SERPENTS AND DOVES

The way of Ninjutsu when correctly practiced is the Art of Protection Against Danger. The weapons in your arsenal become foresight situational awareness sensory acuity and a honed intuition. These are the weapons which Gracian developed advocated and utilized in Spain against the brightest political and religious thinkers. Prudence discretion circumspection sagacity discipline and all the other attributes and qualities that Gracián encourages his reader to demonstrate are the selfsame attributes and qualities required of the shinobi. How then could Gracián's writings not be relevant to the contemporary practitioner of Ninjutsu?
