Samurai sword training and Understanding What it is to be "Truly At one with earth!"
Samurai Becomes a part of you as you become One with the Blade As if it where another Part of your body. To understand what I see one would have to try to imagine what a sonar vision looks like to a dolphin. Then you can grasp How one would feel his way around, with a blade.
It had taken me beyond years to grasp the true meaning of E.S.P. As part of Ninjitsu Training E.S.P. (Extra Sensitive Perception) Is something you train your mind to do, One can exercises ones Mind to extra sensitize his awareness and focus on abilities one didn't know he had, or the potential in that area was unknown. Ninjitsu was the art to Utilize Everything you posess. To other it would seem like magic, which the ninja would use to help the rumors provoke fear. This way as we have a cool collective Ninja facing a heart pounding man full of unknowns and fears. What an advantage.
For example, one would play games such as "the game of stones" Which a friend would take a secret container (which you have not seen) And take a few items, Such as a paper clip, dice, 3 grains of rice, a marble just random things. And this friend will show you the Container for a second, Open it And allow you to view it for about 30 seconds, Then take it completely out of site and you would take a few minutes, then write every detail you remember about what you saw.. The more advanced you get the more you will know in littler time.. The next few times you play you will decrease the time you view the container, and you will increase the time before being quizzed on what you saw. Before you know it.. Your mind will be trained to know every detail about what it sees after a split second of seeing it. This is only a small example of E.S.P.
When relating e.s.p. to swords and becoming one with an Object You have to learn to feel through vibes. At first it was hard to understand fighting blind and how it is possible. Would you use hearing? how would you know your surrounding?
At first I started to feel the vibrations in the blade, I would meditate as I close my eyes I can feel the wind brushing off the tip of my sword, As the sword swings through the air , the air brushes down the blade and off the tip. This is mind, and awareness. Like feeling a fish nibble at the hook on the end of your line.
But to take it to the next level to extra sensitized awareness is when You meditate to a degree that not only can you feel the wind brushing off the tip of the blade but now you can feel the wind, and within the wind, Now you can feel where the wind goes after and what it then brushes off of. Then you develop a picture of your surrounding. Seem far?
It goes farther. Only last year I realized how much farther it goes. I was sitting on a rock, Over looking the sea. I saw a turtle and I could feel the waves pounding against the rocks below. I thought to my self I should use this feelings to be aware of what is around me when I am night diving, so tiger sharks do not sneak upon me. I closed my eyes and began to feel the water brush on the rocks. Rubbing my finger tips on the ground at my knees I felt deeper and deeper. Before I knew it I felt something I had never felt before.. I felt like the ground and rocks where a part of my body. Bot just an antenna But as another body part which I could feel as It where me. For the first time it was as If me. I was really One with the land. At this point I learned that before I thought I knew what it meant to be one with something , yet I had not a simple clue.. Now I knew what the masters meant when they tried to explain this mind set.. To be one with something means so much more than it becoming a part of your body, But a part of your soul and being.
Now when I use my blade it is as a part of my being. I not only feel through it but I feel with it.. If you where to touch it I would feel you graze me like as if you where to cores my face. It is and has become a part of me.. as my leg, arm, lips, My blade..
It goes deeper.. Once you start to understand making something a part of you , you can then start to understand making your entire surrounding a part of you . You can feel through other bodies and beings.. You can feel other people. As they where you .. The potential in this power goes beyond any fairytale you have heard.. As goes many powers of the mind..
The best thing to learn in life is all the magic you have been told is just a fraytail, a far out dream, Is so far beyond real that you only have to live to understand true magic and powers that exist for you to explorer.
How much deeper can it go?
