“Krishna says meditate and you'll see the various ephemeral worlds, the various ephemeral beings, all of them going through the same thing; some are rich, some are poor, some are more knowledgeable, some are less knowledgeable - in countless myriad universes, forever.” WorldUniversePoorForeverRichVariousHinduismKrishnaEphemeralKnowledgeable Author:Frederick Lenz
“Aiki is the way of the Kami and was born of the will of the Kami. Rise early in the morning to greet the sun. Inhale the breath of heaven and let the cosmos inside. Next breath up the rich vibrance of the earth. Blend these breaths with your own breath and become the breath of life itself. Your mind and body will be gladdened, heartache and disappointment will dissipate and you will be filled with gratitude. The movements of Aikido which unite human being with great nature are all given by Sarutahiko-no-O-Kami. Aikido is Misogi..a purification of ourselves...the way of the universe.” WayMindHumansBodyEarthUniverseNextGivenHeavenBornHuman BeingsMorningSunRichMovementGratitudeHarmonyBreathsFilledDisappointmentHeartacheCosmosMind And BodyInhalePurificationAikido Author:Morihei Ueshiba
