Ninja Mystic
On their path to spiritual refinement, the Kurai Kotori Sohei (Warrior-Mystic) practices an art known as Gorin Kuji Myo Himitsu Shaku or the Secret Knowledge of Inner Strength. This art form makes use of indepth medative techniques that are focused on unleashing the dormant spiritual powers that dwell deep within every warrior. If the warrior can successfully tap into their inner power, they can accomplish superhuman feats. Feats such as heightening mental and physical strength, refining mental focus, directing spiritual energy, projecting thoughts and emotions and tapping into the realm of the shadow.
As mysterious as this sounds, these powers exist within every human being in existence. They are not magical energies as much as they are personal, spiritual energies that, if focused, can bring about the creation of powerful skills that breach the realm of normal human abilities.
The Meditative technique used in Gorin Kuji Myo Himitsu Shaku draws upon the energies of the body, speech, and mind of the warrior to attain the realization of their inner strength. The Body, Speech, and Mind together make up what is called the Three great secrets (Sanmitsu).
The secrets of Body contain the Ketsu-in which are methods of finger weaving. Each of these hand positions symbolize a certain feat the warrior is trying to accomplish. Along with the entertwining of fingers there are also ritual implements such as the prayer bell.
The secrets of Speech contain the Jumon which are the “True word” incantations. These vocal intonations follow a pattern of specific sounds that put the warrior in a communicative state with the energy that flows through the universe.
The secrets of Mind contain the Kanso which invoke the strength ancient Deities through the use of written scrolls that specify the warrior’s intentions. This is known as KUFU (Concentrated reflection).
From the very simple to the most complex, the Gorin Kuji Myo Himitsu Shaku ritual can be applied in a great number of combinations. The rituals can be applied by a solitary warrior, or done with many warriors to create a more powerful effect.
