That’s quite fascinating, Age. Very interesting, truly. I read every word and got the meaning behind the words, and you make a lot of sense. Well said. Now that I think of it, I had to glance back to see if you used caps. I didn’t know those things about the meaning of education, and I'll verify if I ever use it, SOP.
First thoughts after reading:
- Energy can be a master, or a servant. A servant properly fulfilling the role can be summoned, and does not disturb one’s peace.
- Total freedom is highly over-rated. I have found that clarity is found in constraint, for then mind is forced to transcend constraint to be free.
- The greatest constraint, the greatest limitation, provides the greatest opportunity to be free.
Absolutely EVERY word used, and probably more so when being used within, or from the 'inner voice', has FAR MORE POWER over 'you', human beings, than was ever really realized, hitherto the days when this was being written.
See, one could be born into a locked prison cell with NO ability to see out and live their whole life, and STILL be FAR MORE FREE than one who is born into a 'wealth of money' with the ability to travel all around the world, and even further afield, whenever they wanted to.
It is, LITERALLY, the words 'we' use that ACTUALLY CONTROLS how much ACTUAL FREEDOM, and POWER, 'we' ACTUALLY HAVE.

- For instance, take soccer, or what folks sometimes call
“football.” Ahem. You can’t use your hands in soccer. That’s the extent of my expertise concerning that particular display of precision. What’s up with that? Why does the goal keeper get to use his hands? Talk about a limitation for the rest of the team. No wonder the score is so low. Good grief. Why impose the limitation? Make the goal keeper stand on his hands to defend. There are probably plenty who are capable.
- Well for the rest of the team, due to the limitation of no arms you can move a ball more efficiently than with your arms, simply by using your most powerful muscles, which are from the waist down.
Previously, I heard that the jaw is the most powerful, or strongest, muscle in the human body. If so, and only if so, could this then come back to the actual 'power' or 'strength' of words, from speech. (Or is this taking things too far here?) After all, it has been said, that 'the pen is mightier than the sword', and this is obviously NOT because the pen is mightier than the sword, but because the WORDS written by the pen, or the WORDS created by the sword, can be much 'mightier' than 'violence' and/or 'physicality'.

You are able to conserve the torso energy for breathing and balance for those legs. Thus, high level soccer play transcends the limiting
Rule of No Hands, to actually achieve the most effective energy transference with the least energy expenditure, simply by not obstructing the design of the human form in motion, which can be confused with the design in stillness.
- When perfected, the limitation of no hands will also achieve with a wink, what all the energy of hand waving and word play will not achieve, if the lights are low and the mood is right.
Just kidding, but you get the point.
- Energy transcends rules, limits, and limitations when the body is free to move as designed, and the elegance of kicking a ball with precision is found in the display of energy efficiency, when measured against some amazing displays of physics.
Maybe so, but if 'we' took the 'LOVE-OF-MONEY' out of 'playing soccer', then is 'soccer', REALLY, ANY thing more than just a 'game' made up 'for fun'?
