Coach Lombardi Meets Ram Dass
The NY TIMES says of coach ilg; "This Yin-Yang version of Vince Lombardi has few rivals..." his peculiar yet undeniably effective form of personal fitness training "...is like Coach Lombardi meets Ram Dass."

"Most modern athletes, performers, and leaders -though they be of our Warrior Clan,
still have little notion of where their Highest Victories lie. The modern athlete has lost track of
where his true podium lies. The modern performer has confused their stage presences, and our
so-called Leaders in politics and business have grown indeterminate in their spiritual integrity thus
confuse material wealth with genuine wealth. Such dissolution of Nobility and Character arises
because - essentially - we have "kids" having kids. Lack of spiritual growth imprints, cellularly, onto our children's children children. Coupled with this growing genetic mutation toward Entertainment instead of InnerAttainment, is a horrible dearth of Dharma Teachers - authentic Dharma Teachers - living on Turtle Island. Where there are no Dharma Teachers, there breeds cesspools of spiritual ignorance within the very fabric of our species.
So, we are poised at a spiritual cusp. Unfortunately, the predominant attitude propagated through the Mainstream's spiritual slumber is basically:
hey,
everybody is going to die anyway,
so you might as well:
1) be happy,
2) have fun,
and
3) Screw working on your Inner Self; enjoy the sense pleasures of the Outer Directed World!
Sadly, these 3-Points all veer away from the real purpose of taking a precious human incarnation;
Going For The Ultimate Victory of the Human Race; ENLIGHTENMENT!"
