(1) Experience as Rugby League football fan a resume qualification!

     My experience as a Rugby League football fan deserves to be on my resume!
     I've been a hypochondriac since puberty. But my dream of playing Rugby League in heaven is still alive. Rugby League is a dangerous sport. They wear no protective gear, and, until it was banned in 2006, there was what's called a "shoulder charge" where the purpose is not just to stop the opponent advancing in yardage but to inflict pain and preferably concussion. Once an Australian international player was penalized by a strange foreign referee because his tackle was "too fierce" which I found hilarious! The G-forces of the hardest tackles in Rugby League are about 20 G's! An astronaut only feels 3 G's or three times his or her bodyweight. Anyway my dream is to be reborn in heaven with such a powerful body that I could deploy and receive shoulder charges in celestial games of Rugby League with no risk of injury.

     The news media report after each game on each team's "injury toll". Injuries are par for the course and just another statistic to consider. Anyway there is a list of names with the name of the injury and the estimated time incapacitated in brackets e.g. John Smith (knee, season) means Smith won't play again until next season (there's one winter season per year).

     So I'm using humor to overcome hypochondria anxiety. I suffered a very slight paper cut the other day and remembered a comment about how life is fragile and you can even die from just a paper cut. I actually had the thought that I might die! Then I imagined I was a professional Rugby League player on the injury list: Antony Woods (paper cut, career) LOL.

Infinite Good Humor

"How do you keep patience going? How do you keep persistence going? By having a good sense of humor about what’s happening to you in the path and having an infinite good humor that can keep you going. This is the attitude that allows you to say, “Whoops, another mistake! – Well, try again! Another mistake? Try again!” It’s that ability to step back from yourself a bit to see what you’re doing and not to be so in to a particular state of mind or in to a particular identity that you can’t let it go." ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Infinite Good Humor"

It all comes springing out of right here! Intention, attention & perception!

"The Buddha’s teachings on time are interesting in that even though they do talk about time, they don’t talk about a beginning point in time. The beginning point for your experience is right here in the present moment. It all comes springing out of right here; so instead of trying trace things back to first causes someplace way back in the past, the Buddha has you look for first causes right here and right now. Dig down deep inside into the area of the mind where intention and attention and perception play against each other, for that’s the point from which all things are born." ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "The Sublime Attitudes"
