THE KARATE CONSCIOUSNESS - FROM WORLDLY WARRIOR TO MYSTIC MASTER is dedicated to the philosophy that karate is both an excellent system for the integration of body, mind and spirit as well as an excellent vehicle for the evolution of one's consciousness of life from a mundane perspective to a more elevated and edified reality. Just as many martial arts systems are comprised of an ascending ladder of colored belts to designate accomplishment, so life is also comprised of an ascending ladder of levels of consciousness from worldly to divine. THE KARATE CONSCIOUSNESS - FROM WORLDLY WARRIOR TO MYSTIC MASTER shares concepts and perspectives which may help the karate practitioner in climbing the "Ladder of Consciousness." Among such concepts are the Power in the Flock Syndrome, the Continuum, the D.C. Factor, the Great Law of Karma and much more. THE KARATE CONSCIOUSNESS - FROM WORLDLY WARRIOR TO MYSTIC MASTER contains intrinsic and universal worth, not just for martial artists but for all people. Through THE KARATE CONSCIOUSNESS - FROM WORLDLY WARRIOR TO MYSTIC MASTER, Karate Institute of America Founder and Grandmaster Richard Andrew King shares insightful spiritual and mystic knowledge gained throughout his fifty years of martial arts study and professional teaching.
