the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Now I can’t see the vid, but the other day I thought about the Matrix(the movie). Perhaps that’s as in the movie is the future we are heading for and the Covid threat is leading the way ?
We are to self isolate us in our homes/cubicles/cocoons and live through the www, for sure we have been heading for that for as long the Internet been around, but the full scale isolation is pushed more and more it seem. The virus threat is perfect cause it will make us want the isolation more and more ?
The matrix like world is forced or wished upon us by things we (are perceived to)want and need ?

The lady in the sink scene with the bread knife is my Aunty Clare

USA viewpoint only
A good point but what see see now with COVID is an intersectionality of what we have 'accomplished' (or did we?) and the ignorance of those who refuse to see the future in what may be termed 'fututistic visison' meaning the refusal of at least 1/2 the citizenry to believe that COIVID's potentiality aa a killer and refusing to take precautions thereby infecting others and imagining that the government is trying to control their lives showing a Matrix like attachment to a collective that has the illusion of providing comfort but in reality of expression, is sanctifing the ignorance of those masses who are incapable of being conscious.

All of this is breeding and showing the instability of where we have reached and impacting our mental health to an extent that it is under attack with so much inner and outer trauma and over load of stuff that it is only the truly resilient who will survive. Someone has stated that we have been in the age of a kaliyuga (dark age of ignorance which will manifest based on this intersectionality of public health protocols, social inequity, health disparity, societal distortions along with power based redistribution within the social milieu and media exploitation of those realms of contention). All of this unresolved sh*t coming together to test our devotion to this experiment called US America, which was never challenged until recently and refusal to address those past societal inequities. Just ma' view !

Have to read that text again, found it a little a complicated read......Perhaps we are in a matrix reality now and there has occurred a glitch in the fabric of it....or maybe it’s just in my own fabric,..

i wanted to post this; but looks like you beat me to it
i still cannot wrap my mind about the lady who had Parkinson's;
but was able to walk and function properly when sleep walking.
It is hypothesised, in the vid, that our earlier/older animal/reptilian brain
is far superior in the control of motor function.

my teacher believe that every one had fighting abilities, but had to be
unlocked and released. after all these years, looks like he was right.

also tie-in with what The Jet said... "No thinking!!"
