When I was a child I used to jump out the windows, throw sticks, and stones and hit just about anything. We lived next to a wooded area and my brothers and I had special trees we would climb, and swing from. Living every day outside until it got dark made us very strong. I ran almost twice as fast as anyone else, and later was the wining pitcher in the Little League. As I devoted more time to studies I noticed how much better my youngest brother surpassed me in all the sports. He hit a hole in one at golf, and bowled a 300. I remember there was many years when no team ever beat us in sports.
We lived with our grandparents. Both grandfathers owned produce stores. My mother's father was very strong. He told us how fast he used to run, and that when he had a contest with his brothers. He lifted a table of potatoes that weight 1223 lbs. on his back; but his brother lifted one with two more pounds on it and won.
The stories he told us made us think that there were no limits to the human potentials. The ancient mysteries and myths of past heroes fascinated us. There were many books we read, and our dad had a very good collection of comic books that were filled with super heroes.
In the seminary, I studied the Latin, and Greek myths, and especially the lives of the saints. The Bible was filled with saints that did supernatural deeds for the plan of God that help mold our spiritual formation. We also studied the religions of the world and how the sages meditated to become a better person.
While studying these books, I learned about how holy men could not be kept in prisons, because they were always able to escape. Zen masters practiced for long periods alone in caves; until they discovered a new teaching. They taught how every word has power, and special words were saved for sacred mantras. Meditation,contemplation, Zen, Tai Chi and many other techniques have there origins from the original discoveries that the ancients practiced.
Many advances to the human being came from evolutionary improvements; yet some unique advances came suddenly. These were call quantum evolution. Some advances came about because we discovered something better: like the power of the group, the protection of caves, the trees, and the use of tools, weapons, the power of fire, eating meat, and learning agriculture.
Much later humans developed language, and cities. The built programs to tell the seasons, navigate and build huge monuments. Then the tools for a democratic society was developed in the Golden Age, and modern mankind was born.
Along with the techniques on the masters, sacred scripture taught us how to live the true way of life,that we are still trying to follow. Psychological discoveries help us develop techniques to use the mind to heal the body through positive reinforcement, biofeedback, and visualization.
Along with prayer, meditation, contemplation, Zen, yoga, tai Chi, body work, there is visualization and group dynamics. All of these can be used together for optimum growth, and development by practicing Holistics and emboding the results.
