"A warrior, I think, is someone who discerns what is theirs to do. And maybe a warrior's role is not to fight and kill necessarily in a particular instance, but maybe to protect, maybe to build community."

"So when I'm talking about a light warrior, it really is someone who, if anything, is embracing their own shadow and not just wanting to get rid of it, but really learning from it, evolving through it."

"This society's addiction to this dopamine hit, I think is perpetuating our outer manifestation of war."
