There's something festering within New Age Spirituality!

Disclaimer, if you abide by some of the belief systems and premises of this philosophy, you're in for a ride through Triggerville.

Now that's out of the way, let's dig in!

I'm a big fan of the counter cultural movement of the 60s, 70s and 80s. 

Wondering what happened to the 90s, did we just complacently fall on the consumer assembly line?

In fact, my heart goes out to the Woodstock fam and stop the war in Vietnam, flowers in my head and all that jazz.

Consciousness expanding agents are one mighty tool to wrangle one's self out of the claws of socially engineered categories, big fan.

Satsangs, Vippasanas and Yoga sessions are dope.Conscious seminar, workshops and containers are awesome.

But there's something wrong with this philosophy.

Most individuals in this tribe are brilliant, carrying gifts of medicine and a heart full of love. 

But they lack mostly when it comes to practicality, groundedness, unwavering determination and a drive to perform. 

An action orientation that get's shit done.

Perhaps there's a good reason why this type of energy (The Warrior Archetype) is off-putting. 

I mean, that's the exact energy that got us through all of the sad and tragic events of the industrial age and beyond.

There's fear and resentment accumulated against it.

But this is not healthy. 

This is debilitating and cuts you off from a major power configuration of your psyche. 

(The 4 major Archetypes reference book)

It is calling you to be courageous and enter the cave (of your subconscious) to meet with the Dragon (your dormant power) and reconcile.

Wouldn't you want to be able to spread your message further and deliver your medicine to significantly more individuals desperately in need of it?

Wouldn't you want to make a significant impact, on the scale of multinational corporations?

Don't you want to preserve the jewel which is our mother Earth?

Well, than. 

You need to man the fuck up and venture courageously and boldly into the darkness. 

Face your shadows and find that within you is the same essence that drove Hitler, Stalin, Mao (insert your favorite antagonist madman and tyrant).

You need to come to terms that if you had been enlisted in the army during second world war, you would comply and execute each command. 

Yeah, you would. You're of the same cloth.

These potentials are in all of us.

And wishing it away, ignoring it and pretending it isn't there is like food for that dragon. It grows larger each day until it lashes out for the abuse and denial that you inflict upon it.

In fact, chances are that right now, as you read this, there is a feeling overcoming you that you'd wish to drown me in a glass of water.

Because I'm touching a nerve that doesn't want to be touched. And you see the irony here?

The very same thing you proclaim not to be/do/have overcomes your being and lashes out.

How's that for a cosmic joke!

So huddle up.

Whatever emotional triggers you are able to find, it's key to acknowledge their existence.

No judgement, no making it wrong, no labeling it bad, regardless if that goes against years and years of conditioning.

Just acknowledging how you're feeling and making it safe for you to feel those feelings.

These are the very clay that you'll work with and craft your very own integrated Warrior Archetype.

Consolidating the polar opposites of the Lover and the Warrior, the Loving, embracing and accepting all there is and merging it with powerful action, wanting more and taking more.

Dancing the dance of balance between the two energies is what unleashes a whole new level of being. You find pockets of energy and vigor by clearing out layers of false beliefs, anxiety and fear.

That is the true warrior, one that is lead by the heart. That's what being courageous means (Cour = Heart etymology reference).

If you made it thus far and found yourself spewing foam, feeling like I slaughtered your sacred cow.

Then you needed to read this and would level the fuck up by signing up for the next reBootCamp cohort on 8/8/22.
