OverviewThe Three Lives of a Practitioner, is a chronicle that I put together, of a cross section of my life. Why the hell do I want to do this? Maybe this crossed your mind. I don?t know. I think basically, it's because I want people to know what is going on in the world out there, behind the veneer they constructed. Oh, some know but only a minority. I found it difficult to do, that is putting things together, in my writings, to stay focused because of the many conflicts I was up against, as a practitioner of the martial arts, and the application of the system called, shiatsu, as trained by two Asian senseis. In writing down these conflicts that I was confronted with in most my life, it was truly hard for me to remember every small detail. So when those areas came up to detail them, I took liberty and added what I would do today as a practitioner of my art. In so doing, being careful to stay within the truth. As noted above of my many conflicts I had to confront with, let me share with you something about conflict, for the sake of introduction. Conflict is necessary for all life, we can't escape it. There are forces out their conflicting with us everyday, and some we can't see. For instance, gravity, the wind that blows up storms, the magnetic forces to name a few. Everyday there's things that happen that bring on painful conflicts to us. We could be part of some one else's conflicts. Moreover, we might be faced with a life or death situation be it a health problem or maybe your facing an attacker who wants to do you in. Never may that happen. What would you do? My advice for you is, (If you can), run like hell. In my case, my senseis or teachers, Mr. Yamanoha and Mr. Hayashi taught me, (whenI was R and R on Okinawa and later Japan during the Korean War), options that I can use if need be. They called these options, conflict shapes that I have available, the geometric figures of the triangle, circle and square.
