MORE ABOUT TIM TEBOW

My last post on this blog was about Tim Tebow as a growing master attractor. 

While writing this post I was puzzled by the quick pace with which he attracted over 200 K fans (“subscribers”) on Facebook in 3-4 weeks.   I considered it as a numerical (“metric”) proof that he is a Master Attractor.

Today I saw the front page of Sports Illustrated weekly magazine.  On December 19, 2011 it had Tim Tebow on the front cover.  The caption reads: “Tim Tebow Amazing, Incredible, Phenomenal, Incomprehensible, Mind-Blowing, Unbelievable…”  I think that Sports Illustrated over did itself.  In my opinion those are unconvincing unjustified superlatives and adjective.   

Nonetheless, SI has traction power over its readers...  SI is alleged to have 3.5 million paid subscribers and some 23 million readers.  May be.   When SI places somebody on the “throne”, of the front page, that person, justifiably or not, becomes a Master Attractor.  That master attractor becomes an influence on public opinion and the markets with a life of its own, independently of the SI magazine future opinions. 

Here is another observation.
Sports Illustrated is a magazine that is owned by Time Warner – the same owner of Time magazine.   As history has it, in 1954 Henry Luce the owner of Time magazine placed Reverend Billy Graham on the front cover of Time magazine.  That front-page issue propelled Billy Graham’s crusades into further international prominence.  The rest is history.

Amplification:

It so happens that the NFL corporation/organization launched this month a new magazine titled: "NFL Magazine".
On the front cover of NFL Magazine,  Issue 1, Volume 1, December 2011 is: Tim Tebow.    

The greatest lesson they taught me medical school was :

"Success is it's own justification."

TIM TEBOW – A NASCENT MASTER ATTRACTOR

TIM TEBOW – A NASCENT MASTER ATTRACTOR

Tim Tebow is the Quarter Back player for the Denver Broncos.  He is an evolving master attractor.

How does that happen?

Tebow started to play for the Denver Broncos in 2010 as a rookie QB and became their full-time starting QB in 2011.  As he began playing regularly the team started to win while he was on the on the field.  

His style and skills are described as unusual.  He inspires and encourages his teammates.   He prays openly on the field. 

The media gives him unprecedented attention.  Major newspapers reported about his play style, the leadership demeanor on the field and his successes.  Reuters reported on him, “Tebow, the unorthodox, college-style quarterback whose very public displays of religiosity have polarized opinion and whose technique led many critics to write him off as a pro, has simply been the story of the 2011 NFL season so far.”

Tebow was born in 1987 to religious parents serving as missionaries abroad.  During his pregnancy his mother experienced severe complications from infection.  It was expected to terminate as a stillbirth.  Nonetheless, Tim was born alive and well.   In 2007 Tebow was awarded the Heisman Trophy.   

Tebow starts every play with – a prayer to win.  Tebow kneels and prays on the field in clear sight of thousands of spectators and TV cameras after the game ends.   

Apparently Tebow’s prayers are often answered.   The Broncos experienced a string of uninterrupted wins.   Lately they experienced losses too.

At present Tebow attracted the admiration of over 1.2 million fans (“subscribers” on Facebook).   He published an autobiography “Through My Eyes” and serves as a spokesperson to companies.  

Knowingly or not, Tebow is attracting wins and victories through living in alignment with the Law of Attraction.  Tebow was not heard yet or known to be critical of anyone during a game loss.  Even when Tebow and his team lose a game he still remains a momentous growing Master Attractor. 

Here is how Tebow is becoming a master attractor.  As explained in chapter one of “The vision of HabakkuK. The Law of Attraction in the Holy Bible”, Tebow by his prayer utilizes the tool - Ask, Believe, Receive.

Tebow asks (prays) for a win.  He fervently believes that his team will win.   And the team is ready to receive their win.  The Ask, Believe, Receive tool seems to be more powerful when it is practiced in public before thousands of spectators’ eye witnesses. 

Tebow came to be the source of a new verb - Tebowing.  This verb means to get on a knee and start praying even if everyone else around is doing something completely different.

Thus Tebow attracts winnings, success, and fame with material endorsement contracts.  In the process he is a source of inspiration to all around him.

BILLY GRAHAM – THE GREAT MASTER ATTRACTOR

The Reverend Billy Graham is the greatest Master Attractor of our life-time.

How is that?

He is the greatest public speaker of our life time.  His organization Billy Graham Evangelistic Association claims that he spoke in front of some 185 million people world-wide.  Even if the BGEA overstates, and he spoke in front of only 100 million people, it still leaves Billy Graham as the most compelling public speaker of our lifetime.  

Billy Graham met with twelve U.S. presidents since Harry Truman.  He was the guest of foreign kings, queens and prime ministers.   

Why is that? 

Politicians recognized his charismatic persona and magnetic effect on their people.  He moved crowds in most countries on the globe.  He moved the crowds better than they did.  So, any nod from him potentially affected voters.  His presence calmed social unrest or conferred perceived approval on autocratic regimes. 

Billy Graham utilizes every media channel available to promote his message.  He has a singular focused message – spread the Gospel.  This is clarity of purpose. 

His organization uses the print press, the radio, television, film and the internet media.  

And why not?  Billy Graham is quoted to say:

“I am selling the greatest product in the world.

Why shouldn’t it be promoted as well as soap?”

The Reverend Billy Graham wrote and published 29 books.   Books promote a message.  Ask every aspiring politician or clergyman.  

None of that is coincidental.  Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is stirred by a master-mind alliance, known as The Team. 
The BGEA works with a full time public relations agency (- A. Larry Ross Communications).  It has been doing it for about three decades or more in order to spread the evangelistic message. 

The Law of Attraction operates by inclusion.  Billy Graham has a non-discriminatory message of unconditional acceptance: “Come as you are.”  

This happens to be a paraphrase of the title of his autobiography: “Just As I Am.” 

For these reasons I consider Billy Graham as the greatest Master Attractor of our life-time.  Better yet he is probably the single greatest Master Attractor since Paul of Tarsus.

WHO IS A MASTER ATTRACTOR?

Who is a Master Attractor?

A Master Attractor is a person who manifests any two of the following four characteristics.

o   A Master Attractor is a person who draws a large number of fans, admirers, or devotees.

o   A Master Attractor creates new value in the domains of technologies, or enhances people’s health and welfare.

o   A Master Attractor is perceived as a spiritual or inspirational source in society.

o   A master Attractor manifests material abundance by ethical means. 

Master Attractors are dynamic.  Great attractors are change agents.  They know how to act in alignment with the "Law of Attraction".  Folks sense a great attractor when they see or hear one.  Once a name of a person who may be a Master Attractor comes up the audience identifies intuitively this personality as a great attractor.  Folks do not need definitions and criteria to recognize a Master Attractor. 

In the age of burgeoning social media you can get a literal measure the number of fans and devotees attracted to a personality.   Only select celebrities in the field of entertainment are inspirational.  The markets may sometimes recognize a Master Attractor.

The fourth criterion is weak.  The value of any asset is only a matter of subjective perceptions.  Abundance is difficult to appraise.  Ask any realtor about the value of a property or watch how inflation wipes out the value of equities.
