What is questionable is how correlations always seem to occur between somebody doing something extraordinary, or at least super well, to somebody witnessing a spiritual moment by and through them. Isn't that kind of goal oriented? It's like defining beauty as heaven and nothing else. Whereas, reality has the propensity to hold the existence of spirituality in everything, so all you need to do is adjust your vision, and fall in love, or whatever is equivalent to being the state while witnessing a spiritual moment. It's witnessing a spiritual moment whenever you choose to tune in! This is not to say that I can't recognize when some people are better and even exquisite at what they do and not have a spiritual moment, because I'd be lying. Sure I do. And it's wonderful. It's just that I have spiritual moments that are in the ordinary also. I suppose this article is to appeal to those who like sports? And connect with them about spiritual awareness and the Integral model? To that end, in itself, sure, although you kind of screw in the point about some sports containing a lot of red and orange ..... But the article is really about how spirituality still transcends... bowing... to that within us that will notice.... So here’s my beef (or taffy if you are a vegetarian).
