*****Spiritual Warrior*****

Life offers us the opportunity to
become a Spiritual Warrior.
A warrior is one who bravely goes
into those dark areas within
themselves to ferret out the Truth of
their being.
It takes great courage, stamina and
endurance to
become a Spiritual Warrior.
The path is narrow, the terrain rough
and rocky.
You will walk alone: through the dark
caves,
up those steep climbs and through
the dense thick forest.
You will meet your dark side. The
faces of fear, deceit, and
sadness all await your arrival.
No one can take this journey but you.
There comes a time, in each of our
lives,
when we are given the choice to
follow this path.
Should we decide to embark on this
journey,
we can never turn back…. Our lives
are changed forever
On this journey, there are many
different places we can
choose to slip into and hide. But the
path goes on.
The Spiritual Warrior stays the
course, wounded at times,
exhausted and out of energy. Many
times, the Warrior will
struggle back to their feet to take
only a few steps before
falling again.
Rested, they forge on,
continuing the treacherous path.
The journey continues. The Spiritual
Warrior
stays the course. Weakened, but
never broken.
One day, the battle, loneliness and
desperate fights are over.
The sun breaks through the clouds;
the birds begin to sing
their sweet melodies. There is a
change in the energy.
A deep change within the self.
The warrior has fought the
courageous fight.
The battle of the dark night of the
soul is won.
New energy now fills the Warrior.
A new path is now laid before them.
A gentler path filled with the inner-
knowing
of one who has personal
empowerment.
With their personal battle won, they
are filled with joy.
A new awareness that they are one
with the Spirit beams
as they go forth to show others the
way.
They are not permitted to walk the
path for others.
They can only love, guide and be a
living example
of the Truth of their being. …read more
