CONCEALING THE TOOLS
DARK ARTS
Knowing the characteristics of your tool will
help you identify them also in other objects
that also will make job done.
You have in the next photo, in the left
professional tools( handcuff key, a tension
wrench, and a pick tool. In the right we have a
safety needle and a hair clip. When you travel
or you are in a non permissive environment
you need tools that will not create problems
when somebody find them on you. But to use
this tools you need training until you master
this skill.
I want in this article to underline the importance of
knowing the right places on your body to conceal the
escape tools.
You find this days a lot of products, escape and evasion
tool. Kits concealed in skull or flag patches, belts or
baseball caps. Even if some of this tools are very useful,
what people don't understand is the way in which the
abductors are operating. Accesories like caps, belts,
watches, shoes will be taken from you in the majority of
the cases. The criminals are making their own OSINT
(Open Source Inteligence), they ghater informations and
are knowing about all this products.
You
see
different
videos
and
tutorials
in
which
somebody is showing how to escape from the zip ties
with the hands in front by making an explosiv
movement hiting towards your body in a particular
angle to broke the zip ties. First this method can work
only with thin zip ties, and this if you have the luck to be
tied with the hands in front. This can happen if the
kidnappers are not professional.
If the abductors are knowing what they are doing, you
will be restrained without to many chances of escaping.
In the image below you can see one type of modified zip
ties. Other zip ties are tied on the main ones and they
are cutted in a sharp angle. In the moment that are tied
this angles will press in your skin and muscle, every
movement will produce a lot of pain.

In the image on the left you can see another good place to conceal your
escape tools.
hiding the tool in the ankle area attached to the inside of the pants will
allow you to access it when you are tied with your hands in front but also
behind. For this position I recommend as an escaping tool a safety pin.
The safety pin can be used to open handcuffs but also zip ties.
For the handcuffs the safety pin can be modified in such a way that the
tip of the needle has the shape of a hook.

MEDITATION on DEATH
DARK ARTS
“Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death.”
―Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings
A warrior must be emotionally detached from the fear of death and doubt generated by his own feelings,
from the intimidation emanating from his enemies, outer and inner ones.
I will share with you a simple meditation technique about Death.
Sit in a comfortable position and be sure you are not disturbed by sounds, telephone, persons or other
disturbing factors. Begin to focus your attention on your breathing.
Breath slow and deep, relax your body. If thoughts are coming in your mind, don't be attached by them, let
them go and come back to the breathing.
Visualize in front of you, your own dead body naked. Look at it, see it like an empty vessel. It is only a corpse.
Visualize how it begins to enter in putrefaction, how worms begin to eat it, crows are coming from the sky
and begin to rip the flesh. It's just a corpse, a vessel. If you feel some interior pain or emotion that makes you
not feel good, remember is only your Ego that is trying to fight this. We invest so much time in our body
that becomes so precious for us and we forget about our mind, our spirit.
Time pass and the corpse begins to dry until remains only bones. Say to yourself:
-One day this body that is only a vehicle will have the same faith.
Finish your meditation by visualizing in your center heart a bright blue light.
You dissolve your body until only the blue beam of bright light remains and then you disolve it also in the
empty space.
We find in Japan an unique tradition called Kusôzu, that consists in the contemplation of watercolor
paintings that depicts the slow decay of a body, usually female, from the first moment of death to the final
stage of bare bones, with all the discoloured and bloated steps in between. Kusôzu was introduced to Japan
in the 8th Century and was popular until the 19th century during the Edo period and appeared in various
formats, including scrolls and printed books.
"What better way to get out of the mood for love than by staring at a bloating discoloured corpse as it
slowly rots in the open air? "
Kusôzu, and its corresponding poetry kusôkanshi, was inspired by Buddhist beliefs that urged followers to
meditate on the temporary nature of life and the physical world by focusing on the decomposition of the
body after death.
