For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.

Stop wasting time in playing a role or a concept. Instead, learn to ACTUALIZE YOURSELF, your potential.

What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge; the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression; surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.

The more complicated and restricted the method, the less opportunity for expression of one's original sense of freedom.

How can there be methods and systems to arrive at something that is living? To that which is static, fixed, dead, there can be a way, a definite path, but not to that which is living. Do not reduce reality to a static thing and then invent methods to reach it. ...Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. It has no resting place, no form, no organized institution, no philosophy. When you see that, you will understand that this living thing is also what you are. You cannot express and be alive through static, put-together form, through stylized movement.

I don't believe in getting something for nothing.
