      See the both ends of humanity, remember what he said, life is an act of acting and unacting, be natural and unnatural simultaneously.flow like water with good people, crush em if they'r bad.

    His "Be water" concept is very meaningful. I heard somewhere that he found this ideology when training with his master Ip man, he used to train punching water but he realized how many times he punched it, it won't break. Water adapts to the thing it is poured into, just like we must adapt to our living conditions whether it's good or bad and find something to improvise. Water is weak, but with persistence it can break rocks(river water) just like us, with persistence we can finally do what we thought impossible. Great motivation 👍

    His first words bring the most insight into his meaning for me. "Empty your mind". He's saying to lose the illusion of the "Self". Once you are no longer an Ego-self you can observe every situation without judgment and become it in the present moment. "Be formless, Shapeless".
    I actually came here because I just realized this. It would be no surprise to learn that Bruce Lee was in to meditation.

      The metaphor is that instead of trying to fight reality, you have flow with reality.
      Once you accept the situation you are in and you will start to thinking in solutions, rather than thinking in problems. People who don't accept reality tend to cling to their problems one way or another.

    Here's my take:
    Empty your mind - Get rid of all distractions and focus. Listen
    Be formless, shapeless - don't be rigid and tense. Easily knocked over.
    Water takes the form of its container - Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
    Water can flow and it can crash - Yin and yang. Soft and hard. Gentle and strong.
    Be water, my friend - Be water, my friend

    It’s crazy how I only felt clear about the idea of adaption, but upon meditating this morning, the idea of water hit me when i realize, meditation allows the mind to let go, to detach from the false reality that sticks on to us, to watch it go like a cloud. Then it hit me...
    Everyone in a way contains the substance he terms “emotional content” (uses this term alot in his philosophy) I feel this same idea when he talks about water, water is our emotional content (our thoughts, emotions, our being, values, beliefs, experiences, perceptions etc).... Water is like our emotional content because, it can shaped by the cup, the bottle, the teapot (how our perceptions are shaped by our will or experiences) another important thing is to understand that emotional content is expressed through our mode of being and through our actions. Bruce Lee once said, “you will continue to suffer if you have a emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. IIf words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breath and allow things to pass” this is a good example for the feeling or emotion of “Anger” one reaction to anger can be aggression and by that we allow that water to react and crash and we may decide to attack the person causing us that anger, causing destruction and harm to one’s our harmony.
    Thus we must be adaptable, yes, we also must not hold onto any particular conditioned belief before looking at it through logic and intuition. To allow our emotional content is like shaping water in a mould. Water can be shaped the way we will it to... We can the shapers of that, the adaptors.
    To empty our minds is to allow the past and future to let go, to let that bitch who cut us off in the high way, that friend who hurt us, your siblings who are fighting, the belief you defines you as a person, the fears and the toxic values that keep you trapped. All of those things, are like dirty water, old water, overflowing in our cups/bottle/teapot... like the old zen analogy, simply... EMPTY YOUR CUP... and start a new... “empty your mind” When you are empty, you have room for new water (lessons in life) rinse and repeat... you can’t truly learn if you hold onto old beliefs.
    WHen we are shapeless and formless (that’s reference to Consciousness - our will and spirit)
