2. If one can perform any action while in the state of being (aiki), why do we not demonstrate aiki in everything we do?
I believe Saotome Sensei, for example, would say that he *does* demonstrate aiki in everything he does.

Similarly, one proposed technical basis for achieving kuzushi on contact is that uke is making contact with a pre-existing "aiki" state, and is swept along by it.
