The Monkey and I are on record as supporters of NFL living legend Brett Favre’s decision to return to football in 2009, specifically to the arch-rival (Minnesota Vikings) of his former club (the Green Bay Packers).

We also contend that one’s view of Brett Favre has a lot to do with one’s view of one’s self. Do we believe that individuals should have a right to make decisions for themselves? Do we believe that individuals should have a right to pursue their dreams, aspirations, and goals? Do we believe that it is on the individual to decide what is best for one’s self?

The sole purpose of the Conscious Mind is to ensure the survival of the organism. The Subconscious Mind, on the other hand, is composed of the substance of infinite creation and is our connection to the divine…

“…What holds true for all great masters is that they were humble in nature. Humility is the core virtue of a true master. Giving up on your ego is the logical next step after having mastered conscious acting. Steve had progressed very far but he missed out on this challenge. The higher you rise, the deeper you fall…”
