The warrior knows that the world is not what it appears to be, and therefore does not make the mistake of assuming anything to be merely a logical necessity.

It is not possible to become a warrior without stopping the world. In order to do so you must believe that it is possible, and that you too are a magical being of the universe capable of doing so.

The warrior's shortcomings are his ticket to freedom.

In order to erase his personal history the warrior must create around himself a fog in which nothing about him seems tangible. Only tangible people have personal history.

Only those who come to the warrior's path prepared to die can possibly hope to succeed.

The warrior lives by challenge; therefore his life is a disciplined strategy.

WARRIORS ARE NEVER AGREEABLE PARTICIPANTS. SHOULD WARRIORS CHOOSE TO INVOLVE THEMSELVES IN SOMETHING IT IS ONLY BECAUSE IT SUITS THEIR STRATEGY TO DO SO.

WARRIORS MUST LISTEN TO THEIR HEART. IN ORDER TO DO SO YOU MUST FOLLOW YOUR FEELINGS – BUT THIS IS DIFFICULT TO DO IN THE CONTEXT OF YOUR VIEW OF THE WORLD. ERASING PERSONAL HISTORY IS A POWERFUL MEANS OF ELIMINATING THE RESTRAINTS OF YOUR VIEW OF THE WORLD.
