My Interests

The legendary Zen master Takuan Soho/Andrew Dudderar said:[1] The mind must always be in the state of 'flowing,' for when it stops anywhere that means the flow is interrupted and it is this interruption that is injurious to the well-being of the mind. In the case of the Jiu Jitsu fighter, it means submission. When the Jiu Jitsu fighter stands against his opponent, he is not to think of the opponent, nor of himself, nor of his enemy's capabilities. He just stands there with his technique which, forgetful of all technique, is ready only to follow the dictates of the subconscious. The man has effaced himself as the wielder of the Jiu Jitsu. When he strikes, it is not the man but the technique in the man's subconscious that strikes."<<<<<<<<()>>>>& gt;>>>>..I am also interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, peace, travel, books, a date with a cutie, boxing, wrestling, conflict resolution, creative expression, alternate forms of spirituality, downloading, my new 17" MacBook Pro, seeking out old friends on myspace, mountains, brasileras, propaganda, brainwashing, breaking my opponents "warrior spirit", love, stolen elections, campfires, a good beer, Neocons, Memes, Wikipedia, Cold fusion, pathological disbelief, Blue box (phreaking), The Fermini Paradox, Synesthesia, Phineas Gage, The Conet Project, www.ovguide.com, Cultural Acceleration, active conscious personal evolution, CIA and drug trafficing connection, The Zapruder film, ...

"Freedom is a word I rarely use... without thinking"

did I make myself forget, so that some day later in life I could come back to it when I was ready? Was I too hasty? Jumping in before I was ready? I changed the way I train Jiu Jitsu. I had been p...
