...A Cold!! My 10-Steps To Enjoying The Empowerment of an 'Uncommon' Cold!

i would like to go official on the Temple Scrolls to report gleefully that i am beholding a 'cold'!!!

now, some of you may think that i made myself sick over my poor Avalanche hockey team losing to Detroit in an unmentionable 'sweep' in the Stanley Cup Playoffs...aaaargh.

perhaps, however, as you'll read in a moment, a more feasible reason exists...
my point is that i am totally stoked i have a 'cold'!!!

yeah!!!!

why so happy am i that i finally have a 'cold'?...well, the reasons for celebration are MANY!


a 'cold' is a fantastic thing...in fact, in this Temple H(om)e i do not refer to it as a 'cold' as much as i use the term, 'immune development enhancement opportunity' or an "IDEO".

now there are several great things about having an IDEO for me (note; ME...steve ilg, not you, the following is my own Direct Experience and should be considered and consumed as such...)

1) finally, after several years of not hosting any illness whatsoever*, ilg can now obviously be seen to the common masses that i am just an average schmoe...my blood is red and i am not a 'mutant' like OUTSIDE MAGAZINE calls me. it's just the highly extra-ordinary immune system empowerment of the WF Path of Yoga that causes the cellular body to vibrate so high that illnesses of the common man never reach the WF Yogi save for once in every great while. and, when these rare afflictions do visit us, we honor them become they leave us so quickly!

2) hosting an IDEO gives me an uncommon chance to...

THIS ENTRY IS ONE OF THOSE IMPERATIVE "DL KEEPERS"!!! join today and read how a world-class yogi/athlete absolutely devours the physical and metaphysical teachings of a 'cold'! do you even realize why it's called a 'cold'?

* save for my Cold-Triggered Exercise Induced Asthma of 2007 which doesn't count since that was due to a world-championship effort done at 12,000' in alititude.

an athlete living with asthma

A Spike Too Soon. after doing something that may have never been done in the history of mankind (somebody check!), i have seemingly gone and done my own self in! after living in the sea level and smuck of LA for a decade, within two years of moving back to high altitude, i have won four high altitude championships. the most recent one, however, brought the spike of my training graph a bit too high. i am paying the price for it.

Hi, my name is steve ilg. i study Wholistic Fitness and have enjoyed a long, full life blessed by
extreme outdoor sports which i've used as my catalyst for spiritual growth. i have been sponsored since age 16 and will be 45 next month. i am Chairman of the
Board of my local bike racing team; Red Rock Racers. pictured above, i am wearing our new 'kit' for 2007 which i helped design. you like it?

oh, and also i am asthmatic.

what?

who?

where?

how?

while decimating the competition and setting a new Course Record at the World's Highest Nordic Ski Race in Telluride, Colorado on March 10th, i also decimated my lungs. subsequent tests and research unveiled a gnarly fact; i gave myself a condition known to affect cross country skiers, mountaineers, and well, most currently;
America's Outdoor Athlete; me. it's called Cold Triggered Exercise-Induced Asthma. it's not curable. it just kinda
goes away after several months of not aggravating it by three things:
1) exercise
2) exercise in the cold
3) exercise in the high altitude

great. i NEVER do THOSE things...

contemporary Western Medicine states - using its ever sterile language - that i should stay away from those three things i just mentioned. if perchance i DO happen to do any of them, why then, just take hit of Albuterol before and after the activity so my lungs can still function.

wow. Training on an Inhaler! What a 'blast'!

this may come as a shock, however, i ain't buying that line. i TAF i can dance with this condition naturally, using...
