Cata -

Thank you for a great week in Orlando. And thank you
for inspiring me to come!

***
You asked me to write an email to relate the story I told
you at the beginning of the course, about how I was also
inspired the movie Braveheart.

***
I dont think I would have come if I wouldnt have filled
out that course registration form with Matt at the Pro
course...

When we talked before the course, and I told you I didnt
think I was coming... you mentioned that I wouldnt have
filled out the form if I hadnt at one time wanted to come....

Which was true. I DID want to come.

And I remembered the last Austin course over the holidays
when I wanted to come...

But had let the idea go as circumstances came up in the
interim and intervened... and here it was happening again...

***
As I was thinking whether to come... resisting calling you
back... I found myself lying in bed in the morning... not even
wanting to get out of bed...

Then I remembered a scene from the movie Braveheart...

***
The scene is just before a big battle between the Scottish
and the English... the Scottish lords gathered with their men
before the battle...

Then English arrive before the battle with a force so large
that the Scottish army... workers on the nobles lands... begin
to leave...

... as what they see is the only the idea of fighting for the nobles
lands... against an opponent that seems overwhelming...

***
Thats when William Wallace and his group arrive on horseback...

***
William: "If this is your army, why does it go?" [to the nobles]

Veteran soldier: "We didnt come here to fight for them."

Young soldier: "Home. The English are too many."

William: "Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace."

Young soldier: "William Wallace is 7 feet tall."

William: "Yes, Ive heard. He kills men by the hundreds... and
if HE were here hed consume the English with fireballs from his
eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse."

"I AM William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen
here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and
free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?"

Veteran soldier: "Fight against that? No, we will run, and we will live."

William: "Aye, fight and you may die, run and youll live. At least a while."

"And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing
to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance
to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but
theyll never take our freedom?!"

***
As I lay in bed that morning... wondering what to do... that scene from
Braveheart came to me..

Many years from now... dying in my bed... which would I choose...
$2000 extra dollars in my account....

... or the opportunity to come meditate on the lessons of Harry...
the other Masters... and the budding Avatars... in beautiful space
created....

... and contribute to others awaking to their own freedom...

***
When I looked at my choice from that perspective of my
higher self... from my intuitive self... the choice was easy...

***
It also occured to me that we have that the choice we have
in each moment... not just the dramatic moments in a movie...

... those moments can be just as dramatic in the impact we have...

... and we dont have to wait many years from now... until
we are dying in bed... :-)

***
What will I do with my moment now?

And now.. and now... and now....

***
What will YOU do with YOUR moment now? :-)

***
Thank you for your inspiration!

With love, Brady
