[QUOTE=couch;898179]IMO, all I’m doing with SNT is reprogramming my body structure.[/QUOTE]
That is totally absurd. No insult Pun. that is a wrong direction. IMHHHHO.
Reprogram to what? Can you live like yesterday? You body changes every second. your body is not a car or robot, it is a every changing flow of energy. Not to mention if you cant get into the silence, trying to clear the cell’s memory is just hopeless.
are you standing there denying your nature and subject yourself to a fix drill call SNT according to your sifu’s intepretation? that is absurd.
Does SNT teach one how to sit in the toilet in the perfect way?
See, IMHHHHO, SLT has two states.
1, get one to enter the gate of no gate which is the silence or the source or the limitless or get one out of one’s Mind/body habitual box.
- in that state, one practicing how the flow of force flow.
Thus, It said, Using Silence to lead the action. and only after one could enter into the silence, then one could lead the action. and lead the action is just handling the flow of force.
For the past 60 years, things just pile up or high and deep that everyone, me include, is totally lost. and keep fantasying something which is illusive.
The union of Body and mind is not about traing the body to totally controlled by the mind.
The union of the Body and mind is letting go of your body and mind such as when you enter into sleep and the body and mind union into the grace of GOD without intention.
That is the “Zen and Martial art becomes one or unify” . That is the Non dual. ( It is a Dual if either the mind or body is the master, Non dual means let go of both and the truth surface. )
and over there you flow effortless with
“comes accept, Goes return it back, let go thus forward, using the silence to lead the action.”
further more,
When the chinese says Sum as in Kuen Choong Sum faat or punch source from heart.
That heart is not the mind, it is the buddha nature or the silence that “thing” which is beyond the mind and body. That " thing" which could be clearly know when both the body and mind are let go.
Try it and you sure will get there. but if you stuck at your mind and body level, you will never get there. and always limit or box by your mind and body.
There is no mind there thus there is no fear. there is no body there thus it is not subject to a certain fix way of movements… and Jing is just that flow. Thus, WCK is limitless and extremly simple.
Get the WHAT and how will surface by itself lively with unfix flow similar to the flow of the water. The water have a direction-- WHAT-- but the flow --HOW- is changes every instant and can be anything. Trying to fix a HoW such as to claim a perfect proper way to do Tan Sau is missing the point. That is trying to fix the How.
however, eventhought one can accept any type of How, one never forget or lost the What.
OK. you dont have to agree with me and I am not expecting you to. but I invite you to try this path and see for yourself. the path beyond the mind and body but not exclude the mind and body.
BTW, also forget about those ANTI Ching…etc. with those type of mentality one could not even relax oneself ; not to mention enter into the silence and attain advance martial art state. It cannot be done that way.
IE can one stuff oneself with hatre and practicing prayers? even if one do that one is going no where. When one practice prayer one needs to practice forgive or let go otherwise it wont work.
Otherwise, one is limited by that vengence, that hate , that…etc. if one’s mind is stuck in those box. one’s body by defaut stuck.
Praise the spring means enter into the silence and live beyond time and limit.
In Fact, even the mind, our mind is untrust worthy. it keeps changing and influence by our emotion. You dont have to believe me. Get into deep prayer then you will See for yourself. or go watch some horror movie or sexual movie or… see how your mind got influence.
Thus, silence is also LET GO LET GOD. only when one LET GO the Mind/body, Surrender everything, and LET GOD another paradigm surface. and that is entering into the silence or gate of no gate. Those are beyond imagination by the brain or mind but get get there by action.
Similar to falling into a sleep, can one think oneself into Sleep? no. but one can just drop it or let go and falling into a sleep. we do that every night without the mind. but then we keep think the mind is the master, NOPE, the mind is not.
Finally, the ancient Chinese says, " Use intention to direct Chi, with Chi one transport one’s physical body. " Thus, while the chi transporting the physical body, Jing is activated. It can be transporting my own physical body or it can be other’s physical body. but the process is clearly address. and Chi is just a medium at a certain level of flow. So there is no Chi-blast. there needs a wholistic flow which cause the BLAST.
that is the way of how things works. Simple stuffs
Forget about thinking those fighting thoughts, those fighting thoughts or selfdefence thoughts are just going to attract what you think— fighting, defending. Think happy thoughts and happy comes. why so misserable keep thinking anti and fighting and defending? wasting all the energy. it is a waste of energy every day drill like in 1850 to anti qing and the qing never comes because it is 2010!
if one cant manage one’s mind how can one manage one’s force flow properly?
Thus, SLT. Keep your mind Clean — silence. SIU NIEM TAU.
DONT THINK bad thoughts, misserable thoughts, bad thoughts, struggle thoughts, poor thoughts… Etc.
STAY in silience, peace and harmony and all is WELL. That is the way of SLT SNT.
Have a happy Thanks giving.
