There are constant messages guiding our paths through life. To hear we must stop our busy lives a moment and listen.

Why is there so much energy given to the art of war? The art of peace requires so little!

The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.

To overcome fear one must have lived with fear.

To seek the path of ego within the martial arts will seed jealousy and corruption.

Why do we bear arms at the slightest miscommunication? Our relationship with our ego craves always to be right.

As there are opposites such as, positive and negative, yin and yang, war and peace. We should always strive to seek the art of peace.

We are all of this earth, do not fight or lay greed. The earth is plentiful if we can all learn to share it.
