As followers of the TULWA philosophy, we are committed deeply to embrace light, and to engage rigorously and courageously with the darkness within ourselves and the broader world.
Section 1: Understanding the Foundations
The Essence of the TULWA Philosophy Path
This philosophy is inspired by the transformative journey of Frank-Thomas Tindejuv, the initiator and architect of TULWA, which began in 2001. His deep engagement with both light and darkness has crucially shaped our approach, guiding us through the complexities of existence with unmatched courage and discernment.
Our path is shaped by a relentless pursuit to uncover and illuminate the light obscured by both internal and external shadows.
The foundation of our journey was profoundly influenced by the encounter with “Manual of the Warrior of Light” by Paulo Coelho, which crystallized the personal and transformative vision of what it means to be a light warrior, making Coelho’s core message personal.
We utilize a triad of powerful filters—Light | Love | Unity, Universal Interconnectedness, and the TULWA Creed—as tools to critically examine all that we encounter.
These principles, derived from years of introspection and evolution, are designed to protect us and serve as instruments of deep transformation.
At the core of it all sits Light | Love | Unity, the ultimate tool and weapon of choice for those who align themselves with the TULWA Philosophy.
Engaging with Darkness
We recognize that darkness is not merely an absence of light but a substantive force that can instruct and refine us.
When we encounter darkness—whether within our psyche or in external entities and systems—we approach it with the intent to understand and to transform. Inspired by a need to define a light warrior path that is personal and not dictated by external dogmas, we strive to transform darkness into light through self-discovery and personal accountability.
If the darkness is ours, we work tirelessly to transmute it into light. If it emanates from external sources, we assess its nature through our rigorous filters. Anything that fails to pass through—be it doctrines, systemic truths, or leadership claims—is met with firm rejection.
Confrontation and Defense
Our engagement with darkness is proactive. We stand ready to defend our light against any shadows that might seek to dim it.
This may involve challenging entrenched systems or confronting deceptive leaders and ideologies by applying our filter-tool. If they do not yield or pass through the filters—they must be discarded.
Our philosophy equips us to navigate these battles with strategic precision, ensuring we can move through conflicts without sustaining lasting harm.
Through Confusion and Pain as Catalysts for Growth
I acknowledge that this path is fraught with challenges that may bring confusion and pain.
However, I view such experiences not as deterrents but as catalysts for deeper understanding and growth. Confusion and pain, when understood and processed through our filters, become powerful agents of transformation, not defining forces.
In my own life, confusion and pain became motivators, inspiring me to dig even deeper, to ask even more intricate questions in order to unravel and understand the reason for my pain and confusion and, if possible, discover the mechanisms that brought confusion and pain to my being.
By embracing confusion and pain as integral parts of the journey, I allow them to shape me into a stronger, more enlightened being. These challenges push me to seek deeper truths and catalyze my transformation, ultimately leading me to greater clarity and self-awareness.
Section 2: Deepening The Lenses of Personal Transformation
The Spiral Path in Personal Transformation
In the journey of personal transformation within the TULWA Philosophy, the concept of “Spiral Lenses” plays a crucial role. This spiral approach signifies that transformation is not a straightforward, linear process but rather a cyclical one. Each of the four lenses—Philosopher, Healer, Light Warrior, and Unified Light Warrior—serves as a stage in this spiral journey.
Understanding any concept deeply requires viewing it from at least three different angles. Whether it’s understanding yourself, a dark spot in your psyche, a celestial being, transformative questions, or the Multiverse, this multi-faceted approach ensures a true comprehension of the concept. This creates a spiral effect, where, regardless of your awareness or willingness, things will come back into focus, needing to be revisited and understood at deeper levels as you develop.
As individuals progress through these stages, they revisit previous insights and experiences, gaining deeper understanding and refining their perspectives each time. This recursive nature of the spiral path ensures continuous growth, where each cycle brings new layers of wisdom and clarity.
By revisiting and integrating past learnings with new experiences, individuals can achieve profound and lasting personal and spiritual transformation. This dynamic process fosters an ever-evolving journey toward enlightenment, encouraging ongoing self-reflection and application of the TULWA principles in increasingly meaningful ways.

A Personal Reflection from the Creator
It is important for me to clarify that I do not consider myself at the pinnacle of the Unified Light Warrior philosophy.
I am not the epitome of this system that I have created; rather, I am still journeying on my path. I have not reached a final destination, despite having authored this philosophy and its accompanying tools.
I am fully engaged in the process of my own life, digging into the depths of my mind to discover new insights to grasp, transform, and to kindle light within. I am in constant pursuit of a deeper understanding of myself and all that I am connected to. I believe this pursuit is the essence of progressing towards or embodying the Unified Light Warrior ethos of this philosophy.
I am uncertain if one can ever fully become a Unified Light Warrior, but I am convinced that without goals to strive for, without motivations to propel us, our journey would inevitably stagnate.
Daily, I strive to better myself, which has, in a sense, become integral to my existence. From this viewpoint, I am living the essence of a Unified Light Warrior, not merely performing actions but embodying them.
Therefore, I urge you, dear reader of this philosophy, to recognize that I do not claim the title of a Unified Light Warrior from a throne or a pyramid’s apex. Although I have not attained such a stature, I must acknowledge that after 23 years on this path, I am nearer to fully embracing the concept of a Unified Light Warrior than ever before.
Section 3: Integrating the Understanding of Fundamental Life Force into the TULWA Healer’s Lens
This section explores the integration of the concept of “Fundamental Life Force” into the TULWA (The Unified Light Warrior Archetype) Philosophy framework, specifically as a foundational principle for the TULWA Healer’s lens.
This part articulates a coherent approach to grounding the understanding and practice of healing within the TULWA paradigm.
Background: The TULWA Philosophy, as outlined in “TULWA Philosophy – A Unified Path,” presents a transformative journey of personal enlightenment and growth.
At its core, TULWA emphasizes the pursuit of truth, the cultivation of compassion, and the embrace of universal interconnectedness. It offers unique tools and filters, including the triad of Light, Love, and Unity, to critically examine experiences and beliefs, fostering profound self-discovery and inner transformation.
The Concept of Fundamental Life Force
The concept of “Fundamental Life Force” serves as a powerful and grounding principle for understanding the essence of healing and energy manipulation. Fundamental Life Force is seen as a deeper understanding of universal life energy.
This term encapsulates the idea of a primordial, animating energy that permeates all existence, serving as the foundational force from which all life emerges and is sustained.
Key aspects of the Fundamental Life Force concept:
Primordial Nature: The term “fundamental” highlights the ancient, timeless quality of this life force, positioning it as the original, primal source from which all other interpretations and conceptualizations of vital energy arise.
Core Essence: Describing it as “fundamental” underscores that this is the root, quintessential life force – the core energy that animates and sustains all living beings at the most basic level.
Grounded Quality: The term “fundamental life force” carries a sense of being deeply rooted, grounded, and intrinsic to the nature of existence itself, anchoring the concept in something tangible and elemental.
Universal Presence: While the “fundamental life force” emphasizes its primordial and foundational nature, it also implies a universal, all-pervasive presence that permeates and connects all realms of existence, transcending the boundaries of living organisms alone.
Integrating Fundamental Life Force into the TULWA Healer’s Lens
The integration of the Fundamental Life Force concept into the TULWA Philosophy framework presents a compelling opportunity to ground the understanding and practice of healing within a profound, yet accessible, paradigm.
By recognizing the Fundamental Life Force as the primordial source from which all other interpretations of vital energy emerge, TULWA Healers can explore the essence of healing without being constrained by the dogmas or preconceptions of existing healing modalities.
Healing Oneself First: Central to the path of a TULWA Healer is the principle of self-healing. Before one can effectively heal others, it is crucial to engage deeply with one’s own healing process.
By connecting with the Fundamental Life Force within, TULWA Healers can transform their inner darkness into light, achieving a state of personal balance and wellness that serves as a foundation for helping others.
Alignment with TULWA Principles: The Fundamental Life Force concept aligns seamlessly with the core principles of TULWA, such as the pursuit of truth, the embrace of universal interconnectedness, and the transformation of darkness into light.
By acknowledging the Fundamental Life Force as the foundational energy underlying all existence, TULWA Healers can delve into the depths of this concept while remaining true to the TULWA ethos.
Transcending Dogma: By grounding healing in the Fundamental Life Force, TULWA Healers can transcend the limitations of specific healing traditions or belief systems.
This approach allows for a more open-ended, introspective exploration of the principles and patterns governing this primordial energy, fostering personal discovery and the development of internal guidance.
Structured Introduction: While the Fundamental Life Force represents a profound and expansive concept, TULWA Healers can still benefit from structured introductory training in established healing modalities like Reiki and other well established and renowned healing modalities. These are excellent tools to develop a basic understanding of healing and energetic balancing. Reiki Level 1 is recommended to anyone contemplating on aligning themselves with the TULWA Philosophy.
These systems can provide a foundational understanding and experience of working with life force energy in a more structured way, serving as a steppingstone towards deeper engagement with the Fundamental Life Force itself.
Cracking the Healing Code: For those aligning with the TULWA Philosophy and seeking to truly “crack the healing code” and attain profound levels of understanding and mastery, deeply engaging with and comprehending the Fundamental Life Force can unlock transformative insights.
By tapping into the primordial wellspring of this energy, TULWA Healers can transcend the constraints of specific interpretations and delve into the core essence of healing and personal transformation.
Integration Across All Lenses
Understanding the Fundamental Life Force is not limited to the Healer’s Lens; it is a crucial element across all TULWA lenses.
Whether through intellectual exploration, practical application, or spiritual alignment, the Fundamental Life Force serves as the bedrock for each path within the TULWA Philosophy.
Philosophers seek to understand its principles, integrating this understanding into their pursuit of truth and knowledge. Light Warriors apply its energy in their actions, embodying resilience and integrity. Unified Light Warriors synthesize these insights, achieving deep spiritual harmony and enlightenment.
By recognizing the Fundamental Life Force as a universal, grounding force, all TULWA practitioners can deepen their connection to this primal energy, fostering a holistic and profound personal transformation.
Conclusion
Integrating the Fundamental Life Force into the TULWA Philosophy framework enriches the understanding and practice of healing within TULWA. It aligns with TULWA’s core principles, transcends traditional dogmas, and provides a grounded, universal approach to healing.
This foundational concept sets the stage for deeper exploration and mastery by TULWA Healers, fostering a transformative journey rooted in ancient wisdom and universal interconnectedness.
The Fundamental Life Force is the essence of healing. It precedes and encompasses all forms of healing, existing beyond and beneath every man-made system. My engagement in healing began long before I understood the terms ‘electromagnetic,’ ‘frequency,’ or ‘energy,’ years before I took my first healing course and started on my path to become a Master Healer/Teacher.
Healing does not derive its power from systems but from the fundamental energy we can channel when our intentions are pure, and our desires are rooted in utmost purity. It is the purity of mind and intention that determines the effectiveness of healing, not the system through which it is administered.
Historically, healers did not rely on formal education but learned through mentorship and practice, focusing on clear intentions and energy manipulation. They understood that healing involves aligning with the Fundamental Life Force at its core.
The TULWA Philosophy, with its emphasis on personal enlightenment and growth, provides fertile ground for the integration of the Fundamental Life Force concept, offering a unique and empowering framework for those seeking to embark on the path of TULWA Healers.
Section 4: Understanding “Unified” in TULWA
Unified Light Warrior Archetype:
Definition and Significance: The term “Unified” emphasizes the goal of achieving a state of complete integration and unity within oneself and with the universe. It represents the ultimate embodiment of the TULWA Philosophy, where an individual has harmonized their inner light and transformed their inner darkness.
Path to Unity: Becoming a Unified Light Warrior involves a journey through the stages of Philosopher, Healer, and Light Warrior. Each stage offers unique insights and practices that contribute to this holistic unity.
Inclusivity and Personal Journeys: While not everyone will pursue the path to becoming a Unified Light Warrior, the philosophy provides entry points for individuals at various stages of their personal transformation. This inclusivity ensures that the TULWA Philosophy is accessible to all who seek growth and enlightenment.
In order to become “Unified”, we must unite ourselves within. Uniting the pros and cons of our existence, uniting the divided mind, uniting the various aspects of ourselves. By doing this we set ourselves on a path to becoming a unified being – a Unified Light Warrior.
You define this path alone, set the milestones alone, and measure the length of your path alone. You alone have the power and responsibility to be your own mentor, inspiration, and guide. In this way, you will shine your own light and not cast shadows from someone else’s light.
Section 5: Who Benefits from the TULWA Philosophy
The TULWA Philosophy is particularly tailored for those who find themselves at the crossroads of introspection and societal disillusionment.
It is designed for individuals who are ready to challenge inherited truths and who feel a deep call to transcend the conflicts and divisions that have characterized human history.
For the Seekers and the Courageous: This path is a signpost for those who have faced significant hardships and are no longer satisfied with conventional answers. It is for the seekers of deeper truths, those who question the status quo, and the courageous who are ready to dismantle and rebuild their understanding of spirit and self.
For the Independent Thinkers: TULWA appeals to those who value personal responsibility and autonomy in their spiritual journey. If you prefer self-guided exploration over doctrinal teachings, this philosophy offers the tools and freedom to forge your own path to enlightenment.
For the Agents of Change: This system is especially potent for those who aim to be catalysts for change—individuals who recognize that true transformation begins within and radiates outward, influencing societies and cultures.
Who Might Find It Challenging?
For Those Seeking Immediate Comfort: Individuals looking for immediate solace or uncomplicated answers may find the rigorous self-examination and commitment to personal transformation in TULWA challenging. This philosophy demands patience, persistence, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths.
For Those Comforted by Structured Belief Systems: If you find significant comfort in highly structured belief systems with clear directives from external authorities, the open-ended, introspective nature of TULWA might be a challenging fit. This philosophy emphasizes personal discovery and the development of internal guidance, which can be daunting without an external framework.

Answers are pacifiers in this perspective, so make sure you gear yourself up for a long haul of questioning yourself and everything you are connected to. You should not look to the TULWA Philosophy to find answers, but to find motivation and inspiration to keep asking questions.
When there are no more questions to be asked on a topic, then you have already found the answer you needed. If you do not see the answer, then there are more questions to find and ask.
