Repulsive Monkey
Let me start off by saying, that I never met the man (Bruce Lee) although I am a student of James DeMile, (one of Bruce Lee’s original students.) And I can say only what I have been told as well as what I have seen. No one that I never seen in the M/A’s has a skill even close to James DeMile’s abilities (except perhaps Jesse Glover.)
Anyhow both Jesse and James DeMile have stayed that they could not hold candle to Bruce Lee abilities.
That leads me to believe that Bruce Lee Was all the people make him up to be, (the best martial artist of at least our lifetime.)
okay if that is not enough proof, try this.
Watch any of Bruce Lee’s movies (the action scenes.) Now watch the same scenes in slow motion. (This can be done on most VCRs if you put your recorder and pause and then frame advance.) You can clearly see for yourself the grace and speed the man had. He even in slow motion moves gracefully, or one else looks as if they are in slow motion.
At least for me that proves something.
Now as far as meditation go’s. I was taught that there are two different types of meditation. The first and the most common, is direct meditation (this type of meditation is generally what everyone does, that is when they think of meditation.)
In the other indirect meditation, (some call this positive suggestion, although I see it as a way to achieve a goal.) In this type of meditation you focus your energies (not some cosmic force) towards achieving your goals, by modifying or directing your subconscious mind you can achieve your goals much easier than the traditional methods. (An example would be changing personal bad habits.)
I hope this helps.
This is an interest topic.

I always find it most disspointing to respond to messages like yours. I thought at first we might have a seasoned debate but now you have proved me that it it is near impossible to do thid with your cooments you made. I find it most astonishing that that you have garnered so much personal information about me through esoteric means , for I did not give you any such info yet you are more than keen to tell me all sorts of stuff about me, and my understanding.
To say that the equivalence of a Tibetan Buddhists mediattion to that of a Kung-fu stylists is inferior shows quite obviously your lack of worldly experience in both fields. And to indicate that Bruce Lee reached spiritual enlightenment through doing Kung-fu is just plain humourus espcially as he himself in several interviews when broached upon the subject claims that he wasn’t. So it would seem that your arguments do nothing but weaken your defence, and unfortunately it is done in a manner so devoid of credibility and foundation that I dare say it seems plain embarassing.
I have no idea of waht your acheviements are yet you claim to have primary understanding of what mine are. This again highlights a very ego based inferiority on which I sorry to say there is nothing that I can do to help you with.
I did enjoy your slamming comment about being constrained and my hierachcial scales when clearly there are no belts or such in internal arts and I’m not the one constraining myself by blindly ignoring someone’s comments (i.e. mine) with a sense of objectivism with that of a solitary shaolin monk, now how closed minded is that!!!??
I think you have some difficulties with the concept of enlightenment as you seem to think you know what it means, surely this must mean that you yourself are enlightened too?? If this case I would dearly like to become your disciple!
Take care HuangKaiVun and may I suggest that you loosen your belt a bit and not overeact in such an over the top and imbalanced way? This is merely a debate not an argument, surely can tell the difference between the 2?
P.S. when you claim that I could not tell the difference bertween external I found particularly funny as I have many of experience in both. I have even more experience in meditation too but then I fear this too will fall on deaf ears, maybe?

thanks for your reply, I do rather feel that there is more than just 2 kinds of meditation though. Though I am not of a high level I myself practice daily at least 4 kinds.
About Bruce Lee, I do not doubt his skills that he presented to the world both on film and in classes, but it is true to say that there were more skilled martial artists around than Bruce Lee. This is not meant as an insult c’os if Bruce was the open minded thinker that I like to think he was Im sure he wouldn’t of been egotistical enough to think he was number one, would he?
By the way if he did something elegant then it will reamin elegant fats or slow. However I take your point Curtis.
I’m still laughing at my own joke 
I’m not
No offence!
