Has anyone read "The Art of Peace" by Morihei Ueshiba?

This book is a treasure trove of wisdom. Let me give you a quote:

"Contemplate the workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, and take all that is good as your own. With this as your base, open your own door to truth. Do not overlook the truth that is right before you. Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything-even mountains, rivers, plants, and trees-should be your teacher."

This book is full of jewels like this.

The story behind the book is equally amazing. Morihei Ueshiba was supposedly the greatest martial artist ever. He was supposedly invincible in combat. He was inspired by a number of visions in his lifetime, all very DMTish. One of them the Great Spirit of Peace tells him that the true way of the warrior is the Art of Peace! Morihei Ueshiba is most famously known as the founder of Akido (which can be translated as "The Art of Peace" ) . Overall, a very interesting person.

Highly recommended reading for those seeking wisdom!!! It's super short too. You can read it in less than an hour, but it will give you endless wisdom to mediate on!!

sounds interesting. the peacefull warrior is something ive been interested in for a while. anybody can live violently but to find a way to live without aggression, in a world gone mad for it, takes courage indeed.

“A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man." -J.K.

I can't recommended this book enough. Here is another awesome quote:

"All things, material and spiritual, originate from one source and are related as if they were one family. The past, present, and future are all contained in the life force. The universe emerged and developed from one source, and we evolved through the optimal process of unification and harmonization."

This book is truly a masterpiece. It is one of those books that apply to anything. Deeply spiritual.
