The benevolent warrior understands the true scope and priorities of warfare. He first defends his country, the land that shelters and feeds him, the community that houses his family.

Beyond the five manifestations of physicalness lies the second major realm of personal power — the mind and mental processes. This sixth centre of consciousness is felt in the middle of the cranial cavity, and it is traditionally associated with the area of the brow between and slightly above the eyes.
In the mystical teachings of Ninjustsu, the mind was seen as a bridge between pure consciousness and the body in which that consciousness temporarily resides.
The mind directs the energy of the physical entity into harmony with the state of the universe.
When all about you is frantic chaos, do not be absorbed by the cashing of gongs, the screams of the hysterical, or the wailing of the grievous.
Become one with the rocks that never feel the need to weep.
Become a part of the plains that never feel the need to shift about at the whim of minor happenings.
Your roots are buried deep.
Like those of the mountains.
You are not locked in that body of yours.
Your mind can soar and join other minds.
Do not be afraid, to explore, the dynamic potentiality of all things in the universe. Quest ever on.
To know, feel , and be all that you possibly can.
Become a part of the ethereal and look down upon the earth as it plays its part in the cosmos.
Tap the knowledge of the heavens to see the scheme of impersonal totality and become a part of the mind and eyes of god.
