A problem of complexity….one of the mind & spirit
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008Basically my problem is that while I can train at my local dojo for the physical side of Jin Sei Kai i feel that I’m so how missing out on the Spiritual side. Is this something that I must research alone or does one only begin this at a later stage in training (e.g. Dan level) for i believe that in the journey towards mastery of one self, enlightenment, self perfection whatever u wish to call it…mental training as well as physical training is needed. My problem is i have no direction in this regard where as I have plenty of direction the physical side.Now i am aware that a lot of things a Karateka must discover himself and that he shouldn’t expect to be fed like a baby…..as the process of self discovery of aspects of karate is very important as only then will you have truly learned and experienced what there is to be learned and experienced. Therefore i ask is this a journey I should go alone?
