WARRIOR WON| . . . In Yoga, Warrior 1 also known as Virabhadra's Pose; "What's really being commemorated in this pose's name, and held up as an ideal for all practitioners, is the "spiritual warrior," who bravely does battle with the universal enemy, self-ignorance (avidya), the ultimate source of all our suffering". - @yogajournal . . . It has been a definite battle for clarity over the past 3 to 5 years through anxiety, depression & PTSD from toxicity surviving this business & personal battles - when I revisited studying Buddhism (don't know why I put it down in the first place) I quickly realized everything I was carrying was not my own. I became a waste basket for the failures of others. When I learned of the concept of "othering": view or treat (a person or group of people) as intrinsically different from and alien to oneself; it all made sense. Read Toni Morrison's The Origin's of Others. All of the destructive [isms] in the world are people wrangling with their own identity & the unwillingness to share & create space for others to do the same. Humans have an obssessive need to justify their own world by nullifying others in an effort to create value. A multitude of worlds CAN exist at the same time - we shouldn't feel the need to colonize one another. The ultimate violence is to prohibit others from fully realizing there own existence.
