In self-defense an ELEVATION of level, as in a throw, changes an opponents attack from a grounded, powerful push, pull or grab into a compromised, unstable and fully redirected catapult of the attacker’s body to the hard earth.
Additionally in battle, ELEVATION gives high ground perspective in a firefight putting lower level opponents at a severe disadvantage as ELEVATED positions of shooters have access to rein down deadly accurate shots on unprotected positions.
Today in our examination of Life Defense we will see how ELEVATION of thought gives defenders an extreme advantage in the battle of life.
Perspective can make all the difference. When I only see tall buildings or rocky cliffs around me, the danger crouched atop these positions can end in deadly, unprotected chaos.
However, switch the position either physically, or in my mind and this ELEVATED position reverses the outcome.
When I spend my days wrapped in what the media tells me to believe, or social media friends directed by that media, filtered by the platform management, and fueled by unseen agendas tells me to believe, I have no ELEVATED vision and my perspective is compromised.
I am at risk. When distracted by my work, my family issues, or life itself, I loose the high ground I cannot hope to see the ambush awaiting me from above.
It is at this time that an ELEVATED perspective refocuses my vision and I oversee the true battle laid out before me.
How do I attain and maintain this position? First I must disrupt my thinking, take a cold shower, fast for a day or change my environment. Then look, listen and feel what is actually happening and immediately put myself into action.
Truth be told there is an extreme pull toward not seeing and maintaining a simple lower level perspective. It takes effort to climb up the rock face, and wait, and more effort to maintain that vantage point.
However, it’s worth it! ELEVATE!
