	<title><![CDATA[Thoughts on Ki]]></title>
	<body><![CDATA[The prospect of developing my life force has me excited and intrigued.  I feel joy, that through the cultivation of Ki from a position of postivity and love for all of life, I will be able to elevate myself to a higher a plane of thought and mortal existance.  Consequently, I will be able to bring peace and love to all those in contact with me.  
As a beginner in Kokikai, Ki is stressed as fulcrum in which all of Aikido, as well as life, revolves.  I feel that they do teach to beginners as though we are all starting from the same level of exposure to non-western philosophies.  Because of this I will want to do more Ki cultivation through my own devices.
This web site as well as others will be be main resouces.  When i have enough money i will invest in Sensei Tohei's Books.
I am exited to begin this journey ]]></body>
