Martial Arts TalkBy James Patrick Lacy "Springy Palm / Startling Force Legendary Oral Traditional "Effect." Welcome loyal Karate Voice readers! I was told that proper execution of the "springy palm" would be revealed to me in time. I waited many years to be privy to this very high-level rare iron palm type. The effects I was told were that legend had it that when stuck with the springy palm, one would develop cancer. Hey, don't kill the messenger Let's take a quick break here to read what an old '94 Merriam-Webster Dictionary says concerning these words springy and startling. 1. Springy: without going into detail, the key words I focused on were resilient (having or showing a lively and energetic movement.) 2. Resilient: recoil, leap, capable of withstanding shock without permanent deformation or rupture. The tending to recover from or adjust to misfortune or change. Before going to the word my former teacher referred to as startling, let me just share one more word that comes to mind with springy. That is the word sally. Sally means to rush forward or leap out burst fully and suddenly. Startling means to cause momentary fright, surprise or astonishment. I have seen my cat use it to leap 3 feet in mid air from a nap to catch a fly perfectly between his paws without killing it. I have done these meditations and built up tremendous explosive energy. I have experimented with the speed using a back fist in the middle of the meditation to "test" the speed…it works so don't try it, it disrupts the chi. In perspective of the centerpiece coconut break, the springy palm damages the meat inside the coconut without damaging the outside hard shell. I have cut coconuts open after my strikes to verify this. I even documented breaking the shell while leaving the coconut in tact. Training eclectically in so many of these methods has produced some miraculous breaking experiences. This is what a fellow Urantia book reader with a couple of Masters degrees in science related fields allowed me to quote when I asked him for his two cents regarding this legendary oral tradition phenomenon. His name is Sandor Szabados and here are his comments for this article. "As to why the monks believed that such a blow would cause cancer, I can only speculate, more so because the cause (s) of cancer are not really known at present. Here is my guess, for whatever it is worth. Cancer is defined as 'an uncontrolled growth of cells that disrupt body tissue.' The blow (s) could produce high-energy waves that could conceivably disrupt the 'harmony' of the waves generated by the electrons in the atoms of 'healthy' cells, just as x-rays and ultraviolet rays do. It is known that exposure to these high-energy waves causes cancer because they are very short and thus able to penetrate soft tissue. Blows of this type used in your martial arts "may" do the same." In closing, for the sake of space I would like to share excerpts from an article I wrote on the aura. Try to visualize some of this aruic information blending into the concepts just mentioned above about the springy palm. When visualizing, focus on the healing aspects as well as martial. On my Panther Dim Mak series tape "Scientific Analysis of Chi," we read 'energy' using tools called an 'electro-meridian imaging unit' and a dark field microscope hooked up to a video monitor. We have known of Kirlian photography and now there is the 'bio' auric computerized reader. The aura is seen to be composed of all the colors of the spectrum. Combinations differ with individuals and are constantly shifting in the case of all of us. The colors are representative of mental and emotional states. My former teacher said he could read the changing colors of my aura. For those of you looking for metaphysical reading on 'color,' check out the writings of Dinshaw who was in the same category/class of adeptness (Theosophically speaking) as say, Madame Blavatsky. To those truly clairvoyant, reading the mind and character become a form of divination in and of itself. Be warned though that each of us has free will. This is pseudo-science so don't let anyone convince you they or you can 'literally' read another's mind. Also remember 'nothing impure can enter that which is pure.' Cancer cells die in lemon juice! In our chi projection meditations, we learn to 'feel' the aura of another and have them 'feel' ours. This can be in a martial or healing context, depending on 'intent.' The colors are the outward appearance of the vibrations themselves; just as color in the physical plane are outward manifestations of vibrating matter. In passing, out of the 100 or so rays of the sun's subtle energies we only use the first 30 or so in our physical world of communication referred to as Hertzian waves. We are indeed radio-active beings. Science had to first discover the human 'atmoshere' before acknowledging the 'possibility' of similarities with auric color and mental and emotional states.
