The Original Nightmare Before Christmas

 



The Nightmare Before Xmas?!?


.Let’s talk about Krampus, the original nightmare before Christmas!
.
Krampus is the evil version of Santa Claus.
.
He is a half goat/half demon looking thing in chains, with a long pointed tongue and razor sharp fangs. Instead of bringing good kids presents, his job is to punish naughty children with everything from swatting them with birch branches to drowning, eating, and dragging them down to the pit of hell.
.
The Krampus legend originated in the Germanic regions of the Alps as a tale to encourage children to behave. According to Christian lore, Krampus was conquered by St. Nicholas, he demanded their obedience (apparently there was more than one!?) making them part of his legion.
.
Whatever they are, trust me when we tell you, only the mind of Stephen King or Clive Barker could conjure creatures more nightmarish.
.
Anyway, ‘ol Krampy also visits PeaceWalkers too!
.
And, he (figuratively) dispenses the same punishment on the naughty ones.
.
What kind of naughty PeaceWalkers?
.
Well, for example, folks that:

.
* Don’t work toward Most Good / Least Harm for everyone.

* Who aren't keeping up on their training. 

* Protectors who are protecting the wrong things, like money, their ego's or misguided agendas.

* Folks who procrastinate starting their protector journey altogether.

* Excuses! Krampus LOVES punishing folks w/excuses!

* People who think and act like victims. (It's the fiery pits for you...)

* Spend all their time & money learning stuff that just won't work in the real world

* Even those who are working on really effective tactics, but not rounding out their training to include ethics, verbal negotiation, a force continuum, or protecting others. (It's a big ol' piece of coal for you too!)

* Or those who never bother learning from the old school guys who've been there / done that when it comes to training and application.

* Armchair know-it-all's who get all of their training from youtube. Are big on opinion and trolling, but short on actual experience.

* PeaceWalker's who don’t invest the first hour of each day into their own Mission and success.

* Mindlessly chase training "hacks" instead of learning & mastering the fundamentals.


The list drags on and on through the cold wintery woods…

Anyway, Krampus is Out There Right Now! Skimming the shadows. Seeking those PeaceWalkers to punish.

So, if you’re engaging in any of the naughty activities above, then God help you.
Because nobody else will…

But, there is a way to keep Krampus at bay.  (if it’s not too late already!)

If you're already a Private PeaceWalker Member, breathe easy, you're safe!

HOWEVER...

If you're not yet, you only have until TOMORROW, to rectify your evil neglectful ways...

Get on my free home study course NOW or succumb to the fate Krampus has for your!

Here's the link:


It may save you and it always puts the fear of God into ol' Krampy should he come stalking you.

But hurry, you're running out of time! Krampus is checking his naughty list and you would be wise not to be on it!


Keep going,
~Craig

An Uncomfortable Situation

  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
