Vagueness can lead to misunderstandings and misuse of knowledge. Remember that knowledge is power yet of what kind is the true question.So many ways connect us to what we know and understand. Lack of same begets the type of difficulties that are the reasons we have "martial arts" or "fighting arts".
I can extrapolate almost anything from the gokui for it is a matter of loosely connecting such things in our physical world to the not so physical. It can sound plausible! It can read like it has meaning and connects go the gokui as well as any other aspect of the "arts".
The true question, "is it real or memorex?" Is the string that connects strong enough to bind one thing to another? We should ask ourselves this type of question or questions to help us differentiate between the "true way" from the "fictional way".
Is this the reason why so many Isshinryu practitioners hold on so tightly to their perceptions as passed to them by Sensei? Are my mindless meanderings a true connection to the meaning of the Way and gokui?
Always question yourself! Always question others! Always question what you hear, read, see, smell, taste, and touch for it may or may not be real.
Are you a butterfly dreaming you are a person or are you a person who is dreaming you are a butterfly?
Thank you for this. Always question... :-)
