The Warrior
What Is a Warrior?
A frame of mind, persona, or way of being that we can all adopt to effect change in our lives.
It is better to be a warrior in a garden,
than a gardener in a war.
– Bruce Lee
Who is my warrior?
Someone who is:
- Determined
- Tenacious
- Selfless
- Ferocious
- Focussed
- Elemental
How does this Manifest?
With a vision of the goal in mind, I have soul focus on the manifestation of this goal and a willingness to do whatever is required, reassured by the knowledge that I can do anything I want.
Often things are not as hard as we actually think…
The hardest part is getting ourselves to start, then committing with full force.
Doing, Not Trying
The only real regret that any of us can ever have is not trying hard enough, or not trying at all.
If we learn to apply ourselves with 100% unfaltering commitment this opens the door for the true authentic self to manifest. Only with 100% commitment to success do we leave ourselves truly open to the possibility of failure and real learning.
This act of openness and honesty, this willingness to allow 100% of our vitality to flow can only ever be done authentically. It leaves nothing for the ego; everything manifests as pure experience in the present moment.
When we learn to try with 100% effort, we are no longer trying.
We are doing.
Where does my Warrior come from?
The universe has created a conductor of vitality that is able to channel a large amount of energy and focus it on a single point – This is me; this is you; this is us.
My mind and ego have been conditioned through early experiences around death that have allowed me to see the true value in living by accepting that we will all not live one day.
The beauty of life can only be seen through authentic eyes, and our authenticity only manifests through present action where we push forward with 100% commitment.
I know this from reflective self-honesty – I can tell the difference between action with and without commitment.
Reflections on the Warrior
I can help my warrior to grow by being even more ruthless with “my” Ego so as to not grabbing hold of destructive egoic manifestations but instead to allow my energy to flow.
The true warrior is pure and authentic, Ego free and will only manifest from purposeful intention.
The universe flows through me with great power – The hand that creates can also destroy.
If the warrior is motivated by the ego, it can bring death and destruction.
The warrior is a gift and should be unleashed with care and attention.
The warrior must be unleashed with care and sensitivity, but when it is embodied, it must be done so fully without restraint or any hesitation.
Such is the blessing of the warrior. Authentic living and action, delivered from the heart of the universe, right back to itself.
The Warrior
One string to the bow of life.
One life in the flow of life.
One Tao, One Soul.
Is there more than this?
We do not know.
All we can ever hope for,
is to reap the seed we sow.
Enjoy, for now.
