Sure - and yet you're still speaking as if we're talking about the same thing...

Fortunately for Mary and me, Maruyama sensei spent much of his teaching time with us hammering home the idea that Aikido was first and foremost about developing mind/body coordination to realize correct feeling (what, I suppose, you folks refer to as internal power).

I think that the bulk of the folks on this thread are talking about Dan-type internal training - if you agree that you're doing something else then the statements above are just confusing.
If you're using those terms to mean something else, that's fine, but it would be easier if you didn't bring them into this context without making that clear.
FWIW...
Best,
