Book Reading:
The author will read from his book, setting the mood for entering the world of Warrior.
Presentation/Discussion:
The author, with those in attendance, will explore the Warrior Nature as an aspect of
spiritual consciousness that is an integral dynamic of spiritual growth and awareness. The great dichotomy of war and peace will be examined through the eyes of Warrior, whereby revealing, in the process, the unconditioned warrior in each and everyone of us. This is the warrior-within who will self-actualize perfectly, if unobstructed, as our action warrior and our feeling warrior. Separate, yet complimentary, these two inner-warriors are the woof and warp of combat mind, by which the warrior stands in the shadow of life and death, and witnesses the insubstantiality
of life. It is this witnessing that is never forgotten.

Prescott writer, Carl Hitchens, will once again take you into the mystical world of Warrior. There he will translate Warrior’s teaching and insights.
Drawing on ancient wisdom and spirituality, mythical transcendent-being, Warrior, elucidates war, life, death, and the meaning of existence. Guiding those arriving at his campfire through the inner workings of the human condition, he infers war to be an ironic outcropping of consciousness “raging” for fuller integration.
