A CONJECTURE ON ULTIMATE REALITY

 

 A CONJECTURE ON ULTIMATE REALITY

In mathematics, a conjecture is a statement that might be true but has not been proven or disproven. The conjecture on Ultimate Reality could be formulated as follows:

“Anything in life that could be materially presented or perceived is a reality by its own meaning, and it could have several realities when it is presented or perceived under different aspects at different circumstances. But over all, there is an Ultimate Reality to be discovered which will be the key to understand our problem”. 

Often the Ultimate Reality is the hidden real nature of things, the primeval source which generates all things under examination. 

The Conjecture On Ultimate Reality (C.O.U.R) could give way to a great number of discussions when it touches a specific discipline such as Philosophy, Religion, Education, Psychology, Economics, Management, Political Sciences, Strategy, and so on. By the moment I am writing this, early December 2020, the world is full of serious conflicts and problems. For each situation, if the related data are correctly presented, no matter how complex they could be, the application of this Conjecture would lead to a better solution.  

In the limited scope of this learning session which is intended to our Black Belts, we are interested only to the study of MOVEMENTS in our practice of Vietchidao. We wish to develop some practical applications of this conjecture to our Way of Black Belt. For example in the case of the Theory of Five Elements we can find a number of different considerations regarding its meaning. For the ones, it serves as the foundation of acupuncture; it is a beautiful piece of high culture and so on; for some others it is simply a primitive approach to sciences, merely a game for children, and a stupid simplification of the world in five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. 


Now, through all these different aspects of a same thing how should we, as a martial artist, go forward?  Under our view, considering the aim of our practice, we should try to find the Ultimate Reality of the Theory of Five Elements.  Beyond the traditional teaching that stays firm on the rigid definition of the five elements we could go forward and discover that in fact the Theory of Five Elements is not about these five elements! In fact, it uses these five elements as symbols to express an ultimate reality: Things in the world are the results of a reciprocal relationship which follows whether the cycle of generation or the cycle of opposition. This said, in the art of fighting we can then arrange, in the program of our training, multiple techniques of attack and defense under the light of “generation” strategy or rather under the “opposition” strategy. This opens the way of our practice far beyond the limited traditional conception of Five Elements. We now clearly see that the Ultimate Reality, in this case, is a law of interaction that helps us better organizing our way and securing our success. The enemies are strong? Make them go the long way and get them tired. The Covid 19 is very dangerous? Patiently keep physical distancing longer. In any case, searching for the Ultimate Reality, the real reason behind the appearance, is a crucial step forward.         

Concerning the study of Movements in our exercises and forms (quyen), let us consider the following example. In a town there are four martial-art schools with different names and logos. They all claim to be true-origin-martial-art: the Authentic, the Genuine, the Real, and the Right. Each one is specialized in one specific style such as Lion, Tiger, Dragon, and Lotus, as we can see in the following logos. (PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE – The Four School.) 

Observers from different groups such as students, teachers, police, sports organizations do have their different opinions -positive, negative, or mix- for each logo. Their opinions are mostly influenced by the whole image of each logo and also by their own stand point and background. But in all cases, each logo is a reality for them to observe and make up an opinion.  

We too, we agree that each logo is a different reality. However our attention is attracted by the presence of the symbol “Yin & Yang” inside each logo. This element could lead us to what we call Ultimate Reality. So we extracted them, as shown below, for a better examination. . (PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE – The FOUR IMAGES.)

 

 

Closely examining them we found that there are four different models of the “Yin & Yang”:

- Model A: For our technical use we call it the “REGULAR”

- Model B: We call it the “OPPOSITE” which is simply the mirror-image of model A.

- Model C : We call it the “RETURNING” which is the upside down of model A.

- Model D : we call it the “REVERSING” which is the mirror-image of model C.

 

Certainly we find that the arrangement of these four models is a very interesting and confusing game.  But no matter how the design of the “Yin & Yang” is arranged into each logo, the Ultimate Reality goes beyond and above these four models to affirm by its nature that The co-existence of Negative and Positive is in all things.   Acting on this balance is the best way to solve any problem we have to solve.

 

Regarding the exercises and quyen in any discipline inside the system of VietChiDao, we now know that each one of them does have four versions: Version Thuan (Model A) ,  Version Doi ( Model B)  , Version Dao (Model C), and Version  Nghich (Model D) . But in practice only the versions A and B are popular, the reason is that the versions C and D are difficult to be applied to a long form (quyen). However, please keep in mind that it is easy to apply all the four versions to some exercises such as the first part of Dai-Lao, Ha-Chi, Equinox, and so on. It is worthy to try doing it, it could change the way of your routine training. 

 

 Surprisingly, all the four versions can also easily find their application in many exercises of Vietchikiem! Yes, this is a huge advantage; especially the “Returning Kiem” and the “Reversing Kiem” are two terrific strategies. In a sword fight, usually the opponents expect to receive the Regular attacks and/or the Opposite attacks, but in a sudden they receive indeed the “Returning Kiem” and/or the “Reversing Kiem” that makes them lose.

 

CONCLUSION: In search of the Ultimate Reality we found the four models on the way. They are VERY CONFUSING, much of learning and practice are needed to master this issue./.
