Regarded with awe as masters of invisibility and \"warriors of the shadow-self,\" their legendary skills include the ability to command the elements and transform themselves into Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Void--the nothingness from which all things stem. In this book Ross Heaven reveals the training exercises and mental discipline used by the Ninja to develop these extraordinary physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual skills. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCentral to Ninja philosophy is the understanding that there is no higher power than the actualized human being. The Ninja believe there are four gates to freedom, and to pass through them we must overcome four initiatory ordeals. Succeeding at these enables us to combat fear, find true power, clarify our vision, and overcome the soul fatigue that is at the root of our personal and social problems in order to embrace our positive energies and realize our talents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRoss Heaven guides us through these four gateways with exercises and initiations that utilize the energy of the lover, seeker, magus, soul warrior, and mystic as well as dealing with their shadow manifestations that may be causing problems in our lives. We learn how to break the destructive habits of the past and create a \u003ci\u003ebushido\u003c\/i\u003e, a personal code to live by. Without initiation, we cannot access and channel our energies; they remain uncontrolled or even work against us. Ross Heaven provides the key that allows us to turn these elemental forces into allies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoss Heaven is a therapist and workshop leader in personal development and healing whose books include \u003ci\u003eVodou Shaman, Darkness Visible, Spirit in the City\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Journey to You\u003c\/i\u003e.
