Philosophy

I am a genesis of the warrior, the
god, the monk, and the child.  I aim to
grapple with, create, experience, and play with life.  My core is not limited by or defined by these
personality traits, rather, it limits and defines them.  These traits are both prescriptive, of what I
can and should be at my best, and descriptive, of what I can’t help but be even
at my worst.  Life is my battlefield, my
sanctuary, my playground, and above all, my creation.

                As the
warrior, I fight for who I am and what I believe.  I recognize that life is fleeting, and can end
in an instant, so I consciously work to make sure that I am achieving life with
every breath. My word is my bond, and my honor is my duty.  As the warrior, I seek to challenge myself
and prove my worth. I recognize that while death is to be
fought and avoided at all costs, a life without challenge is a fate worth than
death.  I recognize my body as my temple,
as without it, I cannot fight.

                As the
monk, I seek to immerse myself in the experience of life in this moment.  I appreciate the majesty of life as an end in
itself.  I hold my focus as my greatest
gift, and consciously direct it to experience of life.  I recognize that while planning for the
future and learning for the past are important, 
I must be willing to die at any moment, and, if I die, I must die fully
immersed in the present.   I have an affinity
with nature and with other humans, as when I am immersed in the moment, I can
empathize with the rhythms of nature and the feelings of others. At all times
my deepest core is at peace, even in the presence of great outside stressors.

                As the
god, I create the world around me and within me as I see fit.  I can use my unlimited power and will to
change the future, my will is my greatest tool with which I can create, and
change the world.  I cannot change the
laws of nature, but I do not need to, as I know that everything I want is
possible within reality as it exists now. 
As a god, I know my body may die, but I will not, as I will live on in
my creations, which are and always will be created in my image.  I radiate a force and power tangible to all
who come in contact with me.  I am a man
who will move the world.

                As the child,
I seek to immerse myself in joy and love free of self-consciousness or
pretension.   I play and laugh freely,
drawing those around me into a state of playfulness.  My imagination is endless and wonderful, my
greatest tool with which to play with the world.  As the child, play is not a tool or a means
to an end; it is an end in itself.   Laughter is my greatest gift to the world, and
happiness is my greatest gift to myself. 
If I must die, I will die with laughter in my heart.
