The Winter Weapon
The Disidentification Doctrine is the core of the methodology I put forward in A Call to War. It is the central method by which I walked my own spiritual path, and fought and destroyed my own attachments.
Disidentification is a weapon of the spiritual war, that internal war between you and your Construct, the identity you call “I”.
Disidentification is the direct, systematic dismantling of that false identity, and all its supporting structures. Craving. Story. Trauma. Fear. Addiction. Emotional reactivity. All these structures are the vasanas, the attachments that exist in you, and which bind you to illusion, to “I”, to the suffering in an ordinary, Default Life.
Disidentification is your means of freedom. It is a sacred act of spiritual rebellion against illusion, the means by which the practitioner withdraws identification from that illusion, and learns to stand as the Seer, free and in peace.
The Origin of the Doctrine of Disidentification
This doctrine comes directly from my work on myself. From the years spent on the mat, doing battle with my own Construct. It was forged in that personal war, and tempered in the fires of suffering and fear. I discovered it through first principals, guided by the hints left in scripture, seeing my way to method through the suffering itself, through the moments of clarity, the moments of Grace.
I have written this method into the Call to War, a book written to aid you in your own struggle with this identity, “I”.
The doctrine has form. Method. Method you can understand and apply in your own life. It operates through two interlinked systems:
The Three Instruments
These are three real-time tools for use in the moment, when you become aware of suffering in your life. Craving, want, grief, limerence, fear, whatever you’re facing, you should deploy these three instruments in order, breaking the habit of stimulus-response, and introducing clarity through consciousness.
The Six Vectors
Over the longer term, the Six Vectors provide a kind of psychic immune response. These are the core of the Disidentification method given in A Call to War. They are to be applied together, separately, randomly, six lines of attack directed at one particular element of the Construct, one of its vasanic structures.
One by one you destroy them, and with each skirmish you weaken the tyrant, “I”, the ego, the Construct that has ruled your life.
The Full Doctrine – The Winter Path to Spiritual Enlightenment
The complete guide to Disidentification is included in A Call to War, released August 2025.
Warning – It is expected that this method will be widely copied. In the strongest possible terms, watch out for the copies. Without the full spiritual context and understanding of A Call to War, this method could be damaging and dangerous to its practitioners.
A Call to War will be available for free online, as well as in print. This warning is not commercially motivated. We are releasing this book to share the path, and to help others reach peace.
