Book content

...The staff is akin to the Path - it's straight and unassuming at first glance, but it holds many intricacies, which are impossible to grasp with a limited mind. The staff doesn't yield its secrets to those who are impatient, arrogant, cowardly, or corrupted with affluence - only those who understand the essence of things can hope to unlock its potential.

To learn the staff you need to understand three principles:

- All desires must be reined in. All thoughts must serve the High Purpose.
- Emotions lead you astray from the Path and therefore they lead you to ruin.
- The staff is not just your weapon. It's a continuation of your very self.
