Spirituality and Kung Fu

[goju]

. sometime i offer paper mache human heads.

No play-doh ones?

[bawang]

before i squat, i do spirit possession ritual as a warmup. it send me into a berserker fury.

i scream like lion and everyone in the gym stare at me. i think they admire me for my strong.

I used to do that until they told me that if they caught me in the women's locker room again they would call the police.

[bawang]

after i squat 50 pounds, i feel pumped and sometime i would stop in front of a woman and stare at her intensely, to show her i am alpha. their eyes get big and i think they turn on.

im thinking of taking hcg and halo, maybe i can squat 60 pounds.

The body and the mind are inseparable. One cannot develop the body to a high degree of skill without developing the mind as well. This is especially true in Kung-Fu.
As Sanjuro states, there are methods to bring out the animal within you,in a controlled state, which if gone unchecked, can backfire and turn you into something uncontrollable.
There are methods within the Five animal form which teaches the student to aquire not only different techniques, but to develop different mindsets and emotional states as well.
In SPM, the mental training can be emotionally brutal at times, and not everyone is cut out for this methodology. There are training methods which are developed to build controlled aggression in the practitioner, and in doing so, may develop changes in their personality. This was one of the warnings given to me by my teacher before I agreed to undergo training in the system.
"It's nothing but a wee bunny."
"Yah, but it's got a mean streak a mile wide!"

QFT.
For most, it is never an issue but for those that truly immerse themselves in their art, the danger is there and it is real.

how do you balance

1. focus your mindset on something else. not your sexuality, not your fighting spirits, not religions, just something else not important or minor or just plain relaxation

we are like a rubber band. if you keep pushing and pulling, we all snap or break like a rubber band. combat fatigue and such.

example: a 92 year old general. He would walk up to the mountain top daily. Just to see morning sun and listen to morning chanting from a Buddhist temple.

me watch the cloud, ocean waves, water fountain, coy fish in a pond---

2. get physical but not related to fight.

you work your mind and body for something else other than fight

yes singing, dancing, swimming, hiking

--

there are so many things other than punching a bag, or taking out a guy in the street etc etc.

3. every time I am upset

I listen to this

her smile melted my anger and frustration

oh luv the song, too.

4. When I am sad

I listen to this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UrLj...eature=related

the song is even sadder.

me no more sad.

etc etc

I can't believe some of you guys eat that carcinogenic crap.

[David Jamieson]

No No.....Ray Pina wants to challenge you tho.

He's gonna get Oprah do a giveaway show.
You get a challenge and YOU get a challenge and you get a challenge and you get a challenge and then sometime around the 20th time, they just let the shouting goat finish before the commercial break.

On the return, it's nothing but Oprah audience members being run down and G&P'd then the next one gets in line.

Probably should be televised.
