The Way of the Warrior is found in death and it eventually comes for everyone. This is why The Stoics used the phrase ‘memento mori’ to keep the inevitability of death present in mind. An awareness of death reminds us to appreciate life, to be careful in small matters, and recognize that our time on earth is limited and, therefore, precious.

Learning to deal with the inevitability of death, loss, and other forms of suffering is a skill that must be cultivated, particularly by those that consider themselves warriors. The mindfulness faculties acquired by accepting death yield powers useful in every area of life.

In this interview conducted by the Death Dhamma Podcast we explore specific mindfulness techniques for skillfully processing our experiences of loss, suffering, and trauma.

What does Will Smith slapping Chris Rock have to do with the 47 Ronin, Alexander Hamilton, or Miyamoto Musashi? 

There’s a common thread weaving between these historical conflicts that presents lessons on how principled warriors should settle interpersonal disputes.

A free society, characterized by private property and contract based law, demands strict liability for making personal problems public. 

Samurai tradition points to the rigid discipline required to operate successfully amid armed culture.

The further removed from the realities of combat, the more neglectful a population becomes and, therefore, the more inclined individuals are to unskillfully spew their unprocessed emotions onto others, creating negative externalities. 

This leads to the uncivilized process unfolding today into what will ultimately become anarcho-tyranny.

Fortunately, the formula for restoring legal and cultural order is at hand: that the whole body of the people be always organized, armed, and disciplined in the martial arts and sciences.

Professor Jason Morgan, of Reitaku University in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, joins us to discuss his article on how private security is insufficient to secure a free state, how security providers like the samurai, the Praetorian Guard, and the Pinkertons tend to transform into statist nuisances, and why a popular militia of armed citizens, trained in the martial arts, is necessary for liberty and international peace. This is the real purpose of the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms.

Bitcoin’s increasing popularity is invoking calls for its suppression, with some calling it a threat to US national security that undermines the dollar. 

Yet, what are the characteristics and uses of sound money in the first place? 

What is a government’s role in regulating money when that government is designed to secure liberty in the present and for posterity?

We illustrate the issue using political conditions during Tokugawa Japan and the iconic samurai cinema and manga story, Lone Wolf and Cub, the baby cart assassin.

Dr. Edwin Vieira explains how the Second Amendment, taken in context with the militia clauses of the Constitution, can put an end to modern gun control, while also putting an end to the COVID19 lockdowns. 

The COVID19 pandemic has revealed gaps in the promise of self-government yet the Constitution already has the solutions. The authorities already exist in the ‘supreme law of the land’ and by revitalizing local institutions, deemed necessary to the security of a free state, people and communities can decentralize political control so as to put an end to the creeping tyranny at the federal and state levels while simultaneously protecting the right to keep and bear arms.

This is a comprehensive, legal solution for restoring liberty, to ourselves and our posterity. Yet self-government active civic engagement, not reliance upon politicians, bureaucrats, and technocrats.

Continuing our conversation on physical posture as a means toward mental awareness, martial readiness, and personal success. Body, mind, and breath form a cybernetic loop to reinforce personal empowerment so you can focus on creating what you want in life for yourself, your loved ones, and your community.

Posture, in combination with tactical breathing, is the quickest path to the flow state where we achieve super learning and skillful solutions to whatever we are confronting in life.

Empowered individuals, warriors armed, organized, and disciplined along the dual path of scholarly and martial arts, are necessary to the security of a free state. Focusing on your posture is how you become resilient, potent, successful, and a net contributor to securing liberty.

Physical posture is much more than bodily arrangement. Posture impacts physical health, mental awareness, and emotional attitude, as well as martial readiness. Proper posture is essential to securing your liberty because it is the common thread between mind, body, spirit, and the body of all your affairs.

Posture is fundamental to samurai related martial arts but “kamae” is a comprehensive term that includes the physical body, relationships to potential opponents or environmental threats, in addition to the tools and resources at your disposal. 

Prevailing in conflict, or avoiding it in the first place, requires embodying a resilient posture and being well practiced with tactical breathing techniques is the best way to release stress, eliminate tension from the body, and elevate your situational awareness; so you can achieve optimal performance. 

Posture, in combination with deep abdominal breathing, is the quickest path to the flow state.

Those looking to secure Second Amendment gun rights as well as a libertarian strategy, an actual plan for practical implementation to restore liberty, should look to the works of Dr. Edwin Vieira for Constitutional principles and legal authorities already available to radically decentralize and put the power of purse and sword at the most local level. 

Not only does this legal approach protect gun rights under the Second Amendment, it prevents the current drift toward martial law, and restores the principles of self-government.

Dave Chappelle recently said that the second amendment was there “just in case” the first one didn’t work out. This endorsement is welcome, however, also falls into the slippery slope of ceding entirely too much ground to aspiring tyrants.

2A rights are to secure a free state, not for waiting to rebel against an out of control Leviathan. Training with the tools of combat , exemplified by samurai related martial arts, leads to a society of individuals empowered with awareness, discipline, and an understanding of cause and effect.

The so-called deep state has leftist roots aiming at the centralization and control of political power. This manifests as decision-making authority of financial resources and private property at the expense of personal liberty.

All states tend to become deep by the very nature of bureaucracy, which is inherently plagued by the failures of socialism, an inability to conduct economic calculation and direct resources to their highest-valued ends.

Therefore all bureaucracies are not only wasteful but also, in the absence of market competition and price signals, blind to the needs of the people they are supposed to serve. Bureaucracies naturally transform into self-serving institutions ripe to advance leftist ideology and advance the deep state.

Leftist capture of key social and governmental institutions especially media outlets and education further grows the deep state through social engineering and shaping public discourse. Rather than preserving liberty and encouraging free thinking, leftists, politicians, and senior executive bureaucrats look upon individuals as pawns in their master plan.

All of this is inimical to free-thinking, entrepreneurship, and liberty.

Leftists and the deep state prefer an ignorant and distracted citizenry that they can tax, mold, and direct at will. Yet government in the Enlightenment tradition is supposed to protect liberty and secure a free space for people to pursue their own happiness.

In order to restore the proper role and function of government, all leftist designs must be resisted and the deep state must be undermined. It begins with understanding the principles of justice and must translate into positive action. Learn how with this discussion of history, current events, and the essential nature of martial art in the security of a free state.

Incrementalism is the gradual path of encroachment upon individual rights that leads to tyranny. Before someone can exert their will over you they must first disarm you. This is why there can be no compromise on the fundamental principles of liberty.

Being well trained in the use of arms and actually having them in your possession at all times is an essential ingredient to securing yourself, as well as contributing to the security of a free state.

Individually and collectively, a free society cannot allow incrementalism to erode the foundations of justice and the practical means of maintaining self-government.

That a Free State offers no privileges to those that would live as parasites must engage in incrementalism and obscure their designs. All politics is based on deception.

The political class must pervert law away from its real purpose of serving justice and promoting social harmony before they can exert their will upon their constituents. They must confuse issues and pit groups against one another in order to divide and rule.

Upholding the principles of justice are easy when you understand the simplicity of common law: do all you have agreed to do and do not encroach upon other people or their property. A government orchestrated for this sole purpose, the protection of people and their property is inexpensive and noninvasive. It is entirely opposite to the present experience with governments, the most expensive and invasive humanity has ever known.

There is a better way. It begins by developing the your own dignity and self-mastery, grounded in principle and disciplined to bring forth your highest capacities.

This is why we train along the dual path of scholarly and martial arts.

Rather than focusing on doomsday insurgencies against tyranny, like a recent ammo.com article described, it’s more skillful to use the Constitutional prescription for the security of a free state.

It’s time to change the narrative on the use of arms in a just society, particularly to curtail the designs of rogue officials.

In this, pragmatic strategies from samurai tradition allow individual arts, like aikido, to scale up for larger social contribution.

Criminal tragedies in the first minutes of the New Year 2019, reinforce the seriousness of conflict in the real world. Securing life, liberty, and property requires training founded upon reality, where consequences matter not only for individuals but society as a whole. 

In 1928, Kenji Tomiki wrote a letter expressing the superiority of aikijujutsu (aikido) to the sport of judo for the arena of ‘shinken shobu’ where edged weapon combat with live blades determines life or death. 

Reality based martial training, properly oriented on self-governance, must do away with a sporting mentality and focus on protection against armed aggression.
