"The fluctuating monthly rhythm of reflected light, the twice daily ebb and flow of the tides, and many natural cycles are all essentially locked into the lunar phases as, uniquely, is the reproductive cycle of humankind. The Moon is associated with women and the number 13 which could reflect the fact that the Moon moves 13 degrees a day and orbits the Earth 13 times in one year."
[rhythms and patterns; the core of the natural Universe; reflected in the world around us and in plain sight for those who truly "look" and "see" them. Amazing!]
"The Moon's radius is 1,080 miles compared with that of the Earth at 3,960 miles, a ratio of 3:11."
[notice "3" again; not to mention both figures are divisible by "3" as well, coincidence?]
"The Moon moves fast at about an hour to cover the distance of its own diameter. There are 'three' principles of rotations called "the day (Sun-Earth); the sidereal month (Moon-earth-stars); the year (Sun-Earth-stars). There are lunation cycles, the time between full moons, which is truly Sun, Moon, and Earth. The lunation cycle is the prime lunar rhythm."
[three; principles; fundamentals of the Universe; Fundamentals of Earth, Moon, Sun; Fundamentals of human beings; fundamentals of the body, mind, spirit; notice the collections of "three?"]
"The Moon begins her monthly phases acting as consort to the Sun, appearing as a sliver of silver to his left. The new moon shaped like a reversed C. Each successive day finds the Moon belonging more and more to the night sky as the waxing phases increase the crescent to a quarter, gibbous, and then full moon."
[One can not exist and function with out the other; in our lives and practice there are those that can not function or exist with out the other much like our practice where the fundamentals are necessary for the kata which are necessary for the kumite; fundamentals (kihon-teki), kata, kumite; three!]

"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
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
