The title of this post alludes to my post of 7/27/2011.
Seeing people do stuff like what's shown in this video really fires up my imagination about the potentials of physicality. I wonder whether it's possible to perform such feats without having embodied, physical, active love and respect for one's body and physical surroundings.
Note that I do not mean the word "love" here in a romantic or "mushy" sense. Some people define the word "love" as having to do with interest, curiosity, and sustained attention. The one we love, the activity we love, receives our interest, our curiosity, and ongoing energy from us in the form of attention. You need to have attended to and investigated your body and surroundings pretty thoroughly to be able to safely jump off high buildings and so on. You'd also need healthy respect for your physical needs, your physical perceptions, and your current physical boundaries.
Speaking of love and respect, for some reason the last frames of this video display the word "Hated." I don't know why.
