Funny thing is I say to people who take drugs that everyone is looking to feel good, to feel better, to feel at peace and happy within themselves. The truth of this is that everyone is thus trying to be spiritual. Thus drugs give that momentary spiritual feeling, that high. But alas it's via a physical means. Heavy training, alcohol, drugs, all physical means of trying to feel spiritually well in self. Irresponsibility. Just be your spiritual self and depend on nothing else. Ha, ha. Regards.G. |

First "build up" yourself so you can build up your household, neighborhood, nation, and the world. I don't suppose it's a strict hierarchy where one can never work on helping the world "improve" until they've improved themselves, but as a general rule of thumb I agree with the idea. I'm simply not in much of a position to help others until I've worked on myself to some useful degree. |

Ueshiba's ...er....enlightenment quickly followed, where curiously, he talked often about aiki. Where he started saying that aiki informed religion, where the word aiki...started to appear everywhere in his dialogue.....curiously, for some strange reason. As we no know ( and there is more to come) over the following years, he was actively talking about all of the foundational work to internal power that apparently no one knew how to translate, for some strange reason. Things that were apparently peppered through out his lectures and in class; Intent Heaven/ earth/ man Breath power training Six direction awareness Strength through opposing power In yo ho The mystery of aiki revealed in Dual spirals as an expression. Even him bringing in Anatomy drawings to explain esoteric discussions of the Kojiki. All to a dissinterested and unknowing audience who self admittedly didn't care. You know....all the stuff that made it sound like he was on aikiweb 90 years later...arguing with those who were still, clearly doing something other than his art! ;) Sound familiar? Dan |

I have been told by my own teacher that the acqusition of awareness involves acquisition of 10 directional eyes.The Kojiki is not quite a short novel. Can you give details of volume /pages you feel are relevant to this discussion?I am sure you would be anxious to let our readers know the basis of your assertions.May I also state that as yet you have not responded to my blog regrrding Birankai teachers you instruct?Cheers, Joe Ps Feel free to express your understanding of yin yang/heaven /earth /man. |

Re: Ueshiba's Golden Lights
The world is now full of more enlightened people than ever before. People who are on the cutting edge of creation. Enlightenment needn't be treated like a big deal any longer. It' s something that's quite attainable - even becoming common.
Ueshiba was no more special than someone like Greg Noll. And in fact, it could be argued that Noll was more original, more creative, and played with much more power than Ueshiba. Surfers don't bow to pictures of Noll. And surfers don't put Noll up on some high unattainable mountain. And there are many many surfers that have taken it further than Noll ever dreamed. And they've done that by looking inward, and looking forward. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Noll What Ueshiba did - and more - is accessible to anyone. |

In reagard to Eric's first question in the OP:
Do you think the idea of fudochi, applied to this situation, bridges the gap between these elements? |

He had his day...but he looks kind of old in the later day...was he still out riding those monsters at 60, 70 years old? Ueshiba was still doing his thing until 85, when he died. So...we might say it's relative.... Noll still shapes boards, which has been his business for a long time, but I don't think he gets out (or got out) on those big waves in his older years. David |
