Re: Is It Missing In Everybody's Aikido?

Shaun,

I'm all for a meeting when I can manage it. I'm hoping for sometime next Spring. It will certainly be interesting comparing levels, approaches, and exchanging info in person. I've been the uke while Gleason sensei chanted kotodama as he threw me. I have sounds identified feelings in my body. I'm very excited to see where this kind of research goes as our levels of understanding in physical universal principles increases by leaps and bounds.

If a big sensei shows up to my place, I'll be nice to them and all, but I'm not into worshiping anyone. I don't want to be put on a pedestal and I certainly do not think it is kind or helpful to put that kind of pressure on anyone else. Now, I suppose if O-sensei showed up, I admit I would do a bit more kissing up because I would want to know about how he came back and what it was like while he was gone.

Rob
