From the Journal of a Ninja (42): impressions after the seminar


If there was still a person who had doubts about my inability to give a good title to an article, now I think I have broken some doubts. 🙂 I don’t have them with the titles. That’s all! 🙂

Regardless of the event you are about to live in life, «the night before» is at least as important (if not even more important) than «morning after». Hello, Thursday evening before meeting Dr. Kacem ZoughariMany fears, uncertainties and questions, all mixed with the real enthusiasm of seeing this special man again. By «Aoleu, I did not progress at all«,»Aoleu, who knows what I find out about me«, Until»I can’t barely wait for the seminary«I crossed everything. I don’t know exactly where all thoughts and fears come from. Dr. Kacem Zoughari We have marked our progress with the sections on the wall in the room and now control our level … 🙂 No mention but you know how … my neurons when they get bored start to write the scenarios (I sincerely suspect that they are secretly used in Hollywood and I receive films on a treadmill 🙂).

I won’t write much about this seminar … ok, maybe I shouldn’t make such promises because … in the end, man knows when he starts on the street and cannot specify exactly when he comes to his destination. 🙂

In the three days of the seminary, I worked with chain, knife, short sword, long sword and obviously lots with the empty hand. Friday, Leit the reason for the evening was «naname«There was a time when I knew what it means»naname«That moment was not Friday. Friday, I had forgotten. Obviously, I could ask a colleague because everyone is kind and I would have told me. But when I had ever made my life easier?! But never! No, I have to suffer, to make stupidity, to remember it and, as far as possible.oblique, diagonal«, Which is the most logical possible because this is how Dr. Kacem Zoughari moves when he repeated it. I don’t know how I did not realize that this means, that is,»Amandine«He had no way of meaning!

Friday, I worked with my colleague Yvonne. Which was fun super-mega. The first exercise was like … you realize that we could not be on top of the first, I was still in the heating phase. To the second, we started to move something … instead, in the third exercise, which was somehow similar to what I had done until then, we did what we did (I could not say exactly what) and We managed to put a meal and unbalance ourselves. In particular, let’s make each other. Mom, you say that I had captured God on one foot! Great happiness, fantastic! We beat the palm, we dance happiness, there was no one like us. Finally, we managed to put a meal! But while approaching Dr. Kacem Zoughari From us (because he was going from every pair of practitioners), the idea was starting to outline that something is wrong in the universe (I think this mercury paste was back retrograde). We were looking at the others and what they explain and … it seemed to sow what we had done and It panicked us.

Eh, when it panics, then the worst ideas in the world come to you. And I had some. One of these was to move with a couple or two further to earn time until it reaches us, in the hope that we were in order (you realize that it was a plan for bankruptcy that we would not have captured in 1000 years). Another idea was to move on the part that had already been, forgotten and get rid of shame. In the end he won what the first spoke, that is Yvonne who firmly said: «Ok … I laughed twice so far, it’s your turn. When I am attack i«She was right, it was my turn. Kacem comes, I start, I put a table, Sompilebrò Yvonne … looks at us and says:»Hmmm … this is the previous exercise, I have already done it«And it shows us with great patience, as we should have done. And look, we realized what the» Buba «was in the universe: We had a small delay. 🙂 And we, more burning like this … tell us the joke now and we laugh more than an hour. 🙂

There was another pretty phase and Saturday. I was working with the short sword and long sword. We had to receive, absorb a blow. Dr. Kacem Zoughari said several times: Put the weight on the rear leg and push you«Every time he said, all my neurons were pressing the panic button … friend … come on … Igzist Possibility that may be and possibilities that cannot be. So … let’s recap: I put the weight on the rear leg OR pushing? That I can’t do them. 🙂

Three days have passed when we had fun, but we also learned a lot. Sometimes his words Dr. Kacem Zoughari Break the peel on the wound you have almost forgotten, and this becomes living meat. This is how he feels his words and even if I do not immediately understand their meaning (and I don’t ask because I usually do not miss the opportunity to stay kee 🙂), I know that I have time to return them to all the parts until I can heal «wounds», without signs. The training of this weekend represented a series of delicate steps, delicate in the inner light, which we are often afraid to look because we have the impression that accepted us. But the truth is that light does not blind us, but fear. I learned it in these days The answers come especially when you forget questions.

Some places become churches, even if they have nothing saint in them (at least not judging by the rules imposed by religions). But even so they have the power to repair our life souls at various times. In such places we feel protected from the outside world and the beautiful part is that there are no large and thick walls that areolated from others. On the contrary, there are numerous doors that are more dazzling. In such spaces, hope, trust, courage prosperous in us. But perhaps the most important thing is that We are allowed to be still children.

Looking at it in these three days Dr. Kacem ZoughariMy passengers came to mind «Little prince«, Who surprised me because I haven’t read the book for a long time Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. But sometimes, Dr. Kacem Zoughari It seems detached from this story. Listening to it by speaking, explaining, I understand better the words fox (I quote from memory): «You can only see well with your heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes. People have forgotten this truth but you don’t have to forget it«O The words king: «It is much more difficult to judge yourself than to judge the other. If you can judge yourself well, it means that you are really wise«.

I want to thank him Dr. Kacem Zoughari For the patience with which each process explained countless times, especially when I said in the mouth, but we were contradicted by the mimic, the gesture and by our eyes that were screaming it «No, I didn’t understand«And thanks too they are going Sensei Cristian Laiiber for the organization and the possibility of meeting a truly deosted man.
