The Five Realms of the True Martial Artist
The following saying has incredible importance for a True Martial Artist. “There are five trees in paradise and they do not change, winter nor spring, and their leaves don’t fall. Whoever knows these trees will not experience death.”
You may be wondering why these words are so vital to the understanding of the martial arts, so let me explain. They were transcribed by a person named Thomas some two millennium ago. They stand for the five circles of man’s experience in this life, and they are defined in the following paragraphs.
Physical has to do with the practice of controlling the physical body. To be sure, in the martial arts this is not fighting, but controlling. While there is certainly an art to destruction, the true art may be found in control.
Emotional refers to a person learning to control his emotions. Practice real martial arts for any period of time and a person will definitely learn to control his emotions. Emotions,as stated in the Neutronics definition, are ‘motion inside the head.’
Mental refers to the way one thinks, and how to use the mind in a logical and rational fashion. This is where the science of Matrixing rears its head, as it presents a way for analyzing and handling all potentials of motion, and, if you think about it, that’s all there is in this universe. The unfortunate truth is that anybody who doesn’t understand matrixing is not on the way to mastering the ability to think.
Spiritual deals with a person understanding that they are a mote of awareness emitting light, and that creates the universe. This Spiritual Awakening must be experienced, not talked about. This is the thrust of Neutronics.
Awareness of All deals with knowing the entire universe by knowing all the viewpoints of all the individual ‘I ams’ that are individual man/woman. This is the God factor, or the ever present power that is the universe. With Matrixing this is not a riddle or enigma, but a logical step on the path begun when one first steps into a dojo.
Do you control yourself on these five levels? Have you used the martial arts to move from level to level in these five arenas? Maybe it is time you started!
