21 Guidelines To Life by Musashi
21 Guidelines To Life by Musashi
I am a drifter, writer, engineer, lover of heavy boozing and smokes. Bon Vivant.
Compared with Kerouac, Thompson, Hemingway, Sanction, Rimbaud. Heck,
ambidextrous I am, Miyamoto Musashi even, but let’s not taint his hallowed name.
For years I’ve been reading, and Zen books. Then recently I see people advising
books I have read LONG ago, like it’s some new fab.
That said, the following is a free guide, and also freely available on the internet.
People, however, sometimes don’t know where to look.
Enjoy.
The 21 Principles to Life
1. Accept Everything as it is.
7. Never be jealous.
18. Do Not seek to Possess goods or Fiefs for your old age.
20. You may abandon your body, but you must preserve your
Honor.
Why this guide? Not gonna lie, it is from Dokkodo, the Way of Walking alone by
Master Musashi. Why present it here then?
Cos the World NEEDS it. Now more than ever. Tumultuous scenarios are around
us. Corona. Stocks falling. Racism. Womens attention inflating, due to social media.
E-thottery. Heck, some think simping is kingshit. Fuck outta my face.
SJW’s. Beta bucks, and cucks, and people fucking less, or without reason, and with
abandon, and people give TOO MANY FUCKS.
The world is ill, and ain't no one thats gonna fix it, imo. I am not a doomsayer. Just
following along the lines of Michael Jackson - take a look in the mirror, Jocko
Willink - take EXTREME OWNERSHIP, and Hierocles Circles - take care of
YOURSELF first, before saving the world.
To bring back balance to the world. And if not. Just a small pond of people will be
affected, who will influence the world.
No I seek to win. In all facets of life. Therefore, I need allies. My allies need to win.
To be balanced. In all facets of life.
You can circlejerk a very long time and come to the following conclusion:
1. Health
2. Wealth
3. Relations
I will not give you more tools than you need. One tip: Your greatest weapon in your
arsenal is your mind. It is THE most lethal weapon at your side. The Rules of
Musashi sharpens the mind.
Your mind enables you to take care of your health. Seek Wealth. And build better
connection, make more friends, fuck more, love more.
How
Try the following. Memorize the 21 rules. As I have. Repeat it over and over. Till
you know it by heart.
Then start meditating. (Free guide coming, if there is demand for it)
And you will see they resonate with YOU. In ALL facets of your life.
You went broke and can only afford plain stale foods? 13. Do not seek to pursue the
good taste of food.
The Dokkodo, the 21 rules, is indomitable. It is a fucking shield. A defense all that
tries to harm you in life.
Once you’ve committed the rules to memory, they will surge up, speaking to you,
with your inner voice, in times of turmoil.
Take it from me. The photo you see on the cover. Tallinn.
I sat in a monk pose. Closed my eyes. Started meditating. His voice, mixed with
mine, started booming.
Final quick tip if you’re getting high on reprogramming yourself. Making yourself
into an immortal warrior monk DEMI-GOD: Tape yourself saying the Dokkodo, 21
RULES, over and over. Tape it. And listen to yourself.
Put yourself in a damn Trance, like Musashi did, right before his final bout with
Sasaki Kojiro, at Ganryu. His ultimate duel.
Do the same.
HOOA.
