“What you focus on, you will become.”
One of our peacemaker training grads David Lauer, before his accidental death, was working in military facilities here in Colorado with training military personal in peacemaking skills: mindfulness, council, deep listening, stress management, and reported to us that he was very inspired to work with the military and saw great promise in bringing peacemaker skills into this arena.
Recently I ran across this website “Warrior Mind Training” and am not quite sure what to make of this. It looks to be some sort of mindfulness and PTSD stress reduction training on the one hand and on the other hand, it looks to be a training in how how to as the site says “strengthen and forge their minds into the ultimate fighting weapon.” What do you make of this site? Is this using mindfulness practices to train people how to achieve better ‘victories’ over the enemy or to create more peace, clarity and stablity in their minds?

It is fine that you seek for a more peaceful world. That is also what we warriors seek. The difference is we have to go and stand on the battle lines so that you can even have a society that allows you to be peaceful. WE are those that stand against what goes bump in the night. Our minds need to be just as strong as yours to accomplish this task and come home mentally sane. Many warrior cultures used techniques such as this to help themselves. Being a warrior is not a bad thing as you seem to think it is. Peace at all costs is not peace, its slaughter. Something that you and those that think like you have been able to forget because of the blood shed by many warriors on the line. You can be as peaceful and nice as you wish. Always remember that it is we few who must tow the line for everyone else.
