SPIRITUAL ENERGY - MOUNDS OF IT EVERYWHERE! Part 2 of 2

Vatic Note:  As you know, who read us regularly, we attempt to always find ways and recommendations for how to fight our enemy.  This is just another example of ways to confront and to do so under certain preferred conditions.  So please take the time to read it.  I also highly recommend you read part 1 first for laying the foundation for this part 2.

I also wanted to take the time to tell you how I cured my leg of massive swelling, painful arthritis in the knee and a torn cartilage in the same knee.  Spiritually and in line with this,  I spoke to my DNA and asked it to repair my knee and I kept doing so using a mantra.  It took 48 hours to cure what was definitely going to be an operation on my leg.   

Its been 9 months now, and no reoccurance, so we know or I know that the power is out here and all we have to do is tap into it for good and righteous reasons.   It cannot be for ego, or any other secular and ego reason or it won’t work.   That is why part 1 is so important before getting into this part 2.  If you read it already, then simply revisit and refresh and then read this.

Fenelon, Spiritual Progress

“The only method of effecting unity, is inward recollection, by which the soul is turned wholly and altogether inward, to possess a present God. If it direct all its vigor and energy within, this simple act separates it from the senses, and, employing all its powers internally, it renders them faint; and the nearer it draws to God, the farther is it separated from self.”

Overcoming One’s Opponent By Utilizing His Weakness 

Perennialist teachers instruct initiates in a form of spiritual “judo:” the art and practice of using an opponent’s weaknesses–or supposed strengths–to overcome or transform him. What is unique to this art is that we don’t use brute strength to overpower an opponent, but rather skill, finesse, timing, flexibility, and adapting appropriately to changing circumstances. Economy of energy, balance, and grace are the outstanding hallmarks of the expert practitioner. Unlike the old Western gunslinger or the barbaric hand-to-hand fighter, the Perennialist “combatant” is soft and pliable, winning by appearing to yield.

      Perennialist warrior-trainees first develop a comprehensive understanding of what kind of “warfare” they’re engaged in: not a personal vendetta, a “one-upmanship” contest, or combat to prove who’s most intelligent, brave, or powerful.

“Imagine if you can a world in which truth is one general and something we will call blindness is the opposing general. These two simple factors one must choose between. There are no neutrals. We are frankly for or against and hold our positions by the force of the effort we put forth. The great struggle is not only to conquer our opposing forces, but to reclaim and form them into fighters for the truth.”               Betty and Stewart Edward White, The Betty Book

      Perennialist “judo” involves learning how to use physical, psychic, and spiritual energy. An opponent attacking you is directing his energy toward defeating or destroying you. If you counterattack you’re imposing your body energy against the oncoming thrust. 

Spiritual combat redirects your opponent’s energy instead of meeting force with force. As the attacker pushes against you, he finds you stepping to the side and allowing (often with the aid of a foot to trip him up) his momentum to throw him forward. Perennialist warfare requires you to be like a tree that bends to the wind instead of resisting unyieldingly and being uprooted and blown down.  

“A strong wind may destroy a sturdy tree; but the willow bends and the wind passes through.” Gichin Funakoshi

       

Spiritual “judo” involves the control of aggression without inflicting injury. In some instances this is titled the “Art of Peace.” One of the main procedures involves the use of precisely the amount of energy required to overcome an opponent–and no more. Whenever possible the antagonist’s own energy momentum is used to overcome him, saving one’s own force for times when it is necessary. Through comprehensive understanding of one’s opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, it becomes clear that such elements as anger, resentment, fear, and revenge are counterproductive means of squandering personal energy.

“The first application of wisdom is to accept opposition so in its entirety, so completely, that thereafter not one speck of attention power is ever wasted on it, except for the intellectual appraisement of its strength and the planning for control of its effect.

The word “judo” means the philosophical and spiritual path (do) of gentleness and suppleness (ju). Kano viewed judo not as a means to display physical prowess or superiority, but a way to live in peace with other human beings. As an educational leader, Kano combined intellectual training, moral culture, and physical education. Kano’s view of judo included two great guideposts: “Best use of one’s energy” and “Mutual welfare.” Kano designed judo as a way to develop harmoniously the intellectual, moral, and physical aspects of the education of young people.

“The principle of gentleness is explained in brief as follows. Victory over the opponent is achieved by giving way to the strength of the opponent, adapting to it and, taking advantage of it, turning it, in the end, to your advantage. “Here is an example. When a stronger man pushes me with all his might, I will be beaten if I simply go against him. If, instead of opposing his pushing, I retreat more than he pushes or turn aside the direction of his pushing, he naturally leans forward through his own pushing, and loses his balance. If utilizing his pushing strength, I apply a certain technique on him, it is quite easy to make him fall, as he is losing his balance. Sometimes he will fall merely, if I turn my body skillfully. This is one simple instance of how, by giving way, a contestant may defeat his opponent. Therein lies the principle of gentleness.” Kodokan (the “school to learn the way”), What is Judo, 1947
