Click on the little box in the lower right-hand corner of a post. Edit to suit. If you need secondary boxes, it's easy to form the HTML code with square brackets, and "QUOTE" in the first one, "/QUOTE" in the closing one.

Well from looking at the development of this thread, it seems that the discussion lays with its process, i.e. some form of path either mental and/or physical needed to deal with the reality of a push. My opinion is both have to be present.
Here is my thought at a possible explanation. Using the Chinese model of the micro/macro cosmic orbit is a simple and workable model for basic path relationships (up and down); understand I do not mean to imply it is limited or restricted only to this. As far as I can tell it seems that the "mind" is used largely in two ways:
1) the mind consciously adjusts the structure, "bones" for lack of a better word, and the musculature, i.e. creating a structure that is efficient in form, connected,and balanced.
2) again it seems that the mind acts consciously as a receptive control point moving (i.e. motor control typically left to the unconscious aspect of the mind) the incoming vectors along the prescribed paths, in this case into the ground.
It seems that in this case solidity comes not from pushing on a "strong" individual, which may be the case, but rather you are pushing into the ground, i.e. the individual simply acts as a conduit.

Perfect. Actually, we use these "paths" every day, all the time, in minor ways as we push, pull, resist acceleration, etc. This is a specialized and deliberate use of a trick the body has in its repertoire; it is also often shifted into a very sophisticated version of the trick (i.e., like any skill, higher levels of usage can look almost magical). There is also a component of allowing the subconscious to meld into the trick so that the power increases. But basically, you stated it pretty well.
