Ron: And that is what Martial arts is all about. To know more about everything. They teach to do this with your entire being. "Live each day as though Your Hair is on fire" is the saying. The idea is to get everything Working In Harmony, mind, body, spirit and extend it into every thing you do.
The body is the mind, culture flexibility in both and you learn about The Abilities of both, those who know their full potential have more Tools To deal with what DQ throws down the pike. On all levels. Not merely exercise but a way of life. [Krimel] Whatever floats your boat. There many roads to the promised land and heaven is chuck full of many mansions. A wise man once said, "The world is so full of a number of things. I'm sure we all should be happy as kings." [Krimel] Ok, let me be a little clearer. I am not disparaging these practices. Obviously you and many others find benefit it them. I don't. I have practices that suit me. But in this sense I don't disparage speaking in tongues or handling snakes or jogging. Others find value in them as well. Ron: That's the problem Krim, if I may call you Krim. [Krimel] As long as you understand that is sounds like crime and does not rhyme with trim. Ron: The mystical subversion Is in the abstract syntax of the noun class. Plus, dude, the whole vein Of this game is validating mystical experience. [Krimel] Says who? Ron: Mystics cultivate an Attitude towards meeting quality. How is this mumbo jumbo hocus pocus? Having yourself oriented in wholeness, mind , body and spirit as one In meeting whatever DQ throws at us is sound, practical and useful as well as evolutionarily Moral. The fact that you put martial arts and yoga on par with epileptic seizures [Krimel] I didn't mention epileptic seizures but since you did there are those who have frontal lobe seizures who become profoundly convinced of the reality of their religious experience. The Apostle Paul was likely such a one. Ron: In the exercise is good for you dept. just makes me cringe. I realize There are a lot of dorks who give it a bad name who do not understand What they practice. The religious spiritual aspect is just the feeling Of getting your shit straight for once. When all moves in harmony It generates a buzz. It fills you with a sense of empowerment and momentum. You then learn to apply it in everything you do. You apply economy of Motion, you learn to exert with the momentum of things rather than randomly And disjointedly. You move with the flow of life learning to use it to ones advantage. Bud, it's physics in use! Formless form is about using form to your advantage. When you are knowledgeable of the function of forms and how people become single minded in their use, you seem like you know what they are doing before they do. This must always be based in the foundation of immediate experience less we adopt an unconscious pre-assessment and an inaccurate view of a situation. [Krimel] Awesome Dude, as I said it sounds like it is really good for you, so what? There are lots of ways to get your shit straight but that doesn't mean they offer the inside track to the higher power. If I take what you are saying here seriously what can I say to the person who says God gave them a prayer language or that their experience of the divine protects them from vipers or that God listens to their prayers and gets them great parking places at the Mall during the Christmas rush? Ron: Dude, if you were closer I'd show you what I mean, its Pragmatic as hell. Cash value out the ass. [Krimel] Well in the not so distant past if you were closer I still had a chance of out running you. These days I am push over for a three month old in more ways than one. My ass is about cashed in.
