AIKI: on the path to truth and natural power
The longer You practice Aikido the more You realize reality. The way of Aiki is spiritual development, to get rid of illusions. There is no past and no future, just this present moment. There is a mind, a conciousness, awareness, but no space for subjective thoughts. And there is natural harmony in the present eternity. Aiki connects us to the truth and guides us to our self, the individual expression of nature. It animates us to discover our mission and to create peace through our manifestation in this world. It strengthens us by getting rid of egoistic causality and blindings, which weaken or block our ability to connect to this amazing universal source of energy. It anchors our soul by the virtues of budo. It enables us to control violence with love. For me this feel like real life, with every breath I take. I want to thank all, who supported me on this way, especially my old friend and Aikido spark Dimitri Farmakidis Sensei and of course my Sensei George Koliopoulos for this precious gift. And the best in the end: as long as we live, we are still beginners. Let's look forward, although there is no future, if we are here and now 😀.
