"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

The lines of the ken-po goku-i are set from an atomistic aspect simply because it is the manner in which the brain learns. Its nature is completely holistic and like the I Ching must be in a form that promotes learning and understanding so a person can see, hear and grasp the nature of a holistic system. The gokui is a method to teach us how to be holistic. Its terseness is the best that can be done to convey its holistic meaning.

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

Resistance

Resistance is futile! So say the "borg" of the Star Trek series.

The gokui speaks of balance in all things, it speaks of the sun, moon, heaven, and earth with possibilities when they are teaching us about cycles, rhythm, balance, spirit, and so on.

I find in my studies that to "resist" the natural flow of life opens us to many not so pleasant things ranging from mental and physical ill health to attracting "bad things" in life. I also find that when I am in balance of mind, body, and spirit with connectivity to the "Tao" that my mental, physical, and spiritual being is balanced and through that profound emanation of positive energies attract like energy resulting in a better life experience.

Although the gokui references the more esoteric views of such things as life balance it does provide one who is ready and open to experience the true nature of the Universe in a myriad of ways. This is one of many paths to forging the spirit through the experiences of the mind and body. This creates the "one" and to allow ourselves to let go and rid ourselves of resistance opens us to greater experiences in life.

The ties that bind us to resistance are partly connected to the "past" and "future" thoughts while distracting us from the joy of the present moment. Our "ego's" strap us down and tell us that we must resist this since the past and future are told to us as our identities when our true identity is one of the moment experienced with out restraint by past, future, or the ego's continuous chatter of what it "thinks" is best for us.

Reality is the moment we experience "NOW", not yesterday and most assuredly NOT tomorrow.
