A Spiritual Warrior doesn't fight, either inside or outside himself, for he has integrated that life is Love and that even when it seems to set him traps, in reality it only stems from Love .
He knows that the outside world, like a mirror, reflects his inner (often unconscious) world, depending on what he is able to discover and welcome in himself. He has learned that even his worst enemy has been placed on his way by Love, initiated through his own will to grow, to strengthen his heart or re-gain his own power.
Sometimes, at a certain stage, a "wound of the soul" - hidden deep in the unconscious - blocks him, preventing him from going further. It is then that an alleged "enemy" may be placed on his path. It will precisely activate the corresponding energy, thus allowing the wound to rise to the surface, to be felt, welcomed and treated.
The "Force of Life" knows that it is only in this way that he will have a chance to heal and continue on the path of his soul.
He knows that nothing happens by chance, but yet he can still be in the grip of doubt and feel discouragement lurking ...
Because the path of the Light Warrior resembles more often to an obstacle course than to a nice "walk in the park", he has learned to handle the rudder of his consciousness so as not to sink into any abyss of dispair.
If he had any, the "weapons" of the Spiritual Warrior would be: discipline, courage and love. For they are the tools of the Conscious Being on the way back to Unity. We are all One and unified in our Essence, and this represents the ultimate goal and the culmination of each Warrior's quest.
To find "Who He Is" truly, he will have to pass through certain initiations, and, armed with courage, cross the vast jungle of his illusions. Faith is his sword and discipline his shield. He has learned to redirect his mind through breathing, physical exercise, fasting, prayer or other techniques, which allow him to re-establish the free-flow of energy in his body and the clarity of his mind.
Every day he doesn't miss an opportunity to be thankful for all the little things of life, to marvel at a beautiful sunset for example, or in front of the beauty of the iridescent reflections of a simple drop of dew.
He always carries in him the magic balm (Love / Consciousness) able to heal all the wounds of his Soul. Because he knows that at any time he may need it.
Mother Earth nourishes and sustains him in his journey. When he is exhausted, in Her, he can rest and regain his strength. Father sky, for his part, inspires and guides him through his intuition. The Warrior has learned to rest on these mysterious forces in him, and to put all his faith in them.
There comes a day when the Warrior is no longer a Warrior, but a fully Unified and Realized Being, whose Love is able to flood the world.
