VIOLENCE is VIRTUE
This post is to be taken in the context of the entirety of the site. Please start with the Mission, and the posts on the page Make Ready. Please also read:Look at any time period in any place on earth and you will find that all other things combined have not shaped the world to the extent of Violence.
Violence IS the answer. Times’ most important questions have been answered with violence.
Times’ most important discoveries, inventions, innovations, and cultures were made by those who could effectively defend them with Violence.
The greatest tragedies of modernity and antiquity were committed with violence and then were ended by Violence.
Spiritual people miss this calling as much as any other. The Shaolin, Soōhei, Soo Sah, Theravada, and many others understood that spiritual pursuits must be intertwined with the mastery of violence. But the low vibration Munks of our time forgot that mastery was with modern military technology, and instead of following the spirit of the practice, they, like all tradition-obsessed drones, built a rotting dogma that has the trappings of the real thing, yet is void of its full beauty.
The catholic church used to dominate in the field of battle; it's now dominated by some of the biggest losers like the Pope on the world stage. We have nice things because Christians used to be really good at killing evil. But we get wrapped up in the yin and yang, the hits and misses, the wins and losses, the rights and wrongs. In this confusion, in our inability to Be Vast, with bent knee to our master Fear, we abandon the warrior, throwing the baby out with the bathwater; we prefer illusions of safety that come easily over the dedication, sanctification, and stewardship of being counted among the vanguard of good.
Though I dog on Christians a lot (and boy do they deserve it), they are undoubtedly the most correct wisdom tradition. The proof is in the pudding. Imperfect as it is, Christianity has contributed more progress in almost every area of what it means to be human; every pillar of society, every aspect of our shared world has been more positively impacted by Christian influence than any other spiritual modality. There is no more formative Christian practice than the culture it shaped’s ability to win a war. Without Reconquista, without Sobieski and the German cavalry, without the might of Christian soldiers, the root and stem of progress would have been destroyed, as it was all over the Middle East, for there is but ONE WAR.
Life matters. Life’s only chance comes from the might of goodness. Our pursuit of beauty ends exactly where goodness is weak. All suffering in the history of this world has come from the abandonment of the highest axiom of blessings.
Nothing has done more good than Violence.
It is the most noble trait.
Let me sum up history for you: whenever and wherever goodness isn’t Violent, Evil dominates, and the pages of history go dark. It is only by the violence of goodness that there has ever been peace; it has come no other way, and it never will.
Goodness must be violent; there is NO higher calling.
Our current culture is stuck in a thick fog when it comes to the virtue of violence. If you polled a hundred thousand tax-paying, contributing men, the chances that a single person would put violence in their top three traits, let alone number one, would be very low.
To those who would say violence and spirituality should not mix, is there not a time and a place for everything?
Like the Shaolin and others mentioned above, for most of time, the study of the unseen came with the mastering of the phycical relm, of which there is no higher order than violance on the greatest scale possible. Only by such grandure might we wear the crown of meekness, this worlds greatest achievement and most rare title.
From Violence all Blessings Flow.
Where others ask what good have you done I say, “but are you violent?” If not, you are no good to me or anyone when it matters. And times are coming when it will matter. This is a natural, logical, and historical certainty.
The ruling class maneuvers their ever-increasing monopoly on violence as they use their Four Horsemen of Indoctrination: Banking, Hollywood, Media, and Education, to convince the chattelized masses to abandon history’s most effective tool of collective bargaining. How the hell do you think they can promise you they will do something and then NEVER do it? Get every fairy tale out of your childish mind… it’s because you won’t kill them… because you can’t kill them… and they CAN kill you… and they do.
The ruling class has been telling the public how Violence is NEVER the answer, while everything they do is powered by the threat of violence. ALL PROPOGANDA is pointed at this lie MORE than ANY other. And chances are, it has you hook, line, and sinker.
Good leaders trust and value those they lead; they want them to Master the Art of Violence. Their rule is protected by an armed and dangerous citizenry.
If, as a man, you do not pursue the mastery of violence, you are the fall of Western Civilization personified, you embody the weakness of times’ greatest fools, you are a shame to all those who came before you. There is no way around this. There are no excuses. Not one. If you are a slobbering paraplegic and you master drones (the new gun) you are a mighty man of considerable consequence. All men who do not master violence are AWAL to their calling, their children will always respect another, their women will always yearn for another… gravity is more malleable than this ageless certainty.
Our timeline will not heal until good men own their high calling. There is no victory outside of violence. Only when the violent outcome is without doubt does justice have the ability to use words.
So it is by word I encourage you to master winning by blood so that you might win by word.
There are two types of Cultures:
Cultures of Warriors.
Cultures that End.
