“The absolute universe is one. We call this ki.”
Koichi Tohei (1920–2011) Japanese aikidoka
3 : The way to union with ki
Ki Sayings (2003)
Context: The absolute universe is one. We call this ki. Our lives and our bodies are born of the ki of the universe. Study thoroughly the principles of the universe and practice them. We are one with the universe. There is no need to despond, no need to fear. The way we follow is the way of the universe, which no difficulty nor hard-ship can hinder. Let us have the courage and say, "if I have a clear conscience and a calm spirit, I dare to face an enemy of ten million."
