In china in Bao pu zi by Ge Hong, it was not to call his ancestors, but the Liu Jia(six jia spirits) astrological category Katori shinto DOES use it for mental/spiritual preparedness primarily, Otake sensei says clearly in his Deity and the Sword, it is to get into the state of Muga (selflessness)
@@AntonyCummins my pleasure! He says: “By linking these nine signs, the will becomes unified, all worldly thoughts fall away, and the self is extinguished.” No serious book has said/instructed to do such and such with kuji, but more like the use of it would be such and such, suppose someone is initiated. Same kinda thing is said about Muga in his more recent book
Never dissatisfied w this channel. ChosenNinja did a great vid on Kuji, just say'n, for those who believe in the Kobudera Kuji Keri , and No I disavow Any and All types of supremacy. Supreme in SelfMastery only. Ousu Sensei Anthony 👊🏾
So kuji in is a common thing for anyone darn, I really like the mystic image it gives to the ninja. I'll still use it to banish demons though hehe LoL. 😄
@@AntonyCummins Maybe believing they had special power's nobody else did is what pushed them forward. Belief in something real or not is still pretty powerful. 🤩
I recently purchased a valuable tome on kuji kiri. It’s a lot to take on. Direction to face, mantra, bodhisatva, purification, visualization, etc.. I bumped my head on the Sanskrit.
You're telling me that there's no such thing as ninja bikes and ninja blenders? You're crushing my soul, Antony. First time I heard the "Words of Power" was when you mentioned them during your video "What was a Samurai Battle Like?" Now this is obviously a very different context to a superstitious hike in the mountains or any other sort of travel. Was it used for the same reasons on the battlefield (e.g. ward off evil, divine protection)? Or did it's meaning take on a different implication considering the circumstances (e.g. strength, courage, invulnerability)? Would they still recite it secretly before battle or was it clamoured as a war cry? Just trying to establish a better understanding of the application. Cheers!
There are a few odd video glitches in the video I think, around 3:15 - 3:30 especially. Maybe it's on my end though. Either way it doesn't really hurt the viewing experience but might be something to keep an eye out for. I still find the idea of the Kuji Kiri hand things fascinating, even if they aren't historically accurate.
Hi Anthony, where can i find information on how to do kuji-kiri with the sword? For example, in muso shinden shigenobu ryu, and in most of the koryu of iaido and kenjutsu, at the end of the noto, there is a movement of the right hand on the tsuka, which comes directly from the kuji-kiri, and it is to cut the connection with the dead enemy. I would like to know more about this influence of kuji in iaido styles. thank you very much in advance, best regards
I did kuji-in meditation and I am going to do it again and make it a habit. Its very powerfull. I highly recomend it. Checkout kujiindotcom. I learned it from my meditation instructor. A bit complicated but its a very good and complete spiritual practice.
Can you explain this topic? Chosum Ninja (R.I.P) warned also in one of his video that these thing could be dangerous. Is this true? Or what is it all about?

I’ve been needing some invisible armor... so demons beware
Great video! Thank you!
Started reading your books about 3 months ago. I'm through 3 have 4 waiting. Now it's gonna be 5
Haha thank you always good to hear

Does he say use Kuji in or Kuji kiri for metal things. And thank you for the add on for six spirits

It’s still cool they thought they had the special power and no one else did and that what everyone thought 😹

The Kuji-In is a ritual used to gain spiritual power ninjas do this as part of their tradition
That’s not true. The whole point of this channel to get away from that type of belief.
@@AntonyCummins oh right I need to do my research that was my primary thought
Very cool episode,just like all the rest.
Wonder what Ashida Kim would say.
🤔 interesting !!! 👍👋👏🙌🤝
In Chinese the Kuji are Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Chian, Xing!
Thank you that’s great
Thanks 👍 😃

It's impressive, there are so may mistakes in the way the ninjas were being represented in culture. It seems that they got almost everything wrong.
Greetings!!!!!

I did a guide to Kuji not sure if I did in that but it’s simple. You just draw the sword and do same
In Chinese the mantra is called riuzi mailing.
I did kuji-in meditation and I am going to do it again and make it a habit. Its very powerfull. I highly recomend it. Checkout kujiindotcom. I learned it from my meditation instructor. A bit complicated but its a very good and complete spiritual practice.

Some Kuji from an old ninja movie: ruclips.net/video/sQXli6eSrfo/видео.html
How does Kuji Kiri translate from Japanese?
Nine charters cuts
Sorry but those who have not been initiated to Kuji-in and Kuji kiri should not talk about it.
