Aikido is based on the projection of love.

All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the manifestation of love.

Do not look upon this world with fear and loathing. Bravely face whatever the gods offer.

Move like a beam of light: fly like lightning, strike like thunder, whirl in circles around a stable center

Mankind's role is to fulfil his heaven-sent purpose through a sincere heart that is in harmony with all creation and loves all things.

Your spirit is the true shield.

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.
