Working on a scene from Enter the Dragon for camp . . . maybe I can speak . . that would be wild...
Gonna try and talk with the writer .. found his blog . . but there's no update in a year.
Teacher: I see your talents have gone beyond the mere physical level. Your skills are now at the point of spiritual insight. I have several questions. What is the highest technique you hope to achieve ?
Lee: To have no technique.
Some thoughts as I see that statement and bring it to a spiritual thought is:
To follow God and not man.
To know Christ
To hide His Word in our hearts.
If we look at that, then our technique is unique to His will. Not one we'll understand.
What are your thoughts?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next line from the conversation is:
Teacher: Very good. What are your thoughts when facing an opponent ?
Lee: There is no opponent.
Teacher: And why is that ?
Lee: Because the word "I" does not exist.
I'm struggling with this because I don't understand Lee's response. "the word "I" does not exist" This is where I'm trying to contact Mr. Allin.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Teacher: So, continue...
Lee: A good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract. When he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not hit. It hits all by itself.
As first look this portion 1 Peter 13 - 18, with emphasis on 15 comes to mind. Always be prepared to give an answer for what you believe. .. .
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
will keep working on these thoughts and a few others as I watch and re-watch Enter The Dragon
