Angel Jewellery. Gorgeous and Wise, some thoughts on Gentleness.
“Gentleness and wisdom are the qualities I find most attractive in a man; it shouldn’t take a woman long to find out if a man is truly a gentle man.” Linda. Angel Jewellery.
Chogyam Trungpa, “The Sacred Path of the Warrior.
“We tend to think that the threats to our society or to ourselves are outside of us. We fear that some enemy will destroy us. But a society is destroyed from the inside, not from an attack by outsiders… In reality, the only thing that can destroy us is within ourselves. If we have too much arrogance, we will destroy our gentleness. And if we destroy our gentleness, then we destroy the possibility of being awake, and then we cannot use our intuitive openness to extend ourselves in situations properly. Instead, we generate tremendous aggression.”
Gorgeous and Wise, more on Gentleness.
Leon Shenandoah, ONONDAGA
“Our Elders have taught us many lessons about becoming a Warrior and how to think and act like one. We have been told about the power of gentleness. We have been told about the power of the stillness. Physical power is about effort. Mental power is the opposite. It’s about being effortless or less any effort. Gentleness is one of the greatest attributes of the Warrior and one of the greatest mental powers. It takes a lot of love to be gentle. Gentleness is not an ego word. Gentleness is the weapon of the Great Spirit.”
Love and Blessings
