[AkhirZaman.org] Biasanya suhu inti tubuh seseorang sekitar 97,8 derajat Fahrenheit. Tetapi ketika seseorang terkena dingin untuk jangka waktu yang lama, hipotermia dapat mengaturnya.
Begitu suhu tubuh mencapai 90 derajat, organ vital mulai melambat dan kematian bisa datang dalam beberapa menit. Namun tidak untuk Wim Hof dari Belanda ini.
Wim, juga dikenal sebagai Manusia Es, memiliki ketahanan yang kuat terhadap dingin sehingga para ilmuwan tetap bingung bagaimana tubuhnya bertahan dalam suhu ekstrem yang membekukan yang akan membunuh kebanyakan orang.
Misalnya, pada Januari 1999 dia melakukan perjalanan 100 mil ke kutup utara untuk berlari setengah maraton dengan kaki telanjang. Tiga tahun kemudian, Wim meraih rekor dunia Guinness.
Ketika dia menyelam di bawah es di Kutub Utara hanya dengan mengenakan pakaian renang. Dia menahan napas selama lebih dari 6 menit saat berenang 265 kaki di bawah es, hampir dua kali panjang kolam ukuran Olimpiade. Kemudian Hof mencoba mendaki Gunung Everest dengan celana pendeknya (tetapi tidak dapat menyelesaikannya karena cedera kaki).
Hof mengatakan dia menemukan kemampuannya untuk menahan suhu dingin lebih dari 20 tahun yang lalu. Banyak ilmuwan sedang bekerja untuk mencari tahu bagaimana pria Belanda berusia 49 tahun itu mampu menahan suhu beku yang bisa berakibat fatal bagi kebanyakan orang.
Wim secara sederhana menggambarkan kemampuannya sebagai dapat menggunakan otaknya untuk mengatur pemanas tubuhnya sendiri.
Pada tahun 2008, di New York City, Wim memecahkan rekor dunia sebelumnya dengan tetap tenggelam dalam es hingga leher selama 1 jam, 13 menit, dan 48 detik tanpa mengenakan apa pun selain pakaian renang! Tidak ada orang lain di luar sana yang bisa menyaingi dia. Dia terus memecahkan rekornya sendiri.
Dalam Alkitab kita diberitahu bahwa lebih baik menjadi panas atau dingin daripada memiliki termostat (pemanas tubuh) rohani kita yang suam-suam kuku.
Tuhan memperingatkan gereja Laodikia, sebuah gereja yang mewakili zaman kita sekarang, “Aku tahu pekerjaanmu, bahwa engkau tidak kedinginan atau panas. Aku bisa berharap kamu kedinginan atau panas. Jadi, karena kamu suam-suam kuku, dan tidak dingin atau panas, Aku akan memuntahkan kamu dari mulut-Ku” (Wahyu 3:15,16 KJV).
Mengapa tulisan ini yang begitu keras? Orang percaya ini tidak merasakan kebutuhan mereka akan Roh Kudus. Hidup di dunia yang dingin, mereka akan segera mati secara rohani dan bahkan tidak menyadarinya.
AYAT INTI
“Aku tahu pekerjaanmu, bahwa engkau tidak dingin atau panas: Aku akan engkau dingin atau panas.” (Wahyu 3:15)
Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to legendseeker earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.
Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at brightcanvas extended that gentle reset, content that provides genuine refreshment rather than just distraction during work breaks is content with a particular kind of utility and this site fits that role for me reliably during work days.
Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at strategylaunchpad continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.
Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to motionwithmeaning kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.
Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at easternvista extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.
Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at claritydrivesvelocity only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.
Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at brightcanvas earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.
Started a draft response in my head and ended without publishing it because the post said it well enough, and a look at expertvoyager produced the same effect, content that satisfies my urge to add to it by being complete enough on its own is rare and represents a particular kind of editorial completeness here.
Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at focusacceleration added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.
Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at growthwithoutnoise earned the same sustained focus, content that defeats my drift tendency is content with substantive pulling power and this site has demonstrated that pulling power across multiple pieces in a session that has now run quite long actually.
Reading this felt easy in the best way, no friction and no confusion at any point, and a stop at focusbeatsfriction carried that same comfort across more pages, the kind of editorial flow that lets you absorb information without fighting the format which is increasingly hard to find on the open web today across topics.
Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to actiondrive only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at pathwaytoaction suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at intentionalprogresspath expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at clarityguidesmotion added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at directionbuildsmomentum did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at claritycreatesmomentum extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at trustalignment continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.
