Feints
“A slight wave of the hand, a stamp of the foot, a sudden shout, etc., can produce sensory or radiations sufficient to reduce coordination. This mechanism is at the reflex level of human behavior and even many years of athletic experience cannot erase the distracting effects of extraneous stimuli”.
Bruce Lee – Tao of Jeet Kune Do
The feint is used to distract an opponent, opening them up for an attack. We have feints (money, success, wants, sports, celebrity gossip, entertainment news, unreality TV, politics, etc.) directed at us everyday, some of us get distracted, and we get hit with a lead jab the real attack. Our opponents are successful at using feints because they make it appear to be a simple movement of attack (real or important). We throw our hands up to block (give them our attention) a punch (feint), but open ourselves up for a front kick to the stomach (the real attack, that causes much damage). The fight continues this way, they feint we move and end up getting hit over and over again.
The latest feint directed at us is the disappearing plane. We will never get the true story concerning this matter. It’s the big news story. All the news networks are bringing out their experts to talk about it, everyone has a theory. It’s a feint (a distraction, misdirection) to keep our attention away from the real attacks that’s happening now. My antenna always goes up when all of the talking heads are in sync. They all have their talking points, none of the experts they have on as guest say anything original or out of the box. Let them say anything that is off script, and they are quickly shouted down and cut off. It’s all a controlled show, the dice are loaded, the game is fixed.
As long as we sit back and wait (let our opponent dictate the fight) the feint will do us end. We will continue to get hit. To be more effective you have to attack and counter attack (do your own thing in your own unique way). Get the opponent off guard, you feint and make them move, take the fight to them. Oh! You didn’t know you were in a fight. You’re one of those “lover not a fighter” type. Well, lover you’re getting your ass kicked, better start fighting soon before it’s to late. We are all in a fight 24/7, 365 for control of our minds, because if you don’t control it, someone or something else will. Prepare your body, mind and spirit. Choose your battles wisely, beware of the feint, the fight is here wether you want it or not.
Peace and Happiness
