Jesus was a Ninja
-
"The vast universe,
beautiful in its coldly impersonal totality, contains all that we call good and
bad, all the answers for all the paradoxes we see around us. By opening his
eyes and his mind, the ninja can responsively follow the subtle seasons and
reasons of heaven, changing just as change is necessary, adapting always, so
that in the end there is no such thing as surprise for the ninja."-
Takamatsu sensei
To pursue the 'way of the warrior'
one opens themself to the meaning of life- without having a constant eye for
the truth one simply becomes flotsom floating through life. Patience is
essential when being of a mind where we want truth most- for all perceived
disharmony arises from preconception unfulfilled. Patience is the 'cheat code',
the absolute win, with it you allow yourself to see that there is nothing but
you, and therefore no evil (no enemies)- that all things are product of the
infinite experience behind them. So then, the truths of resentment and fear are
revealed to be byproducts of 'attachment'. Hold on to nothing to find that you
are everything, then you will discover, without even trying, that you are being
most practical to your happiness.
Jesus was a ninja. He understood
that the root of taijutsu is in the intent. That to rely on pride is to blind
one's self from the truth of what they are, which, essentially, is God. So, as
children, we play and in the playing, learn. May every perceived disharmony
remind of patience.
