Could it be that Osensei means that we are all Aikido? Could he mean that we all must have that attitude? Not being arrogant, but it's probably something like, "I think therefore I am."
Aikido could not exist by itself, it needs sometype of entity to channel it, in this case humans.
I believe many people probably perceive that as arrogance. I believe it's actually a saying for people to grow beyond forms and techniques.
Forms and techniques could be written and drawn in a book but Aikido could not.
