Yesterday during Monday Night Football, a devastating injury took place on the field. The players were crying while watching the medical teams work to bring life back into a young, rising star player.
Eventually the game was cancelled.
Donations to the player's toy drive, which had set a goal for $2,500, were well over two million dollars by the time I went to bed. It's probably higher this morning.
Let's take this event, and unwrap the layers, to help understand on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level what is happening.
Mom? How can he fall lifeless like that?
I was asked this question. My explanation was 'R on T' which later Anthony came up with the term, commotio cordis. The heart has a cycle of electricity, where the signal for the muscle to beat travels through the 'wiring' (Purkinje fibers) in the heart from the 'pacemaker' (sinoatrial nodes). There is a brief, very brief twenty millisecond window of time in this cycle where the wiring, which is living tissue, 'recharges itself' and 'rests'. A blow to the heart muscle/wiring at that brief moment in time, causes an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation. The heart quivers like a bag of worms. It isn't organized enough to make a beat. Blood flow stops. There's no blood flow to the brain. And the person falls.
Electricity is used to revive the heart by rebooting the electrical system. That's what an AED is for (Automated External Defibrillator).
Until the stickers are applied, the blood is oxygenated and kept moving by CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)...which was being done since the witnessed fall on the field. This blood flow isn't exactly one hundred percent, it's about thirty percent, but it is better than nothing. With no CPR brain cells die.
Why is it taking so long?
Well, nine minutes is pretty much normal for resuscitation efforts. After ten minutes, with no ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation), most teams consider stopping efforts.
With a young, healthy patient, sometimes teams try for an hour or longer, using full medical, electrical, interventions. If there is something causing the problem that is fixable, like a collapsed lung, then you try and fix it.
In this case the family was invited to be at the code blue. This is a modern concept, so the family can achieve closure and truly witness that 'everything was being done'. There has to be a team member available for the sole support of the family and to make sure they don't interfere with resuscitation efforts.
Usually, the family is asked whether to continue or to terminate efforts, when the ROSC isn't likely.
Nobody dies on an airplane!
During a medical emergency I got to know the crew in flight. Technically, nobody 'dies' on any flight because a person isn't 'dead' until a physician declares the patient 'dead'. I have been taught this and actually last time I did it was during Covid. I had gone up to an intubation, the patient was pulseless, and we can't intubate someone who doesn't have a pulse on the Covid unit. To save the primary doc time, I checked for pupil response, breath sounds, and heart sounds, which were all absent.
Because of the sensitivity of others, sometimes people pass away but the professionals don't want to draw attention to it. So, for example, on a plane, a blanket might make the patient appear to be sleeping in their seat. When they aren't. It's eternal sleep. And they are taken off the plane after the other patients. This is to spare the others.
In yesterday's event, it is possible this or something along the lines was done to spare the reactions of an entire stadium full of people.
Without a doubt, the publicity experts and public relations experts for the football league, the teams, and the stadium are putting together a strategy to minimize the panic of the crowds and the public.
Now what?
You aren't 'dead' until you are 'warm and dead'...so if you were freezing to death you would need to be returned to room temperature before any physician could declare you as having died.
In this case the news is it was cardiac arrest, and circulation has been returned (ROSC).
It's not over.
They need to see how functional the brain is. There is a blood flow test we used to use on comatose head trauma patients. If there was no blood flow then they were declared 'brain dead'--no electrical activity.
For these patients the question is to call the organ donation organization and see if they are a possible organ donor. Then they are kept alive until procurement of the organs is possible and recipients are brought to the hospitals to receive them.
What we do often times now, to help the patient, is to put them in an Arctic Freeze (I forget the actual name of the device). The patient is kept cold through a chilling blanket/blood chiller. The cold after a possible brain injury stops the propagation of the injury and gives the brain a chance to recover. It takes a few days. I would imagine this is what is being done currently in the player's critical state.
That's why there's no news, no updates.
Medically the outcome is still being decided.
A Strong Warrior
I'm giving thanks to this player for helping to awaken so many. The newscasters, the coming together of fans from both teams, the players, everyone has been deeply touched by what happened.
Emotions are flowing freely.
Commercials were stopped.
Everyone agreed that there's no reason to play, it doesn't matter, until they find out if their player is okay or not.
People confess this is a violent game. And that sacrifices and risk of injury, even career-ending injury to bone or head, is understood by everyone, loss of life is not an appropriate sacrifice for anyone. Especially someone twenty four years old who doesn't even know he could die.
I have been watching football, lots and lots with my son, who loves it. I am shocked by how the stands are packed full of people who live, eat, breathe, football during these economic hard times. I understand from a control point that 'Bread and Circus' helps the people be easier to control. But there's something in the fans' energy, in their faces, that has been haunting me. They worship football. A violent sport. The creative energy of the masses could be spent advancing their dreams or solving world problems. Heck, even in my house it would be a lot more organized if we were not spending hours on the couch watching the Red Zone...
I have been wondering how to break this spell on the masses here in the United States?
It looks like Spirit took care of it. For now.
A thought...
I've been frankly, flabbergasted how there's all this footage of soccer football players, the healthiest ones on the planet, dropping dead suddenly during games.
Don't people see it?
I learned a lot yesterday.
People are conditioned to see a head injury or an orthopedic injury take place. The player is carted off the field, and either the player or the news from the medical team is that the patient is 'okay'.
The game moves on.
This was the first time where the falling down and the resuscitation were witnessed together, seamlessly. As well as the reactions/emotions of the medical people and the teammates. Something was wrong. Something was terribly wrong. It's not 'okay'. That's 'he's okay' signal still hasn't been given.
The game was cancelled.
News keeps covering it, over and over with the hypnotic news cycle to soothe viewers.
There's a lot of videos out there, even TV shows about funny home videos, that exploit the weakness in humans that laughs at other's falls. When Anthony would watch those shows I'd tell him about the hours of physical therapy and surgery and recovery needed from even one of those falls he was laughing at.
Hopefully now, one plus one is two in the minds of the masses--dropping like that in the middle of play is not normal, it's a true medical emergency, a life is on the line, and it shouldn't be denied or ignored.
I have a book I bought about Died Suddenly...people, not the awake ones but the everyday ones, need to raise their awareness about this phenomenon taking place outside of this one incident...
Wakey Wakey, eggs and bakey!
This dear player, is an example of a category of souls who are called 'Awakeners'. The last example who comes to mind was the Iranian woman who was brutalized by police and the world is aware of her plight.
It's no accident this happened when it did.
The souls of both the one who hit him, and himself, were in complete and perfect alignment with the plan and signed up for it before birth. The nights before, during sleep, undoubtedly they were going over the plan together.
Everyone involved, even the newscasters and commentators, rose to the occasion. People with their spontaneous reactions were actually reflecting TRUTH.
All is Love.
Love is the only thing that exists...past, present, future...especially in our Home back in Heaven. But here, too. If you just shake the dust off it here a little...
So many now are praying, for this player. For the teams. For the medical teams.
And THAT, friends, is an enormous win for our team!
Here is a video that really warmed my heart. It was sent to me by a friend. Play it often and play it loud! It will make you feel better. It really will. click to hear beautiful African boy sing

I want you to know that this is just one marker in the chain of events to help awaken everybody up. There are going to be no stragglers.
What you will find is as more and more of you become awake to what is important in life, the process will gather speed among the masses.
This is what people talk about a 'critical point' or 'tipping point'.
Once the point is reached things can progress very rapidly.
I take great care to divulge there is no TIME and TIME never existed!
Time is an illusion.
So, don't get your panties in a bunch over my lack of giving 'time estimates'.
I won't go there.
I never will.
I give PEACE.
Peace which is timeless, eternal, and stronger than life itself.
I invite you to engage with this PEACE on a daily basis.
That is enough for today.
clap! clap!
Aloha and Mahalos,
Namaste,
Peace,
Ross and Carla
The Couple who are very much united in everything
