Modern psychology is a dead horse and folk psychology is a wide open frontier: Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis never claimed to offer a cure. In psychoanalysis, the word psyche refers to the forces in an individual that influence thought, behavior and personality. Freud stole the word 'psyche' from ancient Greek, which referred concept of the self, encompassing the ancient ideas of soul, spirit, and mind. The Greeks believed that the "psyche" was responsible for behavior. (where did the Greeks get their knowledge?) Short-sighted sticky-fingered bandits have been pirating our words. Emotional Martial Art aims to make a firm decision about certain words, specifically the words that have been framed to mean something their not.

For instance, the word "pirate" itself has been taken over by the big content companies.
They mean "anyone who shares files". Real pirates murdered, raped and stole. They didn't share music, rightly or wrongly.

For instance, "intellectual property" refers to ideas. Ideas aren't property. Not only one person can "own" them. It's a bad metaphor leading to corrupt laws.

For instance, "devotee" refers to commitment. One who is ardently devoted to something, an enthusiast or advocate. Not fanatical adherent of a cult.

For instance, "hotel guest" pretends that people who pay money to stay in a building are somehow guests.

For instance, "psycho-analysis" assumes that every psyche is incurable.

When certain words are reconnected to their proper significance, only then will Emotional Martial Art offer effective long term results.

Mental Health and Tax Relief: when the president of the United States suggested "Tax Relief" he framed the word relief. wait a minute??? pain from what? Taxes, big ouch! Most people did not even know they needed relief; why do my taxes have to be so painful? This is called a linguistic frame-up; it’s a set up, a scheme to incriminate the innocent, the outcome of which is fraudulently prearranged. The combined words 'Mental Health' are also a frame job. If there is nothing serious or physically wrong with your brain, then it is working perfect, and so... there is no such thing as mental health. As time goes on I become more and more certain, consciousness is not fragile, and well being is a choice.

Kicking the Dead Horse, Modern Psychology; a computer does not get a virus, the programming does. The computer works fine or else the virus would not exist, likewise for the human brain. The fact that bad behavior creates imbalance is proof that the mind is working perfect. The brain works so perfect that it creates the problem when necessary. The computer works so well that the programmer can create a problem. There is nothing wrong with the human mind, people only think there is, and that very thought is a virus.

Redlining: in economics 'Redlining' is the practice of denying or increasing the cost of services, such as banking, insurance, access to jobs, access to health care, or even supermarkets to residents in certain, often racially determined areas. One of the most devastating forms of economic redlining, and the most common use of the term, refers to mortgage discrimination. The term "redlining" was coined in the late 1960s by community activists in Chicago. It describes the practice of marking a red line on a map to delineate the area where banks would not invest. During the heyday of redlining these areas were most frequently minority inner city neighborhoods.

For the Emotional Martial Artist the metaphor 'Redlining' describes the practice of marking a red line on their emotional map to delineate the area of life where they would not tolerate.

The Big Three: refers to race, gender, and sexual orientation. Redlining the big three on any level, whether expressed internally or externally, the act will create mental imbalance. Emotional Artist cannot begin a reliable psyche self-defense until fully transcending the big three. Authentic transcendence means to transcend and include, not exclude. You may think that this does not apply simply because you do not discriminate... mind that what you are witnessing is also the blindingly obvious. New devotees soon find that they were very involved and very bias, The big three has become so big that it is more often than not, blindingly obvious.

The Heart: This has long been used as a symbol to refer to the spiritual, emotional, moral, and in the past also intellectual core of a human being. As the heart was once widely understood to be the seat of the human mind, the word heart continues to be used poetically to refer to the soul, and stylized depictions of hearts are extremely prevalent symbols representing love. However, more realistic depictions of human hearts tend to have macabre connotations of death and violence, quite unlike the concepts associated with the poetic and symbolic heart. This discrepancy is a common source of bad charactor.

The Heart is the seat of the human mind, the core of human-being, and the heart communicates with the head. It’s a one way connection; the heart cannot hear the head. Or in other words, the head cannot command the heart. There are two sides of reality, one side is temporal and the other is non-linear. The heart exists on both; it is the nonlinear side of the heart that speaks to us. The nonlinear side of the heart does not change, it is timeless and pure. It is the exact same heart you were born with, and it cannot be hurt or broken.

Predator or Prey; whether a victim or not, the Emotional Artist can restore mental balance to anchor peace of mind and empower themselves to the fullest. Neurodiversity is the highest level that the Emotional Martial Artist can achieve. The entry level devotee is given the tools to examine and remove all the Redlining that has accumulated. Once accomplished the side effects include increased IQ and memory (noble mind), and reliable psyche self-defense. Only then can the devotee begin to witness what’s truly in the heart. And only then can the devotee begin redlining the opposition from a fix strong position, from the heart.

Emotion; an umbrella concept in the common language, and this discrepancy is a common source of bad charactor.

E + motion = energy + motion; the human being creates a mental state that arises spontaneously rather than through effort. And these sudden changes are often accompanied by physical changes. This ability to shape shift is a byproduct of energy in motion; in other words, shape shifting it is not the goal.

Emotional Martial Art; the first goal is devotion to remove emotional blockage and witness the spontaneous shape shift.

Entry level devotees realize that energy blockage creates a painful reaction in our everyday temporal life. A reaction often causes us to say or feel things like “I did not mean to do that” or “that’s not who I really am”. This emotional blockage creates a state of mental agitation or disturbance and lack of control, a form of slavery. Entry level devotees understand that they cannot control painful reactions and therefore choose to remove the cause.

The emotional blockage is created by redlining the opposition from the head. The redline district in the mind causes the painful reaction because it directly contradicts what is in the heart. The only reason people hurt people is because of pain, and the only exception to this fundamental truth is that they did not know what they were doing.

An advanced level devotee realizes a cool connection is most effective. Redline districts are easily identified by temper. A hot temper is obvious symptom and indicates a specific redline district.

The Mirror Image; it takes one to know one. Every redline district offers a direct beam into personal history. The human mind works perfect, everything has been recorded. When the devotee points a finger they understand there are six pointing back.

Each Redline district; is composed of six components of memory, only the top component needs to be identified and the whole district is then neutralized; No more reaction. The devotee is able to act in accord instead of react old memories.


The Box of Mirrors; it takes one to know one. This metaphor designates the basic tenet of Emotional Martial Art. The entry level devotee realizes a mirror image is one of the most fundamental laws in the universe. An advanced level devotee can integrate totally into Box of Mirrors. They do have the ability to view the 'Whole' and better calculate the consequences of their actions. Emotional Martial Art is not about emotional control, it is about emotional freedom and humankinds underestimates of the power of the human heart.


Remember to honor our ancestors…
Perhaps if you can remember seven generations,
Then you can see seven generations into the future.
