The secret of freedom

Turner, Vernon Kitabu

Donning Co.

The power of the Warrior Mind is its ability to act from Mushin...a state of No Mind. As a mirror reflects objects without clinging to the images, the Warrior Mind is free to flow from one object to the next without impediment. From this state arises instinctive wisdom, the power that allows ordinary people to perform extraordinary feats.
This is the power that lives within each of us: the power which the author, a legendary black belt and Zen master, hopes to awaken in his readers. It functions within us daily but is counteracted by the false mind and its endless projections. The task is to still the mind to the point where "the action and the actor [are] a seamless thread."
Daily life is the battlefield for the Warrior Mind. The author shows us how to "flow into the affairs of the day. Meeting the rising and falling of circumstance, we learn how to . . trust our true selves once again."
Soul Sword is an active meditation for those who wish to be in the world but not of it.

No matter what you believe about the creation of life, whether you put your stock in science or religion, there is at least one faith we all believe in: the mind. Like God, the mind cannot be seen; its origin is a mystery, its powers are awesome, and its boundaries unknown.
In Soul to Soul, Vernon Kitabu Turner, a black American Zen master, shows you how to still your thoughts, tame your mind, and tune into the Divine Mind. One of the few people on the planet who can use the "chi" energy, Turner is internationally celebrated as both a philosopher and a martial artist.
Turner explains that tapping into the power of the Divine Mind will make your more self-confident, invulnerable to the whims of others, and more capable of a dynamic life. He writes: "There is, indeed, far more to you than can be seen, but you cannot unlock that secret by studying the physical body. You cannot come into the fullness of that experience merely by linking yourself to an organized group. There are some roads you must travel alone."
All the great masters know that there is a universal path to spiritual freedom on Earth, and Soul to Soul shows you that path.
