Hundreds of years in the making but finally written in the first decade of this millennium, Memoirs of a Wandering Ninja is less of an autobiography and more of an encapsulation of the lessons that seekers sought and masters taught throughout human history. Its chapters speak of stories and parables of ancient times but spoken, or rather "deciphered" for today's generation of seekers - or anyone who wishes enlightenment or a path to live their life to the fullest.
Terry Hodgkinson wrote his first book not as just as a writer but as a collector of wisdom transmitted through the ages in various cultures through the globe. A martial arts expert and meditation master, Terry's level of enlightenment helped him recognize these stories and old narratives as effective tools for modern living.
The 557-page book is a virtual journey to some of the most remote yet spiritually rich corners of the Earth. You will learn the true teachings of the ninja, samurai and Shaolin masters, and discover how they used their minds far more than their bodies. Above all things, Terry is a master in storytelling. His compelling narrative transports you to the ancient mystery schools where you peek into the minds of real masters. True to an ancient wisdom that the universe works by the numbers, Terry shares his discoveries of the Four ancient timeless insights that put you in harmony with the natural laws of the universe and the Eleven points on The Essential Path that will awaken our spiritual body. It is a manual to discover what he calls our True Self.
One of the book's many highlights is a section on "The real Matrix" which helps you understand the internal systems by which you construct your outer world. Gaining mastery of this matrix provides you with all the tools you need to reach your goals. These step by step guides are "deciphered" translations of the secret codes of the masters.
Don't be confused by the choice of Ninja in the title. It might bring to mind a picture of a hired assassin. But as the Terry explained from the start, those ruthless killers were renegade Ninjas. The true ones were enlightened people who communed with nature and lived a life of peace amidst the violent world of feudal Japan.
Aside from the manual of living, the book serves as a travelogue and offers you glimpses of a different world. Terry uses terms and stories that windows into wonderful cultures. Together with these, you realize that ancient wisdom is as relevant today as it was before.
The book is not intended to be a complete guide nor a final word. Rather, it serves as an invitation to explore deeper the paths to enlightenment and the discipline of meditation.
A sage once said that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Memoirs of a Wandering Ninja makes one realize that the book was written because we, especially in the First World, are ready for it.
