lets point a finger to the direction of chi flow ( I used to do this thing in aikido where, towards the end and after a standard move or throw I would do it with index finger pointed and then leave it extended and pointing to where the person landed . Observers would be ; '' Wow ! he threw that guy with one finger ! '' ... which of course, I didnt . )

This particular aspect of it is like 'ki' in aikido . To put what Bruce said in another context ; When developing ki , in an aikido exercise , say , someone seizes your wrist ..... during the 'jitsu' you do not focus on your hand (or even your body ) that is moving ( ie the finger pointing at the moon ) nor the 'destination' of your 'ki stream ' ( the Moon ) but the flow of energy from your hand to the 'ki stream destination' ( the 'pointing ' part ) ... the idea of pointing is to direct consciousness along a pathway or stream ... ' flow ' .

I am not sure why it surprised you ? * Maybe you are not aware of my study and research backgrounds ? Of course . In this case the 'generalities' seem heavily loaded one way . But I remembered another such case of similar 'peaceful rearrangements in society' , still within the overall context of the Australian indigenous , but this time TSI side of ATSI ( Australian and Torres Straight Islands ) - * I note these not as any type of counter or contradiction to your observation , as I said I agree with it . But these cases certainly hold some interest as a way of 'sorting things out' peacefully and alternatively .... they seem at least 'inspired' deep and show wisdom . ... and 'intelligent ' ( under the definition of intelligence where it is defined as decisions that benefit yourself others and the overall system at the same time .

I chose the side of the 'White Lodge ' '' LET IT BE KNOWN that there exists, unknown to the great crowd, a very ancient Order of sages, whose object is the amelioration and spiritual evolution of mankind by means of conquering error and aiding men and women in their efforts of attaining the power of recognising the truth. This Order has existed already in the most remote times and it has manifested its activity secretly and openly in the world under different names and in various forms: it has caused social and political revolutions and proved to be the rock of salvation in times of danger and misfortune. It has always upheld the banner of freedom against tyranny in whatever shape this appeared, whether as clerical or political or social despotism or oppression of any kind. To this “secret order” every wise and spiritually enlightened person belongs by right of his or her nature: because they all, even if they are personally unknown to each other, are one in their purpose and object and they all work under the guidance of the one light of truth. Into this Sacred Society no one can be admitted by another unless he has the power to enter it himself by virtue of his own interior illumination, neither can anyone after he has once entered be expelled unless he should expel himself by becoming unfaithful to his principles and forget again the truths which he has learned by his own experience.
