Spiritual aspects of Aikido - purification / misogi - Zen story

[standinginnothing]

Aikido to me as an art or way that exists in the realm of possibility. It creates, generates, allows for that something bigger to exist. What we inherit is the world of identity. The world of identity is about overcoming, it is about someday, it is about dominating etc. The world of possibility is about being. It is a now phenomenon. In the world of possibility, anything that is possible is available in that world. Much of what the purifying is about happens in being complete. Never becoming.
