Master Sun's Five Fundamentals In Review

Here they are again. Please try to take them in and make them your own.

1) The Way
2) Heaven
3) Earth
4) Command
5) Discipline
2) I claim to be a very disciplined follower. The MAGA Movement has, to date, just one ultimate leader, President Donald Trump. Following his stolen victory in 2020, I realized that I must become a follower on down the chain from his office to that of my local county sheriff.
3) Here it is 2021, and so far in my life I've never engaged over a governor's run. Or over State Legislature elections. Or over my own county's supervisorial elections. I've never studied the candidates. I've never gotten involved.
4) This may no longer stand. As I have stated, I have children and grandchildren. How may I pass the America we live in, the state and county we live in, on down to my children as is, without ever getting involved? The truth is my patriotism demands my change.
5) We are transplants here and have not determined if we'll live here the rest of our lives or relocate to another state or county. We are not yet permanent. Our county is just about as Blue as a county may be. Should we decide to stay, we'll have to fight that going forward.
6) Our current vote structure can be simply addressed. Of the 80,000 + registered voters here, about 50,000 show up and vote. That means that more than 30,000 do not. The real question for our county is who are those 30,000 people? Where do they stand? What do they want?
7) My suspicion is that the majority of those 30,000 + registered voters who do not vote leans Red, not Blue. My suspicion is that they have no thought to victory. Our county is too controlled by the Blue. How might we win? Likely, we cannot.
8) I am not able to stand for election, personally. I am not able to become a politician. I am able to be a commentator, as you see here. I am able to include comment as part of my daily life and work. I believe in commenting. I most truly do.
9) Until now, however, I have never endorsed anyone able to stand from Governor, through Legislature, down to County Supervisor. It is this which must change, by Discipline. What's more, I must both register and become involved as a Republican.
10) Here's John Minford on point:

"Every commander is aware of these Five Fundamentals. He who grasps them wins. He who fails to grasp them loses."
11) Here's the Presidential campaign. Here the Governor. Here our Senators and Congressmen. Here our State Legislature. Here our County Supervisors. Who among them have The Way, Heaven, Earth, Command, and Disciplined followers?
12) At Presidential level, you can forget Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan. You cannot forget Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, Obama, or Trump. Why? 41 - 45 are still present in their impact upon your everyday, real life. 45 is still President. There is no true 46, yet. It was stolen.
13) But what can YOU do about the stolen Election 2020? Nothing. You and I are spectators. We may have voted. But our vote was stolen. We have no individual power to do anything about that theft. It is simply a fact we must accept as such, a fact. A stolen election.
14) I do not yet know my local commander. As I promised yesterday, I seek him or her. I know my local county Supervisor. She is a wonderful person. But she and I do not share a vision for our county. She is on the other side.
15) As it stands right now, although she does not know this, she is an honored enemy. I honor her, greatly. But when she discovers, as she surely will if my family stays here, that I am on the other side, I will become her enemy. I am sad about that.
16) Why am I sad? She shared with me, over the phone, how hard she has worked, how much she has sacrificed. no, that was not a direct statement. I heard it in her story. I always ask each soul I meet for their story. Hers is one of patriotic sacrifice. She's a wonderful person.
17) Tactically, it is very important that I share my method. I avoided any and all possible areas of conflict while we spoke. What point might there be of us arguing? None. I won't change her mind. She won't change mine. So, all I attempted to do was be friendly and learn.
18) True patriot that she is, her only objective was to recruit my participation. She never asked where I stand. Brilliantly intelligent soul that she is, I imagine she ascertained I'm not on her side of the aisle, politically. Yet there she was, remaining in conversation.
19) You know what's more important than politics? Friendship. Patriotism. We must never imagine that those on the other side of the aisle are not disciplined patriots. We must imagine that friendship can include fierce disagreement. These are the demands of Discipline.
20) It's so interesting to me that Superman calls for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. He doesn't speak to Heaven's will but we may. And then there's Earth, Command, and Discipline. It is my own Discipline that must rise.

Yours too.
Thread ends at #20.

What is The Way for YOUR county? What is Heaven's will? What they lay of the land? Who is your Commander? What is your Discipline?

Action Alone Is Not The Answer

There are many reasons, but one more than any other, followed by a close second. The most important reason is how little action there actually is. Image
2) Action has 5 stages:

1) Consideration
2) Decision
3) Commencement
4) Execution
5) Completion

You might be surprised to learn that actually getting started is the hardest part. Pushing execution through to completion follows next. Let's redo the list that way...
3) Here's our 5-part Action Stages list, ordered from most difficult to easiest:

1) Commencement
2) Completion
3) Execution
4) Decision
5) Consideration

This too is complex, however, and deceptive as well. Wheels within wheels, this is not simple stuff.

Master Sun's Five Fundamentals: 5) Discipline

“Discipline is Organization, Chain of command, Control of expenditure.”
2) "Every commander is aware of these Five Fundamentals. He who grasps them wins; he who fails to grasp them loses."

The Way. Heaven. Earth. Command. Discipline. These are the Five Fundamentals.

3,083 Counties in America. Who masters these Five Fundamentals for each?
3) Discipline. This is my great accusation against our side. We allow the other side to be more disciplined than we are. They are more organized. They know their way, their heaven, their attack upon the earth, who their commander is, and their discipline better than we do.

Master Sun's Five Fundamentals: 4) Command

I didn't intend to introduce Alfred Huang's great masterpiece, his translation of the I Ching today. In my studies this morning, I found I have no choice. Huang is my I Ching Master.
2) For the life of me this morning, I could not find a specific term I was looking for. I have books that offer the translation of specific terms, and the one I was looking for is the one Huang translates as "superior person." Hey, wait...
3) Aha! I found the resource book I needed. This book translates each and every Chinese term in the Tao Te Ching literally. Oh how much do I love this book. This is meticulous analysis!

Master Sun's Five Fundamentals: 3) Earth

Studying Earth, we turn first to the Yin Yang.

1) The Way
2) Heaven

3) Earth

4) Command
5) Discipline
2) There are many tales regarding the discovery of the Yin Yang. As a visual symbol, such as the one above, history offers us the 1st use by Rome in an image of its many insignia from around 400 A.D. Note it appears twice in the second row.
3) We won't linger to explore Roman symbols. It is, however, a tremendous unanswered question about the origin of our symbol. What, if any, is the tie between the Roman and the Chinese usage? We don't know. But as I said, there are many tales about is origin in ancient China.

Master Sun's Five Fundamentals: 2) Heaven

In today's work, we'll find our way to the famous Yin Yang, but first we'll do some work in Genesis 1 and Exodus 20. Here are all five:

1) The Way
2) Heaven
3) Earth
4) Command
5) Discipline Image
2) In my early studies of the Five Fundamentals, I struggled with the difference between The Way and Heaven. I eventually found the term "The Heavens" to be helpful to me. Sky, space, all that which is ABOVE the Earth. The Way being what put them there.
3) Genesis 1: 1 - 3.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

If you notice the date, you'll see this is an essay I posted 12 January 2019. It was my 2nd commentary on Sun Tzu verses, taken from the John Minford translation.

2) Before we go any further, let me urge you to purchase this particular translation, no matter how many others you may already own. And if you're just getting started, this is the best introductory version as well, and by far.

3) When re-reading my commentary on chapter 1 verse 2, this morning, it was surprising how well it stands. I hope you'll agree. Here, 2 years later, we can see the very power of the left described there, and also China's current power in the same vein.
