A passage through which something, i.e. water or wires or electricity, passes. The kenpo-gokui is that conduit that takes the singular practice of karate-do from the purely physical to the metaphysical. It is that pathway the allows us to re-connect the strings of energy to and through us from the heavens to the Earth.
It is the "Way" to the "one". Think of the conduit as leading to better health, well being, and the balance necessary for acceptance of that cosmic energy or the "one" which is sometimes referred to as the "Tao".
The Kenpo Gokui is the tome used to lead us beyond our combative nature. Anyone can learn in a fairly short time span how to hurt others but to truly overcome the trials and tribulations we humans inflict upon ourselves takes true courage.
The fluidity of the gokui allows each individual to reach an understanding beyond the ego. Karate-do helps us to develop our balance thus teaching us the techniques of practice to find balance in the Universe so we can bring all the separateness of ego into the "one" of the universe which is "Tao."
