Unfortunately, as Ninjutsu, the art of Japan’s ancient Ninja families, has become popular and widespread, it seems that the true power within the art remains as secret as ever. What I mean is that Ninjutsu, or Ninpo as it is known in its higher philosophical form, is a dynamic system of interrelated and complementary skills, strategies, and tactics to do much more than defend.
One of the main lessons within the teachings of life and self-protection training is that of the Sanmitsu, or the “threefold secrets”. Understanding this powerful lesson and how it works is the key to success, both on the streets and battlefields and beyond.
Mastering the sanmitsu first requires you to know what the “3 secrets” are. So, you must be able to recognize them at work (or not) in every action, every minute, every day. The sanmitsu is not something that is learned, but rather “recognized.” It is the recognition of three different aspects of your being, and whether or not they are working together in a unified way, or whether or not you spend your days as if some internal opposing general has attacked you with the primary combat tactic of “split.” and conquer!”
Once you master sanmitsu, the triple secrets of success, you will be able to use its power to not only defeat any attacker, but you will also have the power to literally create the life of your dreams.
It’s THAT powerful!
But again, you must start by learning all three aspects of Sanmitsu himself. But he remembers…
Knowing the Sanmitsu does nothing for you except add to your already growing collection of mental trivia, most of which you can’t, won’t, or haven’t taken steps towards mastering in life. I know that sounds harsh, and it is. But, the truth is that this training is for warriors, decisive men and women of “action”.
These three aspects of sanmitsu create your present reality, moment by moment, and are tools for producing your future perspective on reality. To harness the power of this mighty tool in the Ninja master’s arsenal, you must take control of your…
Thoughts – Your thoughts determine your reality, even if that reality is true within your own mind and no one else’s. Learn to take control of your thoughts and thought processes. Use meditative practice to go beyond the zen-like state of calm and focus, and explore your beliefs and ideas about:
1) yourself
2) Others, and…
3) The world around you.
Challenge all beliefs, especially those things that you consider to be irrefutable truth! You must realize and understand that your thoughts produce your words and actions.
Words- Your speech and the way you communicate is a very powerful thing. Most people find themselves surrounded by a mixture of positive and negative people. They find that they have a hard time attracting the people they want in their lives, but seem to have no problem attracting other people who constantly distract them or get in their way.
Take control of your own speech by paying attention to what YOU say, AND how you say it. This is a very challenging process, because the ego will try to filter everything through your perceptions of the 3 types of ideas and beliefs that I talked about earlier.
It’s not about changing “you,” but about understanding that we attract and repel people, consciously and unconsciously, in part because of the way we communicate.
You must understand that your words are the bridge between your inner world and the outer world.
Wanderings- Just as your words communicate with the world, so do your actions. Everything from the way you dress to the way you carry yourself, everything you “do” speaks to the world about what you believe about the 3 perspectives I talked about earlier.
Again, don’t think of this as exchanging yourself for others, which, in the ninja’s mind, speaks of someone who is closed-minded and defensive. Instead, think of the ability to project the image that will get him what he wants as part of Ninja’s disguise and impersonation tactics. Take control of your physical appearance and your movements in the world to influence the thoughts, words and actions of others.
If you want to harness the power of sanmitsu, you must understand that these three aspects of yourself – the way you think, speak and act – must work together and be in balance if you want to be able to achieve your goals quickly. , easily and efficiently.
