Synopsis

One Flash of Lightning is a unique and timely interpretation of Bushido, the Samurai code of conduct. This book visits the spiritual path of self-knowledge practiced by the legendary warriors who shaped the course of Japanese history and cultural identity. The text explores Bushido's universal, timeless relevance to human nature, and humanity's ongoing quest for integrity, candor, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

One Flash of Lightning transposes the Samurai code across centuries to the modern psyche, in the common language of compassion, decency, and abiding moral strength. Stephanie JT Russell links East and West with ageless questions of our place in life-our purpose, belonging, and sense of honor-and explores the potential of full awareness and vital presence in the world.
