Consciousness and Imagery——The Temporal Philosophical Characteristics of the"Movement Imagery"Formation in Yiquan
Each movement imagery of Yiquan has its own temporal domain.For example,the quick temporal flow of a stomping action and the prolonged"playback"of a pull-up have distinctly different temporal philosophical characteristics.The temporal characteristic of Dasein is its presence in the moment,and this presence is the only temporal domain given by the movement imagery of the punch form.This characteristic belongs to intuition,and the sameness of movement imagery is confirmed within this intuition.Continuity presupposes"discontinuity";the stream of discontinuous consciousness makes the specific forms of movement imagery characterized by sameness possible.The reality that supports the concepts of sameness and wholeness is"concreteness,"which is the totality of individuality or the universality of particularity.Universality,while being the negation of individuality,is also the sameness that makes movement imagery uniquely"this one."This one is the conscious content of the entire punch form's movement imagery.The intuitive ability of the practitioner has a clear grasp of the conscious content of movement imagery.This grasp negates the individuality of the punch form in an alienated sense,allowing the conscious content of the formed movement imagery to lead to universality.In universality,individual imagery is generally"moving."Intuitive activities and constructing actions are the practitioner's purposeful"unified actions"that define the sequence of movement imagery,with inherent compositional requirements of regularity.
