If you haven't already, you might want to have a look at Saotome Sensei's new book. He talks about these ideas in a fair amount of detail.

In particular, would you describe the calm surface of a mountain lake as "invincible?" Or are the concepts of "victory" and "defeat" simply irrelevant to it?

Thank you, Katherine! I'm looking forward to getting his book! One of his earlier books played a big part in generating my initial interest in Aikido and this one sounds very promising to add to my current interest.
...And I would guess the concepts are irrelevant. Did I win?

Gambarimashyo!
