Monastic Warrior Doctrine (Part I)

THE IDEA: Came to me in school today as I, of course, sumbled off and starting thinking aimlessly. After the recent revelations and knowledge learned from people and books. (Such as Tiakaie A. and his book, Wasaise) Many other people have indirectly and directly added to my epiphany of "what to do". I knew what I had to do. What was needed. But then It came to me of what I "really need to do" and what I want to do.

I will be doing what I love and be able to run with it. This also adds further to the continual struggle for autonomy, freedom, and personal indigenous sanctions through decolonization. It will total up to direct decolonization of our people. Brining back our old ways through this. It not only adds to my Contract & Purpose and I know I'll feel great doing this but it will reshape "our" world to really create somthing out of me.

"I Am A Confident Determined Man Who Gives Breath To The Noble Way As A Humble Emmissary"

I've always said, in this time of crisis our most important things our indigienous people need is to bring back hardcore strong: the language, the Monastic societies, and apprenticeship of true indiginous abilities. I am going to do somthing that encorporates...all of it. This is somthing that has not been done before. It's been attempted but the concept on how to carry it out and purpose has never been done before. That is what's so magnifcent about it.

"Successfull people do the things that other be don't do..."
This will be somthing that can be adapted to other Indigienous nation going through decolonization with the right leadership and guidence. I am going to do it with my cultural group of my people and that's Salish. One day I hope to create more stones and drop them into the water with other nations. This is due to the cultural difference. I do no want to cross-cultures and make suger-water out of these fine, powerful ways of life.
The fun part is I am not telling you what this concept, idea, epiphany is yet. After I work on it a bit. Once I develop it more and secure more knowledge on the matter, will I release the information about this. Til then, I'll keep you thinking. ;)
Man I am a genious and this is the best Idea I've come up with all year.
