heaven + earth + heart = one
speak | demonstrate | do when combined into "one" provide guidance in following the "Way" or in practicing the fighting arts.
Learning is a combination of Sensei or Sempai speaking to you or providing you details which must be followed up with a demonstration the Sensei/Sempai performs to relate visually what was perceived by hearing the spoken word.
You first hear what Sensei/Sempai is telling you (8) then when Sensei/Sempai show you then you shall see what it is they have told you (7) and finally Sensei/Sempai will want you to perform for them (do) so they may see what you do and then make appropriate corrections.
In life one must actively listen to what is said to them with an open mind, with out judgement, to receive the spoken word. In life one must couple the spoken word (hear everything; 8) with the persons attitude, demeanor, body language, environment, customs, and perceptions (see all; 7) so they may understand them totally (1) so that decisions can be made within the moment (to bring it all into "one").
My personal "Interpretive" Lens!
"One thing has always been true: That book ... or ... that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend." - Louis L'Amour
"Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider..." - Francis Bacon
"What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin

Kenpo Gokui
A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth while the blood circulating is similar to the Sun and Moon yet the manner of drinking and spitting is either soft or hard while a person's unbalance is the same as a weight and the body should be able to change direction at any time as the time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself and both the eyes must see all sides as the ears must listen in all directions while the mind must grasp all the tactile, olfactory and gustation data not seen on all sides and not heard in any direction
All Bottles are Truly Good
