The warrior or the Archer is an ancient archetype which is seen in traditions across the world. However, today in many of our philosophical aspirations, we don't think that the qualities of an archer warrior, especially ferocity, is something that is spiritual. In fact, we think that spirituality should be cleansed of ferocity. But the truth of the matter is that if we want to venture into the cave of self-inquiry, we do need a degree of ferocity as well as skill. And these are the two things that the archer warrior archetype held in these traditions.

Non duality is a very important principle of many philosophical traditions. And non duality is considered to be something to aspire for. Because it is said that when we can move beyond divisions of liking something or disliking something, or whether something is right and wrong or good and evil, then we are also able to come into a space that is more compassionate, less judgmental, something that is much more harmonious and more uniting rather than something where we judge not only other people, but also ourselves. However, non-duality is not a space that could always be very comfortable, it is a space that comes with experiences of unease or being unsettled.

Should we always surrender and accept? Is it bad to resist? The current course that I'm doing is called sattva. And it is about the interspaces, or those experiences, and the intelligence between two opposite conclusions, or two dualistic propositions, for example, good and evil, or right and wrong, or in this case between surrender and resistance. In this video I share with you a very simple but beautiful story, which I hope will illustrate for you this interesting space in an archetypal way.

One of our greatest fears is to be expelled from the familiar. When I meet people who are interested in my Individual Program, for many there is a lurking fear—what if my inquiry removes me from my familiar cosmos? Will it mean I have to leave friends and family? I do not suggest at any point that Self-inquiry is about removing oneself from anything. However, we appear to harbour a deep intuition that there is a mismatch between our Self or authenticity, and our everyday reality, therefore turning to Self may entail a transformation of our intimate reality.
