I might as well trust my own judgment about the whole thing. In my analysis there is no God and no afterlife. There is only the Path and the Force. I am governed by both.
I am God by the virtue that I am the Creator but in reality we all are self governing.
What matters is the Path; which in this case determines the direction we are going while the Force is the power for us to act. Both are part of our resources in living a life of a God
Just by having this two is sufficient for us to move forward.
First we must know that there is a road to take us on a journey and second, there is a power for us to act upon to get us going.
Everything else is just a perspective and opinion especially religion and the idea of God and the afterlife.
What people are referring to as God is really the Force that is surrounding us. Therefore the afterlife is merely extension of the Path.
Thus if I use the martial art as the model, our daily pursuit is about practicing the lessons (kata) until they becomes the way (do). There is no mention of God and the afterlife in martial art. It is always about the ki or chi, better known as the energy or the Force.
To sum it up everything about my life is about perfecting the Path (do) and enhancing the Force (chi)
Therefore Rumi was right. I am neither any of these:
In the end I am simply put A FREE RADICAL. I just surrender to the Path and the Force. As a servo mechanism my Path will determine my direction while the Force will determine the rate of flow.
There is no other matters that concern me beyond this two. Therefore I am govern by the Aiki + Do = The Force and The Path.
Everyday is about staying on course and having the energy to pursue the Path.
That's all to it.
Do not dabble in matters like God and the afterlife. I am God and I live in the present. What it means is I am the Force and my Path is straight.
Will I endure? Sure. However my immediate concern is to be in the now. It is in the now the future is created. Without today there is no tomorrow. Without tomorrow there is no yesterday. The now sits between tomorrow and yesterday. To be in the future I have to take advantage of the present while looking st the past as a reference.
Therefore to continue the next 22 years I have to make full use of the now and refer back the past 20 years.
While the past 20 years had shape me today, I must remember that I have my childhood, adolescence and my early adulthood as my resources.
However if I am to continue with my ascend, then I say I will continue this journey without any of the limiting beliefs.
I will not carry with me these following beliefs:
- The notion that I am a Muslim
- The thought that there is an Almighty God
- There is an afterlife
- I am anybody significant
Rather I hereby subscribe to these beliefs:
- I am a Free Radical
- My journey is within a predefined Path
- I am operating within the boundary of the Path
- There is no God and the afterlife
- There is only Aiki and Do, the Force and the Path
I will not think too much about any of these thoughts. I just record the ideas as they come because true awakening cannot be described by words. Move towards enlightenment.
What matters to me is that although the concepts are new, the realization had been there all along.
In the final analysis there are only the Path and the Force. As much as I try to explain this satori, I cannot describe it no matter how hard I try.
All I know is the traditional concept of God and the afterlife don't apply here. We are talking about being formless. In the end, the best I can describe the Path and the Force as the Electromagnetic Field.
What counts is ALL THIS WHILE I AM RIGHT ALL ALONG. I just went in circles because I was trying to fall back to the old paradigm of God and the afterlife.
Should I look at it from the perspective of Aikido, then I am all in one merged into the Path and the Force.
Hence in writing this posting, I simply capture all the thoughts without thinking about them. That way, I will use this posting as the basis of me moving forward.
What I can say is I have to trust my judgment all along. Whether about my decision on the watches to how much money to spend on them, just go with the flow. The Force will guide me along the right Path. Don't think. Just do.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is I am moving toward unconscious competence.
Now I am already on high gear. I just do. Even staying late tonight is the result of this thinking.
I should no longer question my intuition. It's taking over now.
