Morihei Ueshiba said in the book ‘Aikido and the harmony of nature’:

“In order to understand nature and the universe, we need to realize the limitations of science………The science of humanity can only serve to illuminate God’s love. Between scientific truth and spiritual truth there must be no separation. Page 63

“Traditional thinking depends on an intuitive grasp of ideas and feelings rather than step-by-step analysis. The Japanese word ‘Kan’ is the expression of this instinctive grasp or sixth sense……………..Aiki has a form and doesn’t have a form. Aiki is a life which has a form and still flows with change, it expresses itself by changing itself”. Page 93

“Concentration on intellectual knowledge will cloud the spiritual vibrations and you will develop only strategy……….. “ page 152
