Now thats a bold title, isnt it? So, what ARE the rules of this Game called Life? Clearly we can expect a better outcome when we understand and apply the appropriate rules to the particular game were playing. What if the Seattle Mariners baseball team were invited by the Los Angeles Lakers to play basketball? No matter how well trained Seattle is, no matter how hard they try, they dont have a chance. Their bats and balls are ineffective on a basketball court. Their rules dont match the game. Its the same with Life. To play and win and enjoy the game, its essential to understand the rules. The number one, most important rule to understand is the Law of Attraction.

"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world." -- Buddha

Law of Attraction. According to this Universal Law, we magnetize and attract to ourselves whatever we focus on -- whether we want it or not. For example, if you think about and imagine yourself feeling exuberantly healthy all the time, you are attracting vibrant good health. If you worry about some dreaded illness and read scary statistics about the vast numbers of people who are afflicted with it, you are attracting illness.

When you focus on the object of your desire, it doesnt matter if you wish upon a star, offer prayers, or practice meditation, you are applying the magic of the Law of Attraction. This magic is not the exclusive province of any particular religion or philosophy. This magic is inherent in Life.

Thought-Feelings. I like to view Thought-Feelings as one hyphenated word because these two guys -- thoughts and feelings -- are the dynamic duo. Thoughts produce feelings. Choose a Thought -- Get a Feeling.

Thought-Feelings are vibrational Energy which we are constantly transmitting to the Universe. This vibrational Energy attaches, like a magnet or a sticky note, to universal Energy that matches our transmission. Thats why its true that what goes around comes around. What You Think + What You Feel = What You Attract.

When you give your attention to something, you are focusing Energy toward it and connecting vibrationally with it, and the physical manifestation will follow. The caveat -- Be careful what you ask for -- is apt since the Law of Attraction works equally well for creating what you want as for creating what you do not want.

Well-Being is Your Natural State. Joy is your natural state. Vibrant good health is your natural state. Thriving is your natural state. Prosperity is your natural state. Your natural state is high frequency pure Life Force Energy. Because the fundamental essence of the Universe is joy, when you feel joy, you are vibrating in concert with the current of Source Energy. When you are connected to this continuous inexhaustible flow of creative life force, you are literally Full of Life.

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal." -- Hannah Moore

The Cosmic Caf. The menu at the Cosmic Caf is absolutely unlimited and you can have all the scrumptious items you desire. You place your order via your Thought-Feelings and the Cosmic chefs prepare it for you, fulfilling your request without judgment. The Cosmic Caf does not distinguish between what you want and what you dont want. It simply responds to your vibrational Energy Coming right up! Then, unless you resist it with limiting beliefs, your order will be placed before you. The Law of Attraction explains how to order and receive whatever you desire.

If you are joyous and Life is a thrilling adventure for you, the Cosmic Caf will serve you endless delicacies to enjoy. If you think Life is a series of obstacles, the Cosmic Caf will serve you difficulties day after day. In the Cosmic Caf, you get what you vibrate.

Culturists need to celebrate greatness in Western civilization. But this does not just mean celebrating "high culture." America has geniuses in other forums as well. Yesterday, in the first game of the Western finals, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers merited his second appearance on this blog. Kobe is simply the greatest virtuoso playing basketball in a very long time. Half way through the third quarter the Lakers were down by 20. They won by 4. What happened? Kobe displayed his genius.

This was no accident. Kobe only took about three shots in the first half. This is the basketball equivalent of letting two strikes go by because you only need one pitch to hit it out of the park. Kobe's game said, "I only need a quarter and a half to beat you." It is the equivalent of the rope-a-dope. Kobe stood up against the ropes and said, "Go ahead and hit my for 11 rounds. I won't hit you. Let's see what you've got." Kobe is in a class with Ali.

The close score was not a coincidence. Kobe has been at this so long that he can time comebacks. And the timing in this one was amazing. First lead coming with some 2:42 left to go in the fourth. Amazing. It was the ultimate in cool. But, it really is a science.

A beautiful attribute that comes from Kobe's ingenious control and calm is his ball sharing. A few years ago, down the stretch Kobe might have tried to take over and not passed the ball. Now down the stretch Kobe is distributing just enough to take the defense off of him. He can let Sasha miss a distant three or let Turiaf fumble a pass. He knows how much we're going to win by and that dishing out the ball keeps players honest. Kobe controls the entire other team with his distributing.

Never before in the history of basketball, that I know of, has a player so obviously and blatantly shaved it just right. In Hollywood he is the King of Drama and the King of Cool. You think that his not shooting in the first half was a coincidence? You think the final score being so close was a coincidence? THINK AGAIN.

Kobe Bean Bryant is a genius. Beyond MVP, he is at a whole other level than everyone else in the league! For those of you not watching, Kobe Bean Bryant's current play is easily at the same level of greatness of Ali. He plays with the grace and assuredness of the greatest artists of all times. When Kobe plays we witness great moments in American sports history, a role model of greatness for all of us. We should take culturist pride in his achievements. But, beyond that, to watch him is to enjoy seeing genius in action.
