RISE OF GIANTS

Our entire life, the direction we are headed in, our decisions and our behavior, are all based on what we believe. Believes are about what we think of people, work, money, relationships, life, and God. But the most devastating beliefs are about what we think of ourselves. 

We are not born with our beliefs. We collect them as we go through life. We collect them through stories we hear, our regional culture, news we hear, positive and negative life experiences, education, workplace culture, friends, people we look up to, superstitions we hear, and religion. Beliefs are like programing codes in a computer program. If the code is corrupted or is not clear commands the computer program will not operate properly. When our belief is not based on fact, it becomes delusional. Delusion can be the result of incorrect information, error in memory, religious dogma, hallucination, as well as psychological disorders. 

When it comes to beliefs, how does shaman’s psychedelic journeys and mysticism higher states of consciousness contribute to changing perception and beliefs? And what does India’s ancient Puranic text say about other planes of existence as well as Viman flying vehicles? Enlightened warriors tell us that we are always free, and our belief is not who we really are but notions we have collected and agreed to make our own. 
Let’s dive deep into the Fog of Beliefs.

Introduced here for the first time, Rise of Giants is based on the 17 Gates of enlightened warrior tradition. It includes practices, strategic approach to success and prosperity, philosophy, psychology, combative arts, original yoga, and advanced meditation. This profound and hidden tradition has given rise to some of the greatest giants who achieved powerful self-identities and were phenomenal achievers, exceptional creative thinkers, formidable leaders, incredible strategists, and powerful warriors with tremendous physical vitality and exceptional mental sharpness and clarity.

Enlightened warrior tradition states that life is an expert archer that will consistently shoot arrows toward us causing challenges and obstacles. To win the battle of life and Business, the warrior must rise and overcome.

Enlightened warrior tradition can be found in India, China, Japan, Persia, Greece, Scandinavia, and Polynesia among other regions. In Greece, even Plato the Greek philosopher was a wrestler and warrior. Among the Romans, Marcus Aurelius the famed stoic and author of Meditations, was a philosopher and warrior. China had Sun Tzu strategist and philosopher who authored the Art of War that has inspired generations of people. Japan had Tomoe Gozen, a formidable female samurai, Yagyu Munenori, a samurai strategist and philosopher, and Miyamoto Musashi the author of the Book of Five Rings. In India the founder of yoga, Shiva was a warrior, and his son Kartikeya the lord of war. In fact, every central character in India’s epics are warriors including Rama, Krishna, Arjuna, Bhishma, and Drona. Throughout history these enlightened warriors had massive impacts on schools of philosophy, theory of atoms (paramanu), cosmology, combative arts, strategy, innovation, military hierarchy, intelligence gathering, and study of leadership. Furthermore, the practice of meditation, yoga, and the most profound study of consciousness (chit) was the gift of enlightened warrior tradition to society. Even the impact of psychedelics (soma) on perception began with the warrior tradition in India, including bizarre concepts such as parallel universes (lokas).

Now is the time for reinventing and transforming. It is time for success and prosperity. It is time for mental and physical vitality. It is time to slay the dragon and leave the past behind. It is time to move from darkness into light. It is time to experience the elixir of fulfilment. It is time for the Rise of Giants.
