Ellis makes a distinction between the "electrical shock" effects of early Ueshiba's art (refers to Mongolia) and later account of people being "lead into a void". This with the underlying thought that these effects on people are to be considered fundamentally different.

Mike, in a very early post, you dismissed this thought of Ellis. Could you explain the grounds why you do not consider these outcomes Ueshiba had on people different, and consider them to be part of one and the same skill set?

And the other way around. Ellis, could you be more explicit as to why you believe the underlying skills have to be fundamentally different?
