made of metal containing food stuffs many strange custom tasks until they perform a ceremony which causeth a curious sound they use wondrous devices unknown to us but to our greatest astonishment we found there Scholars of renown seeking to derive Knowledge from the Deeds of verminous beasts well and this one is uh I guess an experiment on the uh effects of psychological stress on Behavior we

being a party member I don't regret it because the party has given me a great many things and uh and I'm not talking about stalinism has given me a a a picture of society it is connected up that picture from the very foundations of the Earth as it were to the economic development of today I had pended everything I had on that philosophy and that philosophy turn sour was stal and I went my own way but I pursued the philosophy of socialism I had learned I had read than I had learned from a man like bararan for example and I thought he was a terrific thinker and I had read his writings and it can Ved me he was a a great man and then when I found that Stalin had spurned them and and looked upon them as a as a trator I just couldn't understand that such a man such a mind such a real champion of socialism dubbed to traitor and hurt me to the point that I could no longer go with them I had to step aside and do a little thinking do a little thinking before I could proceed and that's what I did and do you know that since I stepped aside and was no longer uh a party member uh I found that my thinking was released and I could make decisions according to my own logic and I think I have been a much better man since then because I have no longer to wait for the opinions of other people I conform my own opinions and that doesn't mean to say that I have deviated one Iola from socialist thoughts or drive to socialist ends man like myself we were Misfits in society after that in some instant we belong nowhere we had no spiritual home as it were you see you have to have a man has still have some mental allies as it were then it leaves you it leaves like a poor man who has a strong religion for example that believes absolutely in a deity and a doctrine of religion and find it as all

karate you can't just you can't just go and practice it every day and and do your your your sens your punches your kicks and practice all your techniques you've got to put something more into it it's got to go a bit deeper than that okay in karate you go deep and you've got to have deep concentration and this is how you got to practice you got to always be in this kind of emotional state this is where you you start to bring in sort of Zen now we don't go that deeply into zen but uh like what Zen actually is or basically what it is is a very deep concentration you try to take your mind and and put it into what you're doing your mind is actually right there in your fist [Applause] [Music] two 3 5 6 7 8 [Music] he 13 [Applause] 14 this man is a steel worker he operates a punch press you might
