    I would like to share with you a piece of reflexion I had
    about all the subjects that were dealt with.

    Some of us (and I too) are frequently asking interesting
    questions, waiting for an answer or a guide to keep on
    working. This means we all need a master, although our, is
    not made of flesh and blood. The only inheritage he let to
    us, is his books. It is important too to underline the fact
    that a great deal of people (so do I) find the descriptions
    of the exercises slightly dark, not exhaustive although the
    employed language is clear and precise.
    So I was wondering if this single topic was not fully
    wished.
    In asian martial arts, true masters do not talk much to
    their pupils, do not tell them how to perform a technic
    what is the deep meaning of it. In a first time the main
    job is to observe the master and try to do the same, in a
    second time the job consists to meditate the exercise and
    to overcome it. Thanks this way the master knew that the
    pupil would master the technic or exercise. He would not
    "do the same and as good as the master" but would be one
    with the technic. This way of doing is a matter of Asia
    (China, India, Japan, etc) but it was the matter of ancient
    Egypt too. However we should not forget Master Bardon
    Initiation : It comes from transhimalaya region. He also
    must have been influenced with the way of teaching that are
    asian ones. We can also easily understand the reason why we
    find the understanding of the exercises so difficult, and
    why he do not tell us much about the performing and
    description.
    It is possible to say that he gave the basis and let us all
    the job to do : he showed where the food is, then we have
    legs and teeth to get it and eat it.
    I will put an end to that long speech, telling that it is
    quite a hard thing for Western people like us to get the
    subility of such a (asian) teaching.

    Blessing and Light, woce
