I’d like to start out by saying that The Intuitive Warrior (TIW) is enjoying worldwide popularity. Website visits at this site are now showing 70 different countries all over the world. Visits have increased from an average of 300 visits per month at the start of the website in the middle of October for the month to over 1000 last month. Since the book release in March visits have been increasing on a weekly basis of 20% and rising.

Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders books, Tower Books and many other book companies are selling the book all over the world. TIW is hitting the top of the best seller lists all over the world in several diverse categories including: Military/History/Strategy, Mind/Body/Spirit, Self-Help/Transformation & Self-Help/Personal Growth.

While I felt certain that many would find TIW to be entertaining and of benefit across a broad spectrum, I am learning that is reaching a far more diverse audience than I ever imagined. The following idea was brought to my attention by the publicist that was assigned to me by my book company http://www.bookpros.com/to help in my book campaign. Normally I would be on my on by now but my book company opted to continue the promotion a little longer. Could be another good sign for TIW and for humanity as a whole.

Other interesting developments are that I was just recently contacted by a movie producer from LA that was really moved by TIW and interested in the making the book into a movie. I felt/intuited all along the TIW would be made into a movie. It will be interesting to see how it eventually turns out.

Now on to the article…..

Please note that you can discount meditation and intuition as unnecessary but that would limit and inhibit your evolvement into the best that you can be. After over thirty years as a warrior in one aspect or another, often at the top of the food chain, I can honestly say that if I had never learned meditation and learned to listen to my intuition I would absolutely, many time over, not be alive today. Not only am I alive, but I’m at the best level at almost 50 years old than I have ever been, in many different aspects of my life.

Also you do not have to be a warrior per say to gather a wealth of information from the following. We all move through the archetype of the warrior at some point in our evolution as human beings. The masters at the other side of the warrior archetype are the true leaders of our world.

I’ll let you read the following excellent article first and then I will follow up with my own take. I’ll also script out a meditation that anyone can follow.

Should Marines be trained to meditate?

Mindfulness training—the technique of bringing full attention to present experience and holding it without judgment or emotional engagement, and returning to the present each time the mind wanders—could offer soldiers protection from post-traumatic stress and other anxiety disorders. It might provide clarity of thinking needed for soldiers fighting in challenging and ambiguous counterinsurgency zones. (Credit: iStockphoto)

U. PENN (US)—Just as physical conditioning, weapons training, and fighting skills prepare soldiers for the rigors of combat, meditation practice may give them the mental capacity to withstand the trauma of war.

Amishi Jha, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, is investigating how brain functions can be improved with exercises like stress reduction, mindfulness training, and long-term meditation practices.

Mindfulness training is the technique of deliberately bringing full attention to present experience and holding it there moment to moment, without judgment or emotional engagement, and returning to the present each time the mind wanders.

The clinical value of meditation practice for treating physical and psychological disorders is widely recognized, Jha says. There are more than 250 U.S. medical centers offering mindfulness-based stress-reduction programs.

To investigate the protective effects of mindfulness practices on soldiers, Jha and Elizabeth Stanley, assistant professor of security studies at Georgetown University, provided mindfulness training to Marines preparing for deployment in Iraq. Their findings were published in the journal Emotion and featured inJoint Force Quarterly, the advisory journal of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The training was given to one group of 31 soldiers but not to a control group of 17. In the months prior to deployment, soldiers undergo intense training for physical endurance and mission-critical operational skills, as well as “stress-inoculation” training, which helps habituate them to the extreme mental rigors of combat.

During this period, Jha and Stanley provided the Marines with mindfulness-based mind fitness training, which helped them cope with the pre-deployment training and the stresses of leaving family to face the uncertainties of war.

The eight-week program used mindfulness exercises like focused attention on the breath and mindful movement. Participants kept track of the time they practiced the formal meditation exercises outside the classroom.

Jha evaluated the protective influence of the mindfulness training on working memory and the ability of Marines to regulate emotion. “Our findings suggest that, just as daily physical exercise leads to physical fitness, engaging in mindfulness exercises on a regular basis may improve mind-fitness,” she says.

“Working memory is an important feature of mind-fitness. Not only does it safeguard against distraction and emotional reactivity, but it also provides a mental workspace to ensure quick and considered decisions and action plans.”

Mindfulness training, the researchers suggest, could offer some protection to combatants from post-traumatic stress and other anxiety disorders, and it might provide the clarity of thinking needed for soldiers fighting in challenging and ambiguous counterinsurgency zones.

“Building mind-fitness with mindfulness training may help anyone who must maintain peak performance in the face of extremely stressful circumstances,” Jha contends, “from first responders, relief workers and trauma surgeons, to professional and Olympic athletes.”

So just as the excellent article above states, meditation is an effective tool not only for a more efficient warrior but also for releaving many of the stresses the cause Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. I have mentioned this in TIW and it is great to see a scientific study validating what is already obvious.

I will go further and say that as you learn to meditate you open up the pathway to intuition. The intuition needs for the mind to be quiet for only a fraction of time to come through.

Why is this not taught? Because of a system that is locked in the analytical side of the brain or right hemisphere. The meditative stress reducing, intuitive, creative side of the brain is the left hemisphere. The left hemisphere is traditionally ignored in every aspect of our society.

To break down this barrier the simplest, most efficient way to activate your intuition is learning to meditate on a daily basis. As you meditate you quiet the right brain enough so that the intuitive left brain can come through. Your higher-self or intuitive abilities come through this channel and bring through the information you need to accomplish your life purpose. If you have anxiety in your life or feel directionless then the intuitive side will get you back on purpose.

Let me give you an example of a meditation that I use to teach others how to tap this intuitive side of the brain.

You can follow this sequence yourself, have someone read it to you, and or record it and use it over and over.

Begin by taking a deep breath and holding it. Imagine all the tension and stress throughout your body building up as you hold your breath for several seconds.

Let out your breath in a rush and feel your entire body relax. Quite your mind and enjoy this moment.

Do this process once more. Tale in the breath, hold it for several seconds building up the tension, then let it all out. You are even more relaxed. Enjoy this moment.

Start by holding your awareness on both of your feet. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your feet 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath rapidly and let all the tension go out of your feet. Enjoy the moment of relaxation and empty your mind. Focus on nothing but your breath.

Move your awareness up to the calves. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your calves 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your calves. Enjoy the moment. Focus on the breath.

Move your awareness up to the knees. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your knees 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your knees. Enjoy the moment.

Move your awareness up to the thighs. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your thighs 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your thighs. Enjoy the moment.

Move your awareness up to the hips and groin area. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your hips and groin area 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your hips and groin area. Enjoy the moment.

Move your awareness up to the abdominal area and lower back. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your abs and lower back 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your abs and lower back. Enjoy the moment. If the mind starts to wander bring it gently back to the breath.

Move your awareness up to the chest and upper back. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your chest and upper back 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your chest and upper back. Enjoy the moment.

Move your awareness to the arms and hands. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your arms and hands 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your arms and hands. Enjoy the moment.

Move your awareness up to the shoulders and neck. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your shoulders and neck 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your shoulders and neck. Enjoy the moment.

Move your awareness up to the face, eyes and scalp. Take in a deep breath and hold it. Tense your face, eyes and scalp 100 % for several seconds. Let out your breath and let all the tension go out of your face, eyes and scalp. Enjoy the moment.

Now move your awareness to your heart. Imagine your heart breathing. As you intake breath imagine your heart inhaling. Hold the breath for several seconds and imagine your heart filled with the most powerful energy in the universe, Love. As you exhale imagine this love going out into the environment and going where it is needed unconditionally. Continue for several breaths.

With your focus still on your heart as you breath in and out the love split your focus to the center of your brain right behind the eyes. Keep your eyes soft but have your awareness on your pineal gland and heart at the same time as you breath in and out the love through both the heart and the pineal gland that sits between and connects both hemispheres of the brain. Continue for several breaths.

Now relax and just be still with no thought as you focus on no-thing but the breath for several breaths. You are now in the intuitive state…..

That’s it! Simple meditation but if you practice this everyday for at least 21 days straight you will build a habit that will last the rest of your life. You will eventually only need think of the breath coming in and out filled with love connecting the heart and pineal gland and you will be instantly in the intuitive zone. Whether you have bombs going off around you, people shooting at you, babies choking, semester exams or the question does this outfit make me look fat, you will be able to handle them all with grace and perfection once you learn how to go instantly to the intuitive state.

When I was a SEAL before we went on a long underwater dive with our re-breathers for hours at a time, we would mess with each other by singing an outdated song. Often an old disco tune that would play over and over in our heads to our personal consternation and the glee to those that had implanted the broken record in our consciousness.

I will leave you with a song that is not irritating but one that is always playing in my head when I’m overseas in combat zones. For those of you that have been following my posts you will know that my groups have not been attacked for several years. I attribute that success to holding the thoughts of love and projecting them out. Very similar to the meditation above in fact. So here’s a song that plays in my head often and that I hope many of you adopt if only occasionally.

Nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do, but you can learn
How to be you in time -
It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

I just completed an interview with an excellent web site devoted to martial arts development. A Robert Downy Jr. interview is profiled on the site as well as many other excellent articles and youtube videos.

Chris Marshall
Martial Development
www.martialdevelopment.com

1. With more than two decades of service in the elite Navy SEALs, you have earned the right to describe yourself as a warrior. How do you prefer to define the term? (Do you think it should be reserved for those in the military, for example?)

2. The history of martial arts is seasoned with reports of extraordinary intuitive or psychic skills. They are often dismissed as exaggerations, if not outright frauds, by members of the martial arts and scientific communities today. How have your friends, acquaintances and co-workers reacted to the personal stories you recount in the book? Do SEALS have a different perspective on this topic than the general public, which is apparently biased towards doubt and ridicule?

I wanted to share with everyone that visits the site a new comment from a frequent poster. If you haven’t been looking at the ‘Go to comments’ link at the beginning and end of each post I highly recommend it. Please do so because you will always get far more from this site if you become more proactive. I am a simple vessel doing everything at times in my power to share with others how we as a collective can change not only our lives in a dramatic and profound way but also end war as we know it. Imagine what our world will be like with no war.

First of all lets look at where the book The Intuitive Warrior (TIW) is at.

Currently Amazon sells the book in many countries throughout the world. You can track the sells of a book by scrolling down and looking for the ‘Amazon.com Sales Rank’ which will give you an indicater of how many people are purchasing a book at any one time. Amazon is being recognized by the book industry as the leading indicator of book sales. Top sellers in a particular category such as Books > History > Military > Strategy under which TIW currently falls will give you a list of ranked books by that particular category. On a given day  or sometimes by the minute, you can watch and see the ranking numbers fluxuate up and down. Books that are doing well in sales will be ranked towards the top of a given group.

I have watched over the month and a half since the release of TIW that The Art of War remains in the top category not just in the US but all over the world in most cases. For those of you that have read TIW you know that it is a book that entertains, educates and guides the reader to a positive transformation of self and for potentially humanity as a whole. For this to occur on a wider scale we must take a look at what our focus is. Whatever our focus is as an individual and as a group is what we will manifest as quantum physics has proven.

The Art of War was obviously a very influential book in it’s day and which apparently still has a great influence in this day and age as well. When I think, speak and write of art I am focused on the perfecting of a particular aspect of life. Which direction this perfecting process proceeds is up to the individual at one level but also ultimately as a mass consciousness.  When most of us think of art we think of paintings such as The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci. Lets look at this one aspect of art and see that it was not always revered as a great work of art as it is today.

Damage and restorations

As early as 1517 the painting was starting to flake. By 1556—less than sixty years after it was finished — Leonardo’s biographer Giorgio Vasari described the painting as already “ruined” and so deteriorated that the figures were unrecognizable. In 1652 a doorway was cut through the (then unrecognisable) painting, and later bricked up; this can still be seen as the irregular arch shaped structure near the center base of the painting. It is believed, through early copies, that Jesus’ feet were in a position symbolizing the forthcoming crucifixion. In 1768 a curtain was hung over the painting for the purpose of protection; it instead trapped moisture on the surface, and whenever the curtain was pulled back, it scratched the flaking paint.

A first restoration was attempted in 1726 by Michelangelo Bellotti, who filled in missing sections with oil paint then varnished the whole mural. This repair did not last well and another restoration was attempted in 1770 by Giuseppe Mazza. Mazza stripped off Bellotti’s work then largely repainted the painting; he had redone all but three faces when he was halted due to public outrage. In 1796 French troops used the refectory as an armory; they threw stones at the painting and climbed ladders to scratch out the Apostles’ eyes. The refectory was then later used as a prison; it is not known if any of the prisoners may have damaged the painting. In 1821 Stefano Barezzi, an expert in removing whole frescoes from their walls intact, was called in to remove the painting to a safer location; he badly damaged the centre section before realizing that Leonardo’s work was not a fresco. Barezzi then attempted to reattach damaged sections with glue. From 1901 to 1908, Luigi Cavenaghi first completed a careful study of the structure of the painting, then began cleaning it. In 1924 Oreste Silvestri did further cleaning, and stabilised some parts with stucco.

A protective structure was built in front of the da Vinci wall fresco. This photo shows the bombing damage in 1943, suggesting the magnitude of the greater damage which was averted.

During World War II, on August 15, 1943, the refectory was struck by a bomb; protective sandbagging prevented the painting from being struck by bomb splinters, but it may have been damaged further by the vibration. From 1951 to 1954 another clean-and-stabilise restoration was undertaken by Mauro Pelliccioli.

So as you can see Art is relative to humanity.

Lets look at the definition of art:

Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.

So from the definition and from the example of The Last Supper we can surmise that art can be whatever we as a collective decide it is going to be.

Lets look at the beginning of the Art of War and what the author Lao Tzu says about how to develop the art of war.

Sun Tzu Wu was a native of the Ch`i State. His ART OF WAR brought him to the notice of Ho Lu, King of Wu. Ho Lu said to him: “I have carefully perused your 13 chapters. May I submit your theory of managing soldiers to a slight test?”

Sun Tzu replied: “You may.”

Ho Lu asked: “May the test be applied to women?”

The answer was again in the affirmative, so arrangements were made to bring 180 ladies out of the Palace. Sun Tzu divided them into two companies, and placed one of the King’s favorite concubines at the head of each. He then bade them all take spears in their hands, and addressed them thus: “I presume you know the difference between front and back, right hand and left hand?”

The girls replied: Yes.

Sun Tzu went on: “When I say “Eyes front,” you must look straight ahead. When I say “Left turn,” you must face towards your left hand. When I say “Right turn,” you must face towards your right hand. When I say “About turn,” you must face right round towards your back.”

Again the girls assented. The words of command having been thus explained, he set up the halberds and battle-axes in order to begin the drill. Then, to the sound of drums, he gave the order “Right turn.” But the girls only burst out laughing. Sun Tzu said: “If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame.”

So he started drilling them again, and this time gave the order “Left turn,” whereupon the girls once more burst into fits of laughter. Sun Tzu: “If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, the general is to blame. But if his orders ARE clear, and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers.”

So saying, he ordered the leaders of the two companies to be beheaded. Now the king of Wu was watching the scene from the top of a raised pavilion; and when he saw that his favorite concubines were about to be executed, he was greatly alarmed and hurriedly sent down the following message: “We are now quite satisfied as to our general’s ability to handle troops. If We are bereft of these two concubines, our meat and drink will lose their savor. It is our wish that they shall not be beheaded.”

Sun Tzu replied: “Having once received His Majesty’s commission to be the general of his forces, there are certain commands of His Majesty which, acting in that capacity, I am unable to accept.”

Accordingly, he had the two leaders beheaded, and straightway installed the pair next in order as leaders in their place.

When this had been done, the drum was sounded for the drill once more; and the girls went through all the evolutions, turning to the right or to the left, marching ahead or wheeling back, kneeling or standing, with perfect accuracy and precision, not venturing to utter a sound. Then Sun Tzu sent a messenger to the King saying: “Your soldiers, Sire, are now properly drilled and disciplined, and ready for your majesty’s inspection. They can be put to any use that their sovereign may desire; bid them go through fire and water, and they will not disobey.”

But the King replied: “Let our general cease drilling and return to camp. As for us, We have no wish to come down and inspect the troops.”

Thereupon Sun Tzu said: “The King is only fond of words, and cannot translate them into deeds.”

After that, Ho Lu saw that Sun Tzu was one who knew how to handle an army, and finally appointed him general. In the west, he defeated the Ch`u State and forced his way into Ying, the capital; to the north he put fear into the States of Ch`i and Chin, and spread his fame abroad amongst the feudal princes. And Sun Tzu shared in the might of the King.

So as we see in the above highlighted portion of Art of War we are not speaking as I said above: “positive transformation of self and for potentially humanity as a whole” are we? If you have ever read as I have The Art of War you know that it is very much a blueprint for conducting successful war if utilized as stated.

Is this where we want to remain as a collective? I have said many times to friends that have read TIW that if we see the day when TIW supplants The Art of War from the top spot for an extended period of time we will see a transformation in humanity for which I speak.

How will this happen? It will only happen if those that have read the book refer it to others and they in turn refer to others and so on. I have seen this trend happening albeit slowly at first, it seems to be gathering momentum as with a wave that gathers momentum with the incoming tide. It has a peak and then a trough. The peaks or sales rankings are gathering momentum and are reaching new hights as time progresses. Check the Sales Ranking from time to time to see the progress. Will we as a collective continue to be influenced by a dark book about war or one that leads us to the light?

Let me share with you a comment now that shows a completely different story from the Art of War.

Great post Gerald. Your graciousness also models class and another way to behave to those who choose rudeness. Some will get it, some won’t, but you’re doing the most positive thing and that’s what you can control. Well done.

Say, on a related note; I know you’re studying Michael’s book very intently. Here’s a “one-sheet” synopsis of ideas that I pulled out from the book that just gives me a reminder of what I found were significant points. Hope it’s useful.

• All possess extraordinary capabilities

• Mental scan – intuition

• Mental discipline in the moment

• Does not shrink from challenge

• Move into higher state of mental capability at will

• Alpha state – clear mind, landmark

• Offensive mindset – positive language

• Make them adjust to you

• Strong intention

• Use and direct strong emotions (EI taken to next level)

• Direct stress into a useful form

• Relaxed and Higher states of consciousness can be tapped: always just below our everyday     hectic world

• Focus under stress

• You are not your mind but something much greater. A disciplined mind can focus our thoughts.

• Intuition is achieved by 3rd eye development.

• Consciously develop telepathic communication.

• The power of thoughts; choose wisely because you can influence the outcome of events.

• All of our power is in the now moment

• Don’t let ego run the show

• Change negative outcomes from the heart

• Creative ability with intense discipline creates a superwarrior

• Inner calm to process information

• Balanced and focused to where nothing upsets me (99)

• Connect with your own internal energy

• Creative intuitive thought to overcome insurmountable obstacles

• Eliminate fear and break the pattern of limiting belief systems

• Love is energy that attracts; fear repels

• Ego wants comfort. Fasting teaches you control over your body.

• Control ego, control mind, direct your thoughts to positive outcomes

• Intuitive brain wave patterns – incredible endurance

• Internal calm – focus – explode

• Focus thoughts on exclusively what you want – take action

• Always have offensive attitude and hit targets

• Think, speak and act positively

• Appreciate every moment

• Push through the pain

• Applied kinesiology – influencing world with thoughts and actions (personal influence/power)

• Push through the ego’s mind tricks (Take control of your mind)

• Be comfortable in discomfort

• Send Love

Take care all – and keep up the momentum!!!!!

If you’ve made it this far in the post I feel quite certain that you are within the growing majority of people that are seeing The Intuitive Warrior as an alternative to The Art of War (AOW).

Again as a humble vessel that is doing everything in my own power to get this information out to as many as possible I cannot do it alone. Personally I have spent a small fortune in having this book published and distributed. I took on this endeavour fully knowing that I may never receive back what I put into it. I did this because I believe in humanity and that if given the right tool and message that we can find our way out of the dark thoughts that have trapped us for thousands of years. Humanity as a collective will decide if TIW becomes the new way or ART of TIW or if we continue with the AOW.

I’m currently overseas spreading the art of TIW and no attacks have happened in my locations as I’ve learned to influence my surroundings with the thought of love projected out. I have been doing this for years now. It is a learnable skill that we are all capable of and that a select few could be trained to a very great level at doing. A potential new type of Special Warrior. Imagine a future army that will come into a location and stop all conflict and heal an environment without firing a shot. I have created it but I am but one. Who will join me?

I have planned two more books to follow TIW that will go into great detail how this process has evolved over time within me. These next two books have the potential to transform just as TIW does. But they will not go forth and less the call from humanity brings them forth.

I await that call with great anticipation as I watch for TIW to replace AOW at the top.

*Update* 4/28/10

Two days after this post The Intuitive Warrior (TIW) made the #1 spot on Amazon Germany! Thanks and congratulations to everyone in Germany for making the transition from War to Intuition. Many things can be read into Germany being the first to take TIW to #1. Currently TIW is #2 and holding in US.

I have been aware for some time of a great shift in the mindset of most warriors. This shift was very subtle just a few years ago but has gained tremendous energy over the last year.

This transition is one of war being conducted with little regard for the use of violence perpetrated on others in the name of combat to one of a desire to limit use of force.

This transition is happening at a grass roots level and is beginning to have an impact on how missions are conducted. Many leaders in combat operations and the actual troops in the front lines are becoming more assertive in choosing surgical operations as opposed to indiscriminate elimination of enemy combatants and their environment.

A case in point is the use of precision-fired weapons from drones in the tribal areas of Pakistan to eliminate known Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders. These strikes are highly effective because they actually look for and identify targets as opposed to the Pakistan militaries, which pulls up with artillery and indiscriminately shells and drops bombs from aircraft on whole villages. When the Pakistan military shows up hundreds of thousands of people evacuate their cities. Since this indiscriminate assault on extremism in Pakistan the number of terrorist attacks throughout the region has risen dramatically. The once peaceful Pakistan is now the country with by far the most terrorist attacks in the world. While the rooting out of terrorism is long over due the method is incorrect and brutal and is spawning even more terrorism.

While the taking of lives is unfortunate on any level the use of precision weapons and tactics are essential to transition out of all out war Genghis Khan style. This type of warfare has never been correct but is especially reprehensible and counterintuitive.

For American troops and their European allies that have been fighting wars in two countries for almost 10 years now the natural evolution is away from total war to precision war to no war at all.

The way out for the warrior is through intuition. Intuitive inspired ideas of warfare that are inspired from the heart and right side or intuitive side of the brain. I hear many people in combat zones speak of how it is imperative not to inflict casualties against the populace. This is because it has been a proven instigator of retaliation from the locals. I remember a few years back in Kabul, Afghanistan when a US Army vehicle patrol that was moving through the city became overly aggressive moving through a market area and ended up running over several people and killing them. I have seen some of these patrols in Iraq and Afghanistan where the vehicle patrols drive through the city as if everyone they see is a threat and are aggressive to the point of being unsafe. I have driven around these patrols before and feel they are a bigger threat at times than the actual terrorists. In this one instance where people were killed in Afghanistan there had been no terrorist attacks in the city of Kabul for almost two years so there was no reason for an aggressive posture. Instead of apologizing and making monetary restitutions to the families, which is customary in this area of the world, in a counterintuitive move the US military denied any wrong doing and did nothing. This caused several demonstrations throughout the city, which were eventually quelled and life seemed to go back to normal after about a week after the incident.

To me there was no doubt that there would be a price to be paid for this wrongfully perceived or in reality a true injustice. Within the next month in this once peaceful city a US military convoy was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED) that killed several soldiers. None of them had been involved in the accident that had killed several civilians a little over a month prior. Innocent that had been killed by one group in turn had innocent killed. No trace was ever found to any responsible group.

Over the last year I have noticed the kind of aggressiveness that used to spawn this type of attack have decreased. Troops are still alert for danger and attacks still happen but there incidence has rapidly decreased. The marines that took down a Taliban stronghold of Marjah in Afghanistan did it with precision and few casualties were experienced by the marines and fortunately by civilians. The leading NATO commander General Stanly McChrystal immediately apologized to Afghan President Karzai. The US military always has a fund set aside that is utilized to make restitutions for events where there is a responsibility assumed for making restitutions. Often this is nothing more than providing the surviving family members with anywhere from one hundred to a couple thousand dollars for damages to property or life. Several billion people throughout the world earn less than two dollars a day so this is ample compensation. A similar rate of compensation would be provided to wrongful death or property loss anywhere else in the civilized world. I’m sure this was provided to the families that lost people.

I have been approached by many people warriors included that have told me they were inspired that it could be possible that a former military man and someone currently involved in war zones could tap into their intuition and make a positive difference. I feel that we as a collective are seeing the transition unfold as more warriors approach me and share with me their own intuitive experiences and how they have made a difference in keeping people safe and avoiding conflict.

I have had many young men that were turned off by war say that I have given them hope that they two could make a difference by using their own intuitive abilities and were joining the military and going into special forces. I think this will cause the shift to accelerate even more.

As a collective humanity is going through a shift, a shift from one of war that is not only happening externally but also one that is internal and manifesting externally, to one of intuitive war. When this intuitive state is reached internally it will translate into the external world. This collective shift to an intuitive warrior or to a peaceful warrior as in the one made famous in “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Millman by Dan Millman where the main character was transformed from inner conflict to peace is happening among war fighters on an increasingly spontaneous basis.

Now if we can get the politicians and elite of the world to join in we will truly have peace on earth and good will to all. I believe the only way for that to happen is to lead by example. If we lead ourselves through intuition instead of being led at the whim and self serving ideals of others we will end war, external and internal, as we have known it for thousands of years.

Book Review of the Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self – Mastery by Don Miguel Ruiz and Don Jose Ruiz

When I read the Four Agreements many years ago it transformed my life in many ways through its wonderful wisdom. Now with the release of the Fifth Agreement the authors have released the next step in transformation. We are living out lives through the agreements we have made internally with ourselves. Many of these agreements the authors point out are lies that we have been led to believe in.

When we take control of our own lives we begin the transformation away from being controlled through these agreements. Our development towards self-mastery is accelerated from stagnant self-torture to one of awakening joy and transformation.

By learning discernment of the truth, symbols or words and our interpretation or our acceptance of someone else’s interpretation we can reach self-mastery. A quote from the book illustrates this point well:

“ The Truth leads to self-mastery, to a life that’s very easy; our distortion of the truth often leads to needless conflict and human suffering. Awareness makes all the difference.”

My favorite chapter in the book is # 10:

The Dream Of The Second Attention

The Warriors

The authors speak of how once we become aware that we don’t like the way we are living we declare war on all the lies in our knowledge. We are not at war with other people but the war is in our minds. “ It’s a war against the part of our mind that makes all the choices that guide us into our personal hell. It’s a war between the authentic self and what we call the tyrant, the big judge, the book of law, the belief system.” The authors also call this “the war of the gods because all these ideas fight for dominion of the human mind. And just like the gods of antiquity, they claim a human sacrifice.”

All of the war and violence outside of us is the result of this need for a human sacrifice. The war doesn’t just happen in foreign countries but also in our cities with gangs and in our homes with domestic violence. We punish ourselves in our minds through self-judgment a thousand times over in an endless repeating cycle and then project that into external judgment and punishment of others.

By using the Five Agreements we can recover who we truly are and once you recover this awareness the war is over.

“The next dream, the dream of the third attention (The Masters), is not that far away. But first you have to win the war in your head, and now you have the tools to do it. Then why not do it? Take the action, but don’t try anymore. If you try, you will die trying, and I can assure you that millions of warriors have died trying. There are very few warriors who ever win the war that’s happening in the human mind, but those who win the war by using their attention a second time recreate their entire world.”

The authors call our world a dream world that we create moment by moment. To move to the level of mastery we must first master the warrior.

I’ll leave my review of this powerful transformative book with one last quote that serves to illustrate exactly what I’m trying to convey in The Intuitive Warrior.

“The masters are former warriors. They have won their personal war, and they are at peace. The dream of the masters is a dream of truth, a dream of respect, a dream full of love and joy. It’s the playground of life; it’s what we are meant to live, and only awareness can take us to that place.

The First Agreement: Be Impeccable with Your Word

The Second Agreement: Don’t Take Anything Personally

The Third Agreement: Don’t Make Assumptions

The Fourth Agreement: Always Do Your Best

The Fifth Agreement: Be Skeptical, but Learn to Listen

Movie Review of Clash of the Titans

Clash of the Titans is a 2010 fantasy film and remake of the 1981 film of the same name, as noted in the credits. As with the 1981 film, the story is very loosely based upon the Greek myth of Perseus. Directed by Louis Leterrier and starring Sam Worthington, the film was originally set for standard release on March 26, 2010. However, it was later announced that the film would be converted to 3D and was finally released on April 2, 2010.

This was an action packed fantasy movie that kept you on the edge of your seat for the whole show. The special effects were seamless and have really reached a high degree of realism in this movie. We barely got a seat in the theatre as it was a new release and everybody seemed to be attracted to this movie. I thought the story line was interesting, flowed well and the acting was excellent.

I’m actually pleased to see the interest in ancient Greek stories of Love versus evil coming into mainstream focus like this. I believe that many of the ancient mystery schools taught information in levels and through parables. You could see a picture or hear a story and depending on your level of initiation or degree of enlightenment you would get something different that entertained and taught according to your understanding.

This film and story line a very similar to this process. On one hand you can be entertained by the action events and special effects throughout the movie and on another you can see a deeper mystery and drama unfolding.

The battle between the love of God, family, warriors and mates is countered with the battle of fear. Both love and fear are always vying for our own personal power. The choice is ours, which one we choose to rule us as both present challenges and obstacles.

Overall a fantastic movie and a five star rating. A movie you can watch many times and get more out of each time. Do you feel that you would have the courage and intuitive ability to face Medusa and possibly be turned to stone? Could you face your fears and conquer them like the warrior Perseus? The alternative is a life without love and one filled with fear. “Release the Kraken!”

Mastering the physical body is one of the steps to self-mastery and greater intuitive abilities as I discuss in The Intuitive Warrior. Whatever your physical condition you can always benefit from sets of calisthenics. While in the SEAL teams I was honored to lead many PT (Physical Training) evolutions at several different commands. The toughest PT’s that I ever did were the ones I personally led while an instructor in the first phase of BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) training.

At the upper end of our PT schedule we were doing hundreds and in the case of curl-ups over a thousand repetitions (reps). While on the podium in front of the students your form and complete execution of every rep had to be perfect and flawless as an example to follow.

After leaving BUD/S I continued using calisthenic exercises to supplement my regular workout routine and still use them to this day after over 30 years since I first learned them in my own BUD/S training class.

These exercises are well rounded and work the entire body and can be used at anytime. Just after waking in the morning before your regular workout, or as your primary workout if you are traveling and don’t have access to a gym.

Do these exercises all together one after the other. You can vary your rest time between each set of exercises from a few seconds to up to a minute or more depending on your conditioning or how many reps you are doing for each set.

At first do all 8 exercises for 8 reps each. That will represent your foundation from which to work from. If you need lots of rest between each set at first or your form is a little weak, work on shortening your subsequent workout times and tightening up your form a little more strict or perfect before moving on to more reps.

After you have created your foundation you can increase your reps in pyramid fashion. For instance do one full cycle of all 8 exercises followed by another set of 16 exercises each. The next set if you are ready or fit enough could be 24 reps each and so on until you reach a peak and then you decrease in the same fashion by 8 reps. So if your peak or top of the pyramid is 24 reps then the descending reps would be 16 reps for a set followed by your last 8 reps.

The way I get the most out of this type of exercise is to have the jumping jacks as my warm-up exercise for 8 or 16 reps and then increase the core 6 exercises by a pyramidal structure and then wrap up with the body-builders for 8 or 16 exercises.

The 8 exercises I would recommend for full body development and maintenance would be:

1 – Jumping Jacks

2 – Push-ups

3 – Curl-ups

4 – Abdominal Crunches

5 – Oblique Crunches left & Right

6 – Lying Leg Raises

7 – Squats

8 – 8 Count body-builders

Here are the exercises in step-by-step format.

Form is very important in any exercise to prevent injury or strains so don’t rush into high repetitions until you have good form. Also don’t sacrifice form for repetitions, as this is a common cause of injury in advanced athletes as many will attest.

Caution- If you are just beginning exercise for the first time or after a long period of no exercise, always consult with a physician first before beginning any new training program.

Exercise 1- Jumping Jacks

Most calisthenic exercises are staples of school gym classes and boot camps, but that doesn’t mean they’re outdated. Most, like jumping jacks, are still excellent ways to get into shape. Jumping jacks work your shoulders, back, thighs and calves. They’re also good for your heart. The following steps will take you through this exercise.

Step 1 - Begin by standing with your feet together and arms at your sides. Tighten your abdominal muscles to pull your pelvis forward and take the curve out of your lower back.

Step 2 - Bend your knees and jump, moving your feet apart until they are wider than your shoulders. At the same time, raise your arms over your head. You should be on the balls of your feet.

Step 3 – Keep your knees bent while you jump again, bringing your feet together and your arms back to your sides. At the end of the movement, your weight should be on your heels.

Step 4 – Repeat the exercise, working in sets and resting briefly in between. As you become more fit, perform jumping jacks faster and for a certain length of time rather than in sets.

Exercise 2 – Push-ups

Push-ups aren’t just for buff Navy SEAL’s; they are a great upper body, low-cost exercise. If you’re just looking to tone up or gain strength but not too much mass, push-ups are a great exercise. The best thing is you don’t have to go to the gym to do them; you can do them at home!

Here’s the proper way to do push-ups anywhere for anyone.

Step 1 – Lie chest-down with your hands at shoulder level, palms flat on the floor and slightly more than shoulder-width apart, and your feet together and parallel to each other.

Step 2 - Look forward rather than down at the floor. The first contact you make with the floor with any part of the face should be your chin, not your nose.

Step 3 - Keep your legs straight and your toes tucked under your feet.

Step 4 - Straighten your arms as you push your body up off the floor. Keep your palms fixed at the same position and keep your body straight. Try not to bend or arch your upper or lower back as you push up.

Step 5 – Exhale as your arms straighten out.

Step 6 - Pause for a moment

Step 7 – Lower your body slowly towards the floor. Bend your arms and keep your palms in fixed position. Keep body straight and feet together.

Step 8 – Lower body until chest touches the floor. Try not to bend your back. Keep your knees off the floor, and inhale as you bend your arms.

Step 9 – Pause for a moment. Begin straightening your arms for a second push-up. Exhale as you raise your body.

Exercise 3 – Curl-ups

While it may seem counterintuitive, exercising the abdominal muscles works to strengthen the back and spinal column as well. One exercise that works both abdominal and back muscles is the curl up. Follow these steps to learn how to perform a curl up to help strengthen your back muscles.

Step 1 – Place a towel or padded exercise mat on the floor so you have a comfortable spot to perform your abdominal curl up.

Step 2 – Lie down on your towel or mat so that your lower and middle back is neither flat on the floor nor unnaturally arched. Lift your knees so that your legs extend slightly in front of you. Position your hands underneath your head, and bring your arms close to your ears. Raise your head, neck and shoulders so that only your upper back rises from the floor.

Step 3 – Hold your curl up for 10 seconds and then lower your shoulders, neck and head, so that your upper back rests on the floor once again.

Exercise 4 – Abdominal Crunches

Step 1 - Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor in front of you. Lie on an exercise mat rather than a hard floor to prevent back strain.

Step 2 - Position your feet as wide as your hips.

Step 3 – Place your hands behind your head so that your thumbs are tucked behind your ears.

Step 4 – Hold your elbows slightly out to the sides and keep your chin pointing upward.

Step 5 – Curl up and forward so that your head, neck and shoulder blades lift off the floor. Make sure you’re not pulling your head forward with your hands. If your chin is making contact with your chest, the abdominal muscles aren’t being used in the exercise.

Step 6 – Pause for a moment. Lift your head up enough so that your middle and lower back stay on the floor. Squeeze your abdominals as you pause.

Step 7 - Slowly lower your head, neck and shoulder blades to starting position.

Step 8 - Keep your knees bent, your feet in the same position and your back straight throughout the entire exercise.

Exercise 5 – Oblique Crunches left & Right

Oblique crunches are great for targeting what many people refer to as their love handles. Oblique crunches work primarily the obliques and the upper abs because you are performing spinal flexion and rotation.

Step 1 - Lie on your back and cross the left foot over the right knee, hands behind your head.

Step 2 - Keeping your lower back pressed into the floor, lift your shoulder blades off the floor and then curl your upper body diagonally across your body towards your left knee.

Step 3 – Contract your abs and obliques as hard as you can at the top of the movement.

Step 4 – Resist on the way back down.

Step 5 – Repeat for 8 reps before switching sides.

Exercise 6- Lying Leg Raises

Professional body builders utilize this lower abdominal exercise to get great results on their abdominal. This was my favorite lower ab exercise when I was competing in bodybuilding competitions and is a great safe workout for defining and strengthening the hip flexors. Strong hip flexors are important for running, biking and swimming.

Step 1 - Start by lying on a mat with your legs straight out.

Step 2 - Lift your legs straight up using only your abdominals and hip flexors.

Step 3 - Lower your legs down without them touching the ground.

Exercise 7 – Squats

Squats are often called the king of exercises—and for good reason. Squats work the largest muscles in the body, the thighs, and so they not only stimulate serious gains in muscular size and strength but also provide a systemic metabolic stimulation that seems to encourage even upper-body growth.

Step 1 – Start with feet shoulder width a part, push your butt back, knees bent, and arms straight out in front of you.

Step 2 – Once in this position, slowly bend your knees, and push your bum towards the floor as if to sit on a chair. Make sure to keep your torso straight, and that you do not strain your back.

Step 3 – Slowly rise, and return to starting position

Exercise 8- 8 Count Body Builders

The 8-count body builder is a favorite exercise used by BUD/S training and combines timing, coordination and demanding physical exertion. This calisthenics exercise strengthens your upper and lower body muscles and heart and circulatory system. Use the following steps to do the challenging 8-count body builder and you’ll experience a serious workout. The highest repetition 8 count body builders I performed were during my own BUD/S training class and were 116 reps, which was my class number! Do a few of these and you will be amazed at the amount of conditioning this required.

Step 1 - Start from a standing position.

Step 2 – Squat down. Put your hands shoulder width apart in front of you on the floor. Extend your legs out and backward behind you. Keep your body straight and in alignment as you move into a basic push-up position.

Step 3 – Move into a downward push-up position. Rest your body weight in your hands and arms while doing this movement.

Step 4 – Move your body back to the top of the push-up position. Remain in the push-up position.

Step 5 – Using a scissor-like motion, kick your legs apart.

Step 6 – Bring your legs back together into the basic push-up position.

Step 7 – Move both legs back up to your chest in one hopping motion.

Step 8 – Jump up. This returns you to the 8-count body builder starting position.

So there you have it. This is a nice and simple calisthenic program that can be adjusted to any fitness level. This routine can be done with or without another exercise program and can accomplish most fitness goals by working the entire body. That’s the way we roll.

I have worked in different capacities with all of the above titled forces. I believe that using intuition as part of your strategy could increase your effectiveness tremendously.

I will start with the military side as that is what I have the most background with over 30 years now of working directly and or indirectly with military combat forces. I give numerous examples throughout The Intuitive Warrior of how I use intuition to save lives and know how to either ovoid or defeat opposing forces.

How can this benefit the average soldier right now this instant? Intuition can make every aspect of your job more productive. Tapping your intuition opens you to creative ways to handle a difficult situation. This could be as simple as finding the answer to make a piece of equipment work properly to finding your way safely out of a fire fight. Intuition is often tapped unknowingly by those that  have learned to work through stressful situations but what if we taught people how to tap their intuition in the begining of their training. Lets teach people a one day course that will increase their effectiveness in every aspect of their job and increase their survivability in combat. Lets get away from the dogma that anything that is outside of our 5 senses is not real. Everyone can benefit immediately just with the acknowledgement that intuition exists and starts to develop it. The last group of guys that I worked recently with on a security contract in a combat zone are a great example. These guys were both in their late 20’s and had combat experience. One in Marine Recon the other a Green Beret. I talked with these guys about my ability to tap my intuition and know when attacks were coming. They were sceptical at first but partly because of my background and mainly because I was able to show them physically how to send thoughts and affect their environment they were both on board with developing their intuition.

I was very pleased one night when they came back from a movement and excitedly told me how they were telepathically sending turns to each other while driving. You see intuition begins to open a whole gamat of abilities you only need to be creative with them. I had never discussed using telepathy with them in this way they had just started trying it. I had discussed sending thoughts and had given them a demonstration of how you can influence others with your thoughts but never to the degree that these guys were creatively using it. This is but one example, I have many, but hopefully with an open mind you get the gist of what I’m trying to relay.

For law enforcement I can give you hundreds of applications. I have worked with many Police SWAT and FBI HRT (Hostage Rescue Team)’s throughout the US over three decades and can tell you that they are all an amazingly professional group to work with. I would say that as you increase your level of training and time of service to others you advance in the use of intuition. Again often unconsciously. Speaking of intuition is not common in any of the above groups but if it began to be it could quickly increase the effectiveness of all these groups as well. For instance perhaps someone in a team has a strong gut feeling a group of unsavory characters are on the other side of a door with guns drawn and pointing at the door. A quick alert to the team of the intuition and they move to another door undetected and surprise the unsavory types. This quick change of plans currently would be hard to justify in most teams but their are a few out there that would trust an individual that had displayed strong intuitive skills in the past. Fortunatley I work with teams now that know of my intuitive skills, listen to my warnings and we have been able to stop terrorist attacks in the past.

Again how does this work for the average guy on the beat. The patrolman or the trouper on the highway? Well a lot of those guys are working their intuition as well without knowing it. I worked with a guy on a contract once that started telling me all kinds of stories of how he had used his intuition after I talked to him about how I have used mine. He told me how he was catching stolen vehicles at an incredible rate using his intuition or hunches as he called them. I think this dialogue alone would open many people up to the reality that intuition is already a part of their lives they just don’t acknowledge it and therefore never tap into it’s full benefit. So also a one day course somewhere in the training phase on intuition, what it is and how to use it.

I have relatives that were and some that still are firemen and chiefs of stations. They speak of also using hunches when approaching burning buildings and knowing whether they can enter a building safely or not. Often our intuitions are simply information processed at an incomprehensible rate. If we could slow everything down and aynalize the information that is present on any given stressful situation we could see all the details and make an easy decision. Unfortunately those that are in service to others that put their lives on the line are often not given this luxury. Therefore an intuitive awareness is crucial in not only for your own survival but for those you serve as well. Those that have been around working in this capacity for a while are also often tapping their intuition. A good fire chief will put his men in situations that he knows they can handle based on their experience level but the really good ones will have that inner knowing or intuition of just how, who, where and what to do in an instant and have a fire rapidly under control or have people rescued in a expeditions and safe manner.

Intuition taught at the fire academies? Although all the above institutions do not formally teach intuition openly they occasionally will have a savvy instructor that will give them some insight into trusting your gut instinct which is really intuition. Humans are more advanced if allowed to be and can tap a far great awareness than animals although this rarely occurs for most and that’s because intuition is not openly discussed.

I have worked with and taught search and rescue teams different skills. I have even taught them intuition although not openly. One problem with teaching intuition is that some people get a glazed look over their face at the mention of intuition. Our highly controlled education system has put many road blocks into the minds of students over the course of their education. The higher the education the more time to create road blocks to creative thought. This is not always the case but it unfortunately is the norm. Most educational systems teach you how to process tons of static information not how to use your creative abilities to find answers like you would if you were taught by an intuitive educational system.

I can teach you how to track a lost person through a scientific system but if I include an intuitive system you will be immeasurably more effective. I could also teach you how to remote view as is taught in some military organizations but you will only be so effective. You will be limited without being taught how to also incorporate your intuition. So you could remote view someone that was lost as I have done with an analytical process but unless you tap your intuition you may never find that person. By using your intuition you begin to tap into feelings which is something that is unscientific but by using feelings you connect with that person and are able to find them much easier.

So implementing intuition into all the above as a curriculum course that teaches people how to develop and use intuition is a no brain-er right? Lets see!

While doing research for my next two books I was given some interesting insights that I believe will shed some more light on what I was trying to accomplish with the publishing of The Intuitive Warrior (TIW).

It was recommended by my publisher that a chapter that I had written on past lives be moved into a separate book. I felt like resisting at first because my past lives are an integral part of what I’m doing in this life. For a couple of reasons perhaps it was better to leave it out as it was perhaps a little to much for people to accept. The TIW is full of information that is life altering for many as I’m finding out and believed would happen so the past life information could have overwhelmed some. Second reason is that it fits in nicely with writing more books that breaks down everything in a more digestible format.

The next two books in the trilogy will deal with past lives and how they are coming forward in my current life and influencing a transformation in me. By my example of how these lives are impacting me I hope to give insight to others and to also help in transforming the warriors of the earth to healers.

I was given insight into archetypes that all humanity eventually go through. A warrior being among those, so like I discuss in TIW we are all warriors in a fashion.

An archetype is an original model of a person, ideal example, or a prototype upon which others are copied, patterned, or emulated; a symbol universally recognized by all. In psychology, an archetype is a model of a person, personality, or behavior.

1- Eden- We come into the world as innocence. Everything is taken care of and we are loved and nurtured.

2- Separation- we eventually move out on our own and suffer pain at separation from Eden. During this pain we search for truths and discover our truth eventually and then want to protect it.

3- Warrior – We want to protect our truth after we find it so we become the warrior. Eventually we discover that the inner warrior is creating external enemies through our desire to protect our truth. I have a story in TIW where I have the little death of the ego during a vision quest. This inner war which we all go through eventually before we break free of the ego and transition to a healer must happen within us all. Until we break free of the warrior archetype we will continue to project our inner warrior on others. This is happening on a grand scale with the current wars going on throughout the world.

4 – Healer – the healer realizes that they have created the war outside themselves from their inner pain and want to heal it.

It is important to add a note of caution that the warrior/healer does not focus on eliminating evil outside itself in a desire to heal the world of evil. This only leads to more war.

I was told that as a warrior/healer I have learned how to suspend conflict through an ancient Sacred Warfare technique of binding the enemy by bands of energy which I call – love. This was a practice that I learned in previous life times in Egypt as a warrior/priest during the reign of  Thutmosis III, Akenaten who is credited with creating Monotheism during a time when a young man named Moses was in the city started by Akenaten named Amarna, Tutankanen who was Akenaten son was delayed medication for a bone fracture he incurred while learning to hunt lions in a charriot. It was feared that Tut would try and implement the unpopular monotheism so he was killed like his father through discreat means. A priest named Eje took over next and then the general Horemheb ruled as king. The next Pharaoh was Seti I and then Ramses II under who’s reign Moses escaped. I and my wife who was a nubian princess and of royalty like myself escaped Egypt with Moses. My wife in this life was my wife in that life and we have both come forward to help in this time of great transformation for humanity. I would eventually teach sacred warfare to a young man by the name of Joshua who would go on to help settle the Israilites in Canaan using sacred warfare. The story of the walls of Jericho tumbling down will be explained in my next book along with many more stories of warrior lives. One of these that I have just recently found out was with St. Francis of Assisiwho I was friends with during a crusade. I later returned from the crusade and joined St. Frances along with a current well known author. I will discuss this life in detail as well as an extensive  life during the time of Christ where I was a Roman centurion that is mentioned in the bible in several places. In all I will discuss around 18 different warrior lives of significance. In book three I will discuss in detail priest lives and how they are impacting my current life. In one of these I was trained by Siddhartha or Buddha.

All of these lives are forming the next archetype that I am transitioning to and that is the…

5- Alchemist – where by I not only bind up the enemy by bands of energy but I change them and the land that is conflicted into peaceful harmony. I have started this process and have performed it on one occasion already.

I hope that this gives many of you insight into what is being accomplished with The Intuitive Warrior and some of the intent of the trilogy series. I hope to publish book two early next year and book three the following year.

Humanity is transitioning from a war making consciousness or a warrior centric archetype to a healer archetype. My hope is that The Intuitive Warrior will help to bring about that transition in a rapid way. I am endeavoring to show the way by example as I was taught that all good leaders should do. The awakening of humanity to the lie of war as being necessary is being exposed. Our ability to transition during the coming 12/21/2012 timeframe from one not of devastating earth changes but to one of a golden age is possible through this awakening. Through and because of our consciousness being awakened to point where the devastation will not occur this time as it has in the past is a possible future.

The myth of Atlantis being devastated in a single day of worldwide upheaval is not a myth but a real event. It has been shown that when cosmonauts were in space for a long period of time they lost their memory because of the effects of no gravity. The earths gravity and electromagnetic field are important for us to maintain our memory. During the ending of the last ice age 10500 BC Atlantis was distroyed. I speak of crustal shifts during pole shifts in TIW and how science has documented this as a fact. Our poles shift during certain periods of time as the earth travels through the galaxy. We are coming rapidly to one of those timeframes. When the south pole moves instantly to the north pole and vice versa it changes the polarity in one swift movement or a one day event. This drops the magnetic field that we need to store our memories. So during the pole shift during Atlantian times, which by the way was caused by war,  we lost our memories. Some survivors didn’t however and they are the ones that came to help restore the survivors. The flood story in the bible and Noah surviving with animals and plants is one such story. Flood stories are found throughout the world in up to 100 different unconnected cultures. It was a real event in history and the story of Atlantis sinking in a day is real.

In my previous posts I speak of how the pyramids all over the world were used for generating free power. This is/was Atlantian technology which is being suppressed by those that choose to keep humanity in the dark and use them for selfish purposes. Those that manipulate and control the energy control the world. One thing that will happen is that as humanity rapidly wakes up in the next two years these dark forces that attempt to control and manipulate humanity will loose their ability to do so. The recent spike in oil prices will continue until oil is at or above $100 a barrel again. This is spike in prices is happening even though the world is awash in oil.

All of the old systems that control freedom are near collapse. As humanity becomes more and more enlightened and moves away from these outdated systems such as the big banking systems which fund this freedom crushing system, and moves their money into local banking systems that serve the people then the money to finance the old system will begin to dry up. This process has begun in many areas. Don’t fear the old system collapsing rejoice in it as this will make room for the new needed systems which will soon flourish after the old system collapses. I moved my money out of all stocks back in 2007 before the crash and have not put it back. I bank at a credit union and encourage everyone to make this transition. Starve the darkness of the money it needs to dominate humanity. By putting your money in small local well run banks you empower them and change the dynamic that the powerful banking cartel uses to control humanity.

I just visited Thomas Jefferson’s home in Monticello, VA. It is a lovely estate and was completely self sufficient and beautifully designed by the self taught architech himself. Jefferson said that “Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have … The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.”

Unfortunately the above quote is evident all over the earth. The greatest times for mankind throughout history are those in which freedom has flourished. I believe that if we don’t achieve our freedom and achieve a mass of humanity at the healer archetype level we will see increasing earth changes until the systems collapse. At that point we will not have the controls on us that keep most of humanity in the dark and a mass awakening will change the world forever. I would rather it happen without the drama though so I hope the tipping point is reached before we don’t have to go through the drama.

Over the last month my lovely wife and I have been traveling extensively to different conferences presenting The Intuitive Warrior. We have also listened to many others advance our knowledge of ongoing changes in our solar system right down to the very fabric of humanity itself. We are rapidly approaching a point in our solar system that allows for a great shift in human consciousness. These periods have happened throughout time as we have traveled through the Milky Way Galaxy. Many ancient cultures have known of these periods and have left clues for us that were either forgotten over time, buried deeply in mystery schools and organizations or suppressed by those who thought that they could control others by keeping this knowledge for there own selfish purposes.

Truth has a way of reveling itself to those who search however. In the book “The Fifth Agreement” by don Miguel Ruiz & his son don Jose Ruiz I’ll share an excellent quote that illustrates this perfectly:” The Truth doesn’t need you to believe it; the truth simply is, and it survives whether you believe it or not. Lies need you to believe them. If you don’t believe lies, they don’t survive your skepticism, and they simply disappear.”

So it appears to be happening with so many manipulations and lies over time that humanity has been hooked with. As these lies begin to collapse whether they are fomented upon us by religions, governments, economic, school, or any societal systems they will collapse and be replaced by ones based on truth. An example of the coming collapse of one of these lies is the energy we are currently tied to. In my last post I talked of how the pyramidal system that is located throughout the world was once used as a free energy source. This free energy source was almost returned to humanity by Nicolas Tesla but was thwarted by those that wanted to control it for selfish gain. As this truth is being exposed the old energy system will collapse and be replaced. Imagine what this one truth will mean for humanity. Free energy will bring financial freedom to many throughout the world and will increase the productivity and overall freedom of all. Imagine the wars that are being currently fought for control of this outdated energy source and that will also collapse when this lie is exposed.

The Magnifying Transmitter

The closest Tesla came to a world wide industrial application of his Radiant Energy dream was the construction of his huge Magnifying Transmitter at Shoreham, Long Island, a site which he named Wardenclyffe. Following his return to New York City from Colorado Springs in 1899, Tesla was jubilant and full of enthusiasm to implement his plan for the commercial application of Radiant energy. He turned to JP Morgan for a substantial portion of the funding to finance the huge project at Wardenclyffe.

Morgan was chiefly concerned with turning a profit from overseas radio transmissions since Marconi was fast locking up the market and Morgan, ever the aggressor, wanted a share of the market. When Tesla told him that the transmitter could transmit “intelligence” to the world, Morgan assumed that he meant ordinary radio communications, but Tesla was not referring to ordinary radio transmissions. He was talking about something much bigger, but avoided revealing all to Morgan during this early phase of the Wardenclyffe project. Some considerable time later, Tesla eventually felt compelled to tell Morgan the larger possibilities offered by the Magnifying Transmitter when he needed more funding to complete the project. Tesla thought that Morgan would be overwhelmed by his expanded explanation of the true capacities of the transmitter and would be anxious to complete the work, but Tesla’s assumption had backfired and Morgan refused to lay out any more money for the transmitter. Sadly, the enormous benefits that could have been made available to society by Tesla’s Magnifying Transmitter project, died then and there.

Morgan & Westinghouse

Morgan had already orchestrated circumstances in Tesla’s life in order to force Tesla to be dependent on him for financial backing. During an earlier period, when Tesla himself had millions from his Polyphase AC generator royalty payments and other earnings, Morgan wanted to woo Tesla with a deal that effectively gave Morgan majority control over his patent rights and projects, but Tesla turned him down, telling Morgan that he had enough money of his own to fund his projects.  While returning to his hotel from that very meeting with Morgan, however, Tesla was told that his laboratory had been burned to the ground. It represented a tremendous loss to Tesla and it shook him deeply. Everyone, of course, felt convinced that Morgan was behind the arson. In order to save face, Morgan was embarrassed by Tesla into putting up the money to pay for the rebuilding of a new lab as an act of “philanthropy”. From that time forward, however, other financial backers were not to be found. Morgan was powerful enough to black list Tesla among the Eastern Establishment elites that previously had hobnobbed and feted with Tesla as if he was one of their own. Black listing and ostracization by officialdom and financiers lifted somewhat after Morgan’s death, but generally continued to haunt Tesla for the rest of his life.

Before the turn of the century, Tesla also willingly gave up millions, perhaps billions, in royalty earnings to George Westinghouse in an unprecedented act of friendship. Westinghouse had believed in the superiority of Tesla’s AC system and provided the money to build Tesla’s big AC generators at Niagra Falls, NY. Tesla was paid millions up front for his patents, but was also due to receive royalty earnings for every kilowatt of power produced. When Westinghouse ran into financial difficulties at a later date, Tesla tore up his royalty contract in order to save Westinghouse from financial ruin. Had he not done that, Tesla would have had enough money from royalties to keep him ensconced in great wealth for the rest of his life.

As a warrior I have seen my own truth and awareness expand to the point where I realize that we as humanity are advancing to the point where we will be transitioning out of war and fear, as we have known it for many thousands of years. We have been part of a pattern of darkness and now we are moving into a point in the galaxy where we will be transiting in a higher vibration of light. Everything is vibration I recount in The Intuitive Warrior and we are coming into an era of higher vibration that is lifting us out of older dark patterns of dense vibration. This dense slower vibration was necessary for us to understand and work within this energy. Now as we are moving into a higher vibratory area of the universe our planet and everything on it is beginning to ascend to this higher vibration.

Time as we have known it has been rapidly changing as a result of these new vibrations. We notice that everything seems to be speeding up and the things we focus our thoughts on are manifesting at a faster rate. This change in linear time as we have known it is crucial for us to understand. I discuss in my book about how the Mayans were masters of keeping time that was connected to the entire universe, our galaxy, the planets, sun and moon in our solar system and how they effected the seasons. In the amazing temple complex in Chichen Itza, which I have marveled at firsthand, is an example of this advanced knowledge.

Ancient Stone Masons built and aligned this stone pyramid centuries ago to project the sun’s rays into a serpent of light and slowly undulating shadow on the steps down to the serpents head at the bottom of the step pyramid during the spring equinox. This demonstrates an advanced knowledge of the cycles of time. As many know the Mayan calendar ends on 12/21/12. This does not mean an end of the world but the collapse of time, as we know it. Currently time as we measure it is no longer 24 hours but closer to 15 hours and collapsing.  Many ancient cultures have also said that we will transition from Homo Sapiens to Homo Spiritus or the Spiritual Human.

Because our calendar is no longer linked to galactic alignments the coming changes are confusing to many. Realigning our world calendar to the galactic movements will be of huge benefit to future generations. Our current calendar system is aligned with two-dimensional energy and we are in three “D” moving into four and five “D” energies. We are living in confusion not only in our incorrectly manipulated calendrical calculations but also from the effects of transitioning from denser lower vibrations of 3 “D” to less dense higher 4 & 5 “D” vibrations.

We just completed a whirlwind trip to Galveston, Tx for the Earth-Keeper Equinox seminar.

Lots of exciting information was shared by all as the three pyramids that are aligned with the Giza plateau pyramids in Cairo, Egypt sat in the background. Presenter after presenter of cutting edge spiritual and scientific information combined wowed the audience as the strong energies of the spring equinox combined with those of the pyramidal structures close by created an ambience that excelerated the learning capacity of all.

Semir Osmanagic gave an exceptional presentation of pyramids found all over the world as well as the largest newly discovered pyramid and pyramid complex in Bosnia.

All over the world are found ancient pyramids and Semir discovered a way to use video to record the strong energy vortexes eminating from pyramids.

I believe there is strong evidence between the work of free power transmission that was started by Nikola Tesla and the ancient use of pyramids for a source of power.

The following Youtube video about Nikola Tesla is very informative and highly recommended. It’s about 10 minutes long but worth every second of the information about this suppressed hero.
