What is a Peaceful Warrior? A Peaceful Warrior is someone who walks the path. They realise that there is no 'pot of gold at the end of the rainbow' and that there is no end result. There is only the now and at this moment they are working to improve the quality of their lives and of others.
The Way Itself Creates The Warrior Many people might believe that you have to dedicate yourself to the mental teachings and physical excercises that we experience in daily life before one can be called a Peaceful Warrior however this is not so. "Decide to be a millionaire, but not for the green slips of paper. Do it for who you will have to become to get there." ~ James Ray
We live in a primarily results-driven society and people often focus on the destination but not the journey, as if the journey is a hindrance rather than a gift. Life is about the journey not the destination. And remember our final destination is the grave!
Dan Millman Author Of Way Of The Peaceful Warrior in his interview for Leap! The Documentary. Leap! explores the age old philosophy that our entire reality is an illusion...
Right Here, Right Now "The only way we can "change our past" is to change our behaviour in the present, because the present will soon become our past. We also shape our future by the actions we take right now"
"Now is the warrior's moment, and this is a warrior's realization: No matter what we're thinking or feeling - whether we're sad or motivated, shy or assertive, confident or full of doubt - the quality of our lives will always depend, in large part, on what we do today. Today is the doorway to the future; today we build the foundation of what follows."
Ignorance and Mystery "The ancient Greek Philosopher Socrates, my mentor's name sake, claimed to be "the most ignorant of men." And since those days with my own Socrates, I can make the same claim: I possess no certain or ultimate knowledge - not a smidgeon, not a drop. All my "facts" are but a house of cards, balanced atop a realm of wonder.
We can amass a vast storehouse of facts and theories and verifiable conclusions, but underlying all that knowledge we remain children gazing into infinity. Newspaperman and perennial cynic H. L. Mencken once wrote, "We are here and it is now. Beyond that, all human knowledge is moonshine." Mencken could hardly be mistaken for a spiritual teacher, yet he also pointed to the mystery at the core of life" ~ Dan Millman
