Welcome back to KOOL-VFM. Ladies and Gentlemen: I am Don Roberto Cervantes, Professor Emeritus of Chivalric Studies. Time now to begin our ecclesiastical journey direct from The University of Cool, School of Musicology. In essence, this is your Introduction to Cool Metaphysics 101 through the power of music. Music is a spiritual portal between our souls and the Divine, to paraphrase Pythagoras. So without further ado, we’ll begin with a quote from Grand Master ‘Joe’ himself, “In the end, I don’t think you can find Soul. Soul finds you.” - Sir John Robert ‘Joe’ Cocker, OBE That is all.

“Unless, said I, either philosophers become kings in our states or those whom we now call our kings and rulers take to the pursuit of philosophy seriously and adequately, and there is a conjunction of these two things, political power and philosophic intelligence, while the motley horde of the natures who at present pursue either apart from the other are compulsory excluded, there can be no cessation of troubles, dear Glaucon, for our states, nor, I fancy, for the human race either. (473d-e)” ― Plato, The Republic That is all.

It is the light that will guide you along the warriors path." - General Chang Knights, guard well your honour, for it defines who we are as men and warriors.

“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness!... — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

* FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES * - Beware, my good Knights, of obsessing over your 'reputation'. ;) "IAGO: As I am an honest man, I thought you had received some bodily wound.

You have lost no reputation at all unless you repute yourself such a loser (of good reputation)..." Othello, Act 2, Scene 3, by William Shakespeare - Focus instead on your 'Character' Carry on.

"...Glory is like a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself Till by broad spreading it disperse to nought..." - Joan La Pucelle (St. Jeanne D'arc) Henry VI, Act 1, Scene 2, by William Shakespeare
