the old style and the wisdom style

The old style was to stand in one's own point of view, defend it against all comers, and try one's best to get the other to see it your way. The wisdom style is to maintain one's point of view while simultaneously being converted to the other's view point. This is essential for the interreligious dialogue and interconsciousness dialogue needed in a global community. Ueshiba showed the practical embodying of this in his founding of Aikido: keeping one's own center while moving with the center of another.
