d the Dan Gilbert response.

There are so many examples of how lack programming and low energy play out in real life I hardly know where to begin.

So let me start with those people who said they couldn't care less about the 2010 Free Agency.  You know the one's I'm talking about….

Not the folks who truly don't care because they don't know a thing about basketball or aren't really into sports.  

It's those people who put so much energy behind their "I could care less" response.  The ones who feel superior to those of us who are following a so called icon.  The one's who roll their eyes at you in judgement.

Why all the investment in "not caring" if you really don't care.

Because your underlying belief system is controlling your response!

This is lesson number one.  If your response is full of emotion, especially when the words coming out of your mouth are saying you don't care…you might be responding with some belief system about the event and not really about the situation at hand.

You are not in the present moment.  You are not Switzerland.  You have low energy attached to your "not caring". 

What is fueling your emotions will give you clues to your lack, poverty, illness, struggles and drama.

The thoughts that fuel such emotions directed toward the 2010 Free Agency or Lebron James' are usually around anger, distrust and resentment towards wealthy people.

Some of my friends couldn't understand why I was so interested in the Lebron James Decision. It was a perfect example of a symptom of lack programming.

The underlying reason people who expressed animosity surrounding the Free Agency and specifically, Lebron, is their underlying animosity toward prosperity.

I enjoy watching athletics, especially someone like Lebron James, because I know I am watching a person who is clearly living out his destiny. 

Whenever we see someone who is larger than life, like Lebron James, Mother Teresa, Princess Diana or Marilyn Monroe we are witnessing an archetype.  An ideal.  A model or symbol of a characteristic of our core being being played out.

That is why we are attracted to them. 

When you see someone like Lebron James or Michael Jordan, their presence transcends their home team. They are beloved outside of the norm.

Last night, I thought Lebron may have made a mistake or been advised poorly when I heard he had not informed the Cleveland Cavaliers before the airing on The Decision on ESPN.

But after hearing Dan Gilbert's response I began to wonder if it might have been an intentional decision.  Maybe Lebron knew what the response was going to be and he and his team chose not to confront it directly.

Either way, I can easily excuse a 25 year old from the mistakes he might have made in his process much easier than the temper tantrum thrown by Gilbert.

There was remorse on Lebron's part.  Not only did he express sadness for leaving the Cavs but even the ESPN announcers knew, from Lebron's body language that he was feeling the pain of the Cavs fans and  team mates.

The response in Cleveland began before The Decision aired.

Hate, fear and anger were being expressed before they even knew if Lebron was coming back. 

It was pre-emptive hate!

Just in case he leaves, I am going to start feeling miserable now!

That is lesson number two. 

Okay, so those who expressed anger, fear and resentment about Lebron leaving Cleveland were eventually proved right.  Lebron chose Miami.

Which by the way, is his absolute right. 

How would you feel if you were treated like Cleveland is treating Lebron if you decided to sell your house, or quit your job or heaven forbid, what if you lost your house to bankruptcy and dis-valued the whole neighborhood.

You make choices for your life based on what is best for you and your family.  You don't have to decide if your neighbor will be okay if you take a new job across the country. 

Why should a professional athlete be any different?

Yes, they sign contracts.  And Lebron fulfilled his contract with flare, dignity, pride, energy and enthusiasm. Why did Cleveland want him back so badly if he is such a horrible guy?

Why did Gilbert want him back so badly if there were so many secrets the public didn't know about him?

He wanted him back for what he had already proven he could do for the community, the team and for Mr. Gilberts bottom line.  If Lebron had been more valuable to him and available to be traded away, don't think it wouldn't happen.

Lebron got a new job.  A great new job. 

And he did it for the greatest reasons of all, to lead a team to the ultimate goal for any professional athlete of winning a championship.

This practice of worrying and investing energy before there is anything to actually worry about is common among those who live in struggle, lack and drama.

Mark Twain wrote: "My life has been full of terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened."

When you worry about the future or regret the past, you are using up the only currency you have, your present moment.  You are using it up on creating more of the same terrible misfortunes.

This brings me to the collective, mob mentality we are witnessing in Cleveland. 

This is a town that has a collective belief that you must struggle to survive.  They don't resonate with the bliss and joy Lebron experiences every time he steps on the court.

Cleveland's collective, mob energy, ensures it will continue to suffer.

For me, I choose to experience joy. I am happy for Lebron and look forward to watching the magic created by The Heat.

I also choose to believe in my hometown, Cleveland.

What do you choose?

Dedicated and in service to your awakening.

Namaste,
