'Te' means hand. 'Kara' means empty and is associated with unlimited potential. As a martial artist thinks fist, te or hand, shapes into a fist. If the thought is a karate chop, it takes that shape. If he thinks, tiger claw, the hand takes this shape and so on. <br /><br />This is the deeper meaning of Karate...the hand is symbolic of our own unlimited potential and is shaped by our thoughts :)David "Shinzen" Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361987240669832512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097989465071053640.post-54680162856313537152010-06-04T11:12:41.900-04:002010-06-04T11:12:41.900-04:00Mark, right you are.

The good news is we are becoming increasingly aware of the power of thoughts.<br /><br />Shinzen, well said and a true picture!<br /><br />Cordie, I have indeed heard of this phenomenon. I'm not sure about the conclusive evidence myself, right now, but "mind over matter" makes perfect sense to me since mind determines matter.<br /><br />Gail, very true. Our thoughts need focus and will to materialize. Actions are the result. It's not the thoughts alone that are so powerful. It's the attention and emotion given to the thoughts that motivate action. If someone is enthusiastic about being healthy, they will take actions to be healthy. The thoughts are the blueprint never-the-less.C.

If I or you or any of us did everything we thought, well, the world would be completely out of order. We, control our actions/behaviors - because those impact our world - our thoughts have no impact unless we "do" something with them. <br /><br />Love Gail<br />peace and hopeGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097989465071053640.post-34599536541728904802010-06-03T16:32:42.816-04:002010-06-03T16:32:42.816-04:00The mind is powerful, indeed.

We are so unaware of the power each of our thoughts wield. I am amazed at how powerful our thoughts are and how ignorant we are of their power.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237538988856751173noreply@blogger.com
