Transcending Thought
A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
Quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
The Divine
The divine is not something high above us. It is in heaven, it is in earth, it is inside us.

Contemplate the workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, take all that is good as your own. With this as your base, open your won 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.
