Walking the Martial Way (conclusion)


...So to get back to my original purpose for writing this long 3-partite blog.

Self-Defense is not the same as competition, it is not about sparring, or scoring, or winning. It is a humble understanding.

Accepting the beauty out there, and the mystery.
Mystery - not-knowing; without prize in sight, except of the knowledge itself.

Beauty - you can see positive, where there is seemingly none. You can see good, in the midst of negativity. You can find good-looking where you thought was only ugliness.

Thus you develop exceptional patience, which keeps growing to infinite proportions. You can wait forever if needed, because ultimately you know what you are waiting for, do you?

The true Self-Defense is not about being on the defensive.

If you can only respond mechanically, keep training.

The skill level is determined by the spirit.

Inflicting injury is easier than avoiding injury.

Many hunters in one place get devoured.

Be able to change your location immediately.

There IS a gateway to the miraculous that does not require drugs, or esoteric religious practices - dreams.

People are depressed because they miss magic in their lives.

"I love you", 3 simple words spoken at the right time may turn the tide.

Save the fountain, even the oceans with their width and immensity have finite resources.

"Let's be nice to each other" said the Buddha.

"Let's go to war", says Mars.

"World is ruled by Love", says the Mother.

The many faces of Marishiten.

The awe of the Nagual.

"When you see it, grab it, because it goes away real quick.” Barry Gibb

Myriads of transformations ruled by the Ever-Changing.

Toast to the Great Out-There.
