Sequence Four

weight | advance | retreat | disengage | engage

weight - could this be our bodies as to how it reacts when out of kilter in relation to advancing and retreating from an attacker; does it mean our weight used to manipulate an attacker while we engage and disengage using timing and distancing in advancing and retreating from that attacker. Weight may also mean the weight of responsibility in practice and training or in life with various life situations both bad and good; or it may be a weight used ...

advance - could this refer to what I spoke of above in the manner in which we advance on an attacker when counter-attacking their attack by using our bodies weight to cause a disruption in an attackers weight and thus unbalance them; could this refer to how it interacts when engaging; when disengaging...

retreat - is this literal as in retreating or putting proper distance between yourself and the attacker thus causing them to have to shift their weight in order to advance on us thus putting us in the position to advance and engage; is this to retreat within ourselves away from the world or life so we may contemplate our inner self to improve where we advance on our foibles to engage in understanding them then defeat them allowing us to retreat away from that moment and to engage other foibles until we reach a level where they become nothing in that moment.

disengage - to remove ourselves from the environment; to remove ourselves from the influences of our ego's; to remove ourselves from the influences put upon us by others and their ego's; to disengage from actual combat or hand to hand combat enabling us to disengage so we may advance and engage with superior weight, balance, focus, timing, and energy...

engage - to move forward in life and receive the influences that we encounter so we may "see" it as it really is and thus by engaging actively in it we can overcome and become more; to engage our ego's and see them as they really are and what they really mean to us on a spiritual level; to engage the attacker with a counter-attack thus advancing our objective of being safe.

A persons unbalance is the same as a weight.

This seems so literal in its translation. One must practice so that when encountering an attacker their balance, form, body alignment, energy, focus, timing, shifting, stances, and techniques are superior thus causing the attacker to become unbalanced so they fall as would dead weight when dropped. An unbalance persons is focused on regaining balance while a balance person is focused on technique and all its connected qualities. If we fail to attain proficiency in our lives we then fall out of balance and open the gates to low energy that attracts other low energies that cause disruption in life as if being held down by a heavy weight...
