The Meaning of the American Flag
The Congress of the United States of America has never officially given meaning to the symbols and colors of the Flag of the United States of America. However the people on their own have created a large body of lore for the flag they love.
Colors
• Red - The blood of those who have fought and died to create and preserve the nation. Also it has been seen as the conduit of knowledge coming from the light to our nation
• White - The purity of the ideals that are embodied in the nation. Gods guidance.• Blue - The eternity of God
Shapes
• Stars - The Stars represent the individual states that make up the nation. There is one for each state with new ones being added with each additional state. Combined together in a constellation they represent the unity that can come from individuals working together toward a common destiny.
• Stripes- The thirteen stripes represent the thirteen original colonies that banded together to gain freedom. There are seven red and six white stripes the blood of the people protecting the nations purity. The number 76 as in 1776 also having symbolic meaning.
• Dimensions - The dimensions of the flag. The width being 1.5 times the height and the ratio and pattern of the individual parts are specified in law.
The Meaning of the Korean Flag
The flag of South Korea is a simple design with a great history and symbolism. When hung vertically the red should be to the right. Red and Blue are considered the patriotic colors of the country.
Colors
• White - The purity of the Korean people.• Red - Positive energy of the nation• Blue - Balancing
• Trigrams - In the I Chang, one of the oldest books in Asian thought. there are a series of eight symbols called trigrams that have a multitude of meanings similar to western astrological symbols. The four symbols on the Korean flag are:• Upper Left Kun – Sky – Heaven• Lower Right Kon – Earth – Man• Upper Right Kam – Water – also Moon• Lower Left Yi – Fire – also Sun
• Yin Yang – In the original symbol at the center of the Korean Flag was a symbol created by tracing the path of the sun's shadow cast by a sundial. It has come to mean the twofold nature of the universe. The blue yin on the bottom represents the earth and the red yang representing the heaven. The colors are reversed from the “real” colors of the earth and sky because the universe needs balance.
Water Principle
THE WATER PRINCIPLEIt is nature's way that water always follows themost efficient path to its end. It cannot do otherwise! Still, as the course is run,barriers and obstacles arise, which at first, appear to impede its flow.The inherentefficiency of what occurs may not always be apparent.Understanding the waterprinciple necessitates reflection on several levels. On the surface waterrepresents "gentle" energy, always yielding, soft and comforting. Yet, its verygentleness makes it the great shaper of nature!
Just as water shapes mountains and canyons with its gentle embrace our firstlevel of understanding invokes the concept/contradiction that even while yielding toour opponent's strength, we embrace him and his directed energy in the end,diluting his focus. When he thrusts, we recede, when he retreats, we fill the void this is the water principle. Though we are apart from our opponent, by applying thewater principle , our movement becomes one with his. We, together, are one. Eachapart, but each causing the movement of the other. In the end, there is only onemovement ... one flow. The next level addresses the matter of flow. Water in itscourse is free to flow in any direction there are unlimited choices and possibilities but always the most efficient path is found, regardless of the obstaclesconfronted. Water cannot make the wrong choice about flow.The martial artist islike water in its endless quest for the sea. There are innumerable choices andendless obstacles. Like water, if the martial artist conducts his search with a trueheart and an impeccable spirit any choice he makes and any path he undertakeswill bring him closer to his goal. As with water issues of success or failure,correctness or incorrectness become meaningless. If the heart is true and the spirit
is impeccable, the course will be appropriate. All else loses meaning. All else isdistraction.The third level of understanding is where we become exactly as water totally fluid and perfectly integrated with our surroundings. Thoughts about victoryand defeat are questions pertinent to "ego" and "self" which dissolve when themartial artist arrives at the "experience" of the water principle . Note I did not havethe martial artist arriving at an "understanding" of the water principle. He does notknow the water principle by "understanding" it. He either experiences it or doesnot. There are no alternatives. When one experiences the water principle, the"one" who "understands" the water principle no longer exists and is of noconsequence. Victory and defeat become meaningless alternatives when one"experiences" the water principle and responds with the appropriate counter forevery situation. Once the water principle has been mastered, there can be nowrong move.So when describing the characteristic that one following the waterprinciple always makes the
correct choice no matter what he decides to do we are faced with a paradox.The martial artist, in becoming perfectly fluid and one with the flow of the universe,makes the "right" move no matter how he moves. To the uninitiated, it would seembeing locked into the "perpetually correct" course through the water principle wouldcause the martial artist to lose freedom of choice and thus his reason forexistence. The reality is that distinctions become meaningless and debates overfreedom of choice and what is right or wrong are left to the philosophers while themartial artist flows on by unaffected by the obstructions.
