Overview

Oneness of mind and body is heart and soul of all martial arts. The purpose of martial arts' discipline, with its focus on overcoming anger, fear and ego, is to achieve this oneness. The attainment of this state accomplishes much more than freeing us from reaction time - the empty void that lies between thought and action: it liberates the self itself, which is then capable of immense power. In Bushido this state of consciousness is termed mushin - no mind. In other disciplines or religions, it is termed enlightenment, cosmic consciousness or spiritual consciousness. Christ Jesus referred to it as the kingdom of heaven. In the Star Wars movies, George Lucas designated it The Force. Its physiological term is theta consciousness, a state most individuals experience only during the rapid eye movement portion of sleep. By whatever name we call it - oneness is an elusive goal. At first, it is fleeting, ephemeral. It comes upon us in the most unexpected moments and then it's gone. But, once experienced it cannot be forgotten. It burns in our hearts and awakens within us a hunger to make it our own. The Training of the Wolf is an allegorical account of the author's quest for oneness.
