The Warrior's Quest
is a vision
that has come to be the way through which
almost every religious, theological or spiritual tradition
(East and West)
has interpreted and molded itself.
While in these traditions there are stories,
practices, rituals and values expressed that mirror aspects
of the Earthfolk vision, practices and values, these are but
minor, subordinated or tolerated stories, practices,
etc., within the dominant Warrior's Quest tradition. For example, despite
Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, nonviolence is not the dominant Christian
practice. Likewise, despite the Buddhist concept of karma and the call
to do the least harm, it is not a predominantly ecological or green
movement. Hinduism's pantheon is replete with goddesses but it is as
mired in and expressed through patriarchal imaginings as other major
religions.
Hopefully, the key and profound differences
between the Earthfolk vision of living peacefully at-home on the Living
Earth and the Warrior's Quest will become clearer as you proceed to
explore this site.
The Warrior's Quest vision:
-
honors the male deity(ies) over
the female(s)
-
presents male energy as the creating
life force or the superior force
-
that uses subordinated and submissive
feminine energy to achieve its objectives
The Warrior Quester:
- seeks to achieve dominion and dominance over the
Earth and all natural forces
- sees himself and his people as chosen and
- other people as an Intimate Enemy to be feared
and conquered
- lives in dread-filled fear of his god, other people,
or the meaninglessness of life itself
- strives to escape his wretched earthly existence
often
- seeking to obtain fulfillment with his deity in
an afterlife paradise
- through being saved or achieving enlightenment
or evolving into a higher state of ultra-human supra-being or super-being
The Warrior Quest practices
include:
- using violence as the first resort to resolve
relational and relationship issues
- proclaiming himself as Good and his enemy as Evil
- never acknowledging his dark side or inner shadow
- use of imagery and language to make his enemy
a sub-human
- subordinating and suppressing—even annihilating—feminine
ways: visions, powers, truth, values and practices
- rituals that seek to redeem his fallen or lesser
self or
- release him from the bondage of his earthly existence
- through mastery over and often suppression of
all his bodily and human senses
- shedding blood as sacrifical offering or proof
of preciousness
The Warrior's Quest story:
- is an ongoing saga of Endless Warring
- driven by a passionate sexual violence
- that anticipates and seeks an End-of-Time cataclysm
wherein
- the Earth is destroyed and all life annihilated
or
- his male deity returns to fashion a New Earth
or
- all human life evolves into a higher state of
ultra-human supra-being or super-being
