The Master Locksmith

The Master Locksmith

Meditation is the key, but it difficult for people to learn about meditation, because essentially 99% of the people don’t know what it is.  You can’t teach what you don’t know.  Once you learn it, you can use it towards the good or you can become a very dangerous person.  It is like becoming a master at picking locks.  Now you can use it to help people like a locksmith or you can use it to take advantage of others by picking locks to steal from people.  If you come to a master locksmith to learn the art with a long criminal history, obviously you are not the one to teach.  That is like the fighter who comes to a Martial Art Master to sharpen up his skills, obviously he is not the one to teach.  A person who finds joy in being a bully, should not be taught ways in which to become a greater bully.

Be Happy, Be The Lamp

Be Happy, Be The Lamp

“Your misery will increase the suffering of others; it raises the ratio of suffering in the world.  If you are happy you make suffering that much less in the world.  One single person’s happiness and joy raises currents strong enough to make those around him happy.”

“If a single house has a lamp, it helps make the neighbors conscious that their houses are in darkness.  When one lamp is burning it is not difficult to light others with it.  One lamp can light the lamps of the entire world.”  Osho – “The True Name” pg. 318

Be positive, spread positive energy.  Smile more, be in the present moment, be in meditation.  There is no suffering when you are in meditation.  There is no suffering when you are in awareness.  Suffering is caused by the mind, by the ego, by our thoughts.  Eliminate these suffering thoughts and happiness will be the outcome.  Become the happy person that lights up the world around you. 

Combat Sport and Suffering

Combat Sport and Suffering

“Keep it well in mind not to support a man who is in suffering or troubled, for that is a sin and equal to inflicting pain on him.  It is a very subtle device.  Should I want to pierce you with a dagger it would be a sin.  But if you thrust a dagger into your chest and I say, “Wonderful! What a sacrifice!  You have become a martyr!” it is sinful and I am partner to the act.  A man lying on a bed of nails is a sinner all right, but those who come and offer flowers and coins at his feet are also partners in his sin.  They are offering him encouragement by calling him a saint.  These are two types of sick people; both suffer from a perverted state of mind.  Beware of them both.” – Osho “The True Name” pg. 316

I do not encourage or admire people who do harmful things to their bodies or cause harm onto others.  I am not entertained by watching humans destroy one another in violence.  The onlookers paying for fighters to hurt each other encourages the behavior and it is just as much of a sin.  Even giving fighters attention, encourages the behavior and it is just as much of a sin. 

There is a big difference between being inspired by Martial Art movies than it is to watch and promote combat sport.  Martial Arts and Combat Sport are opposite.  Martial Arts is a creative expression, combat sport is destructive and violent.  Martial Arts is meditation.  Combat sport is ego.  They are opposite.  I encourage the public to be influenced and inspired by Martial Artists, but I discourage the public from paying any attention to fighters.  The fighters and the people who encourage the fighters to fight are both sick.  Just like the dog owners who train their dogs to fight and the people who will pay to watch two dogs fighting, the dog owners and the audience are both sick. 

Do not support a man who is suffering.  Support the positive and healthy man who lives a long life.  Boxers, football players, and fighters all die young.  I do not admire them.  Martial Artists live long healthy lives, I support Martial Artists.   

Don't Be Afraid to Sing

"People are afraid to sing.  Birds do not care whether their voices are sweet or not, but man is very careful.  Only a few pwoepl sing, those with good voices; the rest sing only in the bathroom where no one can see and no one can hear."

"All you require is a the courage and daring to be a little mad, and then the song will spurt out of you.  Birds don't go to college to learn music; they don't worry about who says what; they are not anxious whether their song will sell; they sing with joy and abandon." - Osho "The True Name" pg. 308-309

This is a very important teaching on what it means to be a true Artist.  A true Artist is a someone who is self-expressive from within.  He does not express to impress others, he simply is authentic from within.

Real Street Combat

Here is another example of real street combat caught on video.  Here you can see multiple assailants being involved.  You see the use of firearms, you see death as an end result, and you see how quickly everything went down.  This is not for your entertainment, this is the real violence that can happen on the streets, there are no rules, things happen spontaneously, and you have to be prepared.

Split Machine

I just got myself a split machine! I wanted one for myself for a long time. Now i got one, the one that Freddie suggested. That will help me get more flexible. Of course you don't need one, there's many way to get flexible, but i see this machine as being a nice tool and a fun way to work on your personal split progress. Thanks to my teacher Sylvain, he helped me get one and thanks to Freddie for the suggestion.
