I am writing this mainly to clarify certain things I have written in past posts so there is no misunderstanding from over generalization, omission, or brevity, and also a personal story of how I truly came to be coming soon. We all know how deceptive appearances are and from what I am being told there is a misunderstanding.

The Will To Power, Book 4 Discipline and Breeding, section 912:

"I absolutely cannot see how one can later make up for having failed to go to a good school at the proper time. Such a man does not know himself; he walks through life without having learned to walk; his flabby muscles reveal themselves with every step. Sometimes life is so merciful as to offer this hard schooling once more later: sickness for years perhaps, that demands the most extreme strength of will and self-sufficiency; or a sudden calamity, affecting also one's wife and child, that compels one to a form of activity that restores energy to the slack fibers and toughness to the will to live. The most desirable thing is still under all circumstances a hard discipline at the proper time, i.e., at that age at which it still makes one proud to see that much is demanded of one. For this is what distinguishes the hard school as a good school from all others: that much is demanded; and sternly demanded; that the good, even the exceptional, is demanded as the norm; that praise is rare, that indulgence is nonexistent; that blame is apportioned sharply, objectively, without regard for talent or antecedents."

To be clear I agree somewhat with this, but not as an attitude carried out for life, but rather for the right time and place, and the gods can and will place extremely difficult tests on those they deem worthy who have also tested themselves in this way.

When I was younger, I was told by the gods, “Do not waste your youth,” after a night of drinking and partying while I was still young, and then again several years later under the same circumstances. Why? Because of the level I had reached through physicality as a pathway to spirituality and in the making of the ambrosia, of which I have only had a small taste. I fully expect skepticism about these claims, so here I am writing this.

This is entirely because of what I went through when I was a young soldier. 11 Bravo was my MOS, and it seems more than coincidental: 11B (when read as the numbers 11 and 2) are the prime divisors of 22, which, in my opinion, suggests this was created intentionally to connect with the Torah and the Hebrew alphabet whenever the U.S. is being drawn into fighting for the Jews. I was also among those chosen for the task of “letting the enemy know they have lost,” using a language the Jews understand perfectly which is gematria.

I even had the opportunity to become the 666th member of Hells Army on 6/6/06, although, truth be told, I didn’t take it. I stumbled upon the Hells Army section in the old Yahoo Groups when there were 665 members on that date and knew I would have been the 666th if I had joined. My jaw dropped because I knew this was no coincidence and I understood what was being asked of me.

I was young, weak, antisocial (still am), and not up for the task, since I lacked discipline. About a month later I was shipped off to Fort Benning to begin my basic training.
