| Warrior Training Camp |
Throughout history each civilization and society has addressed the concept of “the
Warrior”. How each group and culture developed reflected the nature and essence
of their people and the beliefs that they held at that time. They were either passive
and learned to live in harmony within their environment or they were aggressive and
warlike, seeking to conquer, control and destroy all those who opposed them. Even
within cultures and smaller family units the aggressive would seek control over the
passive and submissive; the senior would dominate over the junior. As each society
developed, different classes of people were established separating the royal from
the commoners, the artisans, the farmers, the workers, the Warriors and the
Healers and Sorcerer’s.
Initially the Warrior class grew out of the sheer necessity to protect their home and
loved ones. However, driven by the force of greed and/or the need to seek to
dominate over others, a leader would rise up and lead his people, his warriors to
conquer others. History has shown that there have been several individuals whose
power, charisma and fearsome ways have won the loyalty and support of others.
Timajin, who became known as Genghis Khan after killing his father and others as
he assumed the power from them is one such example. Truly one of the greatest
Warrior-Kings who have ever lived, he took the Mongols and unified them into one
great nation with a superb and disciplined army. Hannibal, Atilla the Hun, and
Alexander the Great, are others who have gained such notoriety.
Not all those who walked the path of the Warrior found complete satisfaction from
the sheer battle alone. The time before the battle in training and preparation, the
making weapons, battle shields, armor, the time of planning, then waiting, all of
these moments leading up to the battle also brought about a sense of
accomplishment. And then there was a time to reap in the spoils of the war, looting
and pillaging, raping and taking anything and everything that they wanted.
Although the thrill of victory in the face of certain death brought the successor to
great heights, it was not always the end-all or epitome for some. Many times after
the battle, there was drinking and women and eating and laughing and bragging all
of these things were common for the warriors of their time to help them come down
from the “high” of the battle. Some of them did not like what they saw both on and
off the field of battle. The problem was that a warrior on the battlefield may have
been a great survivor, fighter, killer, but off the field he was nothing more than a
ruffian – a big bully. And, a bully deep in the core was really a coward. There was
no real culture, no sense of manners, no gentleman to be found within the ranks,
only knuckle dragging barbarians. Some found emptiness and sadness at all the
destruction that they had been a part of. Through their searching for a way to
transcend the feelings that permeated them, they found the root of their problem –
that these Warriors were unbalanced. They were a part of the problem. This
caused many to seek to find the balance, to find a sense of a higher purpose,
something else that would help them to find solace in, to find peace of mind. They
turned to spiritual advisors who taught them to seek for the inspiration by going
“within”. Through their searching they came across an incredible secret. Meditation
is one way that they found to “cool the fire” of an intense training session or battle.
There is a great force and unending source of incredible power that could be
tapped into. All they had to do was incorporate meditation and be able to hold their
mind in stillness - in the VOID, and with practice they could tap into this incredible
power that lead to great abilities.
To further refine their skills in battle, they turned to other practices. In Japan the
Samurai Warriors turned there attention to calligraphy, flower arrangement, tea
ceremony and carving as ways to further develop their skills and help them to find
and maintain the balance of Yin and Yang forces within themselves. Many turned
their destruction abilities in the opposite direction and became great healers.
In many of the ancients societies in the Orient, the Warrior learned to embrace the
religious concepts of their cultures. These included Hindu, Moslem, Tibetan,
Taoism, and the Buddhism traditions. Buddhism in China became Chan, and in
Japan it became Zen. This blending of aggression and peacefulness led to the
breeding of a new kind of man – a spiritual warrior. One famous book from the
Indian culture is the “Bhagvad gita,” and contains numerous conversations between
the Warrior Arjuna and his spiritual mentor named Krishna is an example of the
blending that I am talking about. Eventually the Warrior Arts became an interesting
paradox. Many of the greatest Warriors of their time became great healers. The
stark contrast between the Warrior and the Healer led to the development of
interesting philosophies that became the guiding principles and yielded both
practical and esoterical wisdom. These philosophies influenced the daily practices
which led to a path or way of life. Principles to base their life on, things that they
could embrace whole-heartedly in their training and develop their minds, bodies and
spirits to incredible human beings. This is the path of the Spiritual Warrior. The
greatest challenge on this path was to study hard and learn more about man in
general and themselves in particular. This is the one true battle that lasted a
lifetime and success led to self mastery.
Through proper training you can learn to develop your mind, body and spirit in such
a way that it will bring a deep sense of fulfillment. This will lead to a desire to be of
greater service to others in your own community. Daily practice will help to develop
a strong connection to spirit bringing forth a knowing that you are never alone.
When the end of this physical incarnation comes, and you pass through the
doorway of death, the path continues. You would have learned from the training
that there is life after death. Hence you will no longer fear death. You will become
fearless in you daily life and learn to be rooted in the Earth and be open to Heaven’
s glory at the same time. Together, the reality of this kind of existence brings forth
a peace of mind to live and let live.
Many people think that what I am talking about is the Martial Arts. However, most
martial arts that have developed in the West have little to nothing of the spiritual
components in their training to develop the Yin and Yang forces that lead to
balance and full development of the individual – a Spiritual Warrior.
