As an 8 year old Judoka, would watch the adult black belts and looked up, wishing one day I'd be like them. My hero was The Lone Ranger. Today, I do all I can to be that role model that never fails.
Growing up, especially recently, feel defrauded by many in LE, military and religion. Evil and corruption are embedded into the 'system'. I do believe in what agencies stand for, as well as some (and in some cases many) there are good people and do what is right.
John 14:30 I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. When Jesus ascended and said he would come back, I understand that he meant that Satan is the prince of this world. But at the same time, the Holy Ghost is with us and God will never abandon us.
Every day, I wake up, pray and build an attitude and thought to keep myself away form sin, harm and disdain. I am not perfect! Yet, I’ve been working for a long time to build and shape my spirit, body and mind into what I perceive to be a good man (in God’s Eyes), a true warrior and a protector of Justice, Freedom, Peace especially for those who can’t defend themselves.
Many years ago, my Sensei wrote me a short letter in which he told me the following: ‘In life, like in Budo (Japanese Traditional Martial Arts), what you do must be in accordance with what you say’. His knowledge and experience can be traced 33 generations back, the men who preceded him were all tops of the tops in the warrior realm.
After yesterday’s lesson, I’ve begun to feel that I am living the life I want, and am finally becoming the man I want to be. As well as the man many of the truly important people in my life trusted I would one day become. I come from a living hell, not from heaven on earth. I know all: Good, bad, pleasure, money lust, Justice, loyalty …
Easter, 1994 is when my present stage began. I aim for perfection, and I (or maybe many of us together) will never fully get rid of the evil, corruption and sin of this world; The Prince of Earth, is today as strong as he will ever be.
Like that vocational soldier who wants to participate in a major war as part of his carrier, me, as a warrior in body, heart and mind am happy to be alive at this time; Evil is aiming for a full take over, we can never permit this!!
Many say that in the end, God wins. All I know is that if I (or we) don’t fight this fight, humanity will become un-naturalized, very apart from God and future generations will lose sight of the beauty and meaning of life, as God created it.
