Now every athlete who goes into training conducts himself temperately and restricts himself in all things. They do it to win a wreath that will soon wither, but we [do it to receive a crown of eternal blessedness] that cannot wither.
~ 1 Corinthians 9:25
Olympic Tradition and modern rats
DISCLAIMER:
if you are an Athlete, remember that the words that you will read here have nothing to do with your noble Call
Thank you
DISCLAIMER NUMBER TWO:
please use your discernment to SEE that this rant isn't intended to cast a shadow over your Joy, rather it is a call to True Joy against cheap imitations
Thank you
A rain of steel and fire is falling on Georgia, while the "leaders" of the most powerful States play games around Tien An Men Square.
Both the Freedom Martyrs of Tien An Men (The Door of Celestial Peace !) Square & the Civilians falling under the Russian bullets are forgotten.
It's the face of the modern imitation of Tradition you are watching.
Instead of the Olympic Truce, a memory lapse, and a lack of conscience.
Why do I get angry ? I should know that this is modernity, in its full horror.
I should know, yes, but I am unable to shut up.
Look at the list, the rats didn't miss a single occasion:
Berlin 1936
the lagers where already open, the Holocaust was going on, with German precision.
Moscow 1980
the soviet choppers where flooding with steel and fire the valleys of Afghanistan
Beijing 2008
the Students of Tien An Men forgotten, the ethnic "cleansing" (sorry, the language can be only what it is in these dark centuries) in Tibet is going well (for the demons), and the Russians (probably to celebrate their past "olympic" glories) move war to a small Country.
These are the brilliant results of our modern Progress (towards where ? into which hellish pit ?)
Hey ! They have resurrected the Olympic Games ! What a wonder !
No, it's not a wonder when you resurrect something and you forget the SOUL.
The result is obviously and always a ZOMBIE.
To resurrect the Olympic Games you must first resurrect yourself to the Light of the Truth. And the moderns want to do anything and everything, except that.
METANOIA, the most forgotten word of history and of Tradition is the point here: and this time I will agree with the current, and wrong (but expressive) translation:
CONVERT ! REPENT !
Before resurrecting a Sacred Ceremony, look for the Light !
But we all know which minds conceive and carry on these operations.
The "progressive" minds. The same "progress' that has given you The Society of the Nations, and Hitler and WW II. And then the U.N. (and I will stop the comment before our heads explode).
Nothing is dangerous and poisonous like a fake tradition.
With humility, the Olympic Games were a Thanksgiving and a celebration of the Joy of the Truth. Peace was not due to an order from wordly powers but from the heart. That Peace that the Tradition venerates in the Sacred Words SHALOM, and SHANTI.
The slumber of the Truth can only produce monsters.
And they bomb on, while I am writing this.

Peace Deal Sought As Russian Troops Advance
Western officials are scrambling to broker a deal to end fighting between Georgia and Russia, as Russian troops entered Georgia proper and both Moscow and Tbilisi touted their compliance with international law.
Hundreds of Armenians vacationing in Georgia's Black Sea resort towns of Batumi and Kobuleti are being evacuated back to Armenia, RFE/RL's Armenian Service has reported.
Heated Words But No Action On UN Security CouncilIn a tense standoff at the UN Security Council, Russia and the United States traded accusations over Moscow's aggressive handling of its military operation in Georgia's breakaway province of South Ossetia and the bombing of Georgia proper.
Conflict In Georgia: Chronology
Video of the fighting in Georgia's breakaway regions, and the latest efforts to end the conflict.
Former Soviet Sphere Shocked Into Silence By Conflict In GeorgiaCIS countries face a difficult choice in formulating their response to the Russian-Georgian conflict. All were incorporated into the Soviet Union or Tsarist empire without any clear consent from the titular nationalities and many were glad to become independent in 1991, yet all are still bound to Russia for reasons of trade or security.
The War At Home -- Spinning The Conflict In RussiaWhile Georgia presents the current armed conflict over South Ossetia and Abkhazia as a Russian invasion, Russian officials and state media are seeking to portray the events as a humanitarian catastrophe orchestrated by Tbilisi.
The War At Home -- Unity, Nationalism, And Bravado In GeorgiaAs Russia expands its offensive, Georgia is increasingly sensing that its very existence as an independent state is at risk. The result has been a surge in nationalism and overwhelming political unity as former enemies put aside their differences.
Russia Tells The World, 'Don't Tread On Me!'One can only speculate why Georgia's president decided on August 7 to send his forces into South Ossetia. What happened after that looked like a page from the recent history of the Balkans, and has serious long-term implications for Russia, its neighbors, the European Union, and the United States.
West Fails To Deter Georgian President From Playing Into Russian HandsFor years, Russia has made repeated attempts to provoke Georgia into taking military action against its breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Behind that plan was a basic belief that a Georgian crackdown would discredit Tbilisi in the eyes of its Western backers and cast permanent doubts on its aspirations to join NATO and the European Union.
Georgian Assault On South Ossetia Calls To Mind Russia's Flawed Strategy In ChechnyaLike the 1994 Russian invasion of Chechnya, the bloodshed of the past few days in South Ossetia and the disproportionate Russian military retaliation against Georgia could almost certainly have been avoided.
