To be real serious and honest, in my understanding, it is not spiritual at all because spiritual and materialistic are both non dual.
The ancient knows it and trying to tell us with the kuen kuit to not get trap.
but we got trap in the education and intellect programing which is sound in the mind's logical derivative but not reflect the real deal. and we totally dont know about it. the "program is keep running in the back ground."
My example on the movie is an experiment I encourage lots of so called meditator....spiritual cultivator to do.
if the mind cant differentiate between a sexual desire cause by watching a movie or a real human being in the real life (and go a head endose the emotion and body re-action) and we trust it we are in big trouble.
So, how trust worty is that mind? it is so easy to get influence and lost its reference point. what we said good today we can say bad tomorrow because that mind is just a flip flop.
So what is this got to do with martial art? well, how do you rely on such a flip flop mind in fighting? thus we all know it got to get intuitive and by passed the mind otherwise we dont know what we are doing. The mind can tell you one minute you have all the control and the next second it can tell you it is totally open.
One second WCK is the best the next second got to be BJJ way. that is silly but once the mind got program (believe it in) one is doom.
So, knock out the program otherwise one wont see clear. if you believe all fight got to go down to ground so be it. your mind has been program and your body will follow the command .
your program over write your mind or critical mind or your intellecture mind. see for yourself.
Even the TV advertisement over right your critical mind. so that is how much control you really have ---- Yes, you seem like having your control but it is your programer's (movie, advertisement.....ect) way.
So, SLT training, first step, deprograming your CPU.
The value of SLT is tremendous if one learn about the deprograming so that we can use it everyday for our happiness in living. No one said one give up fighting, but that deprograming help one lives a better life every instant from the second one learn SLT until the end of one's life. isnt that a great treasure to have in the real life?
The mind is not a problem at all. and there is no wall between spiritual and human thought.
The trouble we all get ourselve into is it already become a habit or subsconcious that we hold on to whatever thought comes to our mind ; and take that as "ourself" and that thought is the ultimate, forgeting thoughts are just thoughts if we dont like it we can drop it. It is our worker instead of our boss.
it is like the thought of I am a WCner or my way is the WCway. These program go automatic after a while, execute that program called "WCner or WC way" any time it got triggle, forgoting those are just thoughts we put into our mind. and we become its slave. so we argue the heck out of everything because it is your program which is argue with my program while we both become slave of these programs.
so until one realized those are programs we put into our mind and we know how we can delete it. we are stuck. there is where the misery if from.
Nothing mysterious or advance or secret or spiritual at all. it is all about deleting all the programs and knowing one has alternative.
Siu Lin Tau is suppose to train this type of stuffs but then we lost it and thinking just do the set to program the muscle to certain memory.....etc which is walking an opposite direction.
Just watch your action and thoughts for 5 mins, see for yourself how these program run you automatically.
