The Super Bowl of Life

I am eating popcorn this afternoon watching the annual American ritual of big men in brightly colored uniforms running for the goal – Super Bowl 40. Now, before you jump to conclusions that I am not a football fan let me assure you that I was raised in the South where demonstrating football mania was as necessary as having a church home.

Ask my husband. I have been known to become completely obnoxious when my team was in a major play-off game.

What catches my attention this sunny Sunday is the roar of the fans waving their flags and dressing up in outrageous costumes to express their enthusiastic spirit.

Now that is what I call support!

Wouldn’t it be great if we experienced that kind of support as we played the game of life?

As a Spiritual Scientist I view the game of life as – my human reactive nature vs my cocreative divine nature. Or simply put, as I
Change a bad habit into a good habit
Make a choice to open my heart when my feelings are hurt
Shift out of fair/unfair thinking and embrace the highest good
Forgive myself and accept my mistake
Let go of needing to be perfect or know it all
Face and overcome a crippling fear


Yes, this definitely works for me. How about you? How about 30,000 fans cheering you on as you run down the field of life carrying the ball to make that goal... for not taking that comment personally, choosing to learn the lesson... and remembering that first, you are a spiritual being and a human being second!

How would you like an all-seeing, bigger perspective Coach on the sidelines calling the plays? Someone who sees how to avoid the hard knocks of letting your ego lead, slip past the illusions of lack, know when to pass it off to acceptance when you’re slipping into low self-esteem and take that risky break-through throw when fear is charging across the line.

For the Human Nature Team is very experienced in the ‘games’ of right/wrong thinking, enough/not enough perceptions, just/unjust judgments, and good/bad blaming. And their competitors, the Divine Nature Team: weaker in muscle but carrying more weight in the self-forgiveness, compassion, happiness, wealth, health, and upliftment.

The Human Nature team strategy is defending the status quo at any cost. The Divine Nature Cocreation team is focused on learning, growth and living from Soul.

Now, here is game to watch!
Who are you cheering for?

Love it all,
Rebecca
