Diamond With A Flaw v.s A Pebble Without One



Hello my fellow FMK bloggers and all, it's been a long time since I posted anything on here. I would like to share and remind you all the essence of your spiritual growth or development. That is about being true to yourself or being yourself, which sound simple and boring right?

As you all can see I started out with a quote from Confucius. It implies being yourself truly. If we analyzed the quote, we can see hopefully the the main idea which I stated.

 What does the "diamond" mean? A diamond is something is rare and unique. Something you don't find normally. Whereas, a "pebble" is something common, so you can find them everywhere. Just go outside and you will definitely find lots. In this society the pebbles are the ones that are the average individuals that consider themselves "Normal". On the other hand the diamonds are those that are rare in society or hidden, and they are unique individuals.

The word "flaw" to me, in terms of society,  is associated with having your own unique opinion. Often that goes against what society believes. A "diamond with a flaw" is merely someone who is very different meaning, having a unique belief or different thinking style/pattern/way. If you search the term "flaw" it means imperfection, according to my American Oxford Dictionary, looking at the thesaurus. What that implies is that someone who is a flaw is something who is not normally in society, so they are very different (some people may consider them being a weirdo/freak/crazy etc). Also don't forget that when I say different, I mean someone with their own beliefs or opinions that do not comply with society (and the expectations of society), hence imperfection representation of society. A "pebble without one", without a flaw, is someone who doesn't have a different beliefs and so they comply to society, (trying to meet the expectations of it).

I also see that someone who is a "diamond with a flaw" is someone who is true to themselves. In other words they are expressing themselves honestly, like Bruce Lee.


They are spiritually developed. When I say spiritually, the word that it derives from which is "spirit", I mean someone who is connected to their "spirit". This may refer to being one with yourself, your TRUE self. This is the essence of being spiritual, or taking your spirituality to the next level. Now going back to those that are being themselves I ill provide another examples other than Bruce Lee.

We have someone like Tupac who was also true to himself. The way he expressed his "thoughts" through real "hip hop" rap lyrics, goes against what society believes. He was an individual with a unique view/outlook and stuck with it, which makes him a "real" individual. "Real" meaning someone who is true to themselves.



Another individual that was keeping it "real" was Socrate. An ancient philosopher who intended to liberate the minds of people, setting them free through his philosophy which he teaches. He was considered an individual by society who was not normal, because he did not comply to society. To me he was being himself truthfully, a "real" individual.





Those are the ones who were the "diamond with a flaw". They are a diamond because they were unique, but with a "flaw" because they were walking their own path (having a different mentality/view) which is imperfection to society in general.

Now an example for those that are "pebbles without one (flaw)".  I am just going say most celebrities nowadays, in the music industry. Beyonce, Jay Z, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, Ke$ha etc. Also Hollywood actors or actresses are also considered the "pebbles". These people funny enough are associated with the elite group called the Illuminati which is a so called secret society.



These people are all the same, meaning they are not unique like a Tupac or other artists like a John Lennon or a Hopsin. They have a huge influence on the population of society. These celebrities that are like the "pebbles", because they are all the same in terms of how they are influencing the general population. Influencing people to become lustful, materialistic, and becoming unhealthy (physically, spiritually, and mentally). Generally being at a "low vibration", I don't know if you all know what that means.



I'll explain quickly so someone who is at a low vibration is something who is bound to their animistic behavior, compared to someone who is at a higher frequency/vibration who is humane or just being a "real" human. Another way to put it is, remember that what separates humans from animals  is intelligence. Think of a scale from one to ten. One being lowest vibration so not intelligent and ten being the highest vibration, very very intelligent. 4 and below is considered the vibration (low) that I am referring to when I say that people are at a "low vibration" which I stated early. That is also associated with being like animals, animistic behaviors.

Also another way of looking at vibrations. Generally it relates to emotions as well. Sometimes vibration scale and emotional scales are used interchangeably. They mean the same thing.





Now moving on, like I said people in the general population are at a "low vibration", which they were influenced by those celebrities in the music industry. They are the "pebble" because they are all the same in terms of their behaviors, and also the way they look, like how most people like to dressed up or cut their hair like those celebrities to look so called "cool" as them. They are a "pebble without a flaw" because they all think the same same as those celebrities, which generally complies to society.
Back to these celebrities, they are the "pebble without a flaw" because don't have and expressed a unique way of thinking or having their own opinion they just go along with what society is all about.
So another way of looking at it is that they sold their "soul" to the the demons, or the demons emptied the vessels of those individuals. The demons being the Illuminati. Their souls which equals their spirit meaning their true self, real self or their authentic self. Their vessel relating to their body, with that being said, by taking out their spirit, their body and mind and spirit are no longer connected, which again results in them not being their "real" self. So WATCH out or they will empty your vessel when you are not aware, and they your spirit away LOL. What I'm saying despite of my silly analogy, is just be yourself truthfully and you'll be fine.

It is not easy to be you. It is very difficult, because of others. What I mean by that is people that are the same will try and force their views upon you to detach your unique views to become like them. These people that are all the same have been programmed by the media, to think the same, which is unfortunate. Luckily there are those that are not programmed and have their own way of thinking.

Apparently those that have their own way of thinking is considered dangerous, according to society, just because they are not comply to the rules or expectation. Not all rules are based on morality or ethics. It's alright to break some rules only if it is for a great purpose to generate a greater outcome. But always beware of the consequences, as you are responsible. This is what makes a "flaw", in society.

Like Confucius said as I stated at the beginning, "it is better to be diamond with a flaw, than a pebble without one". Be the diamond with a flaw. be yourself. Walk your own path. I discourage those to be a "pebble without a flaw". So people that are not real to themselves. They are lying to themselves and are walking and following a path that is not their own. Jesus said that there are those that mostly seeks the broad way, and a few of those that seeks the narrow way. People that are the "diamonds with a flaw" are those that seeks the narrow way compared to the "pebbles" which seeks the broad way, which they are merely just following along where most people are heading. They is not being true to yourself, or being yourself.

Being true to yourself is the essence of spiritual growth or development. That is why I encouraged that Like I've said many times.  Let us all evolve together.

I finally got the motivation to write something on here.lol

________________________________________________________________________________

This is a separate blog post which I can't be bothered starting a new one lol.

As for Freddie and everyone on the blog, stay true to yourself. Don't let these haters affect you. They are just "pebbles without flaw" that tries to make you all become like them. Also they are at a low vibration which is why they seem so negative and angry/annoyed. Stay true to who you really are. The battle is really within yourself. You need to win and have victory over yourself. These haters have little to do with you. You need to focus your mind away from them, and try to stay true to yourself. If you let these haters affect you, you are prone to losing yourself and therefore repelling yourself away from your real self. So not connecting to yourself. It's about self control or self mastery. By having victory over yourself you will no longer have to worry about anything, because you will only be focused on being you. Everyone one goes through a battle that is with themselves. Those that lose are those that are not who they truly are because they let the environment affect them. They have no self control over their mind and what they choose to focus on. Those that win are those that stay true to themselves, which shows that they have mastered themselves. Also that is what my quote means which was in my previous post on this blog site.


I have decided to upload this again to remind you all. So the only confrontation that you have is within yourself. The people outside yourself are just an aid to try to make you lose. They are a distraction which causes you to lose concentration to lower your guard which you may be defeated, with "one strike". That "one strike" whether you receive it or not (avoid or block it) is the difference between victory and defeat. Implicitly this is the difference between being yourself (diamond with a flaw) and being like others (a pebble without one).

Self-Defense

I was talking to my aunt the other day. She was telling a story about her and her grandma when she was a kid. Someone said something that probably offended her so she went ahead and tell her grandma what the person said to her. Guess what grandma did? Her grandma gave my aunt a spank and told her: "Learn how to defend yourself!" It is true that I train in combative techniques to defend myself physically. However, being mentally prepared against insult is a must in the Martial Arts training although we should not seek to argue with anybody else. If one feels it is necessary to respond one can, if it is not then no response should be made. This story reminded me that at some point in my life, my parents, my brothers and other family members may not be there when I am facing trouble. It may be up to me to handle it. In a way, the grandma is a good master for spanking her and tell her that. A real master does not make the disciple be overly dependent. In fact, the master is here to guide the disciple towards being himself completely to the point where the disciple is not afraid of any confrontations. If the disciple has a good master, he or she will be the most fearless being on Earth.

Self-Discipline

This is a topic that I thought about yesterday. I was asking myself the question of why people lack discipline. One of the reason why is because the way your parent raise you. If he spoils you then when you become older, it is going to be hard for you to have discipline. That is true in all sense but as I was meditating, this is what I realize. You might not agree with me on this but that is ok. We all see things differently. I see that we all have self-discipline; we just have to direct that self-discipline towards our overall development body, mind, and spirit. For example, if somebody loves play video games all. It is true that he could have done something better besides playing video games for that long but he can at least give himself credit for being dedicated to the video game. However, if he truly wish to change his habit, he is going to have put more effort every day so that he could focus on something else besides video games. Instead of playing games, he could decide to read a book for instance, or he can drop on the floor and do some push ups. A lot of Americans watch TV a lot, but it is a discipline that they have. All they have to do is to shift their focus on something else other than watch television, which tells lies to their vision. As an alternative, they could start telling their vision by reading books that help them develop their true potential. In short, discipline has been within us our whole life, all it takes is our decision to make about how we are going to use that discipline. You can either use it towards creativity, or towards destruction. A Martial Artist always use his self-discipline towards creativity. He does not seek destruction, nor competition. He seeks to make the world a better place by starting with himself as an individual, therefore he is the best decision maker in the planet. So all we really need to do is to improve on our decision making and make sure that our body follows the decision our mind makes. Once they are both in agreement, we can become Real Martial Artists.

Spiritual Teaching of the Banana Peel

Hello FMK

Firstly, I wish Sifu Freddie Lee the smoothest transition from Vimeo to Daily Motion. You were my original philosophical inspiration and I look forward to this next stage in the evolution of your online expression with much enthusiasm! Rest with the knowledge you will have my support every step of the way.

Secondly, I'd like to detail why I have not posted anything in almost two months. Some of you may already know why. To sum it up in one word, it's school. I'm now devoting nearly all of my time and energy to 'doing well' at school. It hasn't been easy for me to stop writing about my philosophies. I feel as if I had to peel myself off this blog. However, the extra time I'm putting in to my studies at school is paying off. The way I look at this situation is that this blog will be here after November 2015, but school won't. Since I've got limited time in school, I might as well make the most of it.

Thirdly, a shout out to Steve Caissy. Steve, the video about your Kickboxing club is impressive. Your Kickboxing club looks like it's the real deal. I also really liked your remix of Justice. Thank you for sharing it. If anyone hasn't seen the video, I encourage them to check it out via the following link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a09vPXmrzPE

Now I shall explain why I gave this post its rather peculiar title. I, along with about 99.9% of people at my school get to and from school via bus. Each bus has about two senior students who have been given the role of 'bus captain'. It's a leadership role that I occupy. Being the bus captain involves making sure all the younger kids are behaving themselves, settling any arguments they might have, making sure they are seated properly and ticking their names off the list to keep a record of who's been traveling at what days and times. It was the ticking of this list that led me to a an opportunity for spiritual growth.

I have occupied the role of bus captain since February this year. Now days when ticking their names off the list, I normally don't need to get up out of my seat at the back of the bus. I can tell who all of the kids are by looking at the back of their heads. Sometimes however, I do have to get up and see specifically who is present in the primary area. The primaries sit at the front of the bus and are all 11 to 12 years of age. The other day I had to go up there and make sure a particular student was present. I did this and retired to my seat at the back of the bus. About 2 or 3 minutes later, they were calling me back. I thought they had a problem and jokingly said "Okay, who's just been killed". They responded by saying something that I didn't expect to hear. "Ben", some of the less mischievous ones said; "You've got a banana peel in your hoody!". The primaries were all giggling away. I laughed and put the banana peel in the bin. I went and sat back with my fellow senior students. They told me that I am far too soft and that by doing nothing to punish those who did it, I was breeding little monsters. When it comes to punishment, the power I have is to inform the students teacher, who will send a note to the students parents detailing the undesirable behaviour. It is not in my nature to do this though. For me, respect has always come from a place of love and passion, not fear and punishment. I questioned the seriousness of that kids actions. I thought, "did anyone get physically hurt?", the answer to that was "no". I did however feel a little bit embarrassed. I then thought "Is causing humiliation worthy of punishment?". This was tricky for me because it was a new situation that I had not encountered previously. I then thought of Osho. I thought of how people used to try to humiliate and deface him. I then thought of how Osho would say that he can't be hurt, for he has no self, no ego. If a person has no ego, what is there to be hurt? I then applied this teaching to my situation. I questioned why I might retaliate. It would be because I had been hurt, because my ego had been damaged. I then considered the fact that if I am to ever obtain mastery of my self, there must be no self. This situation also reminded me that there is no right or wrong. That kid putting the banana peel in my hood was movement that occurred in this Universe. What makes universal movement right or wrong? I believe it's the way we as humans view such scenarios. Like Buddha said, "With our minds, we make the world." Actions in essence are not right or wrong, they are just neutral occurrences. I consider a True Martial Art practitioner to be someone who strives to represent the never ending path that leads towards perfection. By "leads towards perfection" I mean leading the practitioner to becoming one with universal reality. It reminds me of that line from the FMK song, "Perfected Perfection". These are the ideals I try to live by in my day to day life; to be the best version of myself attainable.

I now feel like I want to thank the 11 year old who put the banana peel in my hood. His actions were a catalyst to a spiritual growth that occurred inside me. I then asked myself what I would do if a similar situation were to occur. Would I or wouldn't I punish him? I have decided that I would need to punish him if he did something similar. If respect doesn't come naturally to that 11 year old, then respect will have to be a learnt behaviour. I wouldn't punish him out of anger and revenge, I would punish him for his own good. I doubt many people in this world would be quite as open minded and lenient as I have been. People don't tend to get very far in this man made structure we call society without respect for others and themselves.

It fascinates me that something seemingly insignificant such as a banana peel could be the centre of such a valuable lesson to me. As I interpret this aspect of this lesson, I should not take any stimuli (object or event) as insignificant. Everything in our lives plays a role in shaping who we are as people, even something like a banana peel.

I wrote this blog because I wanted to share with you the details about my recent spiritually enhancing experience before they fade from my memory too much. I doubt I will produce any posts between now and the middle of November because by then I would have finished all of my final high school examinations. I already have many ideas about what I'd like to write about in future posts. Until then, keep striving towards perfection FMK! Let me say once more that to me, this new phase in the evolution of FMKs online expression is very exciting!

Thanks for Reading

Reasons Why Women Should Not Be Revealing

It has been a long time bloggers. I have decided to write this because I believe it is really important for women to realize why they should not reveal their body parts so much. In the Muslim religion, what I heard is that the women only reveal her body to their husbands, which I believe to be the right choice. However, you do not have to be married to realize that. If you are committed in a relationship, I still think that she should still dress well but she may not dress like the hookers in the street. A lot of men out there, that is what they are looking to take advantage of: they want you to reveal everything about your body so they can exploit it. If the man does not care about you, he will just try to get into your subconscious and try to get you to bed and then he will say goodbye to you. Later on, you will still wonder why he never called you or tried to get in touch with you. The reason is that he was not ready to be the man you wanted him to be. He may act like he does but deep down all he wants to do is sleep with you; he was not ready to commit to you. Now, I am not against having sex with multiple partners but before sleeping with a partner you should make sure you know who you are dealing with. If you found out that he only wants to sleep with you, you can either say yes or no. If he really wants to be with you, again you can choose whether to be him or not. Either way, the choice is all yours. The guy is not the only one to blame. You should blame yourself too. You do not have to study the Martial Arts to understand that but the way a real woman is is connected to the way a real Martial Artist is. A real woman is strong body, mind and spirit just like the Martial Artist. So, this is one of the reasons why Martial Arts teachers should be careful about who they teach how to fight. If the person wants fitness, teach fitness; if he wants self-defense teach him just that. Do not try to push him to learn the real Martial Arts, he clearly is not ready for that so do not force it. Now if he is truly open to the real Martial Arts, you can teach him if you want to. Beware of liars though, they can be really good actors. They may act like they really want to learn the real Martial Arts but all they want to exploit is the combative techniques for personal gain. I wish I had the formula to see who is lying and who is not but I think you can still find the clues yourself. That is my rant for today. Nothing too radical, it was just something that I was thinking about so I decided to let it off my mind.

Privacy


Privacy

We don’t know the value of privacy until tragedy strikes.  If you have a lot of money, you can protect this money, you can hide this money, you can live as if you don’t have this money.  Nobody knows how much money you have unless you reveal this information.  Those who are wealthy, can still stay safe.  A wealthy person with no name can stay safe. 

But if you have fame, now, no matter if you are wealthy or not, you are at risk.  You can have thousands that love you, but all it takes is one person filled with hate to destroy your future.  All it took was one person to kill John Lennon.  All it took was one person to kill 2pac.  All it took was one person to kill JFK.  All it took was one person to kill MLK.  All it took was one person to kill Malcolm X.  All it takes is one person to burn down your home.  All it takes is one person to destroy your car.  All it takes is one person to take your life.  All it takes is one person to make your life a living nightmare.  All it takes is one person to put your entire life in misery. 

This one person that is full of hate, can just find out where you live, and take away your entire future.  This one person can take the life of your entire family.  This one person can destroy your entire destiny. 

Ask any person who is wealthy and famous if they would rather be wealthy with no fame or wealthy and famous.  A lot of people will answer that they would be content with just the wealth.  With fame, it will bring hate, no matter who you are.  And all it takes is one person full of hate to destroy everything you have worked so hard to build for your entire life.  The president can’t sleep at night without the secret service. 


All celebrities need to go into hiding away from the public.  The public is what is making them rich, but all it takes is one person full of hate to destroy their future, and they know this.  That is why all celebrities stick together and build their own communities; celebrities don’t mingle with the public because they know what can happen.  There is a segregation between those who are famous and those who are ordinary.  But those who are not famous but wealthy, those are the individuals who can truly enjoy life with no restrictions.  Nobody is paying attention, they have bypassed the radar and they are living a life of luxury and bliss. 

Overflowing Energy


Overflowing Energy


When you have overflowing energy, you will find outlets to express this energy.  In the body, you will exercise, you will strength train, you will kick, you will punch, you will run, you will bike, you will swim, you will exert yourself physically.  In love, you will express this energy with intimacy with your lover.  In business, you will find work to make money.  When you make money, you will spend this money.  This money is a symbol of your energy exerted.  What you buy with this money will symbolize the outcome of your exerted energy.  Your home, your bike, your car, your clothes, your furniture, are all examples of symbols of this exerted energy.  When you create children, this is a symbol of your exerted energy.  A man of Gung Fu has an immense of amount of energy that he needs to creatively find ways of exerting for the greater good.  The man of Gung Fu aims to exert his energy towards the development of Body, Mind, Spirit, Love, and Business.  A man of Gung Fu aims to create beauty and head towards luxury.  A beautiful home, a beautiful partner, a beautiful body, a beautiful family, beautiful clothes, beautiful cars, beautiful bikes, a beautiful life.  He wishes to fill his life with beauty.

Osho on Boxing

Osho on Boxing

“In a California university, for a year they did a research study to see what happens whenever there is a boxing match – which is the ugliest thing you can conceive of, people hitting on each other’s noses. Boxing proves Charles Darwin is right: man has come form animals and still has animal instincts in him.  The study of the California university is very significant: they found that whenever there is a  boxing match, crime rates go fourteen percent higher immediately, and they remain at that level for at least a week – fourteen percent higher!  Just watching people hitting each other, their own animal becomes alive – more murders, more rape, more suicides.  It takes seven days for them to calm down, back to their normal criminality.  Still, boxing is not banned.” – Osho “ It’s all about change” – pg. 41

Although I practice Martial Arts, I have a strong distaste for all combat sport.  I see that if we are to be truly human, if we are to be a truly evolved species with great consciousness, all combat sport should be banned.  Fighting should never be used as a form of entertainment and profit.  Studying the art of fighting is one thing, but fighting to entertain others is worse than what animals do.  Animals fight to survive, they don’t fight to entertain.  The desire to fight to entertain, places us below the animals.  If we are to be evolved beyond the animals, we must never fight to entertain.  We must practice Art, we must be creative.  Training to improve for survival purposes is one thing, but fighting to entertain is entirely something else. 


When you possess a firearm, you never shoot people or animals for entertainment purposes, if you do, you belong in jail.  The firearm is only meant to be used for training at the range, training in privacy, or for self-protection, never to be used for entertainment.  You don’t kill people for entertainment.  I see the same goes with the expression of unarmed Martial Art techniques.  You never fight to entertain, you train in combat to better prepare yourself for survival or you express combat for creative purposes, but you never fight to entertain.  If you fight to entertain, you are psychologically sick, just like the shooter who kills for pleasure.
