in the philosophical teachings that form the basis for the Ninja Warrior's lifeways, there is a principle that the" law of mutual dependence. "These so-called" law "is not a mandatory rule that you must follow, it is also not to be confused with dependence or co-dependency, as it is today, if one or more persons who are not or choose not to for themselves, lean and "hangs" on the work and resources of another for the fulfillment of their needs. Rather, the law of interdependence is something that has to be recognized as a fundamental "truth" in the world.

How the law of gravity or cause and effect, there is something "going on," always, whether we "believe" or not. In fact, contrary to our need to believe that we are what we are, this principle in action shows us that we have more than others, as we know.

Unlike the law of gravity, but is difficult to understand and explain; interdependence is relatively easy to explain. Let's look at a simple example to understand this' goings on. " We are a little simpler, like a Whopper. No, I'm not interested in the cheap food franchise and you can replace this item for each of a thousand others. But for our purposes, it will do.

Well, most people agree that the connection between herself and all persons in the restaurant at the time you have visited and your order for the sandwich. Someone has invited you to, another was filled, the merchandise, and others who are sure that it's way to a tray or bag, and ultimately in the hands. In this simple view, there is a distinct connection between you - the person who "wants" the sandwich, and those who make it.

Of course, seen from the perspective of a worker, they are mutually to you and many others in one day, want and are willing to pay for a sandwich, so that they Paycheck at the end of the week. For you: no restaurant - no sandwich. For them: no customers, no restaurant, no Paycheck.

But, in the words of the enigmatic guru "Morphius" from the popular movie, "" The Matrix ", if you really want to see" how deep the rabbit hole goes, "we can much more So simple sandwich.

Let's start with the wrapper. It was not there in the restaurant. It was probably made by truck. What does what? Well, where do you start? Drivers? Truck dealer sold it to Burger King? Truck manufacturer? Trailer manufacturer? Get the idea?

For now, leave the residence with the truck driver and even in conjunction with the restaurant. But already we are talking about more than just the employees in the restaurant, we are not. Many, if not all of them have families who have benefited from their Paycheck in some ways as the company benefited from their desire or willingness to do the job they do.

The packaging itself is paper which now extends our connection to the people in the logging and paper industries and their families. The color does the same in this direction, and so on for the rest of the parts of the sandwich like the burger, vegetables, and so on.

"" What's the point? "" I hear you ask. "" How does this relate to the personal development, martial arts, self defense or my life? "" Because we are no different than a sandwich?

I do not believe that it is the response that the number at home as much as a question: If a burger can be made up of the material, effort, energy, intentions and connections of so many that it almost touches the lives of every other person on the earth - how can we believe that we as a so-called "persons" may be different? Because not all of us have been influenced, either positively or negatively by other people, places and situations, which to us to think, act, and the world as we do?

Can you imagine how different it had different influences, or not at all? Just think of what motivates you to martial arts training. Regardless of whether it was for self-defense, the allure of Asian culture, or soemthing else - you were first exposed to the "other things" - enter the reason for the inclusion of the arts. The proverb says, "no (r) is an island, and it is true. No matter how much we want a" custom ", but we are at any other people on the face of the earth - when no other means than the water we drink and the air we breathe. The law of interdependence teaches us to recognize the value in all things and be treated as if everything that he was "me." Only then can we be sure that we are not in a selfish, self-serve, that the damage, alienate, or hinder ourselves or others.

What does this have to do with our training? It is the person who recognizes and acts to know that this is true, of expanding its world to isolate, rather than as important and in contrast to everything and everyone else, as "natural" of lesser importance. It is the ego, the "right" and "righteous" that needs to attack others - the fight for the right. "

There is an old proverb that: "the truest measure of a person of character is in the way he treated the least important to them. "If we understand and can" see "how all our thoughts, words, actions and acts in the world, we can take control of the process and decide, a sign that the responsibility for the way they relate to other. No longer are we a state of separation and isolation, but rather selectively move through our world with compassion and disciplined.

We have a choice. We can act as "Nice" for others, because they are the proper manners to do so, because we expect to get something from them, or because we live with them. Or can we treat others with respect and honor because we recognize that we are already familiar with them in some way already.
