Ask Bard: What are the similarities between the teachings of Abraham Hicks and Kung Fu?
Bard Replies: While seemingly disparate, there are some surprising similarities between the teachings of Abraham Hicks and the philosophy of Kung Fu:
Focus on Energy:
- Hicks: Abraham Hicks emphasizes the importance of vibrational frequencies, where positive thoughts and emotions attract positive experiences. Similarly, Kung Fu focuses on harnessing and directing internal energy (qi) for health, well-being, and physical effectiveness.
Personal Power:
- Hicks: Hicks encourages taking responsibility for creating your own reality through conscious thought and intention. Likewise, Kung Fu cultivates personal power through self-mastery, discipline, and honing physical and mental skills.
Flow and Harmony:
- Hicks: Hicks stresses alignment with the universal flow of abundance and achieving harmony with your highest self. Kung Fu aims for flow and balance in movement, both internally and externally, emphasizing graceful execution and adaptation to opponents.
Continuous Learning and Growth:
- Hicks: Hicks advocates for ongoing personal growth and expansion of consciousness. Kung Fu prioritizes constant practice and refinement of technique, cultivating physical and mental resilience.
Presence and Awareness:
- Hicks: Hicks encourages living in the present moment and being fully aware of your thoughts and emotions. Kung Fu emphasizes mindfulness and heightened awareness in combat and everyday life.
Duality and Balance:
- Hicks: Hicks acknowledges the duality of life, with both positive and negative experiences playing a role in growth. Kung Fu recognizes the interplay of yin and yang, opposing forces that ultimately create balance and harmony.
Of course, there are also key differences:
- Spiritual vs. Physical: Hicks’ teachings are primarily spiritual and metaphysical, while Kung Fu is a practical martial art with physical training.
- Individual vs. Universal: Hicks focuses on individual intention and creation, while Kung Fu integrates personal development within a broader cultural and philosophical context.
- Action vs. Contemplation: Hicks emphasizes deliberate thought and manifestation, while Kung Fu blends active practice with mindful awareness.
In conclusion, though seemingly different, the teachings of Abraham Hicks and Kung Fu share surprising parallels in their emphasis on energy, personal power, flow, and continuous growth. Recognizing these similarities can offer interesting perspectives on self-development, well-being, and navigating the complexities of life.
My wife took our son to school this morning, and our daughter is home sick, so I effectively had a rather relaxing morning. I eventually ended up at Panera Bread for a coffee. It’s lightly raining, and we are expecting a storm, so after getting my coffee I went to school to pick up my son who was being let our early because of said storm. You can see the puddles made by this light rain just outside the Panera Bread entrance in the photo to the left.
I had a great meditation/nap this afternoon. I seem to get into meditating mood much easier these days, but I usually fall asleep after that. I’m not sure if that matters or not? At any rate, let me tell you about the dream I had before I woke up.
In this dream I wandered into what seemed to be a used bookstore. While there I came across a box of belongings, and I told the old lady who ran the place that it looked very familiar to me. Upon looking at the contents I came across a number of childhood photos of myself with my sister and family. My mother must have gotten rid of this box or sold it at a garage sale or “something” and it ended up at this bookstore. I also came across what looked like an old school textbook about how to navigate a ship from North America to the artic. While I was looking for a date on this book and determining which of these belongings I wanted to “repurchase” and take home another elderly lady came to talk to me. She inquired as to whether I had ever met Katie Driscoll and told me that the resemblance was uncanny. As we talked some more, she made an inference that it was my daughter who undenounced to me I had while I was a doctoral student at Stanford. I then woke up…
Who knows what the true story behind these dreams are, but I thought I would share it in case it means something at some point…
I have built quite a few pages on this website and want to create some sort of a menu system to highlight those that are currently in use, and archive those that were created previously, but are not currently being used… Stay tuned…
