We are all constantly changing and developing, whether we acknowledge it or not. The difference lies in whether we let this process unfold passively or take control of it. This is the Hero’s Journey—if you choose to embark on it.

In medieval Japan, this path was known as Musha shugyō—a warrior’s pilgrimage. The shugyōsha, a warrior without the protection of family or school, wandered the land to hone his skills and sharpen his mind through direct experience. In doing so, he cultivated the Mind of the Martial Artist, forging resilience, wisdom, and mastery.

Such a hero can be the seed of a Second Enlightenment. And he is desperately needed.

What if, as you age, a meme—a mnemonic—ran through your mind, guiding you toward self-actualization and transformation? We can do this. There is no charge. And as you evolve, you will become proof against chaos and meaninglessness. When the world falls apart—when the shit hits the fan—you won’t be there.

If you recognize the need for this, join us. that there is a war on you. If the enemy wore armor or bore the marks of the undead, you would see them clearly. But they wear suits. They speak through screens. They shape the narrative, suppress thought, and silence dissent.

You must decide—will you take up arms against this force? And if so, how?

This is not unlike the struggle in Assassin’s Creed, where warriors stand against the forces that seek to erase free will. To become a champion and defender of civilization requires more than awareness—it demands training, discipline, and a willingness to transform.
