🧉 Housekeeping: The doors to the Warrior100 are closing in 2 days. This Friday. Now is the time my brothers. Join us, on an initiation not soon forgotten.
There’s no shortage of crisis or tragedy we are up against right now...
You know this. I won’t name them.
Every media outlet is already happy enough to shove these down your throat every chance they get.
But there’s something more pernicious underway…
A true global tragedy is occurring: the death of ASPIRATION and INSPIRATION.
We have lost the sacred fire in our hearts. The belief that a more beautiful world is possible is dwindling. The willingness to be a force for change is eroding before our eyes.
You might feel the same…
When did I let go of the desire to be as strong and aesthetic as the Greek Gods?
When did I stop dreaming about being as disciplined as the Shaolin Monks?
When did I sacrifice the ideal of the Renaissance Man on the altar of practicality?
When did I stop pursuing the immaculate virtues of the Religious Avatars?
When did I drift away from pursuing the awakenings of the Buddhist Masters?
When did I accept that being immersed in brotherhood and sisterhood just wasn't for me?
When did I lose the belief that I could make a lasting difference in the world, or in my own life?
When did I stop believing that these were possible for ME?
… when did I let my dreams die?
It happens slowly, over time.
The entropy of ideals.
But NO LONGER.
I will not be a victim of this plague.
This is where I make my stand. I will die for this.
This is a battle for the playful imagination of humanity – the true engine of evolution.
It is a war of consciousness.
The battlefield is our everyday lives. Every moment I make my move.
The victories are won against my inner critic, the closing of my heart, the dampening of my spirit, and the loss of my purpose and passion.
NO LONGER.
But it’s hard. Believe me, I know.
I am my own worst enemy. My shadows are my most skilled opponents.
For as powerful as I am, I have the equal force to hold myself back. To bite my tongue, to go against my values, to be a force of destruction instead of creation, to accept the lowest common denominator as my baseline.
The only true battle is in the hearts and minds of every individual.
In YOU.
I know this is a challenge from Life. A sacred opportunity. My deepest wisdom gives me the obstacles I need to become great.
I will become a living, breathing example of the beauty, strength, heart, and imagination of humanity.
My life is my message.
In the transformative fires of self-initiation, I forge my character.
This is the WARRIOR SPIRIT.
The vitalizing, activating life force of peoples, cultures, and ideas. It brings purpose, focus, integrity, and vitality to your life.
Nearly two years ago I published this article, The Creative Evolution Manifesto. I want to share it again with you now.
"There’s a way to do it differently…"
It’s not primitive. It’s progressive.
It’s artful. Thoughtful. Playful. Mindful.
It’s possible.
So, what does it look like?
All of it.
Financial systems. Materials Economy. Culture. Governance. Civilization.
Top down control is unnatural.
Emergence is not chaos. It’s creative evolution.
The answer isn’t a sound bite. It’s not a binary option. It can’t be bottled up. It's a living thesis, a disciplined pursuit.
It’s a Way of Being; your life is your answer.
You can’t rush genius.
True mastery is cultivated. Only friction creates sparks.
So please, sit, have some tea.
Any answer worth hearing is not over quickly.
But I’m listening. I want your best response. Show me your School of Thought. Embody your Answer.
Bring your best, because you know I’ve been training.
Welcome to the Dojo, partner. ⛩
And here it is, in living reality, manifested and materialized from the echoes of inspiration bouncing through the caverns of the collective unconscious…
If you feel as I feel, if you seek as I seek, join us.
The Warrior100 will initiate you into this greatness. This is my promise to you.
It will rekindle your purpose. Stoke the fires of your heart. Ignite the inferno of your greatness once again.
Reclaim your ASPIRATION.
Pursue your INSPIRATION.
Become a living LEGEND.
Doors are closing TOMORROW — FRIDAY, AUGUST 25.
Use ‘SERIOUSPLAY’ and we’ll jump into an accountability group together and do this experience side-by-side, united as one.
HOOAH. 🔥 EB.
