Re: Ode to be a Mystic...

I stumbled across a thread on another forum regarding something called "Kuji-in" (www.kujiin.com), the poster was flamed of course but curiousity got the best of me and I started doing a web search on this topic. After a couple of hours or reading and links, it lead to even more questions...that damn internet.

The author claims esoteric skills associated with Taoist, Taiji, Ninjitsu, Bhuddist and even Kabbalic mysticism....I'm fascinated by mysticism or mystics (O Sensei) yet very skeptical.

So with that being said, I was wondering if anyone on the forum has chosen to explore this side of martial thought, deep meditations, or awareness training? If so what kind of results have you had? Physically or mentally? Any recommended readings or teachers?

This is an earnest inquiry and I'm hoping not to get ripped to shreds by those of you who disapprove.

Thanks in advance,

I'm not sure how my sensei would classify it, but he being a Shinto priest adds a certain mystical quality to our training for those who are so inclined. check out Tsubakishrine.com. I'll try to think about it and write more later when I have more time.

Gambarimashyo!
