Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Throughout history, humanity has searched for answers to questions that lie beyond the surface of ordinary experience. From the earliest civilizations to the modern world, philosophers, mystics, and scholars have attempted to understand the deeper nature of existence. Their ideas, symbols, and teachings form a vast body of knowledge that continues to inspire curiosity and reflection. This book explores that enduring legacy of ancient wisdom. Across cultures and centuries, traditions have emerged that speak of hidden patterns within the universe and within the human mind. Whether expressed through sacred geometry, philosophical teachings, mythological narratives, or symbolic art, these traditions suggest that knowledge often exists in forms that are not immediately obvious. The phrase 'hidden in plain sight' captures an important idea found throughout many ancient teachings. According to numerous philosophers and mystics, the universe constantly reveals its patterns to those who observe carefully. Nature, mathematics, astronomy, and mythology all contain clues that point toward deeper principles governing reality. Ancient civilizations often communicated complex ideas through symbols and stories rather than direct explanation. Symbols such as the eye, the star, the tree of life, and geometric patterns appeared repeatedly across different cultures. These recurring motifs suggest that people across the world were contemplating similar questions about existence, consciousness, and the cosmos. Myths and legends have also preserved fragments of ancient perspectives. Stories of lost civilizations, hidden kingdoms, sacred relics, and cosmic cycles appear in many traditions. Whether interpreted as historical memory, metaphor, or philosophical reflection, these narratives reveal humanity's fascination with the unknown.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ellis Amdur's writing on martial arts has been groundbreaking. In Dueling with O-sensei, he challenged practitioners that the moral dimension of martial arts is expressed in acts of integrity, not spiritual platitudes and the deification of fantasized warrior-sages. In Old School, he applied both academic rigor and keen observation towards some of the classical martial arts of Japan, leavening his writing with vivid descriptions of many of the actual practitioners of these wonderful traditions. His first edition of Hidden in Plain Sight was a discussion of esoteric training methods once common, but now all but lost within Japanese martial arts. These methodologies encompassed mental imagery, breath-work, and a variety of physical techniques, offering the potential to develop skills and power sometimes viewed as nearly superhuman. Usually believed to be the provenance of Chinese martial arts, Amdur asserted that elements of such training still remain within a few martial traditions: literally, 'hidden in plain sight.' Two-thirds larger, this second edition is so much more. Amdur digs deep into the past, showing the complexity of human strength, its adaptation to varying lifestyles, and the nature of physical culture pursued for martial ends. Amdur goes into detail concerning varieties of esoteric power training within martial arts, culminating in a specific methodology known as 'six connections' or 'internal strength.' With this discussion as a baseline, he then discusses the transfer of esoteric power training from China to various Japanese jujutsu systems as well as Japanese swordsman-ship emanating from the Kurama traditions. Finally, he delves into the innovative martial tradition of Daito-ryu and its most important offshoot, aikido, showing how the mercurial, complicated figures of Takeda Sokaku and Morihei Ueshiba were less the embodiment of something new, than a re-imagining of their past.…
