Water and Earth

[lunarious]

Hi,

I thought i'm living or confined inside a House in the Psychiatry. Inside a House, what one does is relax. Other locals or "houses" are meant for activity. I'm thinking of the 12 disciplines i've been thinking and talking of, these 12 disciplines requires 12 Houses.

Bruce Lee says "be water my friend". ... meaning exist inside a House or Houses.

House comes etymologically i heard from Arabic and Islam. I heard in Islam we had gatherings to discuss Politics and Philosophy, these gatherings were in a House called Hawza. Hawza today is where Imams get education.

Edit: This thread is called Water and Earth because water is us/content. Earth is the House and Walls of the house.

I have a couple Hard-Wares (read Soft) I learned throughout my life:
- Islamic Prayer, it's a Form i expand and repeat.
- Classical Guitar Holding Position as seen here in a random website
- Zazen or meditation Form ... The Zen House kicked me out
- Karate and TKD Kata that i know nearly nothing about. I think Kata like Pomse means Form.

So these are Houses i study. Very quickly.

In Taoism, water is used to represent the "soft" force, and stone is used to represent the "hard" force. The soft force overcomes the hard force by wearing it away over time, by being persistent:

"There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than water,
and yet for attacking things that are firm and strong there is nothing
that can take precedence of it;--for there is nothing (so effectual)
for which it can be changed.

Every one in the world knows that the soft overcomes the hard, and
the weak the strong, but no one is able to carry it out in practice."
