Know this : Stories, Legends and Myths are TOOLS . Their function is to leverage the Mind to help it MOVE {in the right Direction} . Also, and PERHAPS more importantly,, they CAN 'act' as Weapons . GREAT Care must be taken in their 'Application' since Words "Cut like a knife". Be advised.

Spirit, with regard to the Human Condition , has, as its most defining, 3 MAGNIFICENT Attributes, {as set forth by [the Late] Zen Master Seung Sahn} they are : Great Faith, Great Courage and Great Question. I reserve the Right to expose the Teachings of various and Venerable Zen Masters in order to familiarize unacquainted Practitioners to the Dharma of Buddha, and the Tao of Lao Tzu . You must have Faith in not only my delivery but in the Teachings themselves---they have withstood the "Test of Time" .
Stories, Legends and Myths serve to assist the Mind in overcoming Emotional, Mental and even Physical 'Obstructions'. They serve as Aids and Motivation to Individuals Devoted to Finding the Truth of their Essence, the Discovery of their Inmost Being--what Zen Master Seung Sahn identifies as one's "True Self". The Attainment of One's True Self affords the Martial Artist to be capable of "Touching fire and not being burned, entering water without getting wet, and walking through walls without injury nor blemish ". Here now, have Great Faith that Lao Tzu's words are True as are Zen Master Seung Sahn's.

I have somewhat inadvertently delivered Confusion to the doorsteps and entry stoops of my Cyber Friends, Classmates, and Cyber Followers ~~ Please Forgive an old man . My `directive` was directed toward those NEW 'Interested' who have failed to PROPERLY introduce themselves by providing residential location, occupation, EDUCATION and all the other "tions" that describe their `State of Physical Reality` . I am one to "Judge a Book by its cover". Secrecy DOES "Have its Place" in the Psyche, but has NO 'Place' in Public Trust .
I have tried to be an "Open Book" --- I have set forth my "Position" in the State of Reality in order that Others can "see" me . Zen Masters use the Concept of "Empty Mirror" to describe Their "Position in Reality" but I MUST supplement Their Position with the Concept of >Being< an Open Book .
The JOURNEY from Student to Enlightened Zen Master may be described in a Book ---hence my Desire to BE an Open Book .
It is IMPERATIVE to KNOW that once you undertake the Study of Martial Arts {and Zen Buddhism in General} your Life is NOT your own. Indeed, you "take on" the Karma of your Society and PLANETARY Civilization. You Train to SERVE not only your Self, but the Selves of the {Infinite} "10,000" . This is the Most Noble SACRIFICE of the Great and Magnificent "ALL".

I used to ask my Lower Ranking if they could describe their Sword Practice to their friends, classmates, chums and cronies . Very often I was answered with blank stares . They had NO IDEA .

Know what You are doing and be able to Describe and Explain your Discipline IN AN INTELLIGENT MANNER !!!

I LOVE thinking that Spirituality involves Divinity--the Belief that The Spirit is Divine ONTO ITS SELF . Here, being Spiritual can be equated with being Divine--God Like. I LOVE THAT. Each of Us is a God capable of Miraculous Thyngs*, capable of Creations, capable of INFINITE COMPASSION and all that Other religious Yak Shit that foments Emotional Ecstasy .
When Spirit is relegated to the draft of plow and harrow it become Passion--Earthly representation of Celestial Powers . At this Point, [The Intersection of Heaven and Earth] Spirit loses its Purity and becomes subject to Conditional Reality---the Everyday Phenomena of Sense-atory* Existence . Universal Spirit is "UnCreated*" and cannot be "Defiled", so it is VASTLY different from Passion . Understand that Spirit is an "Essence" of All Existence . Creation is an Act of Spirituality--Keep in mind; to Create is to be like God . Here it is where GREAT care must be exercised because , "We Create our own Perceptual Reality " ---We Create the Conditional Realty in which we live . Know this to be True.

I just spent the last hour and a half reviewing all the "Friend Requests" I have received from Practitioners around the Planet . I don't know WHY the interest~~~~ but I HAVE asked the Universe for Readers that will make my Efforts to Change the World worthwhile . {BTW} It is heartening to see that Martial Arts has spread to Africa .
Many Scholars attribute the Origin of Martial Arts to both China and Japan, I can see and feel no difficulty in that attribution . My interest is in the Spirituality of the Arts, the Philosophy and Philosophies that 'drive' Individuals to express themselves THROUGH the execution of the Forms, the Trainings*, and the Teachings.
Elsewhere I have contended that mere mastery of Techniques WITHOUT Spirituality is NOT "Enough". Although mere training for Training's Sake is indeed MASSIVELY Valuable, it is the MIND which also must be Trained and THIS Training finds Necessity in Meditation . Here, the Body is released while the Mind seeks entry into the Vast Emptiness that has Spirit as Universal Force . Art is itself a SPIRITUAL Endeavor . But what now IS this Spirit ?

She had a Gymnast for an apartment-mate, a one who didn't know how to dance along with several of her team-mates. That asked Patrice for Help .

First and foremost is the establishment of a physical presence best described as Gentlemanly. The Avenue of Progress is billboarded* with "Be a GentleMan*"--a GENTLE Man . A Gentleman exhibits "Refinement and Sophistication", he is a Man of Social Grace, Elegance, Education and {of course} Physical Stature presented as Self Confidence . Here it is where the Gentleman is Calm and At Ease in EVERY Situation and under ALL Conditions. He is Centered and Unmovable . He {or SHE} is 'himself' REGARDLESS of ANY Stress generating environment . In ANY "Storm" he is the "Eye" , Contained, Centered, and Calm {if not flat out Tranquil} .
The Social Graces include Knowledge and Practice of Etiquette, the exchange of Pleasantries, and the ability to engage in social intercourse with Respect, Commiseration and Dignity . One word encapsulates this, Conduct . ...to carry one's Self with the Conduct of a Gentleman, and here, The Great Master, Confucius, has no Equal .
The "Blind Poet" Homer decreed that there were only two "ways to go", with regard to Life : "The SHORT Life of Glory" or "The LONG Life of Mediocrity". Knowledge of this dichotomy filled me with Dread . I felt that there HAD-TO-BE another choice, another avenue on which to travel . Years elapsed. After reading Hesse, Jung, and the I Ching 'The Life of the SAGE' 'arrived' to end my Dread and afford a crystal clear Trajectory, a Trajectory that utilized the Values and Spiritual Orientation of the Ancient Kung Fu Order {my Heritage and Lineage through Bodhidharma and Chogye}. The Life of the Sage involves UNRELENTING Study, a Study of Self, Humanity and Self within Humanity [on a Societal and Civilizational* Legend*.

The Venerable Kung Fu Master informs us that "Spiritual Reinforcement manifests as "Self Defense" . Once Self Defense is attained, then what ?
The late Zen Master Seung Sahn provides Answer, "Once you get Enlightenment, Teach". Here it is where many of the Accomplished seek their own Schools to spread the Beauty of their Disciplines and in THAT Endeavor to gain a 'side income' to augment their 'Day Job'. Commendable, certainly.
There is more, MUCH more . We live in the most Violent and Turbulent Times . Street Violence in the form of Mass Shootings [in America], and Protests around the Planet indicate that Corruption is the Driving Force behind and beneath a 'Malcontent' that itself harbors Fear, Resentment, Bitterness and Fury . The Proletariat of the Planet have been subjected to an Abandonment that defines itself with a Diabolical Cruelty that manifests as Political Oppression, Subjugation and Perversional* Malfeasance . The Will of the People goes IGNORED as the Filthy Rich, Squalor Wealthy and Politically Positioned seek nothing short of TOTAL{Fascist} DOMINATION, a Domination that GUARANTEES the maintain-ence* of a Status Quo that protects THEIR Interests .

There are SOLID Arguments that can and do begin with, "Fuck all that word shit"--- I MUST Agree .
The various Forms of the Various Arts are Beautiful. We can and SHOULD 'reside' in this Beauty . Words, themselves MAY contain and even harbor Confusion, since words illicit various and sundry meanings . Mystically, the Forms "Speak for themselves".

There is an "it" that "happens all the time". Dave Brescia, John Souza and I were hammering roof rafters into place, while standing on 2nd floor [floor] joists. I spoke up---"I LOVE this geometry".

How did the NOT "Know" ??? !!!!
The thyng* is this : You can BE a Master and NOT `know` ANY Philosophy or Foundational Exactions*. 2 words : "IT" doesn't matter, the Proof of Capability resides in the Execution of Principles that DO NOT HAVE TO BE NAMED or even Understood . Certainly Carpentry 'involves' its own Physics and Geometry but these THESE need not be explainable --- "We" KNOW they Work . So it is True with Martial Arts as well . Another thyng is this, 'It' aint enough.

I have been inundated with "Friend Requests" from Martial Artists and Others from all over the Planet. I am quite perplexed. Why ?????
When I asked One Such his Personal Politics he responded with, "NO POLITICS, just Martial Arts." He resided in Taiwan, a recent TARGET of Chinese Imperial Aggression . I was stunned.
I have oft quoted a Venerable Kung Fu Master who stipulated, "The study of Martial Arts is for SPIRITUAL Reinforcement...." , such is the True Nature of the Study. However, One of the Primary Mandates of Kung Fu Masters is to "Defend the Truth". Here it is where our Skills and PHILOSOPHY are utilized to Defend the Weak, the Poor and the Downtrodden against the Oppression of Stronger Others . Our Duty to Society and Civilization is not only to be a Model for Mind/Body Spirituality but to advance a Philosophy of both Inner and Outer PEACE, wherein lie Security, Prosperity and Cosmic WholeNess*.

Some-One said, "Where there is lack of Faith, there is lack of GOOD Faith". When we extrapolate we can 'get' : When there is lack of Trust, there is lack of GOOD Trust. I have had dreams in which I have told my Sword Students, "DO NOT TRUST ANYBODY !!" I added, "the ONLY Person you can REALLY Trust is your-Self*".
Somehow Truth has evaporated----with it TrustworthyNess* as a Virtue. Indeed, we live in a Society/Civilization in which Virtues themselves seem not only antiquated but OBSOLETE . Psychologically this THIS begets, Truth is Obsolete and therefore TrustworthyNess is also Obsolete. To THIS "This" we must now add, Virtue [itself] is Obsolete.
Let's Extrapolate once more this time with 60's intention. "God is Dead" therefore Truth is Dead, therefore Virtue is Dead .
Look at this : "The POWER of the Divine Almighty". "We" "Killed" God but NOT His POWER. Now we are "left" with Naked and Raw POWER as the Vital Force of Societal and Civilizational* Behavior . You can see IT rite* ?

Vietnam had yet to make appearance in America even thought the French Disaster was CLEARLY on `exhibit`. Make no mistake There WERE "Scares", the John Birch Society, McCarthy-Ism were "there" but so were Conscientious Level Headed STATESMEN who were DEEPLY Devoted to a Utopia-Headed Civilization. The Threat of Nuclear Obliteration was "held" but in obey-ance*. Walter Cronkite did his "Sunday Thing" in the same way that Fareed Zakaria does HIS "Sunday Thing". There was "SHIT all around"---Civil Rights as an instant particular--but We BELIEVED things would "Work Out" because THIS WAS AMERICA , a Land of Integrity where TrustworthyNess* and Honor were considered Virtues .

In How People Change Dr. Wheelis commands the Necessity to KNOW your "Foundation". This Foundation is none-other than the present location of your Body, Heart, Mind and Soul. I must EMPHASIZE the Importance of THOROUGHLY understanding your Present Location because your Location actually Directs you to the Tools you will need to effect Change . You MUST embark on an Explorative* `Trip` that begins with a "Personal Inventory". Some of you will instantly recognize "Personal Inventory" as a "Tool" utilized by those members of Alcoholics Anonymous a MASSIVELY Successful Organization of "Brothers and Sisters" DEVOTED to Sobriety .
We are `looking-to` achieve nothing short of a SOBERING Analysis of Conditions, Circumstances and Atmospheres {At must Fears} that have `proscribed` no other alternative save Change . Here it is where Mirror, Scale,, Tape Measure,,, and Bank Accounts are physical items of Mental Anguish . Change can occur ONLY when these are 'addressed' and/or confronted with nothing less than SAVAGE Vulgarity .
Here it is where "Half measures avail us NOTHING" !
There is the so-called "Body Politic"---to this I must add, The Mind Politic, The Heart Politic,, and the Soul Politic . When these are combined we can approach Dr. R.D. Laing's The Politics of Experience with unabashed aggression. I NEED my gentle Readers to 'hold' the Conceit of Totality as they journey with me. This Totality represents Individuals as well as Society---when I speak of Individual `portrait` the "Grand Scheme Of Things" MUST be 'appreciated' . Speaking of one is speaking of the ONE [Wholeness, Totality]. Here, "the Micro-Cosm IS the Macro-Cosm" affords Academic Sanction .
However, Chuang Tsu warns us,
"The One is the One, but that which is NOT the One is ALSO the One."
Here, what is NOT Right does NOT mean it is Wrong . Be advised.
We will assert as "Given" the NECESSITY for [a] Change . It is implied that Conditions exist as 'present' and that these Conditions are UNHEALTHY to one's `BEING` . Under NORMAL Conditions we can locate {Chronic} Dissatisfaction as the Prime Mover . Here the FEELING that "Things just aint goin RIGHT" is MORE than "Enough" to "opt" for Improvement which will lessen and diminish a "Harsh" Reality. We want to get to a place that's "Better", indeed, "Betterment" is apt .
I will NOT explore 'Chronic Dissatisfaction' {at least for now} . The Conditions range from Problematical to Untenable and call to question Sustainability and Viability . "Whatever..." . It is imperative to maintain Chronic Dissatisfaction rather to advance into Despair . Despair is not only debilitating it can be paralyzing to the point of comatose deathicity* --a one in which Change CANNOT be exercised .

The Primary Characteristic of a Cosmic Consciousness is that of Receptivity . One must be WILLING to Receive Knowledge that leads DIRECTLY to Change and therefore Transformation.
