2008 Super Bowl Lessons in Metaphysics
The 2008 Super Bowl game, between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, demonstrated a great example of applied metaphysics in action. If you saw the game, you witnessed dedicated intention, focus on goal, and the sheer unstoppable desire to win by the New York Giant’s football team.
At first, I thought I was watching a waiting game. Having seen the Patriots play a few times during the regular season, I was waiting for the Patriots to figure out the Giants weak link. The head-to-head battle first appeared as a valiant effort on the part of the Giants. However, I expected the Giants to eventually collapse, losing their “all-in” punch, demonstrated at the beginning of the game. Like the Las Vegas odds makers, I believed the daunting Patriots would soon kick into high gear and run away with the Super Bowl.
As it turned out, the Giant’s coaching staff ran a well thought-out game plan. The Giants’ defense was relentless, constantly pressuring Tom Brady in their attack. New York rotated defensive players keeping them fresh to maintain their onslaught throughout the game. New England had no answer to the Giant’s defense’s aggressive game plan. New England must have felt like a punch-drunk fighter on the ropes, talking to themselves. “When is this guy going to give up? I must be wearing him out from all the punches that I am taking?” (Of course, I am making this up but it is how I perceived the energy.)
Who knows what the Patriots were thinking or saying to themselves. On an energy level, my example becomes the kiss of death. Just the thought of confusion or giving up, eventually manifests as “ confusion and giving up”. What we do know for sure is New York won the game that the odds makers predicted they would lose. We do know that the New York game plan could not be handled by New England. We observed the workings of the metaphysical principles defying the odds and a team determined to win.
The Giants played the game with a dedicated intention to win. They believed that they were the better team. They owned an attitude of “never quit and can do!” New England Patriots, on the other hand, played with an attitude of “are you kidding me? Don’t you know who we are?” The New York Giants replied with, “We don’t give a rat’s ass!”
When you understand metaphysics, in the end, the energy is always true. You can touch into the energy of anything, a person, a phone call, a newspaper article, a photograph and any game you can name. All that you need to know is evident in the energy present and the message contained. Now you know why actions speak louder than words.
A lack of energy has a way of spinning people out. Of all the statistics of this Super Bowl game, the one that made the biggest difference was the metaphysical statistics. New York held the edge in the metaphysical energy stats and that’s what spun the New England Patriots out of the Super Bowl.
