The Center has no beginning

There is nothing far from the center. The center is in the universe, it has no end, no beginning, does not go forward, does not go backwards. But its movement is constant, it moves in every direction, and all directions come and go from it.

The center has no beginning and it does not have end either. Do not search for it, do not find it, do not take it, do not leave it. You only have to flow and it will be there.

The Art of Flowing

Those warriors are fierce, clinging to their weapons and their pride. But the old man in front of them do not have any weapon and his calm is his strength.
The warriors attacked with fast, violent and aggressive movements. The old man seemed not to get around, everyone thought that he would be defeated. After a few seconds the fierce warriors have been defeated, the old man remains calm, the warriors will never get up .
How did the old man win? How did the warriors lost? They asked the old man: " What techniques did you use?"
The old man smiled and said: " No techniques."
"But how can this be?" They insisted
And the old man answered: " Techniques are used only at the beginning of the game but then, the forms disappear, the combat disappears, everything turns silent, the battle is finished." And they asked one more question: " Where is your strength?"
And he only said: " In the wind." And then left.
And I asked myself: " What happened to the warriors? Why they did not survive?"
And the answer is :" The Art of the Wind is united to the Art of the Water, it is powerful as Fire but even more powerful than Fire.

Healing the Earth

Q: How can we heal the Earth?
A: The human being must understand that he is not the owner , that he is one more inhabitant of the Earth . And it is very true that "there is greater responsibility with greater intelligence." The Earth does not need as much healing , as man does , because of his arrogance and selfishness.

The Whole Universe

The spiritual life is not only a personal path, it is also and in addition, the power to discover a great universal family. Because our brother is: every man, the world. And the whole universe. Since, we recognize that Love unites us all in one heart.

The Real Goals

Work and discipline begin in our thought and heart, then as it is natural, the body obeys and the skill is achieved that always should be humble, because if we would spoil it by being arrogant, then, it would become an obstacle that would prevent us from reaching the real goals

Is Ki the result of Good Intention?

What is Ki? Is it the result of good intention? No, is more than that. Ki appears when truth is expressed with strength, as action, as harmony. That is the reason that Ki is naturally present in the whole Nature, which has order and movement.

The Art of Flowing

The inner art has to do with the flowing of Nature. And it is accomplished by adapting and uniting to her.

The Still Mind

When the mind is calm, it does not mean that it is still. It means that it is flowing in the universe.

The Perfect Circle

The movement is complete only when it has the same flexibility than a perfect circle. Where there is no conflict neither in its beginning nor in its end.

There is no end. There is no beginning. It only flows.

Ki is...

Ki is always fresh, abundant and resplendent.
Ki is always honorable, splendorous, courageous and specially worthy.
Ki is always favorable because it brings abundance.
Ki is always generous because it naturally rests on Peace.

Narration

In the town of this narration there were learned students and practitioners of martial arts, who besides practicing and having friendly combats, also had dialogues trying to find explanations that better could define the most important force of the martial arts. The turn came to explain something that seems impossible to define. What is Ki?

A contest was set for that purpose and there were very knowledgeable persons. One of them said: "Ki is the inner force" While another said: " Ki is the universal force" And another was saying " With Ki, everything, without Ki, nothing" Another persons were talking about breathing, concentration, mysteries and equilibrium. While others were saying that it can't be defined, that is as an ocean that flows with infinite waves.

And they all together, concluded that all their explanations could be part of the same fundamental essence. And maybe as a natural reflection, they all looked at the older person. And one of them addressed him directly and with great respect, asked him: " Sir, because of your age, you are probably the one who knows the most since you easily double or triple the age of many of the persons here. Please tell us, what is Ki?"

And it was as the sun awakening in the morning, that old man who seemed to be sleeping, awoke as the bud of the flower, happily receiving the light of the sun. And he said: " Ki is like the child who is born. It is a tree that grows. The bird starting to fly. The sky full of stars. The voice of the plentiful river. And it is even the sleep of the bear. It is the tender hand of the mother. The discipline of the father who honors justice and truth. Ki is man and nature. It is the perfect science of certainty and as there was a yesterday, and today is now, then, Ki will continue tomorrow, as the eternal daybreak."

Then, they all understood that Ki is mother, father, son. That it is human and is not human. Ki is then, the brightness of Divine Breath.

The Concept of Ki

To understand the concept of Ki, is necessary to contemplate Nature and to discover the harmony and equilibrium. Because that is Ki.

The Path of Aikido

Several learned students asked their mentor: "Sir, can you please explain to us in an easy understandable way, neither too metaphysical nor spiritual because our minds do not have the necessary training but we have the interest and would like to really know what is Ki."

Because there is too much mystery involved and too many definitions that do not clearly define. It is true that this is a profound topic and besides we do not want to understand it one hundred percent but at least some light that can free us of the confusion."

They spoke in that way to their mentor, who replied: "The understanding of Ki comes of two forces that are in contradiction: Calm and Movement. Nevertheless, this contradiction is only apparent. Since a serene mind may have a strong, really powerful, agile and dynamic body. But this does not happen by chance but by having lived with order and the consequence of that order is balance and as such, the opposites have been able to balance. It is a natural fact that many variables exist in the thought of the reason and also in the expression of the body.

For a better understanding. When there is discipline and it is worthy and noble, the understanding of Ki appears but what first must be understood is that Ki is an ideal strength in the ideal human being. And this is the one who has respect for life and as a consequence, he has taken an step, he has looked up to heaven. And from that step, clear and clean water has sprang forth which is good to drink. And in that heaven, he has found contemplation, expansion and harmony. And it is there where Ki begins to manifest.

Man, then, has understood that between heaven and earth and earth and heaven, there is a primordial principle. And from there, he has begun to understand that there must be balance and equilibrium in life.The way to this equilibrium is the way of Ki, the way of glory, the path of Aikido, where man is brother of the mountains, companion of the skies and absolutely one with eternity.This may seem too physiological or contemplative but it begins by noticing your breath, calming your thoughts, but also by been vigilant and attentive with your inner calm.Ki is the equilibrium of everything in existence and it will become present in your heart and your life.

Then, what is Ki? Is it the result of good intention? No, is more than that. Ki appears when truth is expressed with strength, as action, as harmony. That is the reason that Ki is naturally present in the whole Nature, which has order and movement.

Notice, how the wind flows, feel it. How the bird flies in the wind and the space. How the bird comes back to its nest. How the large bird flies. Notice how the foam of the sea comes softly to the shore and although gigantic and explosive, the foam is delicate and abundant. Listen to the wind in the sea. Is it possible to separate them? Notice how the wood burns in the fire, notice how the fire becomes wood and how the wood becomes fire.

And by contemplating Nature in that way and by self contemplation, you will see that the universe is not separated but united like a little stone tied to a mountain, like a drop of water in the ocean.

Who are you, the drop or the ocean? Where are the limits? Where is the beginning? Where is the end? Now, take this to reflection, go through and cut these words with discernment.
Live the moment. Discover yourself. Discover the truth without veil.
Ki flows eternally, eternally flows."

The Martial Arts Practitioner

A Martial Arts practitioner decided to seek answers to the mysteries of Ki. He went out looking for experts and teachers and he certainly found very powerful individuals, men and women, who could break large blocks of stone, others could levitate, others could fight to perfection with the eyes closed, others could submerge under the sea and stay for hours and hours.But these people told him that they knew about a person much stronger than them, who lived at the top of a very steep and cold mountain.

He got ready and tried to ascend the mountain but after a short time, he would descend because he did not have strength nor resistence.Nevertheless, he tried one and many times, but he would always had to descend. He was a persistent person and prepared himself for a year, by that time, he had developed a lot of strength, but could not pass half of the distance necessary to climb the mountain.

He insisted and kept preparing himself, ten years passed, in which he could ascend more but still he was very far from the top of the mountain. Twenty years passed and then, he could ascend to the top of the mountain.But oh surprise! The mountain was like an ice floe where nothing was growing. And the curious thing was that in contrast, the climate up there was absolutely spring time with flowers and fruits. It was most unusual, because there were even butterflies. And when he was wondering whether he had died and was in heaven, a very calmed mild voice greeted him. and he -without even noticing- answered. Then, that mild voice started to talk to him about things that were happening in the near towns, he seemed to be very well informed. And the persistent seeker asked: " Who are you?"

The man said: " I am a humble poet who lives here, retired and enamored as I am , of this distant wind that here in the top of the mountain, is much better perceived in its natural flow. And the seeker said: " If it is that way, how do you know what is happening in the surrounding towns?" And the man answered: " Because in the mornings, I always come down and bring flowers and fruits to the townspeople, and by the middle of the day I go up again to listen to the mysterious words of the wind and to write them in the book of my life. And the surprised seeker who had taken more than twenty years to ascend the mountain, found a poet who would go up and down the mountain every day.

He, then, started to understand that a teacher of Ki does not stay in the combat but goes beyond and even further on, and whom, astonished as he was, was not able to completely understand.

The Understanding of Ki

When the discipline is worthy and noble, the understanding of Ki is revealed but what first must be understood is that Ki is an ideal strength in the ideal human being. And this is the one who has respect for life and as a consequence, he has taken an step, he has looked up to heaven. And from that step, clear and clean water has sprang forth which is good to drink. And in that heaven, he has found contemplation, expansion and harmony.

It is there where Ki begins to manifest.This man, then, has understood that between heaven and earth and earth and heaven, there is a primordial principle. And from there, he has begun to understand that there must be balance and equilibrium in life.The way to this equilibrium is the way of Ki, the way of glory, the path of Aikido, where man is brother of the mountains, companion of the skies and absolutely one with eternity.

This may seem too physiological or contemplative but it begins by noticing your breath, calming your thoughts, also by been vigilant and attentive of your inner calm.
