Significant texts from the book of Shidoshi Alfredo Tucci
"I think there is no true martial mastery without compassion. The absence of it is the only thing that allows the inner monster win the battle and the horror outcrop."
"Every initiation is like entering a funnel, like passing through a sieve increasingly finer, subjecting our being to a decantation. Unavoidably, snippets of our being are left on the road, disposable rags that must be relegated because they become a burden, because they've already fulfilled their task, or because they are unacceptable in the upper plane we want to access."
“We suffer because we lack something; because we are afraid to lose what we have; because we have something that looked good, but it turned out to be not so good; or because we have something we can't get rid of.”
“Nothing replaces the consciousness of being and understanding; that's why the authentic path must force the transformation of consciousness enabling us to die to what we are, so that we can be born to what we are not; in this transit, pain is not negotiable, but suffering is.”
"Alice crossed the mirror, but we all can do it, because achieving that, lies among our assignments and potentials. “We are spiritual beings having a material existence and not the other way round."
