The eyes must see all sides. The eyes must not be fooled by our minds. We may observe one thing but our imaginations will sometimes carry that to an extreme causing our monkey brain to kick it with exaggerations that will lead to misunderstandings that result in conflict.
We sometimes take the most direct route in this particular tome of the ken-po goku-i, seeing the obvious but forgetting to "see" the extent of one's imaginations. It is said, "One should not be misled by bad phenomena which meet one's eye." (quote from Kazumi Tabata Sensei)
Misled by our own minds thus strengthening the idea and need to train the mind/brain to differentiate the myriad things we "see" in our lives as well as in training and practice.
Knowledge must be the tempering of the steel forged by our observations and imaginations so that truth and clarity is "seen" in all we do, this is important and maybe the most important aspect of the ken-po- goku-i's seventh pome.
