MartialIntent said:I've never met a genuine, focussed, disciplined instructor yet who wasn't a deep thinker in their art, no, on the contrary, the fear is often because no-one in their lineage has ever pointed out to him that what he does, how he acts, how he thinks and how he fights are spiritual aspects of the art.
I meant to comment on this in my prior post, but forgot.
I think being a deep thinker in one's art is not necessarily the same as being spiritual. I would hope that everyone thinks deeply, even meditatively, about the art that they practice. But I just don't see this as spiritual.
