Knowing that gravity is based on mass and affects the locations and movement of objects, then what about the fact that both location and movement are always relative? So is it possible for the force of gravity to be any more ablosute than that? Isn't the distorting of space-time merely a direction among others, and could one therefore be able to have control over it? We are also to remember the none-existent nature of existence, that meaning not only phenomena but matter as well. Seeking the very core of a particle, can anything but nothingness be ultimately found?
Let us think of a real-life situation, combat in this case. Any hold or strike means directing energy to the target, pressure that is. For example, if the opponent grabs your wrist you can of course try to release yourself by moving the wrist, which means struggle: strength against strength. In a constant situation this would be like fighting gravity; you can jump, but no matter how high you go you will come down. Force is the obstacle. Then again, abandoning force would be like freeing yourself of the gravitational pull. You can choose to let the wrist stay where it is and move the elbow instead, to a direction where there is no obstacle. Not only creates this leverage which makes it impossible for the opponent to prevent you from moving but also causes your defence and counter-attack to be simultaneous: with the first reaction you are already "half-way there".
It has been said in philosophy that everything flows. I for my part would say that, to begin with, everything floats, which on the other hand makes the flow possible. Speaking of combat, what is often told of monks having mystical skills is seldom told of "ordinary" soldiers. The duality lies there as well; to be warrior is to be sage. The truth cannot be cut in half.
