Not surprised ! Another thing about Tony is his youth ... wups, visitor, ore later ....... according to Tony ; they would watch Bruce lee and Jackie Chan flicks and copy the stuff, learning as they went along. The they eventually went for film audition and thats when they found ut most of that stuff was faked , And the movie scouts were ' These guys are doing 'the stunts' for real ! ' Just goes to show (if thats true ) ... if a kid isnt told its impossible , they might well achieve remarkable things . Similar thing happened with Bruce on his first green Hornet audition ; Director; "Okay, can you burst through that door, see what is going on, race down the stairs, fight and beat the baddies and untie Green Hornet ?" (considering what movie fight scenes were like before the intro of M.A.s) Lee; " I think so ." Director : " Okay ... places everyone ..... turn over and ........ action ! " Lee comes bursting through the door with a flying jump kick, land on the landing, looks left right, jumps down the two flights of stairs in one leap, with some acrobatics thrown in, goes up to the baddies and wham, smash , ( super spectacular movie kung fu ), punches through some of the set, kick through a railing, throws someone through the air , then rpes the ropes off Green Hornet and stands their waiting ..... Director ; " ......... (actually the whole crew ) .... Holy shit ! ...... I mean CUT ! Bruce ! What the HELL was that ! Can you do that again ? " Lee; " I can do it as many times as you want . " - just for fun ;

Do what ? Every time they went to do something it was cut to a new shot. You dont actually get to see the fight . here is what a movie fight looks like with no cuts and switching ... look for the cuts and pasts and see if you can find them (this is known to be the longest take for a fight scene in the film industry, the skill here is martial but the filming organisational skill is phenomenal... did it in 2 takes ! )

Is non-duality actually a fundamental truth, or just another philosophy?Â

classic example here ^ 'spirit or soul' - not sorta the same thing, but really two distinct things . We used to understand a triplicity here as well ; body spirit and soul. As Christianity developed away from magical or Platonic principles, things became muddled and less understood - spirit and soul were merged into one vague ghost like being that could depart the body and travel, hold some type of 'spiritual essence', ascend and be immortal .. basically a mish mash of stuff selected from here and there . Eventually to become one side of 'dualistic consciousness', that is spirit/soul' as 'ideal' and body 'material reality' as real . Later, brain went to real and 'mind' to ideal. There are separate but linked , we could show it simply as ; ...... ' The one' spirit ....... soul ....... the body (or 'whole organism' -

It is a truth on its 'own plane' . Its an 'ideal' concept . On a 'more dense' plane there is duality ... then triplicity, and so on .... all the way through to the manifestation of 'ten thousand things' . The Dao tells us this as well as Kabbalah and other systems . It has a 'reality' , perhaps only 'ideal' reality . Is it practical to contemplate ? Well, it can never be understood with the conscious or rational mind .. thats why we have so many systems that us various symbols and analogies to try to explain it . If you can stand Crowley " Serious philosophy has always begun by discarding all these puerilities. It has of necessity been divided into these schools: the Nihilist, the Monist, and the Dualist " https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/crowley/mwt/mwt_05.htm If you can stand Crowley -

I said we would not suffer much if it wasnt there . Not that I am suffering, or not suffering, because it is there . Trying to pull the 'old switcheroo' on me eh ? I have nothing to do with that thread, I lament it caused problems for some and they left . Thats my point .
