“…[Practicing the sword form] leads to experiences of such a depth and fullness that reflections about the sword as a weapon become superficial…. Something opens that is universal, which makes it completely unimportant what you have in your hand: a kitchen spoon, a tobacco pipe, a sword. The more this inner dimension of strength and energy opens, the more the ‘external’ retreats.”
