Very important message!!!!

2009-01-02T13:31:00.000-08:00

Dear Parents and Fire Mountain Friends,

I just returned from an incredible week with teens and I am so inspired, so on fire, I want to get this IMPORTANT MESSAGE to you NOW! After reading this short email, click the link at the end to see a truly moving video! Watch and listen to teens talk about their lives in a way that will amaze you! I dare you not to tear up!

First some bad news:
1 in 4 children and teens are thought to have some form of mental illness.
Prescriptions written for methylphenidate have increased by a factor of five since 1991 (8.8 million prescriptions for minors per year for ADHD). Production of Adderall and Dexedrine, also used to treat ADHD, has risen 2,000 percent in nine years. (Yes, many need it, but this many?)
These children and teens are our future leaders, our next generation and there are not yet enough of us to help guide them!
Some Really Good News:

Millions of people like you know that what you focus on expands. And like you, they are choosing growth, compassion, service and beauty.
Predicament graduate Bonnie Kellog has donated enough money to place two teens into our Rites of Passage program!!!!
Help is here! Bonnie is offering you and your friends a way to help through her non-profit organization, The Calliope Foundation.

Carlos Castaneda said, "The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness." Where do you hold attachment to the definitions others have created about you? Can you surrender to your truth? Can you open your heart to all? Even your demons? Right Now?

2009-01-02T13:19:00.001-08:00

Warriorship is a continual Journey. To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life. (Chogyam Trungpa)

Being yourself has risks yes? We fear authenticity because of the relationships we've made while being inauthentic may end. In the end however, we only risk what we value.

When we manifest abundance, or love, or the purpose of our lives from the universe when we are not sure of who we are...as others are kept in the dark to our truth...the results would generally be lower than our expectations.To get honest results from the universe, you MUST give the universe and everyone in it, your complete honesty. This takes courage...

...something a warrior possess within. Find it and live your truth.

Then teach the children how to. The desire to be just who they truly are overwhelms them. SHOW THEM.

With love and honor,
Aaron Huey

To all my Asian warrior friends

2009-01-02T13:16:00.000-08:00

I am deeply moved by all of the powerful emails and notes I have received from you regarding my Kids Warrior Camp that I hold each year in the US.

The answer is YES I have considered bringing the Kids Warrior Camp to Asia. In fact, TODAY I was speaking at length with a Enlightened Warrior Graduate from week 1 in Malaysia about gathering resources to make this idea a reality this next year.

I must tell you how honored I am to be invited back to the land that I was first taught the path of the Warrior as a young teen. Asia holds a deep place in my heart for the life changes that I made those many...many...many years ago. Being invited by so many of you to return and work with your children moves me. Thank you for the kind thoughts, words and trust you are placing in me.

If you know of or perhaps even have any resources that might make this project work, please contact me at info@firemountainprograms.com. Here is a short list of some things we would need:
* a large space for 50-100 children ages 6-14 to run climb, yell, roughhouse, throw spears and axes, shurikens, archery, sweat lodges, blanket tosses, bon fires and general craziness and fun that 50-100 children revealing their inner warrior spirit would need. (Kids camp facilities are great!)
* 2-4 Very Large tents that sleep up to 20 kids
*Bathrooms, kitchen facilities, and open space
*nearby hardware and grocery stores

....and most important...

Access to parents of children who are ready to know their true self, their highest potential, and their ability to smash through fear and limitations. Parent email lists and contact with large parent communities are a bonus. (Schools too!)

Remember...This camp is for boys and girls! Parents of younger children are encouraged to participate with camp as well!

Again, I am very honored to be invited to your countries to serve once again. Please feel free to contact me anytime at info@firemountainprograms.com.

From my deepest heart,
Aaron Huey

Look! A Flying Goddess! What an exercise for the warrior Goddesses to express trust to boys who will be totally present and keep them safe! The boys were all smiles after this! So were the girls!

What makes a warrior a warrior?

2009-01-02T13:12:00.000-08:00

"The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.” Carlos Castaneda

Does this path you are on currently have limitless potential? If not, it is only a reflection of your thoughts about your own abilities. Your path is a reflection of you. You are the path and you can see yourself from a spectators point of view right now. Look at your choices, your thoughts, your total experience...does it have heart? Does it have a boundless gift attached to it? Does it have opportunity and abundance?

Of course it does. Everything does. Any limitation to the infinity of the experience is just your own SELF-limitation imposed upon YOU...by YOU.

The choice right now is to BREATHE the experience OPEN. Become it. Wear it. Open it from within. All is limitless, boundary-less, openness and oneness of it/you/the world/others...

Hook into infinity like a WARRIOR.

And smile in it's truth.

Aaron

Warrior Teenagers? Now we're in real trouble!

2009-01-02T13:11:00.001-08:00

Here is the flat truth...teens act the way they do to discover who they really are. Once they figure it out, they become contributing members of society, have valuable relationships, and handle responsibility and freedom.

To get a teen from whatever place they are right now to this level of personal empowerment, they must attend a Rite of Passage. It is a declaration that they are no longer children and on the path of purpose. It is the event that allows them to confirm their transition into their authenticity. All of this is done in the presence of adults who can validate their success and ownership of it.

A teen who attends a Rite of Passage knows their purpose, even if it's to go out into the world and discover their life's purpose.

Do you know a teen who is ready for the most unforgettable experience of their life?

Fire Mountain offers the best, most intense, unforgettable teen Rite of Passage experience anywhere. Our next teen event is in mid February.

To watch teens talk about their Rite of Passage Experience with Fire Mountain, click here: http://firemountainprograms.com/fmteens.html

If you are not a parent of a teen, please pass this on to one. Teens need this. Imagine if you had it.

Warriors, Dare to do something impossible this year

2009-01-02T13:06:00.000-08:00

Thomas White, a Karate master and philosopher, wrote back in the 80's, " True warriors dare to live as they believe; to be true to their most noble dreams; to understand and control the raging tides of their emotions; to perceive their indivisibility with nature, and follow the course dictated by their warrior spirit."

As we move away from what ails us and forward to the life that is our birthright, we know that as warriors, we create each and every moment of our future right now.

Is their anything in your creation of tomorrow that hints of fear? Are you bringing forth any of the habits and patterns that have kept you stuck and safe for all of these years? Are you still carrying the luggage that once belonged to your parents?

If today creates the future, what purity can you offer, especially if you are still living in the past?

Focus on your moment right now, sitting here reading this. Expand your awareness beyond your normal sense and allow everything in. Breathe deep and expand your vision. Relax your belly and chest and let the energy of your heart to flow freely.

My Master, Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi once asked his master Takamatsu Sensei, " What do I do when I feel lost in life?"
Takamatsu replied, " Let go of your thoughts and focus on your subconscious."

Breathing takes no-thought. Sitting up straight takes no-mind. Relaxing takes no-body. You release thought and body. Then, with nothing, you can create anything.

To your path,
Aaron

Why Teens Need Rites of Passage

2008-06-04T09:40:00.000-07:00

Please see the amazing video above!

The Father Wound

2008-05-22T19:37:00.000-07:00

I am writing this because boys and men everywhere in the world know exactly what I am writing about. (Maybe not consciously but instinctually.) I know that women don’t always understand what the masculine wound is, so I am writing this for the women who know that men carry a deep wound and don’t know how to talk about.

I am writing this because my uncle called me on Saturday and told me that my father had died from complications due to alcoholism.

I’ve never met my father, or my uncle. My father died last September. Around November my mother had found his email address on classmates.com and forwarded it to me. It took me 3 weeks to actually send the email.

I just wanted to say, “I am here.”

His widow found the email as she was cleaning out his files. She asked my uncle to contact me. When he called he just spilled it all out. I had just gotten off a plane from a week in Santa Barbara teaching about connection and reception. My head was spinning and I asked Bill if I could just get my head around it and call him back with a list of questions. He was apologetic and very kind. I hung up and pushed it all back into the far corners of my body where I’ve stored the pain of not knowing my father…

The next day I couldn’t walk. I ended up at the chiropractor. Almost a week later I’m still in recovery.

I had a great dad. My dad, Ken Huey adopted me when I was 4 and raised me as his own. I’ve never (to my recollection) used the “You’re not my dad!” argument with him and in turn, whether he felt it or not, I was treated as his own flesh and blood. I really had an ideal dad/son childhood. Supportive, nurturing, affectionate, stern…a boy couldn’t ask for more.

Except to know his father.

Here is the bottom line; every boy will be wounded by his father. It does not matter whether the father is present and attentive or absent. It’s consistent, it’s hereditary, and it’s essential.

Essential?

Part of the masculine Rite of Passage is to learn how to turn a wound into a gift, to take the scars from the battle of life and wear them proudly. It’s not an easy lesson to learn but we must learn it.

And we must learn it from other men.

Of course my wife was present and very nurturing during this time, but I did not want to share the experience with her. I wanted to work with it with other men. I needed to work with Men who have or didn’t have fathers and who were and were not fathers.
I wanted to work with it and find my place with the wound and the news. I wanted to begin the healing work and then talk with my wife. She’s always there for me but frankly; this is a guy's issue.
This is a man issue, a father and son issue. I needed to be held accountable and challenged to heal this wound. I asked to be pushed here because it was clear I was avoiding the issue (the back pain) and I did not want my wife to be that person. I want her to be the one who strokes my baldhead while I cry my eyes out.

Part of the trials and tribulations of the masculine is the expectancy to finish anything in life. We are hardwired to complete, solve, and finish things. The masculine main priority in life is freedom. Anytime conflict or problems arise, we seek freedom. Whether we find freedom from the conflict through its resolution or avoiding it is the character trait of a man vs. a superior man.

I am writing this for the men who have been wounded. I am writing this for the mothers who can see the wounding take place. I am writing this because I have avoided the issue long enough and my back really hurts. As long as I remember my back has been weak and easily injured. There is no support there.

Why was I not important enough for my father to contact?
Why did he not acknowledge me?
Why didn’t he love me?

All of my life there has been a space that I have tried to fill. It appeared the moment I was rolled into the nursery and there was no father standing over me proud of his son. No dad or stepfather could fill it. No amount of drugs could fill it. No relationship could fill it. No amount of therapy or empowerment could fill it.

So I stopped trying to fill it. I realized I’m not supposed to fill it. I’m supposed to live with it. I’m supposed to take that space and emptiness and sit in it. Being alone in the void is not the end of the world; it’s the beginning of your life beyond providing you use the space for healing instead of trying to heal the space.

I am the father and stepfather I am because my father was never there. I am the child empowerment specialist I am because I learned to give what I never received from my father. I am the husband I am because my father was not there to show me how to be a husband. I am the evolutionary step of the man who was never there.

I am, and in the end, that’s all I wanted my father to know, that I am. Because of and without, I am.

The punch line is that now that he is dead, he’s right here whenever I want. Now I can speak to him and hear him. Now I can feel him. The only obstacles to loving this man are my obstacles, my walls. The love I withhold is the pain I have been carrying. “I want to live, I want to love…but it’s the long hard road out of hell.” (Thanks to Marilyn Manson)

So for the mothers who see the wound and want to teach their son’s to heal it, you cannot. You have to find a man in your community who works with teen boys and let them learn from him. For the fathers who want to avoid it, you cannot. What you can do is love fully and model passion for life. Your son will forgive the wound one day. You cannot force a healing, you can only model it. For the step-dads who feel like you are standing by watching your stepson being wounded by his father, there is nothing you can do except love them like your own and deal with your own wound.

The wound is our gift.

If there is anyway I can support you in your family’s healing, please contact me at aaronhuey@firemountainprograms.com.

From my heart to yours,
Aaron Huey

I wonder what it is we actually expect from teens?
http://www.firemountainprograms.com/

I have heard that the sheriff wants to charge the cheerleaders as adults for their assault on a former friend who posted trash talk on her web page.

How many fight videos have you seen online? If you are my age, it's still something that is pretty new. I remember typewriters in my high school office...I'm 38. The youth of today have grown up with those violent images. And I'm pretty sure that when I turn on my TV tonight, I will see pictures and hear stories of adults using violence to solve differences. In fact, my country is at war right now...has been for almost 8 years. In Fact, I'm no historian...but has there ever been a culture that hasn't used violence at one time or another to solve a problem or make a point...or for sport?

What do we expect from our teenagers? As adults, it's pretty obvious that we see violence a a solution or at least an option to our problems. Why shouldn't they? Or are they supposed to be more evolved than us? Aren't they modeling us?

I am working with one of the kids who was part of the Fairview High School Fight Club here in Boulder Colorado. Adults were horrified that teens were fighting for entertainment...for sport.

Uuhhhhh. Boxing? Wrestling? UFC? WWF? Aren't fighting sports in the Olympics? Don't we give the winners belts, and medals and trophies and money and appearances on Celebrity Apprentice?

So they do it too and we yell, scream and punish them. We ticket them and fine them, suspend and expel them from our learning institutions...We call their actions reckless and dangerous, we call them punks and admonish their antics.

Teenagers are living in response to the world WE created. They are not the determining factor of the direction our society is going...we are.

These fight clubs are nothing more than a misguided attempt at creating a Rite of Passage. Something, anything that separates them from their childhood and helps them to establish themselves in the "adult" world. Teens also use drugs, alcohol, sex, driving, rebellions (like staying out late without calling), how they dress...

...because adults do these things.

Here is the solution. Very simple.

As adults, as a community, we must provide a Rite of Passage ceremony, event, ritual for our teens. If we don't provide one for them, they will provide on for themselves.

As adults, as a community, we must provide a place for teens to go and hang out to do the things THEY love to do. If we don't provide on, they will create one for themselves.

When do we listen to what these videos are really saying instead of just reacting to them? When do we answer their request for something edgy, extreme and life changing so they can see themselves and more than mere flesh and bones? They want to see themselves as something great, powerful and and able to handle anything.

We react to how they create this for themselves, they are in reaction to the world we've created for them...

It's time to stop reacting and take ACTION. They need us to guide them, to model for them how to become adults in this world.

Right now in time, this adult world is a violent, polluted place filled with hopes and dreams of a clean, peaceful future. It is our dream to make real. It is our work. Not theirs.

Their job is to discover who they are and how they will contribute to this dream.

Love,
Aaron
