Every once in a while somebody in the martial arts will touch upon The Golden Sphere. Aikido is big on this theory, as is Pa Kua Chang, and Tai Chi Chuan done resolutely will, eventually, create The Golden Sphere. And even the basest and coarsest of arts, such as Tae Kwon Do and Karate, will, done long enough and with enough attention to detail, and with sufficient eye to the virtues of humanity, result in The Golden Sphere.
Unfortunately, most people never come across this concept of The Golden Sphere, have not heard of it, and are not blessed with even the rudimentary knowledge of how to attain it. Yet the Golden Sphere is nothing but a glow manufactured and sustained, an casement of energy, and the rules for that attaining are easily understood and simply done. Indeed, with a bare listing of the concepts involved, any one of any art could attain it, though, to be honest, it is easier if one has acquired all the knowledge, and studied all the arts.
First and foremost is the grounding of the machine that is your body. You must undertake a severe study of stances, through all potential ranges of motion. You must course the energy up and down the legs, learning when to brace against the ground, and when to liberate yourself from it.
Second and equally important is the glow of the energy center. This energy center is called the tan tien, or the One Point. This energy center is actually an energy generator, and you must breath as if to it, center your awareness on it, cause it to glow from the excitation of energy running up and down the legs, make it work.
Third, most important of all, one must learn how to achieve complete relaxation while practicing the martial arts. If one does not achieve relaxation then energy is not concentrated in the energy center, but rather spread throughout the body to points that are not in a state of relaxation. In other words, energy is held fixed and unusable by points of the body that are not relaxed.
Now, you are breathing, grounding, focusing, and creating truckloads of energy inside the center of the body. This will cause you to glow, regardless of any wish or desire to the contrary--and, to be honest, only a fool would not want to glow. So liberate this energy, course it through the arms by doing forms, and like sparklers on a dark night, encapsualte your body with imaginations of geometric configurations, and let that energy surround you, protect you, and yet not bar you from the world, but rather open you to a different world, a world beyond senses, a world of ethereal perfection.
Eventually, as you practice endlessly and without thought of time or other such mundane limitations, you become art. You become the unique and special individual you are. One thing that will help unlimit you, and increase your progress in this quest a hundred fold, is to study what virtue is, and how to manifest it in your life.
It is easy, you know, if you do your forms with attention to the details I have listed here, if you just get out of your way. It is easy if you put aside the problems of the world, solve them efficiently and quickly, and concentrate your time on this planet to what really matters, the creation and evolution of art. I advise you then, do what I have laid out for you here, and...and to do it through the learning of as many arts as you can, for to seek The Golden Sphere through but one art is slow, to seek it through understanding all is The True Way.
