Liberation from the bondage / entrapment of the non ending cycle of life (birth & death) is clear to us not only through experience, but through observation. Here it is in  ascending order of suffering as per understanding of the elements and  Bhagavat Gita  of  Sanatana dharma : A) sattavic (goodness) practice / Mahayana (internal / right hand Path of Return - balance via earth & air) 1) simplicity & non physicality / 🌍 modeling for earth dominant characters / "surrender your intellect to Me" / Raja Yoga (king union) by destroying pleasure instinct / usually  highly alkaline diet / regarded as 2nd highest  /  the Path of  ِAusterity 2) ritual (prostration & chants with passion & concentration) / 💦 modeling for water dominant characters / "always remember Me" / Bhakti Yoga (devotion union) by cracking at survival instinct / usually  alkaline diet / regarded as 4th highest (easiest) / the Path of Devotion B) rajasic (badness) practice / 

Martial arts are masculine   spiritual paths to enlightenment, which technically (yes not practically ) should emphasize simplicity & austerity (earth element) as the primary means to ascension. It doesn't often spiritually work due to the following: 1. People naturally get into it due to excess water element spurred need to show off, get a thrill, or an activity due to boredom or inactivity (or movie inspiration), or for excess fire element as proactive self defense usually due to some unpleasantly experienced danger or   threat , which although is definitely possible, very unlikely these days.  Life naturally has problems & shortcomings, and it is important to learn how to respond to persevere & control the situation (the martial part) via the physical-mental masculine fire element, calmly & compassionately (the art part) via the relatively high non-physical feminine air element, creatively & intuitively via the dual-gender any-form ether element, but most

War ... always has been, and as long as there is ego therefore selfishness & separation ... it always will be.  Take  Istanbul for example. It has been ravaged with almost 13 invasions since (as early as recorded) 2000 BC: 1) 2nd millenium BC: first inhabitants of the Asian side of Istanbul area 2) 7th century BC: Greek king Byzas colonized the Bosphorus strait, the only access to the Black Sea and named the city Byzantium. 3) 6th century BC: Persian  Empire ruled the city 4) 4th century BC: Alexander the Great conquered it. 5) 2nd century AD: Roman  Empire's Septimus Severus conquered it 6) 4th century AD: emperor Constantine the Great made Byzantium the capital calling it Constantinople and built on 7 hills like Rome, while eastern empire was called Byzantine Empire. 7) 6th century: during Justinian I's rule, riots destroyed it but rebuilt with outstanding structures such as Hagia Sophia (meaning holy wisdom) and monuments in honor of the age of Byzantines. 8) 7th c

Theist v.s. Atheist & Gnostic v.s. Agnostic (faith in ascending order: Gnostic Atheist to Gnostic Theist) I don't believe in  GOD, as   an ego or individual. I believe (and know) that He is the complete opposite: the omnipresent omnipotent and omniscient united & uniting unknowable that manifested the material world through the mind through various levels of manifest, especially through Adi (the first) / Adam (human) as Shiva . He even referred to Himself through Gautama as Buddha , Jesus as Christ , and Gabriel as Allah .
