TenDo-27

(c) Zoua- Terry Floyd Johnson, 2009


Peace isn't a philosophy, or even a psychological tenet, it is a way
of life. You either live in peace, or you live in the need, for war,
danger, excitement of violence, etc..

Those, who need the art of violence, in their lives, are fighting, not
only the outside projections they use, to be able to express their
violent tendecies, but their violent, self-loathing about themselves,
in some manner or another.

Violent people don't like themselves, and are willing, to show others
how bad they are, by acting out, when they hurt someone; they feel
pride, because they've beat someone, because they're better at
surviving, than the one they beat.

This is another clue, those who like violence, want to survive,
rather than live. Life has nothing to offer them, but what they get
by using their skills, minds, etc., in obtaining what they want,
hopefully, by showing how tough and violent, they are.

To counter, acts violence with violence, might seem to be self-
protective, but it isn't; it's simply a new direction, in which
violence, is the projection, of not liking yourself.

What then do we do? Do we allow others to do violence against us,
kill us and not defend ourselves? Would you be comfortable with that?

Violence to hurt, maim, kill etc., is psychological damaging, to the
one, who hurts, for pleasure, and to the one receiving, for they were
injured, by the attacking party.

TenDo is the way of Flowing Water. You do not need, to be attacking, to
defend yourself; you can flow around what isn't capable
of controlling itself; you can allow the violence, to pass you by.

How? By blocking and having the violence go by you. 2. By simply
walking away. 3. By putting something solid or thought provoking
between you and the violent tempest. 4. By flowing around the
violence , going on out of its reach. 5. By clouding the mind of
the attacker. 6. By bringing outside illusions, to refocus the
violence and the person commmitting the violence. 7. Utilizing mind
techniques to dissolve the violence. 8. To use physical movements, to
diffuse the situation. 9. To use objects, to defuse the situation. 10.
To flow around the violence and put an end to the strain of the
violent tendencies, gently as if water flows in and douses the fire.
