Forever Mind Once the internal aspects of our being are dealt with the outer aspects of our lives also fall into order. We have to face reality and not attempt to sweep it under the carpet. Sitting and wondering what to do and who to call will not help,always know that no one helps unless you help yourself and they see results,only then do people come forward to help. It’s something like a bank who will willingly give you an umbrella when there is sunshine and promptly take it away when it rains. For our internal aspects to be orderly one must first decipher all the messages that the mind send to us. This is not easy but the process gets easier as one manages to understand that some of the messages are false alarms triggered by the motor perception of other parts of the body. Once we are able to distinguish between the factual messages and the false messages that is 50% of the battle as then even if people tell you something opposite it will not make a difference to your reality as you will then know that they are lying. As we develop this ability to understand see and forsee our physical obstacles also start disappearing. All difficulties slowly start disappearing and one can sense the positive energy and the effects of everything positive coming through. They have a tendency to repeatedly try to put our mind under torture but the more the repititive methods the greater is our resilience as martial artists. The reason being that the more they repeat their methods on the mind the more practiced we get and there comes a time when we can preempt and prevent these attempts by returning to them what they do to us at the same time keeping our mental block intact which prevents us from being a victime of dual preceptions,hallucinations,illusions etc. We have a defensive block but those who try the mental methods with such vigor do not have the mental block to form a shield to what goes to them.They can only penetrate they cannot create a shield to avoid penetration in themselves. This is where we score as the mental methods that are used are dangerous,piercing and disbalancing to say the least.When these methods fall back on them they become deranged and mentally ill sometimes so sick that recovery is next to impossible. We must constantly understand and practice that as long as the mind of the person is well grounded the person is inevitably well grounded. That know matter how perfect our moves or how lethal our physical ability with free hand combat and the use of instruments, if the mind breaks nothing is possible.There will be no sustained physical ability to do anything correctly with restraint and control. Here we as martial artists score because of our inherent discipline of the mind and the grit to never give up.
