It is great seeing Ginny Sensei getting to show her Aikido. I usually see her in a teaching context. Which by necessity she slow down and makes each movement clear. Her final high fall ukemi was poetry. The flow from Nikyo into kokyu nage was fantastic! Thank you for this post!

From the perspective of a 77-year-old who has consciously "been on the path" for more than 50 years, having had many mystic experiences as well as the experiences of simply living the yoga of daily life as a human on Planet Earth, I'm very appreciative of hearing Tahir-ji articulate his personal journey in such depth and self-reflection. His thoughts resonate with my own and my own experiences...about the various "bridge texts" (like Autobiography of a Yoga etc that he cites) and teachings that drew many of us away from fixed religious paths and into asana, meditation, Sufism and more, with music as an important guide. The evolution of thinking about an end point of mastery and enlightenment versus shifting perspective about the fully human experiences that include suffering, pain, confusion, separation and more...very juicy! I know Tahir through his devotion to Qawwali and Fanna-fi-Allah, I've hosted him at my home over the years when FFA was on tour in Northern California, but we have not had the time to spend in this kind of rich conversation and I'm very thankful that you, Kenan-ji, seized the moment after that amazing "concert" in Sebastopol and dug deep. Wonderful interview, beautiful musings, wise and thoughtful, both of you! Pranams! Bhavani (No idea why it is showing as JoyfulNoiseGospelSingers rather than BhavaniJudithTucker!)

A million gratitude to both of you for gifting us with you wisdom on this topic not easily preferred. Your Humility & courage made this such a humble & profound class. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this interview. This gave me insight into the mind and philosophy. I am reminded of this I wrote July of 2024: If the mind is full of expectation to judge, name, or label it shapes the experience & separates us from the world. Imagine the last time you felt awe at the magnificent beauty of our world... were you trying to name each and every thing you saw? To categorize, describe and name is a useful and important part of communicating & understanding our complex world. It is how we tell our story internally and externally. However if this "story" becomes our reality we become lost. ALL the names, categories and labels are imagined (even our own). When you can disconnect from this attempt to "capture" reality you can more completely become part of it. I believe this is like a sharp edge we are tasked with balancing: One foot in the "mundane" named rational world, the other in the wild "magical" world of feeling and emotional connection. To argue one against the other will always result in an unresolved conflict. To hold both without conflict is a form of Dao.(Dō in japanese)

Thank you for this interview. Covers many important themes, aside from 'showing up for death in a loving way'.

Such a beaitiful soul.

Amazing!

Thank you, Very poignant.

What he said about kundalini is completely in keeping with my experience.

Thank you very much for this. Is there a direct successor to Swami Lakshmanjoo ?

Om Namah Shivaya

This was great even though I didn't quite understand everything. I'll have to listen to it again. Exactly when and where will he be when he comes to the U.S? How can I find out?

Very profound and mind bending in the best sense. I also really appreciate Gary Zukav's work.

Wonderful interview. Thank you 🙏

Is there a ebook version?

Science = Fact Religion = Fiction

????

Great conversation and so relevant for our time. Devotion is alive in me and all I want is to offer myself completely. Thank you for the encouragement, Igor ❤🙏

He is so wise and I am so stupid that even after almost 40 years of practicing classical tantra I still cannot understand him. Maybe next time...

Great Content!

There is no dignity or value in flogging yurself through the religious ideas that for you have never been directly understood or perceived. This truth is as clear as daylight to so many of us that it seems pertinant to point it out to you today. Sure, if you recognize this you will lose all the meaning of your life because you will see it exactly as it is, and all our lives are meaningless today. There is meaningfulness and even hope only when we open our eyes and see our lives for what it is, and in you is nothing but the desperate scramble for attention that destroys all sanity in spiritual discussion today. You're not alone. There are only spiritual vampires helping others: otherwise we would not destroy other people's freedom and dignity by expecting them to so stupid that they swallow everything we say and find us to be useful or important. This is ego inflation, which is spiritual deflation, so decide what you want: ego inflation or the growth of true understanding of yourself and life as a whole It's up to you mate. And Tolle is no different. IF YOU WANT TO BE AS PAINFULLY AVERAGE, BORING AND HOPELESS AS HE THEN YOU WANT WHAT HE'S GOT RATHER THEN THE TRUTH.

Loved this interview as well, so much wisdom - thank you Kenan and George!

Wow what a wild episode! I do believe synchronicity is not just a coincidence - it's a reminder that we're always in an exchange with The All. By engaging authentically, we can tap into our deeper purpose here. Very beautiful

wonderfully deep

Such a deeply insightful conversation! I just recently discovered Igor Kufayev and wow he's great! I'm loving the beauty path & am learning that true transformation begins with embracing the beauty in our own imperfections, rather than trying to transcend them. By accepting and loving ourselves exactly as we are, we open the door to a deeper connection with the world and a more profound sense of inner peace. Namaste friends

Thank you for this in depth dialogue...carried along by wonderful questions...very much looking forward to part 2...🕊

Thank you very much for offering this thoughtful and rich conversation. The ending part of the interview really moved me, and I'm looking forward to the continuation in part 2.

Thank you Kenan for sharing this conversation which touches on so many aspects that one is eager to come back to this clip again and again to cherish all the wisdom it entails. "That we all life our lives is already a paradox, but it's not about solving that paradox...." this is why I take so much from Igor Kufayev's teachings - because it is life-embracing and liberating at the same time. Looking forward what is there to come on your channel, all the best 🌟

Beautiful interview, Thank you Kenan and Igor for the conversation... deep grattitude and appreciation for this delicate, in depth dialogue, whilst listening ❤️

Thank you for this wonderful and well prepared conversation on these important topics. It is truly a pleasure to follow your conversation. I wish people get in touch with this work through your video. A work which is so healing for the collective/individual 🌺🕊

Such a wonderful conversation and awesome that Igor Kufayev is coming to the US in late September for a live immersion! 🙏

Such a rich interview containing many gold nuggets of wisdom! Thank you for sharing! 🙏💓

Most fascinating ! And glad that Igor Kufayev will soon be in the US for a 6-day immersion !

What a brilliant conversation - thank you for bringing this out into the open which allows a fascinating reflection on these highly refined ideas 🙏

Deeply grateful for this video.

I'm in! Thank you for creating this! 💫

Faster than light? Quantum entanglement?

Awsome thank you ❤️🪷❤️🙏

The observer is inexorably bound to the observed. One cannot observe anything without an effect on it.

I have not yet even watched the whole interview but just in the opening Sky touched on something I internalized many years ago. I imagined the universe from the perspective of photons of light. Which would have NO time a photon is generated and then absorbed without any interval at all. So this follows that there is no past or future everything "is." Time is not a dimension it is an emergent property of experience or observation. I will continue watch and see how this connects. I hope to meet Sky at some point to discuss deep thoughts.

Can and how can you put them into Self awareness Where is the rest of the talk

Wonderful interview, i really appreciated getting to know Ginny sensei better. Her story is motivating

so good to see george 🙏🏼

Thank you both for this interview. I gained great insight into this mysterious and deep practice of Aikido.

This "code" is a scaffolding that allows us to build ourselves. Once this structure is built and strong the scaffolding is no longer needed for it is now embodied in your being.

I hope more people can come to understand the heart of what I was saying here. The seed of compassion should be nurtured and fed so it may bloom into a powerful divine energy.

I am so impressed 👏❤️

Thank you for this intervew. Ginny Breeland Sensei articulates so well these deeper and transformational qualities of aikido practice.

As a fellow student of Ginny & Pete I can attest to the sincerity of this conversation. It is amazing how many of the same thoughts and words have been swirling around inside of me for what seems like life times. As Ginny mentioned there are many paths. The relationship between Nage and Uke is the most egalitarian practice. No matter our differences off the we can still train together We are all Nage & Uke simultaneously; physically, mentally & spiritually. The connection to sound & light is no accident for these show the same properties of a "waveform" with patterns of constructive and destructive interference. Like the merging of ripples on the surface of water. So to we all have the chance to magnify and empower OR tear down and destroy. To accept this and choose the former is the true path of The Warrior (echoing the words of O'Sensei).

Absolutely Sensei!! Thank you both!
