Hard work over time to accomplish skill. A painter can have kung-fu. Or the butcher who cuts meat every day with such skill his knife never touches bone. Learn the form, but seek the formless. Hear the soundless. Learn it all, then forget it all. Learn The Way, then find your own way. The musician can have kung-fu, or the poet who paints pictures with words and makes emperors weep. This, too, is kung-fu. But do not name it, my friend, for it is like water. Nothing is softer than water yet it can overcome rock. It does not fight. It flows around the opponent. Formless, nameless, the true master dwells within. Only you can free him.


This is the kind of posts I am waiting for, thanks.
I am thinking about to learn a martial art for the spiritual teachings part (and it can also be useful to be able to defend yourself some tragic times).
I will aslo learn yoga and music (already know guitar, I actually started again since I read the present, after a break of 3 years).

Rest of the posts : thanks for free bump.

I've read it a couple times and I understand what he is saying.


Please point out where I said anything about myself having a lack of comprehension.

Clearly because you're going to uncover the truth about FEMA.

You don't challenge their belief, you challenge their post. You don't exactly know his entire belief system rofl. Nobody is to change anyone's mind, it works much better when you let them change by themselves, on their own time. :D

Good thread and I love this

Ok... So, I am challenging the ideas he has put forth in his posts. If you want to claim these aren't his beliefs that is fine, but I'd be willing to bet you are wrong :/. I said nothing about an entire belief system.

Either way, he doesn't like the idea of questioning the "truth" he is promoting, and points to irrelevant mathematical truths to justify this position.
