>Sweet! I always knew that Usui and Ueshiba crossed paths. So Aikido sprang from the combination of brute force and Reiki? Until the fateful Reiki Treatment, all Ueshiba was doing was pushing boulders and sitting under freezing waterfalls, right?
Would I be correct in assuming that this is a reply to
"The Empowerment Symbol -- Shinto connection" thread on the Reiki Discussion message board?
BTW a caution re: tales of interaction between Usui Sensei and O-Sensei Ueshiba - one account of their meeting (in Japan) apparently took place during a time when O-Sensei Ueshiba was actually on a military campaign in China!!!
