Strength
By
Benny Podda
The quest for strength, the quest for power, in its basic essence is man’s
quest to be “more than himself.” This is a basic, instinctive, seed drive that
carries him forward through his own personal evolution.
The quest for strength, the quest for power, is man’s quest for an increased
sense of being to feed the insatiable lust for the taste of his own blood, to
drink deeply from the cup of spiced and foaming wine until it is drained to the
last drop. For a man can’t say, “I am,” until the cup that he was handed on his
first moment screaming from the womb has been emptied.
There are those who dare not drink. There are those who take tiny and timid
sips, barely tasting. And there are those who seek to ravish and devour with an
unconsummated and insatiable thirst for more…and yet more.
Those who seek with every fiber of their quivering flesh, with every cracked
and splintered bone and with every snapped ligament and tendon. The seekers of
the mysterious grail risking all and everything for one brief glance inside the
locked palace of the king!
That one instant, that one moment, when the man experiences the peak ecstasy
of human life called strength in her naked and pure seductiveness and makes her
his own. And then, having once known her, he must have more for he has been
seduced. He has felt strength.
He will pursue her to the extinction of his being or beyond. Perhaps she will
even bring about his utter annihilation in that moment of satiation. And he will
die in the midst of battle with his eyes raised to that which is more than
himself.
With hands outstretched, screaming from a heart ablaze, he will cry, “Deeper
than the mortal zone where individuals and multitudes struggle, in the inmost
depths of the boundless essence that penetrates all, I have found myself. At
long last I have arrived outside the confines of human society. A wave of
triumph frees my soul as I surrender myself to the force which turns the axis of
the very universe.”
A deep process of renewal has taken place within the man. Now, it will never
be possible for him to be human except on another plane. He has found strength!
And you thought you were just pullin’ a fuckin’ deadlift!
This is the state from which I approach “training,” the qualitative aspect of
strength and power, that which once was a science and an art of warrior kings
known as “ars regia,” or the royal art.
To tap into and utilize on the physical plane as “strength,” an unlimited
force from a higher plane through the agency of a warrior’s heart. The art of
bringing unlimited and unmanifest force into manifestation through the physical
as “strength.”
This art demands the absolute focus and undivided attention that was a rhythm
in the hearts of the conquerors. It ain’t for sissies, it ain’t for pretenders,
and it ain’t for those who believe in limitation.
Amen.
