The Warrior’s Crossroads: Why I Chose the Arena Over the Shadows
There is a war being waged right now. It isn’t happening on a distant battlefield, and you won’t find it on the nightly news—though the news is certainly one of its primary weapons. This war is happening inside the minds of every leader, every visionary, and every person who has ever felt the call to do something meaningful with their life.
It is the war between the Ego and the Mission.
In this week’s Sunday Briefing, I decided to pull back the curtain on a conflict I’ve been navigating for decades. It’s a raw, unedited look at a decision that almost led him to disappear completely. If you’ve ever felt the weight of the world’s chaos and wondered if it’s time to just “go dark” or not, this is for you.
Executive Summary
Benedick Howard, Longevity Architect and founder of the Ageless Warrior Alliance, came close to disappearing entirely. After decades of achieving clinically “impossible” results through electro-bio-physics, sound therapy, and sacred geometry, ego-based fear nearly drove him off-grid for good.
Moments of clarity while musing during long solo high attitude hiking the Hawaiian Maunas changed that. Ultimately, despite all the stories and bs beliefs, legacy, he concluded, is not preserved in private — it is forged daily in public, through action.
This post is both a personal reckoning and a public invitation. The Ageless Warrior Alliance exists for leaders ready to deprogram from the sick-care system, reclaim biological sovereignty, and build lasting vitality through strategic fasting, frequency-based therapy, and ancestral wisdom.
The crossroads is the same for all of us. The arena is the only answer.
The Allure of the Shadows: Why I “Went Dark”
For a long time, the idea of retreating was more than just a passing thought; it was and still is a strategic plan. I have spent decades researching the intersection of physics, sound therapy, and sacred geometry. I’ve seen results in my own body and the bodies of my private clients that the conventional “sick-care” system would call impossible.
Now in my Kupuna years I have life’s wisdom and the knowledge to share. I have the tools to share. And I have the location—a beautiful, off-grid sanctuary where I could spend my latter years in peace, far away from the “geopolitical noise” that grows louder and more nonsensical by the day.
And AI that is going to change the world as we knew it, forever.
The temptation to “go dark” is rooted in a very real, ego-based fear. When you challenge the system publicly—when you call out the fallacious theories of the medical establishment or point to the “bankers’ wars” and the “culling elite agendas”—you paint a target on your back. You risk ridicule. You risk legal harassment. You risk, in the most extreme cases, your very life. Check the video, I say a lot more about the early days in 1987 when I took over the work of Dr Randal Baer’s Academy of Interdimensional Lawa and Science and two of the three mysterious deaths that followed.
The ego’s job is self-preservation. It whispered to me, “Benedick, you’ve done enough. Keep the results to yourself, for now. Protect your peace. Let the world sort itself out.”
For a long while, I listened. I stayed quiet. I focused on my private sanctuary. I learned to play the ukulele, hosted open mics, played the local farmer’s market every week. But the more I retreated, the more I realized that silence has a cost, especially when you know you have new knowledge and tools.
The “Aha” Moment: Legacy is Not Built in Silence
There was a moment during this period of reflection during the long high altitude hikes up Maunas that I didn’t have time to fully articulate in the 30-minute video.
It was a moment of profound clarity fueled by a deep, overwhelming sense of gratitude.
I want to express gratitude to my ancestors (whom I have recently learnt about for the first time while researching for the ancestor’s influence chapter in the book), my parents, and ex-partners and the four wonderful children we brought into this world, and at such a price for freedom vs the family court’ destruction of the family units. Even though we are separated by thousands of miles, they now have their own lives.
As a rebel I had to ask myself: What kind of example am I representing if I retreat when the world needs truth the most?
My new book is the rebels guide to thriving through perilous times and another lens into the fascinating world of fasting for health and longevity—if I know how to “re-tune” the human body to its original, vibrant vitality—and I keep it hidden because I’m afraid of a few trolls or a corrupt system, then I have failed my mission. And I have failed you.
Legacy is not something you leave behind; it’s something you build every single day through your actions. It is forged in the arena, not in the shadows.
Deprogramming from the “Sick-Care” System
One of the core themes of the Ageless Warrior Alliance is the need to deprogram. We have been indoctrinated from birth into a “sick-care” system that profits from our slow decline. We are taught that aging is an inevitable slide into frailty, that we are victims of our genetics, and that the only solution is a lifetime of pharmaceutical slavery.
This is the opposite of the truth, and I aspire to be a witness for you.
Your body is an electrochemical symphony. It is a masterpiece of biological engineering designed for vitality, not decay. But to tap into that primal energy, you have to silence the noise. You have to stop listening to the conflicting health recommendations that change every week and start listening to the fundamental laws of physics and biology, and my specialty, electro-bio-physics.
The “geopolitical noise”—the constant drumbeat of war, crisis, and corruption—is designed to keep you in a state of chronic, low-grade fear. Why? Because a fearful person is easy to control. A fearful person doesn’t challenge the system. A fearful person stays in the “sick-care” loop.
This is why I created the Ageless Warrior Alliance. To become and Ageless Warrior starts with reclaiming your biological sovereignty. It starts with the realization that you are the architect of your own longevity.
The Ageless Warrior Alliance: A Call to the Arena
So, I am back in the saddle.
I’ve stopped listening to the ego’s demand for safety and started listening to the mission’s demand for action. For Ageless Warrior Alliance founders and members I livestream Sunday Briefings on cutting edge health tactics and products to engage with you with Q&As, to build a list of like-minded warriors, and to pre-launch a movement with skills and tools that will challenge everything you thought you knew about health and aging.
We are building a community of leaders who refuse to be culled. We are using natural millennia tested rejuvenation like fasting and exercise. Or, tools like the DreamWeaver and the Vertebra to facilitate cellular rejuvenation and “re-tune” our bodies to a state of unparalleled vitality.
But more importantly, we are building a community of people who are willing to stand in the arena together.
Which path are you choosing?
| The Path of the Ego (Going Dark) | The Path of the Warrior (Going Public) |
| Motivated by fear and self-preservation | Motivated by mission and legacy |
| Keeps results and knowledge hidden | Shares truth to empower others |
| Retreats from the “geopolitical noise” | Transcends the noise to lead others |
| Focuses on personal comfort | Focuses on collective sovereignty |
| Results in a quiet, private decline | Results in a vibrant, impactful legacy |
Your Invitation to the Arena
The crossroads I faced is the same crossroads we all face, every day. Will you let the fear of ridicule or the exhaustion of the world’s chaos keep you small? Or will you step into your power and claim your biological birthright?
I am inviting you to join me. Not as a follower, but as an ally.
The Ageless Warrior Alliance is for those who are ready to stop making excuses and start taking responsibility for their own vitality. It’s for those who understand that the greatest threat to our longevity isn’t a virus or a gene—it’s the belief that we are powerless.

The world is loud, the system is broken, and the risks are real. But the reward—a life of vibrant health, unshakable purpose, and a legacy that lasts for generations—is worth every bit of the fight.
I’ll see you in the arena.

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again… who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” — Theodore Roosevelt
