"Your guide for newbies covers vastly all the points that worry me the most ... I read it eagerly the minute I received it, and several times more after. ... I wonder how people used to prepare for their first gradings in the olden days, before you guys wrote this guide ... In general, I like the understanding and friendly style of yours, and the tricks to gain a few secs in case you feel too tired! ..." Patricia, London

As O-Sensei taught, and numerous spiritual masters and literary works, etc. teach, everything is one, every process leads to one goal which is the creation of complete unity. We are all parts of a the enormous infinity which is often called the Universe. As we are all parts of this we need to accept that we are also parts of each other. The nail of your little finger is a separate thing but also part of ourselves. So if you consider the whole picture, each and every person or creature in the Universe is some kind of part of the ‘One’. I am part of someone else and everyone else has a little bit inside me. If we take this view then my opponent (attacker) is part of me just like my wife, girlfriend, friend, etc or just like my own self. As I am able to love the latter group of people I should also be able to love my opponent as well. If I can do this and I can identify with the attacker I should be able to sense them just as I sense myself. If this happens then the real, ultimate love appears and distance won’t be a matter of problem any more.
