Re: Aikido and the Floating Bridge of Heaven
Standing on the Bridge = something different but a concrete internal concept.
Izanagi/Izanami = another concrete internal concept.
Why do we think breath = breath? or chanting?
If you have contradictory forces going in a spiral and you reverse them ... don't you get a sort of in/out motion. Not literally in/out, mind you, but think of breath. Breathing in is one way, breathing out is the opposite. Contradictory forces going one way and then reversing them going the opposite. You are enacting with breath the spiral contradictory forces entwined with ki. And there, at the infinite point where the breath actually changes, where contradictory forces are reversed, is the center of the Universe. The creation of aiki.
