Defeating the Cosmic Yaldabaoth

1: Draw your sword in your house, with your thumb over your index finger, and plunge it into the wall to test your might 2: Put on the armour of God, with the tight belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness without fright 3. Do not focus on only one object, but keep all things in your cloudless mind and in your eyes’ natural sight 4. Have a position without a position, so your sword will not be in a position confined 5. Examine your terrain, your earth of faith, water of hope, air of love, and light of gnosis. Keep these things in mind 6. Control the situation, guide your vices to a corner where they are confined and you are free 7: Have the piercing sun behind you, blinding Yaldabaoth, and giving your soul a clear-cut view of the world to see 8: When unsureness clouds your opponent, strike with lightning, without moving flesh or fixing your sight 9. Stomp his sword quickly with thunder for divine victory, when you see the pattern. Do this without any fright 10. Do this, and become one who shatters Yaldabaoth’s misty strength without raising your sword, or your might Inspired by The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi (a Japanese swordsman and philosopher)
