Personal Development and Human Development

Have you already thought about the difference between these two developments? Today I gonna write about it basing in a speech given last week by my Si Fu, Senior Master Julio Camacho. He wanted to explain to the practitioners that the center of this differentiation between Personal and Humanity is in the Chinese ideogram that means "humanity" (人). 

In these two traces in 人 is explicit the necessity of two persons for the construction of humanity. An alone person cannot form humanity, there are so many things, centrally generated by the variation of the point of view, that an alone person wouldn't replace. Thus, is a requirement for the Human Development the relationship between two persons. Another conclusion we can get from the ideogram is that the basis of Human Development is in relation between two humans at a time. Even in an ambient with hundreds of people, I only can practice my humanity one by one.

Otherwise, if I want to develop myself, not necessarily I should search another to achieve my goal. Is possible to obtain Personal Development by reading a book, viewing a movie, writing something about Ving Tsun, taking pictures, at the gym etc. By all means, the necessity of another human is implicit in the context, because I can't read without a book written by someone or write a letter without a computer or paper, equally made by someone or many others. However, the other people aren't in the same real situation that I live in the moment that I am developing myself. Although the presence of the other is a requirement, it is not at the same time. Because of it, making any of these things I develop myself as a person, not like a human being.

This explanation given by my Si Fu was not to convince the practitioners that one type of development is better than another. The division made by him I believe was to provide the capacity to the practitioners exploring with more intelligence these two types of development.

The genesis of the opportune moment

Si Fu Julio Camacho in airport before his trip to California After many years and Kung Fu encounters, I have perceived that exists some moments with different qualities. My Si Fu usually choose, to show these different moments, to apply a void in day-to-day scheduled moments to be occupied by disciple energy. But this void is not introduced abruptly, it is placed gently so that the disciple can appropriate it for his own benefit. The central message provided I think is: Kung Fu ability is to transform all moments in opportune moments. The scheduled moments at the beginning is only an excuse to it. This message is hard to understand. At first I thought that “to transform all moments in opportune moments I need to have force or ability to submit situations to my desire”. Wrong! What initially Si Fu points for us, that I named “void”, really is the flow of reality itself. That means that the more we try to create moments programmed according to our way without thinking if this mo

Guarda

Quais os potenciais em cada uma das situações que estamos colocados? Para responder essa pergunta com precisão é necessário estar em atitude de disponibilidade para transição, ou em guarda. Grão Mestre Leo Imamura demonstra no YouTube, em guarda, a guarda do Ving Tsun Guarda não é apenas uma posição. Ela é, em essência, a realização corpórea de uma não-posição por localizar-se no ponto intermediário da transição entre diferentes cenários e seus potenciais. Eu, irmãos Kung Fu Roberto, Guilherme, Claudio, e nosso Si Fu Se todo cenário conserva uma disposição que lhe é própria e simultaneamente se transforma por ser movimento de realização dos potenciais nele contido, é pela integração da guarda a todos os meus movimentos que me faço um leitor-ator perspicaz nesse cenário e posso responder à pergunta. Eu, em posição de guarda, mas fora da guarda
