ORIGI OF NRPH-TR-li

To fully understand the art of Naph-ta-li, the student must grasp thehistorical concepts (Origin) and internalize them (Spirituality).

llITlJJUUl.tI.l

The Bible creatively interprets the story of Jacob's encounter with the ArchAngel Chama-el. This Naph-ta-li manualperceives that biblical lore andconvey the lessons to this generation. It shows how that event in Jacob's lifepertains to tis today. The relevance of this ancient tale, its teachings, symbols,

and meanings can place our knowledge of God and our trust in God on acosmic magnitude.

Exploration of this event is the essence of victory over ourselves. First, wewill struggle with ourselves before finding our true selves. Thisenlightenment enables us to claim all life's happiness. Second, this event isthe essence of victory over our life. We must struggle with life (job trouble,financial burdens, social situations, etc.) before we settle ourselves into life.

This provides the power to claim victory over an adversity. Third, this event

proclaims victory over those adversities. (We must face an adversary beforewe can the defeat that adversary and claim victory.)

The student must read again the episode of Jacob at Peni-el to open new

horizons and to realize its impact on the student's life. Jacob needed to beprovoked into action to justify his place in history. All the student must do isread this book and choose a course of action. One should not say that hebelieves in spiritual warfare. One should read, examine, and then becomeenveloped in believing. One demonstrates this in his every action.

Reasonable Grounds/Probable Cause

Introduction To:

An understanding of reasonable grounds/probable cause is

essential to the successful martial artist. This study note is

designed to give you a fuller understanding of the meaning ofthe basic concept of reasonable grounds/probable cause as it

applies to the martial artist. It outlines the legal definition

of reasonable grounds/probable cause as it is established by

the courts, the quality of evidence needed to establish a self-

defense and the importance of training aondexperience.

The instructor may wish to include hypothetical examples

of reasonable grounds/probable cause likely to arise in the oourse

of your actions as a martial artist.

In today's climate of increased awareness of indi~idual

civil rights, f~ilure on the part of a martial artist to recogniz~all of the factors involved in establishing reasonable grounds/

probable cause could expose the martial artist and his/her school

to a ci vi 1 sui t for damages, and also could beg in an criminal

process against the defender.

Defined:

Reasonable grounds/probable cause for self-defense is defined

as a combination of threat or apparent threat, which would lead

a person of reasonable caution, to believe that an attack is about

to be committed.

standard is governed by the circumstances, facts or apparentfacts of each case.

Extreme Urgency:

The courts have

of

held that self-defense is only justified

"extreme urgency". This is defined as aunder conditions

situation requiring swift action to avoid serious or grave bodily

harm or the loss of life and where there is not sufficient time

to get away. The time factor is very important and the claim

of an extraordinary emergency must be supported by sufficient

facts or apparent facts as they appeared a t- the-scene. As a

citizen, acting in an emergency in the defense of his/her life,

person or property he/she wi11 be judged on"those circumstances,

facts or apparent facts as find at-the-scene, regardless of

whether or not they are actually true.

If you have a reasonable suspicion that an individual is

about to commit serious or grave bodily harm upon you, you have

the right to protect yourself. You must have reasonable grounds/

probable cause for your belief that this individual, whom you

are ready to defend against, is about to commit a grave crime

against you.

There's No Substitute for Training and Experience:

As you progress in your martial arts training, you will

gradually begin to get the feel of what constitutes reasonable

grounds/probable cause. A good deal of it depends on the alertness

,r-

think is an "airtight" case, as a matter of good procedure for

your protection, you should sti11 make an effort to come up with

as many facts as you can about the situation. If you have

sufficiently detailed facts, backed up by credible witnesses,

that is enough to establish a good reasonable grounds/probable

cause defense.

The basic idea underlying reasonable grounds/probable cause is

that a martial artist have considerable discretion and power

in the use of their techniques, therefore they are to be exercised

within recognized legal boundaries. Martial artist are

expected to use everyday COmmOJl sense in the use of their

techniques while defending themselves.

Jacob had to wrestle with the Angel of the Lord to find himself and know his

place with God. (One must struggle with life and its problems to find one'sself and his place with God.) Jacob started his match in darkness and finishedwith victory in light. (Likewise, the student starts life in darkness, but willfinish with victory in the light of the Lord.) Jacob had to come out of himself

(his reason, his wilt etc.) in order to surpass himself, becoming Isra-el.

(Similarly, the student must surpass himself to claim the blessings of Israel.)

NOTE: Israel symbolizes struggle, endurance, and victory.

In the face of adversity, Jacob's strength is named Israel. In the face ofadversity, Israel's strength is named Naph-ta-li. Israel erased the fearful, weakJacob, allowing him access to the most secret of sanctuaries and to behold the

most luminous of beings.

Naph-ta-li will teach us strength, realization, and resolution. These three

skills enable us to defeat our problems and foes, meanwhile commanding therespect of man and angel.

The knowledge of God and one's encounter with Him compares to the RiverJabbok. The River Jabbok symbolizes a crossroad; on one side of the river youstruggle with your life, or belief in God, your fear of man, etc., etc. You must

first endure the struggle. While enduring the struggle, you must call uponthe blessing of God. You must recognize and claim the blessing, and thenrelease the problem to God. You can now freely move on with your life. Withthese steps, God will bless you and allow you to cross over into His

knowledge, protection, and victory. Though you struggle as a Jacob, you willcross over as an Israel.

This book has a vast range of implications and profound concepts.Understanding of this book will open the student's life to many newexperiences. The student must tell himself, "I will claim victory over mylife."
