In martial arts it is best to expand when blocking and contract when striking (sounds wrong but it is right, hard to explain in the written word)...so maybe he meant that when your 'opponent' is blocking you should be striking and when he is striking you should be blocking.
Who or what is the opponent though, and what is a strike, and what is a block? _________________
Externally you view your opponent (that which you are fighting) as being something other than yourself, but if there is no internal and external, you are fighting a part of yourself.
Hence as one part of you expands, another part contracts.
Yes and no (Bl**dy semantics again). To expand your awareness is to be aware of more of what you do not perceive to be yourself. and so where does a person start / finish?

Take a step up the ladder. This will happen to you many times through life, a moment of realization, an 'ahhh' moment. The belts in martial arts (at least some of them) reflect the physical 'ahhh' moments, but they do also reflect the mental...sometimes you have these and don't receive a belt, sometimes you receive a belt without them, they can happen anytime.
