Mindfulness, a valuable tool ...

In ken-po goku-i the last two sentences mention both seeing and hearing. Another form of "seeing" in all directions is that of mindful seeing. Mindful seeing involves internalizing our practice of mindfulness, present moment, now/presence action to "seeing" our thoughts, feelings, and habitual patterns with more clarity. The knowledge we can obtain about ourselves when used with reflection can result in wisdom and compassion.

Once we achieve this level of self awareness we can then by our actions and interactions effect the minds, mindfulness, etc. with the Universe. We "see" now that the intent of the ken-po goku-i reflects more than seeing in all directions literally to a more metaphysical view of all the Universe. Take this like science fiction, or string theory if you will, the ability to see beyond the literal and into the multi-dimensional Universes there to "see" and "hear" if we are actively aware.

Simply, karate/karate-do can be a tool as well that helps us achieve the awareness and focus that mindfulness uses to see and hear all that we are and can be; karate and other difficult and rigorous activities thus provide all you can achieve and develop physically with note that we see and hear that the mind is following the body while the body follows the mind.

Is not one of the reasons we practice the way, to achieve enlightenment. Is enlightenment at least in part wisdom. Is wisdom also enlightenment of ourselves which will reflect in our actions and thoughts as we connect, strings, with other life in the Universe.
