  I am so sorry but I will have to miss today's show. My dad is "still" recovering from surgery and my mom needs me for support. I am so disappointed that the day turned out this way. I was so looking forward to sharing and discussing vital info with you and your listeners. Please advise them on my behalf that I will make it worth their while to listen in next time. I am sure they will understand as family issues arise unexpectedly.
  
  Thank You Rama I am ready any other day, if you want to do it tomorrow or even 9pm tonight let me know I will check my email as soon as I get home.

   Gary's next book's (title to be announced when released in April) content expresses from the focal point and substance of Wisdom through poetry Nuggets of Truth for seekers on the path. 
  
  "The purpose of this book is to provide the seeker with direction and encouragement on their journey to unravel the scattered truth. Truth is found outside of the fix format.  Found not in an attractive package but one dusty nugget at a time." Sifu Gary Jones Harris
  
  Here are a couple of excerpts, between the lines,  to, uhmm, 'wrap YOUR mind around:'

  Dine Sublime
  
  Can you see them, can you see the signs.
  You can see them in movies, commercials, and daily life, but the best way is to research ancient times.
  Rest assured what you uncover will come under fire by cynical minds.
  The word (the sword of the spirit that is) I find confirms and is supported by history of all kinds.
  People, places, times, events, cultures, and civilizations, are all encoded within the lines.
  So..., let the cynics remain with their thoughts maintained.
  On historical truth I encourage you to dine.
  Historical truth is sublime.
  Forward vision is incomplete hindsight is where past and present meet.
  Our society is now... however, true awareness occurs when one questions what was then?
  Or what happen when?
  Not just what's happening now?
  So I encourage you, dine sublime, and look behind, what's behind always escapes the mind.    
  
  Coincidence or Intent?  
  
  Coincidence or intent
  You must not be content
  To accept that nature's advance
  Has occurred simply by chance
  Now there's no better example I can find
  That supports the concept of design
  Of all the details that exist
  The most peculiar for me is photosynthesis
  Through no help of ours trees and plants
  Make food from the sun
  As a result, producing food for everyone
  Another fact that's pushed to the side Is how plants take in and we exhale
  Carbon Dioxide
  Once again as mankind's friend
  They give off and we Inhale oxygen
  A better balance who can invent?
  Now there's a question of fact exact
  A better balance who can invent?
  hmmm?
  Yes indeed
  Intent
  Intent

  Sifu Gary: "I currently have 18 years in the martial arts. I began breaking away from tradition after the 1st 9 years.  My foundation in the martial arts is Shotokan, Kickboxing, Wing Chun, San Shou Chinese Wrestling, Thai Boxing, JKD-Bruce Lee's fighting method, and Jui Jitsu.  One day after building a training dummy I simply began to create as I created I wrote as I wrote I tested what I was creating by demonstration, and sparring weeks became months and months became years.  I knew that what I had was very formidable.  
  
  Before I Knew it 7 years had passed and I had an original 7 phase self defense system covering all phases of fighting in a binder about 4 inches thick with a class of eager and very proficient students.  Moreover for a 6-year period I also devoted myself to the study of the Bible, development, psychology, philosophy, and an intense amount of focus on spiritual (biblical) wisdom.
  
  Throughout this 6-year period (because of the friends in my life at the time and my close relationship with GOD) I was able to devote myself to Celibacy.  I let go of many non-essential things, which gave me a mental and spiritual perspective that allows me now to be nearly immune to trends, styles, fads, and other material manipulation.  I learned the most valuable lessons of my life during this period. The 1st is that there is one GOD (the almighty) and only one way to achieve a relationship with him and that is through his son.  The 2nd is fighting against a physical opponent is easy as in a tournament or competition. However the unseen is quite a different animal.  I find the words of Aristotle appropriate when he said "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is the victory over self." This concept is extremely evident throughout the bible especially in Eph. 6:10.  
  
  To sum it all up, martial arts have taken on a very profound meaning to me. My self defense system in particular. The intense studying, the repetition of kicks, punches, combinations, blocks, take downs, sparring, meditation, and various other training sessions all have become my outer expression of the inner battle. The precision, explosiveness, and thoroughness of the technique outwardly should mirror what's within. My most advanced students begin to recognize these things without me even mentioning GOD or the bible it's really remarkable what GOD has done through me, the word utensil comes to mind."

  *[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  Sifu (師傅 or 師父; Pinyin: shīfu, Cantonese: si1 fu6) is a Chinese term for a teacher. The character 師 means “teacher”. The meaning of 傅 is “tutor” and of 父 “father”, both characters are read fu with the same tones in Cantonese and Mandarin, creating some ambiguity. A similar term often used in the Mandarin north is 老師 lǎo shī (Cantonese lou5 si1), "elder teacher".

  
  Contextually, sifu is used in a familial manner as a child addressing a parent by the description "father", rather than a self referenced title seen in modern slang usage. It is also commonly used in a martial arts context to denote an instructional relationship.]
