Rubbish in - rubbish out.
We are all aware that putting poor food in our stomachs can store ill health later on.
Just by knowing the words, can we call this true 'awareness'? Awareness of words alone cannot reach the depth of awareness worth seeking.
I once read an interesting idea about warehouses; if you want to build a home then we visit the warehouse for our bricks and timbers. Now, what if the only materials collected by the keeper are damaged. 'Sorry, we only have twisted timbers, some with woodworm, and crumbly broken bricks'. What sort of home can you build with them?
Now, our subconscious is our own warehouse from which we take the materials to build our 'home' the place in which the inner you lives; therefore be careful what you store in your warehouse, for upon this will depend the sort of 'home' in which you walk this earth.
So, for Aikido or any other art, put only the best materials into your warehouse, seek quality foundations - for they are your future; gather and build carefully with attention to detail, do not rush, build yourself a lovely home - for it is you and you alone that lives in it - until it falls down or there's a power failure!
Build well and you can live in there happier and for longer.
