The Guardians of Light

Posted on by

Do you struggle with purpose? Are you searching for answers to the hidden questions deep within soul? What is our purpose and how do we find the answers? It is said we only need look within to find the answers without. What this means is we are to go on an inner journey of the self to find answers facing us in our own reality.

We return now to the Spiritual Warrior once again, as she finds her purpose…

 

Note: I am returning to the original format of our Warrior in the divine feminine. The Pilgrim represents the ego and the Warrior represents the Spirit within all. Being human, I disclose my fault in listening to another chastise my usage of duality. While I do refer to dualistic behavior, the Pilgrim and Warrior are one in the same just different ways of seeing things. While one sees things in an Ego base world, the other sees it with eyes of Spirit.

 

The Pilgrim, turned Warrior, still looks for answers to her daytime dilemmas but has no luck finding them. With dreams of darkness, she knows that she must sit and contemplate her every move in hopes of uncovering yet another shadow of the past. She notes the importance of her dreams, as her dream world identifies opportunities of growth in her daily world.

Recently Her dreams are that of a Panther wandering the land, only to transform into the Eagle. Arising, she did not know what this meant until she entered her ‘quiet room’ and meditated on the lesson. Pondering her lesson, she discovered that She was once a  part of a secret society called the “Sisters of the Light.” These Sisters were keepers or protectors of the Divine Light and worked directly for the Creator.

While the Sisters of the Light kept balance in the Universe, they were at constant battle with darkened forces. Carrying the Divine Torch wherever they went, they illuminated the darkened region once more. What our Warrior could not understand is what this had to do with her dream of being a Panther. She must consult another Warrior for answers.

While remaining in a meditated state, she consults a Warrior from another dimension. Asking her Warrior Guide for clarity of this dream, her guide speaks, “the Panther is often symbolic of protector and is often paralleled with Guardian of Light. Therefore tying her dreams of being a Panther with that of the Sisters of Light.

“But what about the Eagle?” She asks.

“The Eagle is often symbolic of the Great Spirit. In modern-day it would be classified as the Great I AM or Creator. Your dream of the Great Spirit is symbolic of your divinity in protecting the Divine Light. Being the Panther or Guardian of Light, you are working directly for the Great Spirit and maintaining balance in the Universe.”

Realizing Her purpose the Warrior knows to remain true to herself, listening to the inner voice and following as needed. This inner voice comes directly from the Great I AM and will always lead Her to the next destination.

Returning to reality, she ponders this heavy burden. Now smiling, she knows what she is to do. With torch in hand, she begins lighting other torches along The Way…

Stepping into the Canvas Lighting the Way for others. As our internal flame burns hot like fire, may it turn into a calming sea for others. Our passions will be shared by others in hopes of inspiring those in need. With every step, remaining in the moment, we seize every opportunity to lend a hand… and maybe even Light another Torch.

The Warrior and the Chopsticks

Often times we have varying ideas of reality. With differences in religious beliefs, political views, and plain day-to-day events, we all have different realities. Within this lifetime we have som any varying views, who’s to say it stops at the end of this world. Here is a story and reflection of  Warrior who witnesses first hand that our varying perceptions do not stop at death’s door.

There is a legend about a warrior in the East who died and went to heaven. “Before I enter,” he said to the gatekeeper, “I would like you to take me on a tour of hell.”

The gatekeeper found a guide to take the warrior to hell. When they got there, the warrior was astonished to see a great table piled high with every tasty food he could imagine – anything one could possibly want to eat or drink. The warrior then looked at the people. They were all starving.

“How could this be?” he asked the guide. “Are they not allowed to eat?”

“Oh yes, they can eat,” said the guide “but they must use the chopsticks they are given. They are five feet long and they must hold them at the end. Just look at them. They miss their mouths every time!”

“Enough,” said the warrior, “This is hell, indeed! Please take me back to heaven.” In heaven, to his surprise, he saw a similar room, with a similar table loaded with all the same food. But, the people were in radiant health, happy and well-nourished. The warrior turned to the guide and said, “I see – no chopsticks here.”

The guide replied that yes, the people were still issued chopsticks and yes, they were still five feet long and that they still must be held at the end – but, the difference was that in heaven the people learned to feed each other.

Just as the Warrior found in the afterlife, we are witnesses too. Often we see the negative side of thins when there is always a silver-lining to every darkened cloud. We can choose to see ourselves as helpless or we can choose to be self-sufficient, allowing a higher source to work within our lives.

Stepping into the Canvas with the view of a Warrior. Instead of seeming helpless and not being able to eat, we work collaboratively as one…never going hungry again. Lending a hand to another, I invariably help myself to eat.
