Despite some misperceptions, the Akashayana did not originate in China. A Harmonious Brother (an honorific used regardless of the mage’s gender) strives to help all beings realize samadhi (enlightenment, Ascension) and liberate each Bodhicitta (Avatar) from the cycle of rebirth. Through relentless training, the student (or Akashi) develops the concentration he needs in order to discern the essential dissatisfaction of Samsara, the perpetual cycle or flow of existence. Encompassing a range of spiritual practices from tea ceremonies to Tantric union, Do focuses a person’s essence, form, and intentions. Do, however, is more than mere war techniques. In the process, the Akashayana refined Do (“the Way,” pronounced doe), the primal martial art from which all others descend. Just as the strings of an instrument must be struck before they can vibrate harmoniously, so too has the Brotherhood endured millennia of war.

Deeply misunderstood among the Council as “peaceful warriors,” devotees of the Akashayana Sangha (“Order of the Vehicle of Akasha”) strengthen their bodies to cultivate their minds – and, by extension, the Sphere of Mind – in their pursuit of harmony. And so, the Akashayana, commonly known as the Akashic Brotherhood, seek harmony in a world filled with chaos.

It is, perhaps, the lot of man to strive against that flow certainly, the modern world is filled with distractions from such purposes. To attune one’s self to that flow is so simple that it can take lifetimes to master.
