Dan, please, give credit to someone. Toheis model was obviously spiritual and saying it wasn't and indeed saying it wasn't his is a bit incredulous really. Only validates to me that you can't really know that much about it
obviously? He was pretty clear that one of the big differences between what he did and what Ueshiba did was that his approach cut out all the spiritual mumbo-jumbo. If you want to go on and consider ki some spiritual thing and not physical, then I guess you can do that, but you're going to have to give some citations to support that. I also have a few of his early books and I don't recall much in them to support what you're saying, but I'm open to the possibility if you have it.
