The books will tell you if the trad is right for you- if they leave you hungering for more and such. But they will not teach you. Only direct sustained in-person contact with an initiate, who is ready and willing to teach YOU will do that. <br /><br />Warrior traditions like mine are similar to others. My teacher, for example, had me read Shambhala, which is a warrior path steeped in Tibetan Buddhism. It helped me lots. <br /><br />I must tell you, being a warrior is often lonely, as you cannot be afraid to eschew the masses, even if they claim to be friends and peers. My best to you!Witch Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230271988961202618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407720217414346143.post-28344688409860246052011-12-09T07:45:55.439-05:002011-12-09T07:45:55.439-05:00Dear Lilly:

My reactions: I got comfort, but you also unleashed a storm of thoughts/ideas in my head. *sigh* Like what you and others before you have said, "knowledge is not comfortable." It's not like having a mental patch-up with 'brick and cement.' ('Brick and cement' stops you from moving on, growing. Knowledge doesn't.) <br /> The one by Cholla is more thought-provoking. There's a sense of understanding it deep inside, yet partially confused on the surface. Will the books you recommended before on the Feri Tradition help me understand more? (They could only be bought outside my country.) <br /><br />Again, THANKS.Fedelynnhttp://fmjemena.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
