Osensei said on a number of occasions that his goal for Aikido was for world peace and universal harmony. It is my view that if people that claim to represent his teachings are in conflict, or founded on conflict with one another, that they are misrepresenting him. I realise that there are various schools of Aikido, three that existed before his death, I am not convinced that they were however in conflict with one another, nor started as a result of conflict. To my way of thinking, Reconciliation is evidence of taking OSensei at his word and beginning with yourself first. To attempt to teach Aikido whilst having negativity and conflict with your former Aikidoka seems a misnomer to me.
