| - Being a Ritual Warrior is not a hobby, job, or role in society. It is a sacred calling, a path to Truth, to Individual Evolution, and potentially to Perfection itself. A Warrior in the truest and highest sense is a Ritual Warrior. Combat is not mere violent activity nor even a set of planned fighting actions. True Combat is a Sacred Process, a means to achieve physical, mental, and spiritual goals that are far beyond simple military matters.

| - Being a Ritual Warrior is not a hobby, job, or role in society. It is a sacred calling, a path to Truth, to Individual Evolution, and potentially to Perfection itself. A Warrior in the truest and highest sense is a Ritual Warrior. Combat is not mere violent activity nor even a set of planned fighting actions. True Combat is a Sacred Process, a means to achieve physical, mental, and spiritual goals that are far beyond simple military matters. The Warrior is not merely an actor, agent, or mover of things. He is an embodiment of energy, of Pure Intent crystallized into Sacred Action. This Sacredness is raised to its ultimate level in the Rites, also called Ritual Forms. Each motion in a fighting sequence or Ritual Form must be pure. The Rite is a spiritual opus, each part perfectly orchestrated, timed, coordinated, and intentionally driven. Every Combat motion should be totally focused on its purpose. This is especially fulfilled in the Ritual Forms. For this reason, a person cannot Truly and Rightly take part in Combat until they have been properly trained in mind, body, and spirit. The goal of Combat is not victory but Perfection. Victory is a mundane side effect of the Perfection and effectiveness of the Warrior’s actions. One who is simply wielding some armament is not doing Combat but is only wasting energy and flailing in the wind. They may do damage to others or things, but they are not pursuing the Right goal. They are not pursuing Truth; they are only pursuing victory. Victory is of the world, and all such gains will pass away. Truth is Eternal and Timeless and cannot be lost. A Weapon is not a tool or a simple object, to be manipulated by a fighting person. It is a pathway for Energy and Intention. Through perfection of Form, the Weapon transmits Energy most efficiently. This maximizes the attainment of the Intention.
