' It's not what you say, but what you do ' - "Actions speak louder than words. " '

Michael Maliiszewski in "Spiritual Dimensions of the Martial Arts, "writes [page 134]

..."with few exceptions, phenomenological descriptions & self-reports by contemporary scholars knowledgeable in behavioral sciences and religious studies are often characterized by limited experience within even a single meditative discipline. Ironically, the most widely published writers in this area are amongst the least experienced on the 'path and in fact are unable to either assess or understand the nature of advanced meditative experience.

[page 134/5]

"In the martial arts, a flawless, effortless performance by a master within a particular system can either serve to illustrate direct experience and embodiment of this authenticated or tranformative psychological dimension, or simply excellence in technical precision."
