Reflections of a Pilgrim

Posted on by

Looking back on the way it once was, the Warrior wonders how long he had been asleep. The only reality he knew was wandering aimlessly through the wilderness with no direction in sight. Stepping without knowing where his feet were, hurting those around him and taking whatever he can get without hesitation. Recalling how he thought he was ‘on fire’ and at the top of his game, the warrior recalls all of the psychosomatic pain responses created by his false life. His life, in many terms was normal. According to 99% of the population he was truly normal. What is normal? Normal is whatever reality an individual lives. While one person may live recluse and another more extroverted, they only know what their reality says they know.

Once accepting his path of Warrior, the false self-made reality began disappearing. The pain caused by mental responses to never having enough, holding on to the past and creating even more physical pain manifested via psychosomatic response, gradually would fall off-course. Whence accepting the path of Warrior, all pain was removed and the eternal strength began to take form. His mighty sword called upon less and offerings of his hand became norm.  His peaceful ‘True-Nature’ began to shine, allowing Love and kindness to prevail over all things. His regrets fell to the wayside, trespassers – forgiven, his shortcomings – his greatest ally!

Seeing clearer than ever before, the Warrior wonders what he might do next. Witnessing his gifts before him, he manifests instantaneously with a mere thought of what is to come. As Abraham learned, “As a man thinketh, so is he,” so to the Warrior learned first hand. His thoughts became things with a mere blink of an eye. With this knowledge he might easily take over the world, but instead he chooses to return it back to harmony…

Stepping into the Canvas the Warrior accepts the steps behind and forth; forgives those whom he hurt and whom have hurt him; gives thanks for the many lessons before and after this day of awakening.

 

From Pilgrim to Warrior

Posted on by

In every human there are two sides. The Native Americans refer to this as two wolves. Once a little boy approached an elder  and asked about the two wolves. The elder explained, “inside everyone of us there are two wolves. One White and one black.” The little boy asks, “Which one wins?” The elder, “which ever one you feed.” Many consider the black and white wolf good versus evil, but in reality there is no good and there is no evil. Our reality is dictated by our own thoughts which have either learned, or engrained into our DNA. Often writing in duality, I do not necessarily believe in duality. In each and everyone of us there are two sides: The Pilgrim, which resembles the EGO; the Warrior resembling Spirit.Which ever path chosen, there’s…consequences…

The dictionary defines Pilgrim as the wanderer and seeker, while the Warrior is defined as one who educated in warfare. I like to see the Pilgrim  as the seeker of truth, but has not yet found it while the Warrior has found truth and is willing to pay the ultimate price to keep it. In this case Truth = Love and the Warrior spends his remaining days spreading Love and not war. They are often called Warriors of Peace.

When dealing with everyday events the Pilgrim wants to change but refuses necessary steps towards change, while the Warrior immediately evolves towards change for the perceived greater good. One simply wanders and one takes action. Have you ever noticed how many health clubs we have? People pay other people to help them stay fit, as opposed to changing their lifestyles, accommodating a healthier lifestyle and eliminating  necessity for gym memberships. The pilgrim remains in darkness while eating processed foods, while the Warrior mingles in the Light eating only raw/ natural foods. This concept of better living is usually sold on infomercials and we have to have it, but  fail to take the necessary steps to healthier living. When we take the path towards Warrior, we eliminate all that does not serve our bodies for the highest good.

Both sides have purpose: for without the Pilgrim we would not learn to wander and without the Warrior, we would not stand firmly in our beliefs. We must not shun one or the other, but we must embrace both sides of our existence for both have a purpose. Being on the path of Warrior does not mean you have lost your Pilgrim ways. It means you have chosen to no longer live in darkness. There is an actual third level to our existence and it is the Oneness. This is where creation collaborates with source. Whatever the path lay before you, are you a Pilgrim or are you a Warrior? or do you find yourself co-creating destiny with your maker?Will you remain in darkness unwilling to change your ways? or will you make necessary shifts towards being a warrior? Choose wisely…
