The mantra of the soul---and because I'm a realist I write the following.
The mantra- given the resources that I do not have presently (but this to can indeed change) mainly only a few hundred dollars to throw into the pot here and there and that my regular employment is as demanding as it is limiting my time I can only utilize one type of philosophy to assure any measure of success and that is this, I will not surrender, I will not relent, I will not retreat, there is no defeat, it is all conquerable, the lack of resources is meaningless, nothing is hopeless and time shall avail all because the need for what this is and can become is growing rapidly every single day. And during the dark times when things seem all but lost and doors close before me one after another as they have than what I do is go to the most deepest recesses within my being and once again grab a hold of the sword of my soul pull it out of its sheath and with a wet stone I begin sharpening that sword taking away any of its rust until it glistens so mightily in the sun that all who would gaze upon it would marvel at its beauty and strength. The trick my dear people with holding such a sword is that this blade, this sword of the soul can "never once draw blood in anger" for only the so called virgin blade has the power to heal, the power of understanding and the power of wisdom to bestow upon its master. One can always wield the sword to destroy the enemy this is the easy part the true strength of the sword master is seen through the times the master does not wield the sword and uses the steel blade within to conquer across the ideological frontiers that support the reasoning behind those who stand before you and call themselves your enemy. This is a basic tenant that I am now laying down across time for all those who are willing to stand in the firing line of change as Planetary Developers upon our world, species and civilization.
A note - Common sense dictates that while you the sword master is engaged across that ideological frontier of battle your sword itself is fully in the open and on display for all to see it's majestic brilliance, might and strength. And please note above that I quote "never once draw blood in anger" which means that the sword master has every right to use it as a defensive weapon and only as defensive weapon can it be ever used lest it losses its power.
