In a world increasingly polarized by race, tribal warfare, ethnic rivalry, attempts at ethnic cleansing and religious  terror there is a need for a way for all of us to connect.  We cannot operate on the basis of religions since religious wars abound.  Nor can we use race in our countries with so many open boundaries and so much immigration everywhere. 

October 20-29, 2006

We are need of a  force in the world that creates openness, develops community across racial and ethnic barriers.  the most important thing in the lives of many people in the world  is soccer.  Soccer is the world interface language.  Yes soccer is a language.  A language is a way of communicating that has rules of order and rules for how the communication takes place.  A red card is a red card in any language.  The rules of FIFA are the same in every country.  People can play on a soccer team without understanding or speaking each other's language.

Soccer Is Important To People Worldwide

Soccer is the world's most important game. But soccer is more than just a game. It is a way of life. It is a spiritual experience. International soccer tournaments, camps, tours and training stings are the parts of Soccer Tourism. Soccer Tourism is about sharing the love of the game, forming community.  It is a culture based on shared flow experiences, the enjoyment of music, cheering, supporting your teams and belonging to a soccer culture. This is the culture of soccer from Africa, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Many of the fans of soccer do not live lives of luxury in their own countries. Many of them work in the fields, are campesinos and work the entire week waiting for the release and the joy of experiencing the wave of energy from their fellow soccer aficionados.

The sharing of knowledge, the interaction between people of more than one culture, the learning of other languages is our hope for survival on our planet. Everywhere we see conflict.  Ethnic cleansing. Race wars.  Intertribal warfare.  We see one ethnic group try to prevent other groups from being educated.  As our planet increases it number of people, this will become infinitely more dangerous if we do not find a way to co exist with those who are different from us.

Our only hope is communication.  Finding out about how others live. Seeing them in their homes and understanding that they too are part of a family. Understanding their languages, learning to talk with them and share who you are.  Having Soccer Tourism experiences.  Connecting into a world soccer community.

We know that we are by nature organisms that bond together in groups.  It has been our survival since the beginning of our development as intelligent beings. But these old ways, ways I call negative Mind Clonishness.  Negative Mind Clonishness includes a spectrum of negative energy directed from one group to another simply because they are different from us.  These ideas are cloned from one mind to another,  transferred across generations through teaching in the home and school.

If we do not gain control of these ideas, passed down to each of us from the Pleistocene, they will lead to our ultimate destruction as a species. In effect, our planet is in need of healing.  Our planet itself is reeling from our internecine warfare, our selfish desires to control and rule.  Yet we are intelligent beings. We can stop moving on a flow of consciousness and take volitional control of our lives and our actions.  If we are to heal our planet, if we are to survive, if we are to create a better life, we must gain control of ourselves.

 It is time for a new way of life a way of life based on eliminating the negative Mind Clonishness of the past and moving toward Positive Mind Clonishness which is acceptance of "those others" who may look different, act different, dress different, talk different, even think different.  In order to do this, we need to understand them.  To understand others we must learn to communicate with them.  All of the programs of ISAI are designed to enable us to learn the Tourism skills needed to meet the challenges that face us all in the 21 Century. I believe we will make the intelligent choice to take control of our minds, change our inner beliefs about "those others", and begin to heal our world.

Through soccer our youth are learning to connect, to become part of world soccer community. Our international soccer tournaments, clinics, camps, tours and training stints are being developed to be a key part of this new healing experience, the change in consciousness we need to survive.  Welcome to the new world of cross cultural communication through soccer.
