Respectfully, I disagree with Soke Hatsumi that ninpo should be offered to the world as a guiding influence for all martial artists. Ninjutsu through divine intervention I believe was permitted to spread and grow throughout the world for a time. However I believe that time is now past. Martial artists can never understand, nor should they be allowed to try to understand the mysteries of the sacred teachings of the warriors called ninja. The world is lead astray time and time again by fools professing to be wise, yet are nothing, leading without remorse or repentance evermore continuing into sin. Sheep to the slaughter. Without thinking, they move one by one, ever closer to death. It is once again time in the human destiny for ninpo, or rather Seisho Ryu Ninjutsu. Thinking about what Dr. Hutsumi has said regarding ninpo I wonder how can the world be entrusted with such a vast body of knowledge? Even with teachers properly instructing (which is rare in a business) it is likely without the commitment of the warrior's heart, the benevolent heart one will dishonor the art. This is why ancient scrolls of ryu-ha where destroyed if there was not an heir suitable to continue the teachings in a true form. A warrior is born as such, created in heaven before birth to battle for truth, hope, purity, and ultimately -Love. For a warrior is born with a benevolent heart. A warrior can not be made as some would think, only refined and sharpened. The Benevolent heart is the faith of a warrior's spirit at work. Nobility is the essence of a true warrior operating in the meekness of humility, leading all towards the true path of enlightenment in Christ Jesus. Nobility however is not something you are born with, it is not a birthright, nor can it be inherited; No, Nobility is defined by your actions everyday of your life. The Holy Scriptures declares that many are called, but few are chosen. Seisho Ryu Ninja are chosen and called for all that the Lord wills. True personal enlightenment can only come through the Holy Scriptures and Divine Revelations given by Jesus the Christ. A warrior is a chosen vessel, a lamp onto the darkness, a consecrated champion even as an image of our Lord. The life philosophy of the ninja-(endurance, perseverance, having a benevolent heart with the hope of victory) in its higher order is flawed, in this, there is an end! The spiritual survival methods carried out by the ninja of old did not work! According to the Holy Scriptures - (John 14:6)-there is only one way to survive after one dies and that is through Christ Jesus. With greater wisdom, knowledge, and insight comes greater responsibility. It is therefore imperative that one when seeking after knowledge and skill in the warrior arts to have the knowledge of Christ as an anchor in all they do. A warrior without such knowledge will never emerge into their true destiny; which God prepared and created for them before time began. A warrior can find harmony and contentment when they come to flow with the three primary laws. The three primary laws are spiritual, natural, and physical. The warrior who is not knowledgeable about these laws can never hope to be a true ninja. - For the essence is survival, but more than survival, Prevailing for a Purpose - to evolve and grow stronger while ensuring safety for those whom are loved, ever climbing to that next plateau on the way to heaven. Soke Hatsumi is right in this, it is time once again in human destiny in which ninpo is needed; However I dare to say let it be Seisho Ryu Ninjutsu- The art that keeps on Giving the art that strives to Take Action for the Kingdom of God. The art that truly prepares students that God has entrusted to us for these last days. Seisho Ryu Ninjutsu, the true essence should be one of Christ in every teacher of this art. I say to you reader, if you have eyes to see- see! If you have ears to hear-hear! If you have a heart to perceive and understand- be sure! And if not I pray now that the Lord would grant to you this moment -wisdom and understanding. |
