The true meaning of the sword

A sword, the shape of a defensive and offensive tool. We are such grand creators !

As we need to discover what our inner battles energetically project into the air, we create the tools for such battles.

The weapon that we use becomes the understanding that we are. Have we ever fought another being, a dragon, a hunter, a man ? Or was it just the play of an imaginative mind, providing real life sensations, making us believe our own game ?

The sword now becomes the metal that we have within ourselves, after eons of fighting, we find that we actually never fought another person, but only the reflection of our own needs. The knightly sword becomes the galvanized spine of our mental forging in search for balance and harmony. Stillness after the many fights that we had. The sword now disappears again where it always came from : inside. It regains its rightful place within the golden spine of the true warrior that has gained the insights of wisdom : there never was an opponent.

Full circle

When there is nothing anymore to find or to embrace, or to release or to need, a full circle draws itself. I am stillness.

There is new life, something is beyond words, and I listen. I listen so silently to the stillness that I start to 'hear' something from another world. Another world ? Not really, it is a world that I forgot, however is very alive 'somewhere'.

I start to feel its call, it draws me to paint a circle. The circle is naturally flowing into itself again. I listen to the movement, because a completion is about to happen. I remember with every breath.

What is happening ? I fulfilled my promise to end the cycle of repetition. Another dynamic is calling, from beyond the guarded portals of the 5 elements. It's all there, alive and vibrant. The promise of totality, and expansion.

But first, now, I listen and breathe. It is nice to be still and silent, because it opens my gateway to something very deep.

Comments on the martial way

If you prepare for an attack in your mind, then attack will follow. Check your thoughts, and decide if you really desire the play of fight and friction. If not, disengage your mental preparation, however stay awake, focused and kindly alert. There is truly no opponent, unless you command the vibration that creates it.

Fighting and physical training is truly about self-mastery. As the fight engages, it can only take place if there is an inner battle already. In that case, a fight is always a training for non-violence.

Self-defense truly grows from the inner fear for self.

Defense is based on fear which creates an invitation for attack, always. Attack is based on the need to fill the void that created the invitation.
