Step #4

Attitude of a perfect moment. (link)

You've honed yourself into a master of the world, able to take anything that comes at you. Able to bump elbows with the powers-at-large. Now you must hone your awareness, so you can stay in control of yourself when the time comes. If you don't have enough Truth, you won't be able to do it. You'll blow it and shit your pants. So go find it. Knowledge is power. And that's the enemy you're fighting here: POWER. You may have thought that dispatching some petty tyrant was your victory over power, but no. A single individual's petty tyranny isn't going to be a worthy challenge in this century. We'll be taking on the powers of the global economy, of geopolitics, and millenia-old ideologies.

The enlightened warrior waits for when the moment that allows her to gain it and moves not before. The master slips in unnoticeably because she mastered the prior three challengers, removing her ego out of the equation -- exactly where the petty tyrants are lodged [don].

To be in control of something somebody wants without dominating anyone is the balance you seek. In a short while, and inevitably, you will have arrived at your perfect destination. For each warrior, it is different. It is the exquisite point of total control without controlling a thing.

Now you must walk the fine path of the enlightened warrior and simply be patient. The warrior knows that the world will turn into position, because the Spirit rewards those who are prepared -- it has been like this throughout history, every great feat has had the touch of the Spirit.

Tuning each of the four corners of the enlightened warrior's soul at each moment, you're ready for the cubic centimeter of chance when the Spirit offers it. Waiting for that moment to arrive when it all comes together and the touch of the human, this time, throws the domino that changes all the rest.

The warrior waits, but without wasting a moment. A contradiction you'll have to solve. Chill out with this, and get toned or maybe learn a musical instrument. Yeah, a warrior is balanced to the world and to her/his beloved -- this is what keep the enlightened warrior from becoming another obsessive tyrant. The warrior might be waiting for that little piece of science, philosophy, news that puts your mind in a higher state of understanding. You've just ratcheted up a level, and now you're connecting to brand new people with which to master your relationships. Eventually you have to decide whether to topple the power in place or transform it through your greater awareness. Neither is necessarily better. Ultimately, the Spirit and your karma decide. That's it.

The last step can't be practiced. One should give back for all that one has gained, but transformed into something greater by your journey. Otherwise, you'll be sucking.

For more music......

Still waiting here? ...There are no numbers on the clock of NOW.
