Meditation For Warriors - Subjective Pathworking Meditation

You are going to die. Also, everyone you know and love will also die at some point, some possibly sooner than you. Perhaps worse still, you are going to experience hardships during the course of your life on your way to death.

Some may be quite painful. Whether you live for ten years, fifty years, or one hundred, makes no difference. Death makes no exceptions.

Each of us can expect to have things not go our way at several points during our lives and the sad fact is that most people will lead lives that will be completely unpleasant and consistently experience great pain and suffering. Our reality is such that at any moment we could lose our lives or have our loved ones taken away from us; around every corner could be an accident waiting to happen that could irrevocably change us for whatever amount of time we have left; that we will build things and have them unfairly taken from us or watch them be destroyed. The question is not how do we stop these things, because we can't, the question is, how do we best live in a world where these events are not a possibility, but a reality.

The masses cope with the harsh nature of life by burying their heads in the sand and either pretend like the realities of death and hardship don't exist, or (and as evidenced by the modern rampant use of prescription drugs) build around themselves an impression of reality that is dangerously incorrect. Warriors instead, stare death, hardship, and life trials directly in the face in order to confront it totally prepared. This is done through the ancient practice of subjective pathworking meditation.
