As a fellow Big Man, this is the way. The end goal of all that we do, revolution, struggle, theory, praxis, is a softer world. A softer world where we can all be kinder and gentler, a softer world where we don't have to be at each other's throat for money. Click through to the video please.

Like, of course my body has changed ever since I started going to the gym regularly a year and a half ago. But coupling it with karate now has changed it even further, the different kinds of movements and strength work well together.

One of the results of this is that the practitioner is not important for magic realism whereas they are the core of high magic as the origin point of will.
