This is the way of the Peaceful Warrior.

I guess this video briefly explains my philosophy.


Symbols are important. They incorporate meaning and they transport messages. People send and receive messages through symbols and symbolic practices. Thus, communication is based on the understanding of symbols.

"The world of symbols bypasses the intellect and acts on powerful sensory cues"

FIRE = the spirit of LOVE
AIR = emotions / the spirit (the subconscious mind)
WATER = the Mind (the conscious mind)
EARTH = the Body

EARTH/BODY
we are of the earth, let us be like earth.

firm and resilient, calm and nourishing, hardened with discipline. Your foundation must be strong as that of the foundations of the earth, it is shaped by force of will.

WATER/MIND
we are made of water, let us be one with it.

a deep ocean with uncharted territory, containing unknown specimens. An awareness and understanding of this element is important to remain in calm and still waters, or risk dark oceans of fearsome tides, sinking deeper into the unknown, smothering the light. Do not fight the current, instead let it flow to and through you.

AIR/SPIRIT(EMOTIONS)
We long for air, let us be moved by it.

swirling winds that come and go, flowing around us with ghostly awareness and always felt, when gentle and soft they are like unseen hands caressing empty faces but beware of the destructive force of unforgiving storms.

FIRE/LOVE
We harness the fire, let us be consumed by it.

The brightest of sparks, that swells into flame, scattering the darkness, and keeping it at bay, fierce and relentless, the source of warmth and light, fueled by the understanding that it will not burn forever, and does not need to. its strength lies in the sureness of your faith.

ALL-SEEING EYE: A universal symbol representing spiritual sight, inner vision, higher knowledge, wisdom.

EYE OF HORUS: it represents the eye of Egyptian SUN-god Horus who lost an eye battling Set. Pagans use it as a charm to ward off evil. (See All-Seeing Eye)

CIRCLE (sacred hoop/ring): An ancient and universal symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, the goddess, and female power. To earth-centered religions throughout history as well as to many contemporary pagans, it represents the feminine spirit or force, the cosmos or Mother Earth, a sacred space

TRIANGLE: Pointing upwards, it symbolizes fire, male power. To Christians, it often represents the Trinity. Pointing down, it symbolizes water, female sexuality

WORLD TRIAD: Originally an oriental symbol, it was adopted by western Gnostics as an emblem of cosmic creativity, "the threefold nature of reality"... In Japan it was maga-tama or mitsu tomoe, the world soul.... In Bhutan and Tibet, it is still known as the Cosmic Mandal, a sign of the Trimurti. Like the yin yang, it also represents eternity and in my symbol it represents the balance between mind, body and spirit.
The center of this symbol (in yellow) represents the "hub" signifying unity of the three powers same as in the "Threefold" symbol or the "Triple spiral". (less info)
