CORPUS
We are the combination of matter and energy. These two components can be further sub-divided into categories. Kinetic energy, potential energy, stable matter, dynamic matter. Control of the body is control of these four elements as they act upon the body. The body is the only true physical possession that we own. We inherently want to protect it as long as we maintain our own minds in the process. It is only through the mind that it is possible for us to fathom allowing our body's to corrode. You know this because when you burn your hand, your body removes the hand from the source of the heat. That is what it feels like to remove the mind from the equation. You will do whatever is necessary to maintain your body. The moment that this is accepted is the moment that you begin on the path of realizing that you must commit to maintaining your body beyond relying on your reactive self. It is possible to simply assume that in the moment when it is required that you run for your life that it will happen (reactive reliance) but it is equally possible to adapt the body into a position where running for any reason is done with ease and therefore easy to avoid emergency situations all together (proactive adaptation). In this situation, if both archetypes were placed next to each other and both forced to have to run for their lives, both would have the same reaction but the proactive archetype would run faster and longer (n vs. n+1). In a mortal duel, would you rather be first or dead?
Hypothesis Upon the Relationship Between Matter and Energy
Matter and energy are everlasting partners. To think of them as separate entities is unjust yet necessary for us to comprehend them in a finite sense. Yet we must admit that without one another, they are inconceivable. Matter houses energy and energy powers matter. Matter confines and concentrates by reducing the entropy of energy. This concentrating increases the power output of the energy. Upon reaching a threshold, it bursts from its cage and dissipates back to its resting state of infinite spacial distance (the energetic power reduces to 1 = 1). To maintain the confinement of energy, the matter must maintain its integrity. The degradation of matter, again due to entropy, will weaken the bonds that hold energy in its captured state. Energy in a captured state is susceptible to the influence of the mind. The mind having the ability to selectively choose a moderated release of energy from its material prison. The greater the integrity of the matter, the greater the confinement of energy and thus the mind will have greater range of use of said energy.
All matter contains energy. Rocks contain energy, water falling from the sky has energy. With that thought you can also imagine the awesome power stored within a mountain or a sea. In both instances, the greater the concentration of the matter, the stronger the bonds that bind the energy within. The greater the bonds, the greater the amount of energy that can be contained. The same principle must then apply to all matter including our body. The greater the concentration of our mass, the greater the bonds. The strengthening of the body should not be understood as becoming larger, instead it should be thought of as becoming denser (more concentrated). Yet, a balance must be maintained because it is very possible for us to increase mass without a proportional increase in strength (obesity). We can become a mountain but not made from hardened rock, rather soft mud. Rocks will hold themselves together, mud will not. The amount of energy can overwhelm the matter and introduce an increase in entropy into our personal system. The accumulation of entropy to a human being equates to corporeal death, the dissipation or both our energy and matter to its resting state.
Stimulation of the Body
Body Practices attempt to manipulate the elements of matter and energy in ways that ultimately benefit us. Some practices can directly affect the elements while others work to cause enough change that other elements are forced to adapt.
