How to Train the Mind the Samurai Way




Miyamoto Musashi
Miyamoto Musashi (宮本 武蔵, circa 1583–1645) was a Japanese Samurai swordsman, strategist, artist (who drew Hotei Watching a Cockfight shown above), and writer who became renowned through stories of his unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in 62 duels [3][a].

Musashi is considered a kensei ("sword saint") of Japan [4]. He was the founder of the Niten Ichi-ryū (Nito Ichi-ryū) style of swordsmanship, and in his final years authored The Book of Five Rings (五輪の書, Go Rin No Sho) and Dokkōdō (獨行道, The Path of Aloneness). More
(Presence & Blade) Samurai swordsman Miyamoto Musashi trained the mind to follow commands instead of emotions.

This method comes from Japanese philosophy about life and works by reshaping the power of the subconscious mind, where resistance, excuses, and hesitation are born. Learn:
  • How to stop negotiating with the mind
  • Why most people fail at self-control despite motivation
  • The real strength and weakness of discipline in mental training
  • Simple Japanese meditation techniques that build inner authority
  • How this approach reflects the eight Japanese habits that can change life
  • A practical way to understand how to maintain discipline in life consistently.
This is not about forcing the mind. It is about training it so that obedience becomes natural.





  • 00:00 – The hidden reason the mind refuses to obey
  • 00:45 – When we realize our mind is in charge (David’s awakening)
  • 04:10 – Musashi’s core revelation: We are not our mind
  • 07:40 – Forging obedience the Samurai way (training through resistance)
  • 12:10 – Why big commands fail and small commands win
  • 15:30 – Cutting off escape routes before the mind rebels
  • 19:10 – Training immediate action (no delay, no debate)
  • 22:30 – Ending the civil war inside our head
  • 26:00 – What a fully obedient mind looks like in real life
  • 28:40 – Retraining disobedience into absolute control
  • 31:18 – The path forward: Command or be ruled.
When Buddhists Attack (Mann)
Some scholars like D.T. Suzuki see the term wu-nien (無念, "without thought," "without recollection," with nien possibly rendered as smṛti, "mindfulness," "memory") as being synonymous to wu-xin [2, 12].

Furthermore, while wunien is common in the texts of the Southern School of Zen, the texts of the Northern School prefer the term "freedom from thought" or "freedom from conceptualization" (離念) [13].

💬 COMMENT: Where does your mind disobey you the most right now?
 
Just do it (without paralysis by analysis)
No-mind (Mushin calligraphy/cathexis-life)
NO-MIND: The term 無心 contains the Chinese character for negation, "not" or "without" (無), along with the character for heart-mind (心).

Likewise, in Sanskrit, the term is a compound of the prefix a- (negation) and the word citta (mind, thought, consciousness, heart).

In China, the term came to mean a state in which there is no mental activity, or a mind free of all discrimination and conceptualization, making it similar to the Buddhist Sanskrit term nisprapañca [9] and the Sanskrit term nirvikalpa [10].

The Zen zero is the enso.
Another similar Sanskrit term is amanasikāra ("non-thinking," "mental non-engagement"), which is found in the works of the 11th century tantric Yogi Maitripa [11].

Some scholars also offer other Sanskrit terms as being the source of the Chinese term wunien, including: a-cintya, a-vikalpa, or a-saṃjñā [2]. More

The Battle for Berkeley (LIVE video)


LIVE: BERKELEY COUNTER-PROTEST, Bay Area Rally HUGE UNREST Antifa BLM (8/27/17)
LIVE 🔴 Berkeley protest, "Bay Area Rally Against Hate" rally - MAJOR UNREST Antifa, BLM, ISO

Large protests against far-right in S.F.
Authorities in Berkeley, San Francisco, and Alameda County prepared for an influx of fringe-right supporters over the weekend, hoping to squelch the assemblies from turning violent -- like they have in the past -- through a series of legal maneuvers and bureaucratic red tape. And it seems to be working: Patriot Prayer has twice canceled its event in San Francisco and the organizer of a fringe-right rally in Berkeley is urging people not to come. More

After an anonymous source provided Unicorn Riot with access to Discord chat servers being used to plan… (unicornriot.ninja)

DATA RELEASE: “Unite the Right” planning chats demonstrate violent intent
Charlottesville, VA – As white supremacist groups continue to hold “free speech” events in the wake of the deadly hit-and-run murder…
 
  • Run! The cops are fighting fire with fire!
    ANTIFA (Anti-Fascist Movement) is good and cool and its anarchist members seem to be coming from a good motivation to oppose oppression -- but to deny free speech to anyone? Wisdom Quarterly disagrees. We side with the ACLU in saying that, "The antidote to hateful speech is not silence but more speech." And to use and threaten physical violence? All power to the people. Who takes away our power? Violent police. Now will Antifa do the violent policing? How is that any improvement? It's good to F sh*t up but that's because S is so f*ck*d up right now that subverting the dominant paradigm is a good thing. "Peace," as the Buddha, MLK Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh, Gandhi, and the mothers of many black men murdered by cops would say. When you fight violence with violence, no matter who comes out ahead, violence has won.
Antifa holds up cloth sign: "FUCK THIS SHIT" at MLK Jr. Park in Berkeley, CA (WQ)

NOTES from counter-protester Aaron Connelly: Nazi groups: Proud Boys, Rise Against, Rise Above, DIY Nazi gang in LA/OC, Identity Europa, Hollywood McGinis, racist white-Latino Colombian Johnny Benitez, Augustus Invictus is an outed racist Nazi...
 
OTHER NOTES: "Khakistan" is a racist wonderland, BAMN = By Any Means Necessary, counter-protesters outnumber right wingers more than 100:1 at Berkeley rally, "Avenge Charlottesville, Defend Your Community" - reads large black and red sign carried in by Antifa, which police tugged at and tried to steal.

Minneapolis marches in solidarity with murdered anti-racist Heather Heyer
White racists came to riot. Police let them.
Minneapolis, MN – Hundreds of anti-racists and anti-fascists marched in solidarity with Heather Heyer, two days after the white supremacist terror attack in Charlottesville that took Heather’s life.
An effigy of [murderer] James Fields, the domestic terrorist who killed Heyer, was burned in front of the Hennepin County Jail and an Anti-Fascist flag was raised up the flag pole.
 
Heather Heyer was one of many hundreds of counter-protesters who were in Charlottesville, Virginia, voicing their opposition to a white nationalist, white supremacist, racist, NAZI, KKK gathering called "Unite the Right."
  • (See below for Unicorn Collective's coverage live from Charlottesville)
The event started outside of the state GOP headquarters building on Franklin Avenue in the Seward neighborhood of South Minneapolis. Speakers spoke against racism and white supremacy and a march went from Seward through Cedar-Riverside and ended in front of the Hennepin County Jail in downtown Minneapolis. More
