The Four Watch Towers of Understanding.
The Four Watch Towers.
-
The Far Eastern Watch Tower
A journey that begins with Taoist Alchemy and the Yellow Emperor, and develops through the study of the five elements of Wu-Shi, and the I-Ching. A path of development that forms Confucianism and a unique culture where philosophy and understanding is built into the study of Martial Arts through the use of Buddhism and later Zen Buddhism. Over time the establishment of the Great Empires such as China, Japan, Taiwan have all grown from the fruits of this great Far Eastern Watch Tower. As in the East true understanding and un paralleled union of the universe is found throughout the great pagodas of seclusion.

The Far Western Watch Tower
In the Americas the contrasting nations of the civilized Aztecs in the south and the nomadic Native Indians in the north created a system of understanding the universe to levels that would until this day never be equaled. A deeper natural link between their environment and their human consciousness that allowed them to be content with their material cultural development into the times of the modern world. This pathway is perhaps the closest we would find to the first steps of our early understandings in the other three Watch Towers and provides a philosophy of a more natural and internal development. Using mother nature itself and the spirit and understanding of the natural world we can begin to discover the meaning and value of life out our core and find an inner piece rivaled by no other in the steps up the Far Western Watch Tower.

The Eastern Watch Tower
This path of study began with the shamans of the Indus Valley and moved into mainland India, forming Hinduism and Buddhism and utilizing philosophical tools such as the Kundalini, Chakras, Laya Yoga, the Mo Pai and Ayurveda. The great cultures of Tibet, the Himalayas, Thailand and India were formed on these foundations bringing to the world the spice trade, great marvels like the Taj Mahal and cultural treasures that hold these philosophies within physical arts like Muay Boran, Escrima, San Shao and Silat which pass on the secret teachings of the Indus People from these steps into the levels of the foundations of the Eastern Watch Tower true inner power can be generated to rival the mightiest fires or the electrical engines conceived by man.

The Western Watch Tower
From the cradle of civilization this diverse and developed journey of understanding will take you from the time of the Egyptians and the Tarot along with the Hebrews of the Middle east into a spiraling expansion of cultures and civilizations stretching form the South African Tribes, the Warriors of the Northlands to the Persians of Babylonia and the Celts of Britain. The philosophical ladder of understanding would grow to form Judaism, Gnosis, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Islam and would form all great modern fields of science, architecture, art and literature. Influencing and forming the basis for great minds such as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Carl Jung and Many P Hall. A path of learning and understanding so diverse and vast the meaning at its core is often difficult to unearth, but for those who can the rewards are great as they walk the path of the Western Watch Tower.
