Warrior Work Week 7

Principle 7: Perceive those things which cannot be seen

The three arts of the warrior are intent, perception and

behavior. Often people mask their intent through actions or
behaviors that can be perceived as “nice” or “thoughtful”
but in reality are techniques of disinformation that are meant
to placate, to deceive or keep you away from their real
agendas and intent. How do you learn to perceive these
things that you cannot see? First you must work on being
empty, being detached enough to not be pulled by your
desires or pushed by your fears. After that you can look with
clarity at what you can see, their techniques on both verbal
and physical levels and then you can start to work on
perceiving their intent which cannot be seen directly.
Learning to look into other’s hearts and perceiving their
motivations and then seeing how it manifests into the world
through what they create with their actions and words is an
integrative ongoing process. Learning to perceive those
things which cannot be seen might also be called “mastering
the heart”. This week instead of looking at what is easily
seen, work on perceiving the intent and motivations of those
around you and how it may shift from situation to situation.
Look into their hearts as well as your own and perceive what
you are creating energetically. What can be seen, the form
of the world and those around us can be deceiving.
