The Significance of Being like Water by Tara O’Connell
The infamous Bruce Lee held one core belief to his art, it was the ‘MUST’ for constant adaptation within his fighting, stemming from the Ancient Chinese Book of Wisdom; the I Ching or The Book of Changes.
| Believed by many to be the oldest and wisest book on Earth today dating back to some 3000BC; the I-Ching has a core principle that everything in our world, our universe is in a continual flux... forever changing. In-turn, signifying the importance of the must for each of us in learning to change, to accept and manage it, only then do we lay the silk pathway for inner harmony and balance in our life... to experience true freedom of the Monkey Mind. |  |

Traditional Medicine, as with that of the Martial Arts
All stem from a firm grounding in Metaphysics; a constant interplay between the physical and the spiritual aspects of all that is, and all that will be. It is up to YOU and each of us individually to harmonise the balance between these 2 players. To evolve to our true selves, to live our true path in this lifetime. |
Were you a die-hard Bruce Lee fan?
If so you may recall, the art of Kung Fu in the mid 20th century was focused primarily on the techniques incorporated into fighting – esp via the legendary Lee movies!
In fact, it was only when Lee studied the Wang Chun method in Hong Kong under the legendary Ip Man, that the true philosophical aspect was discovered and bought to the West. The students within the field, were strongly encouraged to look toward Buddhist and Taoist principles, with the central focus of being fluid and free of any force.

Lee's Core Understandings:
Struggling with his trainings and understandings; Bruce was told by his master to 'go home and reflect'.
To follow the natural bend of things, don’t interfere.
Do not assert yourself, control any problem by Swinging with it.
Do not assert yourself, control any problem by Swinging with it.
Lee who was also struggling with his meditation practice at the time, seeing nothing coming from it...

One day Lee took to the Water in a Junk boat.
it was here that Lee found his true insight. With a flash of anger from such long, deep frustrations, Bruce hit out at the water…. Thumping it hard with such ferocity, but suddenly it struck him, how UTTERLY FUTILE his actions were? ... he did not, nor could NOT hurt the water! This seemingly WEAK substance, that he could not even grasp in his hand, and yet this soft fluid could penetrate even the hardest substance – wasn’t this the true core principle of Kung Fu? |
|
to simply follow the nature of water...
... but for You and I?
Is our path not about the continuous flow and adaptation to one’s environment, the experiences, the successes and failures?
– yet through it all, the importance to accept, and simply to keep going... the key is the ‘must’ to always learn how to accept and manage change whilst flowing harmoniously with everything?
- therein lies the challenge.

If we look at the 2 fundamental laws
... that exist underlying all physical change in Our Universe:
... that exist underlying all physical change in Our Universe:
|
1: Universal Law of Polar reversal.
That in all things we see the seeds of their opposites, each of us carrying in our genetic code not just the seed of new life, but also its decomposition. – so too does every single human affair, carry within it the seed for subtle change. |
2: Universal Law of Periodicity.
The law of cycles & rhythms. Just like growth cycle in plants, animals, seasons, days… so too does the development of our individual life and character. ASK yourself: do you believe you are the same person you were 10 years ago? 20 years ago… Perhaps even 1 Year ago? |
THE TAO: The Way
This path of changing life, changing Cosmos is the Tao (the way), or the gateway through which all things move, like in Christianity referred to as a state of ‘grace’.
The significance of this Ancient text, 'the I-Ching', alongside these ancient Ba Gua maps applied into our Medical practice is astonishing. We as Traditional Medicine Practitioners: I Ching Balance Method Acupuncturist’s and Martial Artist's who learn, discover and practice these principles can identify and unlock stagnations and past emotional trauma buried deep within so many of us today…

I-CHING UNCOVERS
Vietnam War gravesites of loved ones...
Here in Vietnam today, the I-Ching is being used by IC Masters for those visitors who are seeking the final resting place, or remains of their loved ones who died fighting in the American War, otherwise known in the West as the 'Vietnamese War'.
The I-Ching is leading the families to the grave sites with great accuracy, as astounding as this may seem, it is giving closure to many, yet we cannot explain this from our linear viewpoints.
Perhaps when I have met with these I-Ching Masters (a meeting of which is being organised as we speak); I will have more light to shed upon this, and an explanation that can be translated into words – though I use the word ‘perhaps’ lightly as the deeper one goes, it seems words too, have their limitations.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS?
Then you are using the I-Ching right now, & likely every single day!
I have encountered many on my path who dismiss this incredible Book of Changes, seen simply as nothing but an ancient book of superstitious or fortune telling nonsense. Yet often cowering in disbelief when learning this very book which originated as a Book with no Words, is the father of the world we know today, tomorrow and beyond.
|
In fact - if you are reading this, you too are using this great wisdom right at this moment, for the very Binary system at the core of these digital creations, is said to have stemmed from this very book!
The results Medically speak for themselves, and I feel we have only made a mere dent into understanding this ancient timeless wisdom. |
