Dangerous Association
“But
who has forced you to be part of the commune?
It is your choice. You were not
born in the commune. It is your choice,
and a difficult choice, because by being part of my commune you are going
against everybody else around you. You
are taking a risk. It is dangerous to be
part of my commune. It is dangerous to
be in association with me. You have
chosen it. I don’t covert anybody; I try
my best to dissuade you from becoming a sannyasin – what more can I do? I give you no consolation.” – Osho "The Magic of Self-Respect" pg. 130
That
is how I feel about the disciples of my school.
The ways of what I teach, goes against everybody around you. I am teaching the ways of the East, but we
live in the West. It is dangerous to be
in association with me because I speak against the majority. Courage is needed in order to be a disciple
of my school, without courage, there’s no way you can last. You must be
prepared to not be accepted, you must be prepared to stand alone to represent
the Way. Jesus, Socrates, MLK, Malcolm
X, all died for truth, you must have that type of courage. You must be prepared to be disliked, the
masses will not approve of you because your very being exposes their lies.
As of right now Sifu Freddie Lee, I do not care what these clowns think of me. I respect you too much for your dedication towards the martial arts. Thanks to you, I now know what the true meaning of martial arts after being lied to all my life when it comes to said subject. Keep fighting the good fight.
