I have to say that i'm tired of so many people
expecting to 'know' 'what-it-is' when studying such subtle
arts. Obviously the 'name' of a style matters little - i have
called this one the laughing banana, and have to say its made
little difference. An important point is that the practice
of silence, smoothness, or whatever 'you' want to call 'it'
would produce the same results with or without the existence
of media. To take up the study of any art is to begin a journey
that you must navigate yourself, and there are not sign posts,
no labels, and no 'way'. There very first error in finding
'the way' is looking for 'the way', particularly among the
myriad disciplines available to our information society. All
that you will learn will come from you. There is nothing and
no one else. This is scary. I urge all seekers not to look
for something to validate or justify, but to explore. In this
exploration you will quickly find that no one dvd is 'better'
than another, but different, and so long as DILIGENCE is maintained
one need not fall into the complacency of believing a practice
to be 'right', which leads to an adoption of all the potential
misdirection's of the lesson followed. And here the lesson
is not to follow, but to flow.
My only peace of advice is that one remains
alert, above all persistent and determined, in which case
anything personally unsuitable is glaringly obvious. What
a shame it is that today's culture will abandon this flexibility
in favor of the limitations imposed by 'is-it-a-good-deal'
syndrome. When we consider that the old masters had to give
up their lives, trek indefinite miles and undertake enormous
challenges, a wasted £30 is nothing to gripe about.
Just keep seeking.
Seas however high, and a bountiful journey.
