The Art of Peace
by Morihei Ueshiba
December 14, 1883 – April 26, 1969)
(Shambala Productions, 2005)
“The Divine Beauty of Heaven and Earth! All creation, Members of One family.”
Morihei Ueshiba
Peace Knowledge as Wisdom. ~
Continued fighting will ruin the Earth. Unlike The Art of War, this book and this man espouse Peace as inevitable versus war. "Takemusu Aiki" COURAGEOUS AND CREATIVE LIVING.
PEACE begins with self. Appointed task? Self Work. Refinement and training. Inner divinity. Fostering Peace in our own lives and then sharing it by ART OF PEACE in all things.
Training for Peace right here and now. Material and Spiritual as One Family. No time. Life Force. Oneness through Optimal Service to Return to Harmonic.
There was no Heaven or Earth. A single point appeared in the vast emptiness. It manifested itself which sent a strong forward of manifestations until a luminous sacred sound or "The Word" occurred.
All vibration and sound emanate from that original sound as the "Word." Voice as "weapon." Cosmic Breath of Heaven. Attunement and Harmonics. True sounds. In unification of the mind-body-spirit in speech emergent techniques not "available" prior appear.
HEAVEN, EARTH, & HUMANKIND united on The path of Harmonic Unification. The vast seas and highest peaks are forms of Joy in the search for THE ART OF PEACE.
The Heart of The Human Being is no different than The SOUL OF HEAVEN AND EARTH. Keep the Interaction of Heaven and Earth, Water & Fire, and Yin and Yang in THINKING all the time.
Contests are not found in The Art of Peace. The Warrior contests with Nothing. Defeat? "Defeat" is conquering the mind of contention within.
The Art of Peace is no object and cannot be possessed. Nor can it be given. Each must garner The Art of Peace within and then speak it in Voice as The Word.
The Awakened Warrior can freely used all elements of Heaven and Earth. The True Warrior learns how to correctly interpret The Universe's activity. Transformation. Purity, Goodness, and Beauty. The mind and body must be permeated with Enlightened Wisdom throughout and a Deep Calm.
His name means "Abundant Peace."

Tigue Ray El: Like the Mantra, Master Ueshiba is one with his function and is aligned with the Universe such that it flows through him… at once, both a cause and an effect of himself intentionally.
A technique can only work if it is in Harmony with Universal principles. Pure Conscious mind....releases selfish desires. Fix senses, keeping centering. Wondrous power and clarity.
"A Good Stance and Posture reflect a Proper State of Mind."
Keeping hands, feet, and hips straight and centered. Guide the opponent by moving freely in your centeredness. If they want to pull, let them. Because we are free there is nothing to grab and control is impossible for the opponent.
TECHNIQUES that employ FOUR QUALITIES... that REFLECT the ***Nature of Our World*** ... may be used depending on circumstance ... 1. Hard as a Diamond. 2. Flexible as a Willow. 3. Flowing like Water 4. Empty as Space.
Functioning Harmoniously TOGETHER... right left ...left to grasp life and death, right to control it. The 4 limbs are 4 Pillars of Heaven, They manifest the 8 Directions, Yin/Yang, and Outer/Inner.
The right hand and the left... where Yang is manifest rightly and Balanced through left Yin which Whole guides the Self. Its not political, its Life.
The Art of Peace techniques are neither without or within, they are neither slow nor fast, they are TRANSCENDANT OF TIMESPACE.
"Keep your movements circular. Imaginea circle with a crossdrawn through it. Place yourself in the center and stand there confidentally in a triangle stance. Link yourslef to the Ki of heaven and earth, pivot around the front foot, and guide your partner around that center."
"The body should be triangular, the mind circular. The triangle represents the generation of energy and is the most stable physical posture. The circle symbolizes serenity and perfection, the source of unlimited techniques. The square stands for solidity, the basis of applied control."
