Feats of the daring

January 23, 2012 | 6 comments

Here’s a four-minute video compilation of athletes performing daring feats that give the viewer pause.
There is not any direct spiritual message, but the eye-popping clips send an underlying message of what one can do when there is no fear to hamper or halt the action.

 

Had Blondin believed it impossible to walk the rope over Niagara’s abyss of waters, he could never have done it. His belief that he could do it gave his thought-forces, called muscles, their flexibility and power which the unscientific might attribute to a lubricating oil. His fear must have disappeared before his power of putting resolve into action could appear.” ~Mary Baker Eddy

  1. Great fun to see how these glimpses of the fact that God’s man (who we all truly are) knows no fear!

    Human consciousness is catching the light and feeling its effect. Think where we are headed with this realization!

    There is NO matter!! Nothing to stop us. False beliefs of limitations are fading away. Naturally we will see this in greater and greater freedom in all realms of human life.

    Love it!

  3. I am in speechless awe and so grateful to view this video! I tend to be timid – but seeing the freedom, fearlessness, command over the physical deeply inspires and impresses me. What wonders we could do and enjoy without the intimidation of matter beliefs! Wow!! Thank you!

  4. In 1999, after 19 operations (7 amputations) in 22 months, I was a double above knee amputee in a wheel chair. As mortal man, I inherited Kleinfelter’s Syndrome, Polysithemia & Diabetes from the gene pool.

    When I was three (1946), military doctors sent me home to die. I was in a coma, and they had no idea what was wrong. I was tended to by my Christian Science mother and her Practioner; one day I opened my eyes and said I was hungry. I have had healings throughout my life that baffled doctors.

    Just before Thanksgiving 2000, my wife of 34 years abandoned me, my amputations bothering her more than me. I was sitting in my wheelchair, outside, in a light misty rain, bawling my eyes out in self pity, when I said aloud,
    “God, I cannot do this alone, and I don’t have to; please lead me and I will follow.” My nephew set me up with a fantastic lawyer, pro bono, who got me a wonderful settlement. Alas… that is gone and I call it a ‘violation of trust’ and I am deeply in debt. That is mortal man.

    My sister, Christian Science, assists me financially & Spiritually these days, and without her help I would not make it.

    In the summer of 2001, I was the first double above knee amputee to jump at Sky Dive Arizona in Eloy. This is something all need to do before one passes; from 13,500 feet, sheer bliss, serene, like being physically in the hands of God…absolutely “No Fear”. From this
    experience, I got the contract to teach Cheshire the Cat how to smile.

    Winter 2001, I began learning how to snow ski on a ‘dual-ski’ at Ski Apache’s Disabled Program in Ruidoso, New Mexico. I skied, twice each, Winter Park, and Araphoe Basin, Colorado. In 2006, I skied my first Black Diamond at A-Basin.

    I used to have low self-esteem, shy and timid caused by my father who belittled me through verbal abuse all my life; I survived and repelled all this through Christian Science

    From the git-go of the leg trauma, I was seeped in humor, stories of my loss attributed to: Shark Petting Zoo, Lava Wading Pool, being attacked by a Sand Shark in the middle of a desert.

    God never caused my trauma, but The Father-Mother gave me the strength to overcome. It was all through Christian Science and “ATTITUDE”; yes, ‘attitude’ in Christian Science as well.
