The pendulum - I think you might find Itzak Bentov's works quite interesting..

"Stalking The Wild Pendulum" and "A Brief Tour Through Higher Consciousness"

I don't think only pain leads to pleasure, nor hardship the only thing that leads to success.

I do think they propel or push or create a pull in the other direction.

The world exists/is created in opposites (perceived opposite polarities) - that is just the way it is as I see it anyway.

You don't need to loose fights to become a great fighter however loosing offers some great potential for growth, improvement, development. It also strongly test character and your (what I call) wannabe/warrior balance (relative spectrum's of the same thing).

The lessons one learns in anything (Lance A and cancer) can be applied to any other area of life (cycling, relationships).. I started to experience this with pool and MuayThai and have heard people share their journeys to similar conclusions from math, science, nature, psyche, electricity etc etc

All reflects ALL is my perspective and be that true or not I think there are always parts we can take from any experience that can be applied to anything else.


Riding a bike in many ways is easier than living with and moving beyond cancer. The strength it takes for the later and the seriousness of it makes riding a bike, no matter how much society praises as a big big thing, much smaller and easier undertaking I think.. as one example.
