On the Threshold of the Mystery

Masters can develop powers after years of training, this could involve chi or Ki the great Aikido master Morihei Ueshiba was one on these masters, those powers were rarely used in real situations. He was able to sense danger before it happened and even manipulate time. He once accepted a challenge from an armed expert with a wooden sword and he was unarmed. Using only his body he evaded every attack, eventually his attacker ran out of energy.

There are many witnesses to those feats and these abilities were build up by years of development and training.

Short Wisdom

I have just assembled a few quotations from this book to give you a taste of the wisdom within the pages, some of those are my own personal favourites,

Of course the real wisdom is embedded within those stories in all the chapters, stories which have been passed down through the years, centuries etc

1. With one end of his bow The archer pierces heaven. With the other, he penetrates the earth. Stretched between the two, The bowstring hurls the arrow Into the heart of both the visible and invisible target.

2. As long as you are incapable of going beyond the mountain, it is impossible to attain the Way.

3. When the eagle attacks, he dives without extending his wings. When the tiger is about to leap on his prey, he crawls with his ears laid back. By the same token, when a sage is on the point of acting, no one can sense it.

4. To the ignorant, a precious stone looks like a simple pebble.

5. Benearth the sword raised high Hell makes you tremble But by confronting it You discover the land of bliss.

6. Water opposes no one. And therefore it cannot be confronted. Water gives way to the knife without being cut; It is invulnerable because it doesn, t resist.
