The esoteric mysteries of sport
From an esoteric perspective, sport in general, as well as sporting events that attract a very large number of people, involve a multitude of aspects that unsuspectingly and greatly influence the lives of the human beings who embrace them. The esoteric mysteries presented on this site represent revelations that have been made by eminent yoga teacher Gregorian Bivolaru. On this site you will discover unique, valuable information, that will give you a new, higher perspective and the opportunity to make incomparably better choice.
A fundamental question: Quid prodest?
These truths are most often hidden in the sight of the human beings who are not asking themselves various meaningful questions or ever wondering: “What is the point of all this essentially speaking? What is their real meaning?” – in this context, the current overemphasis on sport?
It has been proven that sport and genius are incompatible
Activities involving abstract or creative thinking, characteristic of geniuses or people with a particular talent in intellectual fields, manifest by activating other brain regions than sports. It is significant that no great genius was a performance athlete, and no famous performance sportsman was a great genius.
The superiority of yoga practice compared to sport
Some top-performance, champion sportsmen have chosen to practise hatha yoga techniques to achieve astonishing sports performance. But no famous athlete has ever been known to match even 12% of what an advanced yogi who has already activated paranormal abilities, called siddhi-s, can easily achieve.
A significant parallel between sport and yoga
All sport involves a physical, bodily activity that has effects on the physical body sheath (annamaya kosha in Sanskrit), while the practice of Yoga acts in a systematic, selective, conscious or even hyperconscious way at the level of each of the five mysterious layers of the inner universe of the human being.
“Mens sana in corpore sano” – an ancient ideal forgotten in sports today
A healthy consciousness and a healthy body are essential for a fulfilled and happy life. Today, performance sport has come to turn one-sidedly towards the physical side of the ancient statement, away from the ideal that this famous statement aims to convey.
The harmful effects of performance sport go as far as collective psychosis
Performance sport has come to have a major, even predominant, result, namely the inauspiciously passionate involvement of the spectators. This is why sport spectacles, especially those that attract large numbers of passionate supporters or fans, can become dangerous for several reasons.
Sport ignores consciousness and knowledge
Some God-inspired thinkers have rightly stated that sport definitely dumbs down the human beings who practise it. An exclusive focus on sport, without time for study, learning and other forms of personal transformation, can limit a person’s perspective and intellectual growth.
Evil “games” hidden behind sports games
Human beings are aptly influenced and oriented towards a way of life but also towards a typically materialistic outlook that gives rise to and intensifies a state of consciousness that is focused solely on the pursuit of lower satisfactions and material pleasures.
An essential esoteric aspect which it is important to never forget
The instinctive cult of the body neglects a fundamental truth – after death the body returns to the earth, and the soul continues its existence in the Afterlife. Considering this, we realize that the time and energy we have are far too precious to waste on futile concerns.
Aphorisms
The Olympic Games were originally eminently spiritual games celebrated every four years in honour of Zeus of Olympus. Nowadays, the Olympic Games no longer include anything spiritual; these games are now predominantly an inferior form from which all spiritual content has disappeared.
