When corrupt or mislead passions go beyond the individual, & become both legally & religiously sanctified by nations, it forces humanity to face a vital question: how does one survive when fear disguises itself as reason? The question of survival, fear, and the fallibility of so called truths must have been in every mind when, in the year 1480, King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella of Spain gained papal approval for the initiation of one of history's most notorious doctrines: the Spanish Inquisition.

Philosophical movements enter the social arena, flourish for a time, then birth new movements from the wisdoms of their qualities and the disenchantment from their follies. Study of the 15th century reveals no lack of amenity from this very concept, as aptly demonstrated in the subject of Humanism. It is a true paradox of late 15th century society that such a mentality as Humanism could co-exist in the same period as the fanaticism of the Spanish Inquisition.

The world is a stage & we are the actors, but our lines are being written by another's hand. We can do a bit of improvisation, make decisions that would seem to alter the script, & entertain our audience of notions in a performance most believable. So long as we're content to play our roles the directors & scriptwriters are pleased, & life continues as it always has. Yet, I wonder if such is right & if we too bare a responsibility for the course of our lives and the stage on which we live.

This article is a prelude to my book "Warrior of Necessity:The Art Of Psychic Defense", which I am hoping to make available sometime within the next six months and will include within it a far more in-depth discussion of the subject. Due to popular request, & unfortunately popular need as well, I have decided to present this article to the public so those requiring such information might at least get a start. Psychic ability is, for this purpose, the equation of emotion + will + focus = ability.

Beneath the sound of thunder and the roar of impressive lethality, behind the drumming of hearts in adrenaline and the taps of steel venom, there is a chorus of cries by the death of innocence, the moans of suffering, and the fall of humanity. War, my friends and foes, is tragedy laid upon tragedy, until all good life is smothered in the ash of brutality. There is no glory here.

Humanity is faced with the moral predicament of maintaining our spiritual values in the shadow of desperate adversity. Cruelty, greed, and corruption have seized almost total control in the world arena. Lies and a long history of unscrupulous acts have contrived to put masters into positions of authority over slaves. They manipulate our economies, international justice, world resources, and virtually every other aspect of corporate and even personal life.

Truth can be a hard thing to find, but once found it can sometimes be an even harder thing to face. What's more is that there are so many people out there that work very hard to see to it that we don't get all the truth. There are those who know that truth is power, and so believe that if truth can be kept exclusive then they can have power over others. They begin to fear truth because if it became known by others then there would be no more lies to hide behind.

"We are all one". . . it has become a common phrase. With the acceleration of our consciousness and the resurgence of spirituality that has been and continues to occur within society, the awareness of this profound point has become integral to our understandings. The value of this simple realization can not be overstated, especially in the light of the many challenges that we collectively are facing at this time. And yet, as true as all of this is, I believe there to be "one more". . . the self.

White hats and black hats, heroes and villains . . . the forces of good against evil. Throughout our history we have been bombarded with the concept and existence of moral duality. The endless ebb and flow of engineered oppositions and social irrigation draw from dramatic examples a conceptualization of these polar frequencies. It spreads them through the channels of culture and control mechanisms to then be saturated in our hearts and wills and understandings.

It is about connecting to a new and broader dimension of reality . . . a higher dimension and a dimension that largely lays dormant within most of us already. So long as so many continue to just skim the surface of understanding who and what we are, and why we are here, we will forever find ourselves stumbling over the same stones that have held humanity down from reaching its potential throughout history . . . a potential that should have otherwise long been achieved
