March 16, 2003: Step Right, Look Left – a Basic Principle

Recently in don-land, which is more akin to geologic than it is to popular time, my Person, called I, was noticing the fundamental of step-right, look-left. Applying my attention to this interesting feature - noticed that the consciousness connected the energy between the feet-hand (always opposite) and eye. Because Consciousness is interested it looks at the hand movements - not because it is supposed to.

Anyway my Person began confirming these esoteric ideas with Master Ni.
Me: “Is step-right look-left a principle?”
Ni: “Yes, important.”
Me: “Almost always the energy connects the right hand and the left foot and vice versa?”
Ni: “Right.”
Me: “The switch of the energy from right to left hand is triggered by the foot movement?”
Ni: “Depends on weight shift.”
Me: “If energy in both hands - then double weighted?”
Ni: “Out of balance.”
Me: “The main question is when the eyes follow the energy in the hands …"
Ni: “Fingertips.”
Me: “When the eyes …”
Ni: “The eyes reflect the Mind. Mind commander.”
Me: “When the Mind’s eyes follows the Energy in the Fingertips, do they shift instantly or gradually with Brush Knee Twist Step.”
He demonstrates the movements.
Ni: “Instantly.”
Me: “Eyes follow instantly?”
Ni: “Not follow. Mind leads the energy.”
Blown away but undaunted I practiced these ‘fundamentals’ the best I could.

A week later, Me: “How about single whip?”
Ni: “Ener7%5+5-5+7+555151597,7&5&7&5,7&5+7$555(5*5'555(7$535&3,5*5&5)5%5)3,{13)3%-1+9,53'3&1(+&(5*9,),3-1/+113'/'*,)$,$),'1&7$9$&$$$$$9$3&$&+%7(9'/(/)(&/'+&/&+&3%1'9&)&)&*%&%&%'%$%+%&$/%&%/&5&/&(%-$,{55)53315%395&5&5$,/)((',3,5-)+9,),(*,)%+3-,+9-1/&1+1//13$3(5,3-7+5%3717151+5$3/313%5'173%3*515%13,5(-&7(7+3+*/$/*3&3)53/&('{7597$535753,%'%,317155+5*7$7*597+7*7+5-7)7&5'557$7-7$7+7)5*37577&59555-395,7%7%7&353*5'7(597,535-333'5%5/7$515&5%375*5+5%5,{95+5'333,5/5+335'153,5)3*5/191*33171)173'353+355*375&5/3/3/1-/)-+,+/%/1,9,/+,,$-&,'-*-3/,33393*111'3*3)19375%3+133,5*+95%5/|7$3(-9-*-(3$3&3&171/1/111/3(3'1+/+-9/%/-///-/3/&-3/&/,/71+1,1'/5/5+9/*-9-1/$/71+1/11111,1-1-111'/5/-/+/&/'/71*1-13151-1%/7/5{%5+313(3357799*9(737)7*9$757,7+7+595%3*3,395*5)5+7%7*7,7'515&3,3)3-3/3)3$3$5-7'5/5)5*5551371,/,1%1-1+17395/535-5*5%5$393-3){&7'5,5,5/515,7&7)7,5,7'557,577(5)5,5,7$597%5,7)7'5'595,7)51555$5+5'5-5)5-3'3539515,57555(57557%7%7(5/51577(7*7'557%5+5/5-5$y(7'7'39)75+7$5/5)5'5)5,7&5%3)7$5/535+5+5-5-5'5*5-5*5+7'5/5+5/57$%5+5+955*'-51577$55535+515753515-5-53595/535&595,3$/&5%7%{*7/7,7)7%7'7)59577+799&79739$9%737/7,7/535&5/7'7(7&5/5(5'5,577%7$53515*5(5*55719'79797+7'57517%7)7)5$1&-5-)-&-,/&/-1$1*1-1,{+7*7+7'5-5/557%5&5,5$5'7%7$5*5953595,7'7(7/7(5+7'5)7$7-7+7&575'7$7%5/5+7%5/7$5&5*395)5)5'5-331%5(7$5-5-1%3'/931377*7'5-5(39{19%7*7$7*757775799+9-9,9,7/5(335+7/9-9'7573799(9*9)9%737-7+7*71737*5)37395&5)5(3/3(5%557&7%7&7+79757&5,5'5*577
