SILENT WORDS - How and why we use our fingers?
Man uses his hands for everything, from survival to eating, and without always being aware of it, for talking. We do this without realizing how we relate to our immediate surrounding by the movement and direction of our fingers.
The natural movement of fingers and hands are directly influenced to our brain patterns and the execution of these thoughts are reflected in the movement and direction taken by our fingers. We forget that the movement of our hands tell a tale of what we think, how we think and the result of these thought processes. for example.. We rub our arms in order to think or to be reassured, filling a gab between the known and the unknown. This allows us to find an answer to something, but if we fold our arms we hide our precious talking fingers away from others, hoping they can not guess our true intend.
A truthful person has clearly visible hands and open fingers. This basic truth is more complex than it appears to the human mind. Other than nature that can not harbor false intent, man has learned that the use of his fingers can create and uphold a false sense of security, tell a lie, breed power and destruction and cause alternative behavioral patterns.
Without the use of your fingers life would be much harder. Everyday man looks at his hands wondering where, why, how and when he can succeed or fail. Each person's inner energy questions him or her constantly yet there are only two choices to make. Good or bad. Time only can tell the future. Our mind creates truth but our hands can conceal and change the real meaning. What we take from life we repay or receive. It is better to not run up high credit, one might not be able to repay it. Our mind creates good things, our hands do those things that alter the real meaning,
OUR THUMB The thumb is used to say that "all is OK", 'thumbs-up' signals that an individual has it 'going for' him/her.
THE POINTING FINGER Wow! Does the name not say it all? It tells everyone out there: "get moving or else, I told you so, watch out, I am in charge", and finally "I am perfect, no one knows better than me". Forgetting that you, the fool, forgets yourself and is afraid to ever point a finger at yourself. Well I'm almost always right, I think? The pointing finger is also used to call someone to you, to say: "now or else", to pull the attention towards yourself. "I am here, I need your attention." This curling movement of "come here" this gesture of command "you come or else", enforces that you are the most important. YOU are in charge. The most important individual HE is in charge. Any man who uses this finger is forever seeking attention and will do anything to get that attention, no matter what the consequences. This individual will never master Chinese Wushu. Pride is a major obstacle to overcome, humbleness a difficult skill to learn. To break down and rebuild is the real teaching of Chinese Wushu, and also of life. If you never learn from your mistakes, many mistakes will follow. You will never learn and one day it will be too late.
THE INDEX FINGER OR 'THE REAL BAD ONE' The index finger needs special attention as it is your 'bad' finger. This finger expresses thought and meaning directly and without regret, to whoever it is directed. The gesture and execution of motion by this index finger shows an individual impossible to reason with, you have made up your mind. It follows the intent of your pointing finger, you will execute your conclusion physically, without further ado. Within Chinese martial arts, no person of this caliber could ever learn the art and in life you will always be a looser. A looser is not aware of the fact that he is a looser until he looses and then it is too late. Trusting does not exist for this individual, you only see what you want to, a lack of respect is a trait of your character.
THE COMMITMENT FINGER. The Ring finger commits you to a life shared with someone else. You are able to give part of you to someone you care for. Loyalty is a heavy concept to carry, this is why most people bend this finger even when the hand is doing nothing. Or maybe we are hiding it? Proudly displaying this finger shows that you are a happy sharing individual, free from hardship and anger, truly showing who is your other part. Most humans fear this commitment, especially to oneself. Once you have the guts to become someone you love and like, the rest becomes easy. Self worth become an understatement once you learn to know yourself. Then content to be you, you learn to share without payment, to be loyal. When you accept yourself, life and others exactly as is, when you are not struggling against it you will never be at war with anyone or anything.
THE ALTERNATIVE FINGER The pinkie or small finger. Do we ever use for anything other than sticking it when drinking a cup of tea or coffee? It seems to be a lost part of our hand, we are never quite sure what to do with this finger. What it does seem to do is obstruct the view of the other fingers, trying to get more attention to itself, sticking up, saying "look here I am,notice me, I am available, I'm better than you". It expresses need and throws our insecurities into the open, reflecting the illusion of ignorance, the belief that we are better than everyone else. Within Chinese Wushu dignity and personal acceptance are reflected by this part of your hand.
We can become so blind by glory that it runs our life. It is good to feel on top of our dreams and glory in our achievements but we all need humbleness and modesty. Good things need stillness and vision, preparing us for when things are not so good. Always think first, then your mind will alter the expressions of time. The wiser you grow the wiser all things will grow. Patience is needed to be humble. We shout out loud, two thumbs up, just to attract attention, to tell others we are better than they are. Chinese culture does not have the expression body and mind, they are always at one. Expression of the self is deep within, mostly feared in case of misuse.
The saying goes “a man with big ego looses meaning and sight of his life".
TWO POINTING FINGERS This man has lost so much respect for his fellow man that he can only point away from himself, blaming cursing and demanding with both fingers. He has already lost all self respect. He is too far removed from reality to ever learn, he perceives himself as perfect when all he is a perfect disaster. Lost in his own stubbornness he can not see the changes life offers him or how and when to use them.
TWO BAD FINGERS This gives us more trouble we could ever wish for. We are a expression of our minds, we want to say “up yours “. We do it this out of our own sadness, denial and anger, wasting our lives away. Holding on to bad feelings towards life and our fellow man eats us alive. Saying how we feel may seem to make us feel better but the power of an angry mind prevents a logical explanation. We need the reflected glory of arrogance to succeed, it makes us feel great. Next time try talking to yourself first, then if it is really needed try talking to someone else. Point those fingers at yourself first and see how much you like it, can your emotions handle it. Are you being fair, honest and true, can you face those pointing fingers? The less reason you have to fight your own short-comings, the more meaning your life will acquire, doors will open onto vistas you have never seen before. However, most of us are too afraid to face who we truly are.
TWO COMMITMENTS ? When sharing a life, great effort needs to go into remaining true to yourself. It presents a great challenge with countless obstacles to overcome. When climbing a mountain you need to go up and up, Thinking of descending and trying another mountain will only mean having to abort one effort half way through to have to start another from the beginning. You will never get any better at it. Commitment is holding on for dear life, until one day you reach the top of your mountain, sharing is holding on tight, love tranquility and patience are the rules you follow to succeed. Man don't always see what he has, only that he can have more. This often leads to painful consequences. A student in Chinese Kung-Fu learns the two commitments, OTHERS, then himself. Why? It is simple, others are easy to deal with, yourself takes much longer.
The thumb gives much away by the way it is positioned. Stress gives it a back bend, hiding it between the other four fingers shows fear and lack of confidence, pressing it against other fingers shows tension, insecurity and stress.
The folding of fingers may reflect non-communicating, rejection and distrust.
Our learn how to both hide and reflect our emotions by talking with our fingers. This language becomes so well memorized that our own tools, our fingers, can mislead and misdirect our thoughts working towards furthering our greed and power. Although we use our hands with intend and direction, our fingers give away our true intend. Observe people when they talks to you, their fingers move in a specific way talking silently and directing their thought patterns. Sharing true and false information with you or a group. For example; if a speaker was to deliver a speech watch his/her hands, the fingers will tell if he/she is lying .The small finger will pull away from the hand directing away from the stress caused by this. When the fingers are turned inwards and the nails are hidden the speaker is trying to hide his/her facts or true character and intend from the audience. Both hands facing each other and fingers touching re-assures a thought, intensifies concentration or the ability to argue a topic with clear vision. Why? Because both our hands together gives us a clear mind and provides security within ourselves.
As we grow older we need to realize the importance of our hands and fingers and the silent language we speak with them. We tend to ignore the most important part of ourselves and others, that of human contact. It use to be our language received and remembered SILENTLY. Take a better look at your hands and what they are trying to tell you about yourself. The information received may be scary at first but will help you bring much needed consideration and care not only to your fellow human beings but also to yourself.
The principals of our fingers is quit simple. They respond directly from impulses transmitted by our brain. They tell the truth, load and clear. One can learn how to copy and pretend but real truth one can never run away from. True knowing starts with simply being, simplicity teaches one how to follow the principles of life.

TWO HANDS MAKE TEN FINGERS, TEN MEANINGS
"TWO THUMBS UP, ALL IS JUST TOPS FOR ME!"We can become so blind by glory that it runs our life. It is good to feel on top of our dreams and glory in our achievements but we all need humbleness and modesty. Good things need stillness and vision, preparing us for when things are not so good.

THE COMBINATION AND ALTERNATIVE REACTIONS OF OUR FINGERS
THUMB AND POINTING FINGER All our fingers have uses. These two we eat with it, we also express our greed for money by rubbing both of then together. Thumb and Index are the "snap to it now or else" fingers. Attention is created by the sound, this is an alternative action and therefore one should be alert to it's true meaning.The thumb gives much away by the way it is positioned. Stress gives it a back bend, hiding it between the other four fingers shows fear and lack of confidence, pressing it against other fingers shows tension, insecurity and stress.
The folding of fingers may reflect non-communicating, rejection and distrust.
