13. Nourishment

We are sustained by others.

There is not a being that exists on the Earth that is sustained on it’s own. All Beings; human, animal, plant, mineral, insect - we are all sustained through the life and death of other Beings. This is the great dichotomy of joy and suffering in the physical realm.

Joseph Campbell’s “warrior” is the individual who will stand for their own vision in the world. The warrior has the courage to live from their authentic Self.

(Obviously not in the sense of soldier or combatant in large scale violence. We can view the “warrior” as the “hero” for we are all the heroes of our own lives.)
