"Every opponent will fall to ashes by the simple presence of a true warrior"

The only true opponent for the warrior is the self.


--------------------
"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

its a black man with nothing to fall back on,
its a white man with no saving grace
its you and I...

A warrior is a humble man,
a man of statue; that doesn't
pretend to be what he isn't

"The only true opponent for the warrior is the self."

That's it exactly. And it's been my experience that warrior is the correct term and it is a war.

To Icey,
If you know your goals and limits, the 'yes' and the 'no' falls so deterministic, that one can afford to see how far your opponent will go, before he struggles by himself. Mostly experience.
Try it :wink:

Opponents may also be called everything that opposes ones state of wellbeing in a more associative way.

As Hue said, the strongest opponent may be the 'me' itself.

The term warrior in war with it's own self

There's a misunderstanding here. The war is with the false programs and herd mentality and not with the true self. The battle is to free the authentic spirit of the self so one may live as fully as possible. Can anyone say they don't have to fight for it? Effort is what I'm talking about. Effort against our inerta and fear and lazyness. Our desire to roll over and be safe at all costs.

It takes a warrior also to look nothingness and death in the face and decide to live out his or her destiny with gusto. Thats a war also.

Maybe it could be said it is a war against the illusion of a fixed self? Yes! you said a mouthful here.

So to me it now seems that I have to realize that there is no me in the first place.

Don't be too sure of this. There is a you IMO and what you must realize is that it is more than just your personality structure. You are everything that is.

Good post. You're thinking.(and feeling) :thumbup:

Yes, a war against false programming of the self... very well said, Ice.
I hope, what I say now correlates a bit, because I will speak a bit more 'freely':
As long as one struggles, one is no warrior. If one IS, then the time has come :wink:
The gimmick herein lies, as Ice said, the warrior is not dependent on any human or fact, besides the ones he chooses to be, and which he knows and can build upon.
If someone opposes his 'goals', he simply gives the 'opponent' the choice to flee or die. But if the opponent (also associative) is weak, the warrior may council a/his 'healer' and may heal him, adding him/it to ones 'army', instead of making him vanish :smile:
I think, a good warrior must also be a good healer and vice versa, else it won't work right.
:heart:

BUT, a warrior also has to re-check, re-prove and recontemplate his 'inner' and 'outer' goals for validity, achievement, necessity and of course if he is still in sync with them. Else he will get blind...and...fool (again ?) and he will lose his path, making him no warrior anymore.

Recontemplate in private (without human influence) and be sure (again) with your opponents and friends.

» Who The Cap Fit

Man to man is so unjust, children
You don't know who to trust
Your worst enemy could be your best friend
And your best friend your worst enemy

Some will eat and drink with you
Then behind them su-su 'pon you
Only your friend know your secrets
So only he could reveal it
And who the cap fit, let them wear it [repeat]
Said I throw me corn, me no call no fowl
I saying, "Cok-cok-cok, cluck-cluck-cluck"

Some will hate you, pretend they love you now
Then behind they try to eliminate you
But who JAH bless, no one curse
Thank God we're past the worse

Hypocrites and parasites
Will come up and take a bite
And if your night should turn to day
A lot of people would run away
And who the cap fit let them wear it [repeat]


--------------------
Anxiety is what you make it.

A warrior is the unorthodox killer; Is the shadow that flickers in the corner of your eye when you weren't paying attension, The razor sharp sammori that slices you to oblivion; an indivdual keen upon destruction for the pride of his heart and the anger of his mind, but is justified by the rawness of his nature and convinction of his truth.
