FORCES OF
UNIVERSE
Force can
be defined as pull or push. Forces occur between two objects, either
they touches or not. All forces we are registering with our senses and
equipments we can divide just to four groups:
GRAVITATIONAL FORCE
was described at first by Isaac Newton. It is an attractive force that
exists between all (physical) objects. Even it holds moons in their
orbits around the Planets; it is the weakest from all four.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE, gives objects their strength, ability to bend,
squeeze, shatter or stretch. It is a result of electric charge, potency.
Regardless of motion or rest particles exert this force on each other.
In movement they produce magnetic force. Traditional Chinese method Feng
Shui most probably developed by
Taoism is based on this force. Comparing the first is very large.
NUCLEAR FORCE is very strong. That holds particles in the nucleus
together. Up to now is considered as strongest of all four. It acts over
distances the size of nucleus only.
Fourth force is not clearly described yet and physicists constructed
two theories to explain it. One call Grand Unification Theories, other
is Super Symmetric Theories. However both are not complete and do not
fully agree with experiments. At this time it calls by science
WEAK
FORCE.
Martial arts is the field where practitioner developing a
Ki
(in Japanese). It is accepted as an Internal energy. What is that?
Power, charisma, personality, health, formless form...? Known in China
as Chi, in India as Prana, between Arabs as Kath, it manifests itself
when mind and body are harmonized.
It has a hard form to break and soft form to move. As Karate
practitioners demonstrate its development in Tameshi waza, Aikido-ka
uses it in Nage waza. But you need not to be a martial artist to develop
it. Top artist, craftsmen or healers works with it. But also our mothers
or wives preparing a meal we eat every day. And if the Ki was used, soup
is perfect…
Everything in the Universe is energy including ourselves and Ki could be
a fourth force, field or link of energy that we are all connected to. We
can be this force of energy. Life force in metaphysics when properly
channelled makes a person indestructible. Ki can be directed consciously
by mind, sight and limbs.
Hara
is a Japanese word referring to centre of Ki, located in the lower
belly. In Chinese call Tan Tien, by Sanskrit call Kundalini. This is the
power centre used by martial artists to accomplish feats of strength. It
is not in the muscles… Ones you are ill and still in perfect muscular
shape, you have no power. Try to perform some physical activity after
long journey
(just sitting and resting while traveling) and you will find again that your power has gone… from your
strong muscles... Click to see III.1
