From The Rock

I was in Willits, California putting on a karate demonstration for a couple of hundred kids the second time I ever slow walked. As I finished the showing the kids what karate was I noticed a fellow standing at the far end of the gymnasium. Standing alone, he was big and rather ominous.

I noticed that he didn’t have a kid, so what was he doing at a demo for kids? Curious, I began to walk slowly towards him. Time began to stretch, and I walked slower,and it stretched further and further. Even though he was only a hundred feet away, it seemed to take forever to reach him.

He was sweating and starting to shake by the time I reached him. I threw out a big grin, introduced myself and offered my hand. Relief bubbled from him as he shook my hand.

The fellow, a lumberjack named Andy, turned out to be one of the nicest fellows I had ever met. He wanted to see Karate, and that was why he had come to the demonstration. He had never seen karate before because he lived out in the woods.

What I had first done to him when we had met was the thing that most interested him the most. It seemed like the world was caving in on him, he later told me. He had almost, he later admitted, lost control of his bladder.

Slow walking is easy to do if you practice a classical karate that has been made true. This means you must align the time and shape of your form, and make sure you know what the moves mean when you translate them into actual usage. If you learn how to do this then you learn how to control your body, and thus you learn to get outside the flesh of your body and experience your true body, which is true bubble of your perceptions.

Time is nothing more than a method for measuring the things of the universe. Time, being part of the universe, is something we can perceive. If you can control your body, then you can control the universe, then you can control time.

Of course the trick is to perfect your art, and enter The True Art, and then to increase your magnitude. For if you can control your body, and your time, then you can control another’s body, and you can influence his perception of time. A simple trick, but it require immense dedication to form and detail and such.
