THE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
By SGM *D*
The primary reasons as to why I
became fanatically involved in the study of martial arts, is because of the
superior level of self-imposed discipline, and the flawless physical mastery
that can be obtained by the consistent practice of martial arts training. Down
through the years that I have been studying, and applying the
theosophical/scientific principles that underlies the different approaches to
martial arts,
I have consistently been able to
acquire more and more spiritual enlightenment, along with tranquility of mind.
To witness a highly skilled master martial artist in close-quarter combative
action, is to see physical poetry in motion. Martial arts is one of the most
effective ways to synchronize, or to yoke the mind, body, and the Spirit into
one harmonious workable whole. Whenever a true practitioner of martial arts can
successfully combine these three unique levels of the mind into one harmonious
unit, then one will have reached a superior state of mind known within Buddhist
circles as, “Nirvana” or enlightenment.
When the state of consciousness
known as “Nirvana” has effectively intertwined within the martial artist' total
being, the initiate has now become one with the 'Universe'. By extracting
certain fundamental universal principles from out of various seemingly different
religious systems, I have successfully been able to apply these identical
fundamental universal religious systems upon myself.
In turn, these universal effects
stimulated me to be able to raise my level of consciousness to an even more
sublime level of self-awareness.
Although an experienced, and a valid
martial arts expert is highly recommended to have in order to receive a
fundamental understanding about martial arts, it is not mandatory that an
initiate must obtain one in order to be effectively taught.
For in truth, the best master
teacher that an initiate can ever have, is oneself.
It is very possible for a person to
be his own teacher, and to be his own student simultaneously. There is a master
teacher that resides deep within each and everyone of us. How to awaken this
inner master teacher, and how to learn from this inner master teacher is partly
the sacred mission, and the golden goal of this book.
