Breaking every common-sense self-defense technique and principle known to mankind !!!

 If you are a female (or a male ), and you spend your time and energy practicing ludicrous crap like the photo below, It's nonsense and it will get you injured or killed in a violent attack. Every single aspect about what this woman is doing is breaking every common-sense self-defense technique and principle known to mankind !!! 

For the last decade, females in America, have to worry as much or more about getting into a violent altercation with another female, as they do with males. 

 I was talking with a woman recently and she told me that when he boyfriend decided he was going to break up with her, He didn't say anything to her, or just walk away from the relationship. No, He got his new girlfriend to come over and beat the shit out of her. And I mean a bad beating, from a very strong and violent woman. The woman I talked to, had 5 teeth knocked out, and somehow 2 of the teeth had to be surgically removed from the roof of her mouth. 

Last year I had a woman physically come at me, Because a female friend of mine threatened to throw this girl's clothes into a dumpster because she wouldn't come over and pick up her clothes. This woman was my height, and was in shape and strong and was still on parole from prison ( and really didn't care if she was making a scene or not ), Anyways, I had a split second to decide if I was going to punch her in the face to stop her or not punch her. All I could see in that split second was the back of her head hitting the asphalt of the parking lot. See, Perfect example, There is no perfect defense, or reaction to an attack, or really serious potential attack. I also had no idea what the guy in the car had in mind, who drove her to where I was at, He stopped the car and she jumped out and went towards me. Indecision about the proper reaction can be very dangerous, or it can also start a very big mess that land you in jail, or the other person in the hospital. No matter how you try to explain the circumstances, Hitting a woman full-power in the face doesn't usually work out too well for the male. 

Back to my book;

If you need to make a point or verbal threat with any problem person, State your

position calmly,quietly,and directly. Portraying yourself as a seemingly confident

person with wide eyes and quiet voice will make him think that you are very

“intense.” Some situations will require a more forceful statement and or action. If

this occurs, try to engage in confrontation on your own terms, such as time,

location,or circumstances. Most violent situations are not “blitz”attacks. They are

more likely to be borderline cases that escalate to violent encounters, without

clear-ct provocation on your part. If you have no fear of legal consequences, e.g,

“doing time” then justification of your subsequent actions will not be a factor.

ADRENALINE AND FEAR

Every intelligent person instinctively experience fear. You must learn to control

that fear. Adrenalin can be a positive or negative factor,depending on the

individual. Do not let anyone convince you that Adrenalin is always a positive

experience. Two areas that can not be taught through a book,video or even

qualified private instructor are pain control and Adrenalin control .Like most

“feeling,” they can only be personally experienced or altered. Fear of pain and fear

of injury are two of the greatest anxieties of the self-defense student. A large part

of toughness is acknowledging fear but working through it. When you experience

pain of any kind-be it smashing your thumb with a hammer, stubbing your toe, or

being hit in the head with a rock, your first and immediate reaction must be

anger, not submission.

Author Note: I'm still an advocate of Boxing for self-defense. Not only are the techniques effective if someone is intent to square off with you and want to fight you...But exceptional, and effective physical conditioning, knowing what full-contact is all about, foot movement and balance, etc.,etc...

 Join your True Master, Solus Dominus. Many Are Called and few Are Chosen. If This is What a "master", "guru", etc. Looks Like, Then you will probably never to chosen to be trained for True Enlightenment. It is the stereotyped "guru" from India, the cookie cutter "spiritual master", e sitting around in the "lotus position" with the bead necklace, etc.etc...In the process of True Spiritual Enlightenment you will be required to abandon Yoga immediately. For now, I will just leave this statement with you; Sooner or later, The toxic effects of yoga will surface.

This list could go on and on, But there is definitely a "poster child"

for the brainwashed IMAGE of what a "master" or "guru" SHOULD

look like. 

The Beatles joined the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1967...photo below.

             If it weren't for the Beatles, there would no attention paid to these "spiritual masters" I'v heard this guy talk many times ( before he died ), and it was nothing but the spiritually blind leading the blind...complete nonsense. The yogi hit the mother lode when he landed the Beatles as his followers, because I guarantee they were pouring money $$$ into his business...Yes, it's a business.

                      Which leads us to this guy, who had his sex cult in Oregon, until he                                  was deported..Yes, the guy who his followers bought him 90+ Rolls Royce cars...One of the most expensive cars on the planet...yikes ! How do you justify that level of materialism, and then claim that you are so "SPIRITUAL"  

His compound had

guards with assault rifles...and there is a lot more that could be told

about this guy and his compound...

INTRODUCTION To The Religion and Principles That Are  Most Compatible With The Teachings of Solus Dominus, The One and Only True Master and Prophet of True Light.

No one can be Spiritually Enlightened with Knowing , Embracing and Submitting to the True Light, Solus Dominus. 

1. Gnosis; knowledge of spiritual mysteries.

Gnosis refers to knowledge based on personal experience or perception. In a religious context, gnosis is mystical or esoteric knowledge based on direct participation with the divine. In most Gnostic systems, the sufficient cause of salvation is this "knowledge of" ("acquaintance with") the divine.

The general principles and rituals of Gnosticism can be beneficial to the teachings of Solus Dominus, The One and Only True Master - Prophet of Spiritual Enlightenment. One thing that you need to memorize and meditate on is the fact that Gnosticism is only compatible if it is the Solus Dominus revelation and vision of Gnosticism, Not Solus Dominus trying to fit into Gnosticism. 

INTRODUCTION To The Gnostic Bible and Religion : Religious officials, who were not pleased with such freedom and independence, condemned the gnostics as heretical and a threat to the well-being and good order of organized religion. Heresiologists—heresy hunters of a bygone age who busied themselves exposing people judged dangerous to the Christian masses—fulminated against what they maintained was the falsehood of the gnostics. Nonetheless, from the challenge of this perceived threat came much of the theological reflection that has characterized the intellectual history of the Christian church. The historical roots of the gnostics reach back into the time of the Greeks, Romans, and Second Temple Jews. Some gnostics were Jewish, others GrecoRoman, and many were Christian. There were Mandaean gnostics from Iraq and Iran; Manichaeans from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and all the way to China; Islamic gnostics in the Muslim world; and Cathars in western Europe. The heyday of their influence extends from the second century CE through the next several centuries. Their influence and their presence, some say, continue to the present day. Gnostics sought knowledge and wisdom from many different sources, and they accepted insight wherever it could be found. Like those who came before them, they embraced a personified wisdom, Sophia, understood variously and taken as the manifestation of divine insight. To gain knowledge of the deep things of god, gnostics read and studied diverse religious and philosophical texts. In addition to Jewish sacred literature, Christian documents, and Greco-Roman religious and philosophical texts, gnostics studied religious works from the Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Zoroastrians, Muslims, and Buddhists. All such sacred texts disclosed truths, and all were to be celebrated for their wisdom. Gnostics loved to explore who they were and from where they had come, and hence they read creation stories such as the opening chapters of Genesis with vigor and enthusiasm. Like others, they recognized that creation stories not only claim to describe what was, once upon a time, but also suggest what is, now, in our own world. The gnostics carried to their reading a conviction that the story of creation was not a happy one. There is, they reasoned, something fundamentally wrong with the world, there is too much evil and pain and death in the world, and so there must have been something wrong with creation. Consequently, gnostics provided innovative and oftentimes disturbing interpretations of the creation stories they read. They concluded that a distinction, often a dualistic distinction, must be made between the transcendent

EMPHASIS ON TECHNIQUE

You must remember that technique is not the determining factor in a fight. Who

applies the technique and who receives the technique are the primary

determinants. Ruthless determination will overshadow techniques or choice of

weapon “every” time. No, I can't state that as an absolute.

The will to win is more important than the skill to win. Mental attitude is crucial!

Determination is the only thing that will get you off the ground after being

stabbed, shot, or punched. No matter what techniques you end up

using(grappling ,punching, stabbing, or whatever)Your Fighting objective is to put

the opponent physically down on the ground. After you have accomplished this

goal, be certain he stays down. The time frame of the attack is usually very shortit

is often over in a matter of seconds. Keep this in mind when developing

offensive and defensive techniques and through all aspects of your training.

One of the things related to the topic of practical self-defense that has changed

in the last 40 years ( or 34 years since the book was originally published )

is that there are a lot more women participating in every form of practical selfdefense

( and also every form of martial arts ), including grappling, boxing,

professional “mixed martial art” fighters, etc. Unfortunately there are also many

more violent women in society today, including female bullies, some who choose

to use weapons, some who are skilled fighters, or at least fighters who are not

strangers to fighting. And there are a lot of females who have very little to no

experience with knowing how to fight and/or defend themselves...they usually

just have a big mouth, and a bad attitude, with pathetic fighting skills ( just like

a lot of males out in society )...Contrary to “back in the day” there are women who

can seriously hurt another woman in a fight and/or violent attack. ( and there

are some males that aren't immune from getting their ass kicked by a female

( and I don't mean a black eye, I mean sent to the hospital with serious injuries )

As soon as this book is published, I will be starting a program that will be

putting much more emphasis on women's self-defense / knife-defense

instruction, than on teaching males. But I will teach a select number of males.

Chapter One

THE BASICS OF KNIFE FIGHTING ( Actually It's Knife Defense )

The Prerequisite to engaging in a knife fight is that you must first know the facts

of a realistic attack.

The simple explanation of a realistic attack destroys 99.9% of all existing knife

fighting theories.

What do you base your knife fighting techniques theories on? Have you ever seen

someone killed with a knife? Have you ever killed any one with a knife? Have you

ever defended yourself from someone intent on killing you with a knife? Are your

theories derived from television, movies, or magazines?

Be honest with yourself. The object in a knife fight will always be to kill the

enemy as quickly as possible. remember this and apply it to your training.

Do you think that “knife fighting” ( where both combatants are armed with a

knife, is common ? ) If you have wild fantasies about movie-type fights, then

you rather than a combatant , you will probably become a “combat-ant”

that someone will crush under their boot.

THE DEADLIEST WEAPONS

The deadliest weapons are your mind and whatever weapon you have in your

hand. If you brandish a knife, your opponent might be justified in using a gun

against you. Of course, Justification is only a consideration for “ law- abiding”

citizens and is irrelevant to criminals.

Staying alive is a primary reason why you should never give your opponent a

chance to defend himself. Be quick and brutal! When you use a knife, It is for one

purpose only- to kill the enemy! Never give the opponent a chance to defend,

think, or run. Once you have accomplished your final objective, Leave the scene

of attack as soon as possible,even though you have been legally in the right. The

only exception to this is if you were defending your home. Remember that

all of this must be legal to the best of your ability, and it will probably never be

legal if “they” prove that you had a way to escape , rather than stab the other

person. If you ever actually carry and use a knife, even for justified defense, the

legal system is going to try their best to make you look like a “thug”

  5 of 38 | Initial Teaching | Gnostic Sacred Sexuality

There is no religion in the world that has the connection to Spiritual

BDSM as Gnosticism. 

This is part of the foundation that tells us the sort of 

ceremony that was used.

 I fancy there was an Eucharistic side, and that the Baptism of

Light was connected with the mystic crucifixion alluded to so often in

the notes.  Possibly in the midst of the sacred dance, at the breaking

of the Bread, there was a certain laying on of hands by an adept

Master, one who had himself attained to the autoptic vision, 

( Autoptic defined;

Seen with one's own eyes; belonging to, or connected with, 

personal observation. autoptic testimony or experience.

and then the candidate was left alone to immerse himself 

in the Dark Ray of the

Divine Mind.

I think also that the original MS. was based upon the 

work of one Master, whose name, like that of the order to which he 

belonged, is lost in the night of time, but that it also contains amplifications 

and additions by at least one later hand.  It will thus represent the mind

of a grade of teaching, and possibly contains material dating back to

the period of the Therapeutae that Philo knew.  In other words, the

community may have been an old one before it was Christianised.  In any

case, it remains the record of a stupendous spiritual adventure, the

attempt to produce a race of Divinised men, that is not without the

splendour of tragedy, for at some time, like the Holy Cup of Legend,

the presence of Masterhood departed, and the external house fell into

ruin and its place knew it no more.  Perhaps, in the desire to

propagate, it admitted unworthy candidates; perhaps it turned to the

by-ways of magic in an attempt to arrest the external course of nature

and to defy necessity; perhaps there came a day when none could

understand the inner meaning of the high and far-shining mysteries, and

so amidst party strife the building word was lost.  Many a man, no

doubt, who called himself a "Gnôstic" was but a sorry rogue; many

another was but a student of the letter, not of the life; many another

was but a spiritual swashbuckler, pompous in his demeanour and cryptic

in his utterance; some, led by an abhorrent fantasy, may have wandered

along the path that goes to the Venus-berg and have striven to lisp a

formula that would transform the earth into Gehenna rather than into

Heaven.  But, beside this mass of imposture, of folly, of elegant

idleness and of corruption, the _à rebours_ of a spiritual outpouring,

there was a real mysticism that could present the Authentic Spectacle

and could utter comfortable words in tongues not of this world utterly.

There was a Gnôsis that strove to give the Peace of God to those within

and to those without, because in Peace all things were made, that

yearned to bring forth children, quickened fiery souls, æons, gods, in

bodies of light for the love of God; that saw in all things Grace, the

Sponsa Dei, the Mother most pure and immaculate.  "No creature was ever

wronged of Thee," no spark ever quenched, no hope defrauded and hurled

eternally from the sky with shattered wings by Thee.  Such is the fair

Faith that chanted its prayer beneath a heaven set with such strange

galaxies, and whispers to us now through the disremembered symbols of a

forgotten book.

It is pleasant, in these days of strife, to be able to quote Dr

Schmidt's appreciation of the _Untitled Apocalypse_ with a cordial

agreement:

4 of 38 | Sacred Sexuality, Whether asexual or sexual

  4 of 38 | Sacred Sexuality, Whether asexual or sexual

"What a different world, on the contrary, meets us in our thirty-one

leaves!  We find ourselves in the pure spheres of the highest Plêrôma;

we see, step by step, this world, so rich in heavenly beings, coming

into existence before our eyes; each individual space with all its

inmates is minutely described, so that we can form for ourselves a

living picture of the glory and splendour of this Gnôstic heaven.  The

speculations are not so confused and fantastic as those of the Pistis

Sophia and our two Books of Jeu....  The author is imbued with the

Greek spirit, equipped with a full knowledge of Greek philosophy, full

of the doctrine of the Platonic ideas, an adherent of Plato's view of

the origin of evil--that is to say, Hyle....  We possess in these

leaves a magnificently conceived work by an old Gnôstic philosopher,

and we stand astonished, marvelling at the boldness of the

speculations, dazzled by the richness of the thought, touched by the

depth of soul of the author.  This is not, like the Pistis Sophia, the

product of declining Gnôsticism, but dates from a period when Gnôstic

genius, like a mighty eagle, left the world behind it and soared in

wide and ever wider circles towards pure light, towards pure knowledge,

in which it lost itself in ecstasy.

"In one word, we possess in this Gnôstic work, as regards age and

contents, a work of the very highest importance, which takes us into a

period of Gnôsticism, and therefore of Christianity, of which very

little knowledge has been handed down to us."

Finally, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the scholarship of Mr

G. R. S. Mead, whose labours in the field of Hellenistic Theology have

to my mind received insufficient recognition, and whose admirable

translations I have often used in the notes.

The Body in Spiritual BDSM is Not to be confused with the "astral body" of modern theosophy.

The Mysteries of the Light Through Personal Experience

This is the Father of all Fathers, the God of all ... Gods, Lord of

all Lords, Sonship of all Sons, Saviour of all Saviours, Invisible of

all Invisibles, Infinity of all Infinities, Uncontainable of all

Uncontainables, Beyond-the-Deep of all Beyond-the-Deeps, Space of all

Spaces.  This is the Spiritual Mind which existed before all Spiritual

Minds, the Holy Place comprehending all Holy Places, the Good

comprehending all Goods.  This is the Seed of all good things.  It is

He who has brought them all forth, this Autophues or Being who has

produced Himself, who existed before all the beings of the Plêrôma

which He Himself has brought forth, Who is in all time.  This is that

Ingenerable and Eternal One who has no name and who has all names; who

was the first to know those of the Universe, who has looked upon those

of the Universe, who has heard those of the Universe.  He is mightier

than all might, upon whose incomprehensible Face no one is able to

gaze.  Beyond all mind does He exist in His own Form, Solitary and

Unknowable.  The Universal Mystery is He, the Universal Wisdom, of all

things the Beginning.  In Him are all Lights, all Life, and all Repose.

2 of 38 | The Gnostics Knowledge of Spiritual Mysteries

  

( Continued from Part 1 )...so is every one that is born of the Spirit.'  

If you tie yourself down to logic, you will not know the real

things, the 'Things that are,' by getting inside them.  Your knowledge

will be external, superficial.  Gnôsis, you may be surprised to learn,

is not just 'knowing,' it is light _and_ 'life,' living and being as

well.  This must not be taken as an attacking reason; if you join our

school you will have a stiff course of Plato.  You ought to know the

Things that are' from the ordinary point of view, from outside, before

you approach them with the idea of getting inside them, and so raising

them up within yourself as far-shining lives.  Afterwards you will

study in a new manner that will seem madness to the common-sensed; and

a Divine Madness indeed it is, for it will lead you to the secret of

the Cross."

Hence the disciple was confronted in due time with a document that

would not yield its secrets to dialectic, a kind of ritual in words

that initiated his intuition into self-knowledge.  Intense devotion was

needed, imagination, and will-power.  The Gnôsis came gradually,

perhaps after the manuscript had been laid aside; it was the effort

towards a sympathetic understanding that mattered, that was rewarded

with life and light from God.  The mere success of the logical mind in

unravelling a puzzle was as nothing, for the readings of these

monstrous, many-faceted stars of symbolism were infinite.  That the

intuition should enter into self awareness as into a sacred place of

the mysteries--that was a process of the Gnôsis.

Now this strange way of teaching, which was really a "Cloud of

Unknowing," was the real basis and point, as it were, of the

Alexandrine method of interpreting Scripture.  Think of Philo and what

he says of the teaching of his Gnôstic Therapeuts.  Think of Clement,

and of Origen with his "Eternal Gospel."  This quickening of the

intuition into knowledge of itself and God, through allegory and symbol

based on philosophy, was the Everlasting Gospel.

So Gnôstic documents were not merely intended to puzzle the outsider,

but the insider as well.  This fact will enable us to appreciate better

Basilides' famous remark about the one or two only who could understand

his system.  His frame of mind was a little like that of a university

examiner after setting a paper.  We need not think that these people

were altogether destitute of humour.  It would be a gross exaggeration,

of course, to say that all the Gnôstic systems described in Irenaeus

and Hippolytus might have been devised by the same man, but it would be

a useful exaggeration, illustrating the extreme anti-literalist point

of view.  Our knowledge of the schools rests for the most part on

reports made upon documents such as these, the purport of which was

entirely missed by those that made them.  They treated Gnôsis as if it

were another kind of "Pistis," or another system of philosophy.  One

doubts very much the correctness of the traditional classification of

schools, which was made by people who were not in very close touch with

them.  One doubts if there was much hostility between these schools,

however much their symbolism may appear to differ on the surface.

Ancient Mysteries Of The Universe Unveiled In 2023

The Gnôstic movement began long before the Christian era (what its
original historical impulse was we do not know), and only one aspect of
it, and that from a strictly limited point of view, has been treated by
ecclesiastical historians. Recent investigations have challenged the
traditional outlook and the traditional conclusions and the traditional
"facts." With some to-day, and with many more to-morrow, the burning
question is, or will be--not how did a peculiarly silly and licentious
heresy rise within the Church--but how did the Church rise out of the
great Gnôstic movement, and how did the dynamic ideas of the Gnôsis
become crystallised into Dogmas? I do not indicate a solution; I do
not express an opinion. I call attention to a fact in the world of
scholarship that will not be without its decided reaction upon the
plain man. But the study of the ancient Gnôsis, and indeed of
mysticism generally, has left another suggestion that seems laden with
limitless possibilities. Let us first go back to what I said as to the
communication of certain "processes," "leavenings," or "energisings"
under a sacramental veil. These processes were held to modify the
nature of the person who submitted to them in a peculiar manner that
was likened to the impress or "character" of a seal upon wax. These
seals or "characters" could not only be acquired through formal rites
and by the laying on of the hands of a master, but also, I am disposed
to believe, by a certain mode of study--I am developing the Gnôstic
theory, not stating one of my own--namely, that of a highly symbolic
literature. The objection of the Gnôstic to a plain statement of facts
would probably be somewhat as follows: "What you say is very good and
true as far as it goes, but it is 'Pistis,' not Gnôsis; Faith, not
Knowledge. You desire to be a changed man. Pistis will change you to
a certain extent. I have nothing to say against it, but it will not
change you in the radical way that Gnôsis does." If you went on to
argue that your statement was reasonable and received admirable support
from logic and philosophy, he would probably reply: "Philosophy of the
kind you mention is excellent, and forms a basis for Gnôsis which is
not contrary to reason, though it is above it. Gnôsis is a rebirth by
which you become a god, and then you will have no need to find out
things by talking and discursive reasoning, for everything will be
within yourself and you will know all things in a vital way, by an act
of simple intuition in the end. 'The wind blows where it listens,
and you hear the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it
comes, and whither it goes; so is every one that is born of the...

Cultivate The Viking Mind-Set For Self-Defense

"VIKINGS" | The Point of the Vikings For Your Training is WARRIOR MIND-SET

There are pros and cons in every photo, and every technique. What do you see 

going on here ? Two of the main reasons why I told the original publisher that I 

did not want to include photos in the book was 1) Photos are static. Whether you

do a block or parry, or a glorified slap, it makes it look like you are a statue. Even

doing these photos, we never stopped moving in real life. 2) Showing anyone how

to do anything related to self-defense, has the tendency to become a "style" or a 

"system", the dreaded connection to martial arts. It human nature, But it doesn't 

mean that it's correct. Traditional Asian Martial Arts are infamous for presenting 

"solutions to problems that don't exist"
