The Most Holy Trinosophia And Uechi Ryu

Image
The Most Holy Trinosophia is an esoteric text attributed to Comte de Saint-Germain, a mysterious figure associated with alchemy and mystical teachings. While the Trinosophia does not directly relate to Uechi Ryu, a traditional Okinawan martial art, there are intriguing similarities that can be drawn between the two. In the Trinosophia, there are references to the three days and 36 days. These time periods hold symbolic significance, representing stages of transformation and spiritual evolution. Similarly, Uechi Ryu places great emphasis on discipline and dedicated training, often progressing through a series of levels or stages symbolised by the same numerological values. (3,9,36,108 (81) ) Let's explore the connection between the Trinosophia and the three main katas of Uechi Ryu: Sanchin, Seisan, and Sanseiryu. The Altar - Sanchin Kata: The altar mentioned in the Trinosophia can be associated with the Sanchin Kata in Uechi Ryu. The altar is a central point of focus, a place of rev

3 legged chair

  Both Uechi Ryu's concept of Shin Jin Bu (God, People, Budo) and the Jewish religion's concept of the three-legged chair share a common theme of balance and interconnectedness in spiritual life. While they come from different cultural and religious backgrounds, they emphasize the importance of three fundamental aspects in maintaining harmony and fulfillment. Uechi Ryu's concept of Shin Jin Bu focuses on three key elements: God, People, and Budo (martial arts). It recognizes the significance of a balanced relationship with a higher power (God), the importance of human connections and interactions (People), and the practice and discipline of martial arts as a means of personal growth and development (Budo). This concept suggests that to achieve spiritual well-being, one must maintain harmony in these three dimensions. Similarly, the Jewish religion's concept of the three-legged chair highlights the three pillars upon which the world stands: Torah (knowledge and understan

Hidden code of Sanchin

Image
The hidden code of Sanchin in Uechi Ryu is an intriguing concept that combines elements of mathematics, Hindu cosmology, and ancient symbolism. The code suggests that the foundation of all mathematics lies in the number 3, representing the Trinity. The investigation begins with the 3x3 magic square, which is arranged in nine different ways to depict the dance of the nine planets in Hindu cosmology. By exploring the variations of the magic square, it is discovered that there are a total of 81 numbers (9x9), representing a 3x3x3x3 matrix or 3^4. The revelation occurs when the sum of all 81 numbers is found to be 9x9x9 or 9 cubed (3^6). This progression from 9 to 9x9 to 9x9x9 represents a dimensional ladder, suggesting a deeper underlying structure in the numerical patterns. The question arises whether the ancient masters of Pangainoon, who composed these numerical arrangements, were aware of the significance of 9 cubed or if it was merely a coincidence. Regardless of the answer, the code

Mantra of light and the pose of Buddha

  “Om abogya beiroshanō makabodara mani handoma jinbara harabari tayaun” The Mantra of Light, also known as the Mantra of the Unfailing Rope Snare, holds deep spiritual significance and can be linked to various aspects of Jewish mysticism, Uechi Ryu Karate, and Taoist inner alchemy. The mantra itself is expressed as follows: "Praise be to the flawless, all-pervasive illumination of the seal of the Buddha. Turn over to me the jewel, lotus, and radiant light." This mantra encapsulates the seeker's reverence for the luminous and all-encompassing nature of the Buddha's enlightenment. It signifies the seeker's desire to attain spiritual illumination and calls upon the Buddha's guidance to receive the treasures of the jewel, lotus, and radiant light. Drawing parallels to Jewish mysticism, particularly the Kabbalah, we find similarities in the concept of divine light as a metaphor for spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. In Kabbalistic teachings, there is a focus on t

Enantiodromia in Acting - Portraying Alon Edri (Indal)

Image
  The role of Alon, a racist police detective and outlaw involved in heinous activities, required me to delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche. To justify these acts to myself, I delved into the concept of enantiodromia, finding a transformative meaning in Alon's descent from goodness into monstrosity. Enantiodromia, a term coined by Carl Jung, refers to the tendency of things to turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme state. In the case of Alon, who was initially a virtuous and honorable person, his excessive dedication to enforcing justice led him down a path of corruption and brutality. I saw his transformation as a cautionary tale, demonstrating how the pursuit of a noble cause can sometimes push individuals to become the very thing they once fought against. Jewish mysticism offers an intriguing perspective on the nature of good and evil. It suggests that the devil, rather than being inherently evil, represents an extreme state that surpasses convention

A tale of Shushiwa

Image
In the realm of Pangainoon, the mysterious and enigmatic figure known as Shushiwa, often referred to as the "Priest of the Mountain," stood as a revered master of inner alchemy. His wisdom and spiritual prowess were unmatched, and he was revered by disciples and seekers alike who were drawn to his profound teachings. Shushiwa's nickname, "Priest of the Mountain," held deep significance within the alchemical tradition. In ancient alchemy, the mountain symbolized the spiritual path, representing the journey of the adept towards enlightenment. Just as the mountain rises above the earthly realm, Shushiwa ascended the mundane limitations of existence to explore the profound realms of spiritual transformation. Within the walls of his modest abode, Shushiwa had meticulously painted a captivating image—a tree with its roots exposed. This depiction held a profound alchemical symbolism, representing the prima materia, also known as the dark matter. Prima materia was consi

Seisan and Venus

Image
Uechi Ryu's Seisan kata holds a rich symbolism that can be interpreted in various ways, and one fascinating perspective relates it to the planet Venus, specifically as Lucifer, the Morning Star. Drawing connections between Seisan and the 13-year cycle of Venus, as well as its interaction with the lunar cycle, we can explore an intriguing blend of concepts involving aether, Lucifer as a force of nature, and dark matter as Qi. In ancient times, Venus, the second planet from the Sun, was often referred to as the Morning Star or Evening Star due to its brightness and prominence in the sky. In the early morning, Venus can be observed right before sunrise, casting its radiant glow upon the world. This celestial phenomenon aligns with the nature of Lucifer, the Latin name for the Morning Star, who is often associated with the concept of illumination and enlightenment. The number 13 holds significance in relation to the planet Venus. Venus has an orbital period of approximately 224.7 Earth

Sanshin and Sanchin

Image
The Sanshin is a traditional musical instrument from Okinawa, Japan, known for its unique sound and deep cultural significance. This three-stringed instrument holds a special place in Okinawan culture and is intricately connected to the practice of Uechi-Ryu Karate, particularly in the performance of the Sanchin kata. The Sanshin's name itself holds deep meaning, derived from the concept of "three center lines," while Sanchin, the name of the kata, represents the "three treasures." Moreover, the concepts of aji (personal spice), mochi (stretching like rice cake), umi (cyclical and flowing like the ocean), and even the Bunboryudo Japanese concept all add layers of symbolism and richness to the Okinawan traditions associated with the Sanshin and Sanchin kata. The Sanshin's name, "three center lines," reflects its construction and the resonance it produces. The instrument consists of a small, rounded body with three strings stretched across it. The th

The practice of Katas In the context of quantum physics

Image
The practice of katas in Uechi Ryu, is deeply rooted in discipline, focus, and physical movement. While the direct effects of katas on reality are subjective and often described in philosophical or spiritual terms within martial arts traditions, exploring their potential impact through the lens of the latest scientific and quantum physics theories can provide an intriguing perspective. Quantum physics, a branch of science that studies the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, has revealed some fascinating aspects of reality that may intersect with the practice of katas. One of the fundamental principles of quantum physics is the concept of wave-particle duality, suggesting that particles such as electrons and photons can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. Within this framework, it is theorized that observation and intention can influence the behavior of quantum particles. The famous double-slit experiment, for example, demonstrates how the act of obser

Shin Jin Bu

Image
Uechi Ryu Karate, incorporates profound philosophical concepts alongside its physical techniques. Among these concepts is Shin Jin Bu, which encompasses the interplay of opposites, the divine and human nature, and the vital role of martial arts as a mediator. In this article, we delve into the significance of the Holy Trinity archetype within Uechi Ryu, the concept of Budo as a means of contact and mediation, and the symbolic representation of the alchemical wedding Shin Jin Bu is a fundamental principle in Uechi Ryu Karate, representing the dynamic interplay between contrasting forces. "Shin" represents the divine or spiritual aspect, "Jin" symbolises the human or physical aspect, and "Bu" signifies martial arts. The philosophy behind Shin Jin Bu acknowledges the inseparable relationship between the spiritual and physical realms, emphasising their union and harmony. Through training, practitioners aim to balance and integrate these opposites within themse
