Great post. I am new to the Bujinkan, and martial arts in general as a practitioner but what has drawn me to the Bujinkan is the philosophy that I hear from every one of my teachers and training partners. You just put it a lot more eloquently. Thanks and keep sharing your knowledge.

Honestly, I think it’s Hatsumi soke’s way of saying, “Think for yourself!”

Eccentric? Possibly, though I’d suggest he is the most normal person in the Bujinkan.

I highly recommend this seminar. Doug is a wonderful teacher, but more importantly, a balanced and mature person.

Purple represents a high level of integration. Looking from a esoteric / metaphysical perspective – purple prism is of the seventh ray. Mystics of all ages have glimpsed a “spiritual spectrum” behind the physical spectrum. Radiant colors, more pure and rare than those found on earth, emanate from a brilliant, “inner” divine light. Just as a ray of sunlight passing through a prism refracts into seven colors, spiritual light splits into seven colors, or “rays” – each of which has specific divine qualities. The violet flame comes forth from the violet ray or purple ray, which has the qualities of mercy, forgiveness, freedom and transmutation. I happen to love purple and lavender – my room emanates this empowering color.

Thanks Doug for the tidbits of kuden. Love this aspect of teaching.

Boy, would I love to see that…is there anywhere one can find a picture of soke wearing his purple hair ?

Eccentric? Yes, I feel he cultivates that!
