Zensha (sp) being totaly aware of your environment

**Serinanth** · 10-25-2003 03:16 AM

I was taught to trey and acheive that in my Ia-do class, I have yet to be totaly aware here but in my dreams I can do it!!

How many have you had this dream =)

I had a really good one but I cant find what I wrote down if I find it i will post.

Click on the movie link, it may take a lil while but its a funny example of the obove topic.

thats a pretty funny cartoon.... but, what does it have to do with dreaming? and, by the way, not to sound rude, but what are you talking about?

**Serinanth** · 10-26-2003 03:59 AM

Being aware of your environment relates to reality. Zensha is the art of being completely aware of your surroundings, many martial arts classes hone your senses, and to a point precognition, as to what opponents might do next.

When faced with many opponents you must be totaly aware of them and what they are doing, because in the real world they dont attack like ninjas in the movies... (one at a time) they attack all at once. You must determine the target with the highest threat to you, then giving the positions and threat of your other attackers you might only be able to stun one attack another go back to the first... its complicated...

As I was saying, I have yet to be able to perfect this art here in this world but I am able to do it in my dreams.

And I asked how many of you had dreams like this, where you are faced with many opponents but are able to come out triumphant, probably because you were totaly aware of your environment.

And the link, I thought was a funny exapmle of such dreams =)

ah i see, ok.

how many fights like this have you been in in real life?

**Serinanth** · 10-26-2003 06:02 AM

street fights none, thankfully
Sparring, once yes =)

You dont have to be in a fight to practice being totaly aware of your environment, try engaging falling leaves on a windy october day =)

being aware at work, comes in handy, because most of the people here arent (aware that is), they back into you whip around corners crash into walls.. All the while carrying a Lot box full of wafers.. (microchips are made on 8 or 12 inch disks of silicon)
Depending on what product it is... the Banias Centrino processor, the box can have a potential worth of around 1.8 million... its funny watching new people get all nervous once you tell them that.

We focused on being aware of your environment in Ia-do, because with a sword you have to know where your reach is, where the ceiling is, the width of a hall stuff like that.

Hey, Seri, spar with me! I promise I won't whip you.

Too badly, anyway.

**Serinanth** · 10-26-2003 06:37 AM

Never underestimate girls... either... especially when they bust out like that...
although I know for a fact I can whip her butt

**A Lost Soul** · 10-26-2003 06:38 AM

You're so full of shit, too. Bring it, baby. I'm so ready for you.

**Serinanth** · 10-26-2003 06:40 AM

Yeah your right...

I couldent bring myself to tear your arms out of their sockets and beat you with them.... I would just end up letting you beat the crap outa me... *sigh*

**A Lost Soul** · 10-26-2003 06:42 AM

:finger:

Come on, though. Seriously. We should spar sometime. Could be fun.

**wasup** · 10-26-2003 10:23 PM

I be saying is fighting with no contact. You fight with psi and telekenises and stuf...

**Seeker** · 10-27-2003 05:20 PM

There are many more uses for being aware of your environment than fighting!
Believe it or not, whenever I need to find my family in Wal-Mart, I often use these techniques.
I first close my eyes and get very still. I enter a lightly relaxed state and visualize my conciousness expanding to fill an area much larger that myself. It's really an interesting sensation.
When I feel that I am ready, I open my eyes and begin walking.
Using this method, I can always find them in a fraction of the time.

I have also used this method in tracking people in the mountains.
Try it sitting on a rock beside a stream or deep within the woods. It is amazing how much we filter out.

Wow. Well said, SeekerDave.

**Seeker** · 10-27-2003 07:04 PM

Thank you too!

I'm gonna have to quit before I am labeled as a Post-whore!

**nerve** · 10-27-2003 08:34 PM

nah, you had a reason for that...being a post whore is doing something like what HazMat did at another forum, his posts would go something like this:

ooc!

----------

ooc ooc!

------------

ooc ooc ooc!

yay 1,000 posts!

----------------

(and later)

(someones comment)

----------------

(another comment by someone else)

--------------

see what i mean?

he got banned. it was funny, Henrik (admin) was like, *waves byebye to the HatMat*

he was just trying to raise his count. i got banned for post whoring as well, but to be perfectly honest i was not trying to raise my count, i could care less about that. i didn't really realize i was doing it, either.

I think thats one of the inherent problems with society right now, they filter out so much of our existance they.. well they miss out on what life is.
