‘The Practice of the Monkey’ has elements in it, which are closely related to the original ideas of parkour, which Georges Hébert spoke about. One of those ideas is—’Move in such a way, as to be useful!’ Look at most of today’s sports! People jogging, doing “exercise”. Isn’t it ridiculous? Isn’t it a waste of energy? Move in such a way as to be useful, or if not that—beautiful!

To ‘act as one’, undivided, no part of us fighting against another—we must necessarily be a bit of a fool. Genius does not spring from holding everything firmly in check (e.g. trying to hold the folly out), it springs from allowing a free-arising/subsiding of any and every thing, without becoming entangled.

‘Acting as one’ is just like being a good leader. We must first set the proper example ourselves (i.e. be ‘one’ in our sense of self), and only then the people will follow (i.e. the actions will arise in harmony with that self and each other).
Freeing the reproductive organs is, without a doubt, the way to power.

As a fighter, you must know yourself—fight only for that, for which your Heart fights.
