GO AND TAKE A COLD SHOWER

THE SYDNEY 2000 OLYMPIC FLAME CAULDRON

It is truly disgusting that we can spend so much time, money and pro-active energy fuelling our fears and anger through Defence spending and blindly ignore (even regard as totally wasteful) conscious spending and application on projects promoting and encouraging peace in our world.

That is just getting our values in life tail up.

Sure we have the United Nations to promote peace in our world and then there are both the Olympic and Expo movements but in comparison to the resources poured in to defence spending worldwide peace projects might just as well be a blip on the horizon. 

SYDNEY WORLD EXPO is a proposed peace project.

Is it that we are driven majorly by fear rather than love? So what are we are afraid of? 

An answer to that question may be ultimately ourselves and what we refuse to face in ourselves. That fear/ignorance sets up a conundrum that multiplies on itself and seeks outlet periodically and usually in quite destructive ways. The destruction opens the way for creation.

Such a paradox.

Making the effort to focus on the clarity within inside ourselves seems an obvious thing to do. But the wrong headed programming we actually allow to run us sets us up to fail. We are so locked into our thinking and belief systems that we make our own selves prisoners. 

It becomes stifling.

About time we let peace, happiness, love and joy run the show. A little effort is required.

One of the great symbols of the Sydney 2000 Olympics was the Olympic Flame Cauldron  designed by Michael Scott-Mitchell. I had the good fortune to attend NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) with Michael.

The Cauldron is now a fountain as well as a torch repositioned at Sydney Olympic Park. 

We could move the cauldron/fountain a little way to the entrance of the proposed location of the Australian pavilions for a SYDNEY WORLD EXPO on the perimeter of the Brickpit. (See earlier blogs to view the "Mud Map" showing a suggested new location for the Cauldron.) 

A good place to take a cold shower.  - Neville ☺︎

ADDENDUM

The Olympic cauldron for the 2000 Sydney Olympics was designed by Michael Scott-Mitchell. 

Here's a more detailed look at the cauldron's design and construction:

• Design:

  Michael Scott-Mitchell's design for the cauldron was a key part of the Sydney 2000 opening ceremony. 
• Construction:

  The cauldron's construction involved two years of planning, design, and implementation by a team of design engineers, manufacturers, and suppliers.
• Re-presentation:

  The design of the re-presentation of the cauldron in Cathy Freeman Park was by Tzannes Associates. 
• Structural Engineering:

  Engineers Tierney and Partners, with the assistance of LUSAS Civil and Structural, were responsible for the cauldron's structural engineering and construction. 
• Lighting the Cauldron:

  Cathy Freeman, the final torch-bearer, lit the Olympic cauldron in the opening ceremony. 
• Location:

  The cauldron is now a heritage-listed fountain at Cathy Freeman Park, near the corner of Olympic Boulevard and the Grand Parade, Sydney Olympic Park.
