All Knowledge is Self Knowledge – Truth of Learning
All Knowledge is Self Knowledge - Truth of Learning. Today we are living in an extraordinary time. And if you base it on the theory of Yin Yang we are living in a predominate YIN state.
A time of great chaos. It is a time were wrong is right and lying is virtuous.
People are beginning to wake up and realize something is wrong. Very wrong. However, for those of us who are awake we are now seeing the tide turning.
As we begin to go from yin back to yang. Chaos to order.
All Knowledge is Self Knowledge - Chaos and Order
The educational system we have had for the last 100 years is a joke. Sorry to you "teachers" but you "had" a mission and sold out for a paycheck. All Knowledge is Self Knowledge, that is a truth of learning.
And since All Knowledge is Self Knowledge if you teach lies and falsehoods to people, this will cause conflict in the brain and lead to cognitive dissonance. And you will soon find out everything you think you know or believe about the world is a lie.
Martial Art training, real martial art training is a road to real learning. And what do I mean by "REAL" martial arts? A martial art that teaches VALUES, not politically correct bullshit, or that SPORT and winning is what matters. The values of OLD must be taught because they work! The experiment of the western culture has failed! And it fail a long time ago!
All Knowledge is Self Knowledge - Teaching Real Martial Arts
In martial arts, real martial arts the teacher uses movement of the body to link into the mind. The student learns thought movement to use the mind to make the body do amazing things.
However with everything in balance. Kata is a way to do this. But not rushing from one simple kata to another to get a new belt. That does nothing! You need a deep understand of the movement. To feel everything that happens within the body. How the hips rotate, what moves first.
Back when I was in Canada I made a few appearances at my former Dojo. I figured I would teach some classes. And the students are good people. But with the exception of one or two are not truly students of the martial arts.
Why do I say this? Because they were excited about seeing me, like I was a celebrity, not about learning what I know. I do not matter. The almost of 40 years of full time learning I have done is what matters.
As the saying goes, "seek not to be like the master, instead seek what the master sought."
All Knowledge is Self Knowledge
This is a famous quote from Bruce Lee. And it is my favorite of all his quotes. But I do not idolize Bruce Lee. Today people worship other people and honestly it makes me sick. People are only people. And 99% of the people who get worshiped are evil, horrible people! Because they begin to think they are god like.
However perhaps they have knowledge that may help you? That knowledge is what matters. Not what song they sung, or what movie why starred in. Honestly who cares! I want to learn what James Mitose knew, the history of the art. That is my focus.
Better to be a good person, than a great person. The martial arts needs good people. We don't need loud mouth stars.
And the martial arts needs a new paradigm. One of learning, training, and without ego. Today the martial arts world is FULL of EGO. Most of all where ego thrives, values die. The ego that speaks the loudest knows the least.
I have been very blesses to have met some very good people. Men who put their ego aside to TEACH me what they knew so I could REMEMBER what I already did know. Learning about myself. Learning is really only remembering.
And when you walk this path you connect to your true self. Body to Mind to Spirit. That is the path, that is the goal. Not fame and fortune of a championship.
All Knowledge is Self Knowledge in Conclusion
A complete martial art system includes much more than just punching and kicking. It is a study of the natural laws. This includes healing, writing, even growing herbs. All things. Kosho is a complete martial art.
I have not taught in a Dojo as an operator for about 5 years or more.
And my days of running a Dojo, a commercial Dojo are finished. I have no plans any longer to travel and teach Kyusho either. However I am going to build a Dojo on my compound at home where I will teach some selected students.
