"In Zen Sword we cultivate awareness through Intent and Volition when practicing Sword. Upon completion of of 3rd dan, the awareness of 'karma body' and 'intent' becomes more evident through questioning while practicing the forms . This is the cultivation of aligning 'Don't Know' with activity. This part of the practice is not for beginners [and] is a long process, and like the koans and 'herding Pictures' there are successive gates, instructors should contemplate them.
"It has been said 'the 10,000 things return to the one' . Our karma bodies are the "10,000 things" the energy body is the one. Sword is our compass."
Kwan Um--Perceive World sound-- is a Macro-Consciousness of Hearing the Sounds of the Universe- an activity that supplants ordinary micro-consciousness of personal space. Kwan Um Do Kwang is the perception of an Inner Light that Illuminates the Path that leads to{ward} Enlightenment.
No such thing as enlightenment in KUDK nothing,other than the perception of sound and the light it shines on the direction the sound follows through clear space
