Nine Cuts – Nine Powers

This title is a reference to the ninja’s legendary kuji-kiri “nine-letter cut” – a grid of
horizontal and vertical slashes that project our power out into the world to give a boost to
our intentions to create good and diminish negative, to accel advancement and banish
obstacles. Sometimes, just feeling strong and positive is not enough; you need to give your
power a sound and a form to project it into action.

The nine powers are deep and cannot be quickly or simply explained, but an attempt at
describing these nine aspects of full self-actualization follows.
 RIN Physical, mental, and spiritual strength – To be strong and vital, unhindered in body,
mind, and spirit

MUDRA: DOKKO IN (VAJRA)

MANTRA: ON BAI SHIRA MAN TO YA SO WA KA

PYO Nervous and energetic systems at full power – To activate and actualize the bright
potential in all my body energy centers. “Activated energy centers, multiple intelligence
systems” – feeling your way towards winning a fight from intellect, emotion, reading the
process, regulating tension, holding values, remembering past lessons. The idea is to be in
a fight with your mind, feelings, perceptions, memories, senses, nerve energies, and
intentions all providing subjective guidance for move-to-move progress towards winning.
Sometimes we study and train so hard to learn a technique in a “this for that” sort of
technical application that we lose touch with all the input coming our way that would help us
make better tactical decisions in a fight. This is a series of processes aimed at waking up all
the inner generators and receptors for fully energized presence in a conflict and in life itself.

of totality

ZAI Manifesting what is needed – To attain enlightenment as to the major questions of my

life, generating the diamond legacy of exploring highest truth, and the lotus legacy of

 ZEN Eliminating the influence of enemies – To vanish from the sight of all that is divisive
and diminishing, and rise from the dark and teeming confusion of birth and death to realize
the direct experience of unified oneness with all

MUDRA: ONGYO IN
MANTRA: ON A RA BA SHA NO-O SO WA KA

JUJI symbolizes the intention of what’s to happen - Putting intention into action. To manifest
intention in the physical realm reinforced by everything that ever was and ever will be. To
project intention out into the world with a personal signature of sorts. Focused intent
backed by everything the individual was, is, and will ever be. Represented by crosscut on
grid or in writing as 5 point star
