Consider this...Tatsuo Sensei chose "Sanchin" and "Naihanchi" to provide the offspring of "Isshinryu" so if we connect the dots "Heaven is the father (Sanchin)" and "Earth is the mother (Naihanchi)" and their creative power of Yang and Yin brought forth the "son" and called him "Isshinryu!"
Isshinryu is of "one heart" so those who practice Isshinryu develop "one heart" thus a persons (the practitioner of Isshinryu) heart is (becomes through practice) the same as (that of) Heaven and (that of) Earth.
I think i understand...our heart is both dark and light. But I'm not sure what the dark and light actually means? like one is negative and the other is positive? is father/heaven equal with mother/earth? i wonder about that?
ReplyDeleteThanks
i was looking at your picture/illustration and without the thinner lines it looks like a plus sign. and if you look at the plus sign as a person ...looks like Isshinryu would be somewhere around the belly-button area? lol
ReplyDelete...but the earth/mother doesn't touch the plus sign or figure/person...just something i noticed...I'm weird that way.
