Martial Arts ~ Core-Self versus Adjuncts

Recently in the month of May, 2016, Arthur Beverford arrived in his subtle body. He wanted me to review some martial art videos of one popular fighter who acted in several films.

Mostly these practices involved super flexibility and technique to counteract and get the better of opponents with reliance on the body more than on weapons. In modern antagonism, the focus is more on weapons then on the body. The Western society introduced and shown the superiority of weapons over bodily strength. In hand to hand combat, bayonets or long knives are placed on the end of riffles to be used in close quarters where the solider cannot reload or needs to make a quiet kill.

However Beverford is of the opinion that hand to hand combat without weapons and with agility as in Eastern martial arts is the way to go.

For the purpose of yoga however, hand to hand combat is a waste of time unless it is conducted between the core-self and its adjuncts, where the core-self can fight within the psyche and get the better of the adjuncts so that they serve the purpose intended which is to develop supernatural insight into the realities which one encounters during existence.

As in martial arts, agility is involved, technique is required, out-smarting the opponent which in this case is an adjunct is also involved. It may be said that it’s all martial arts but with yoga involving that in the psyche, in the mind.

The intellect is superfast. Initially it is faster than the core-self, which has to practice daily to gain the required agility. The kundalini is super subtle initially. Hence the core self has to develop the perception of seeing its hidden operations. In that sense also, yoga involves martial arts.
