As a Man Thinketh, So is He

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if we lived in harmony? What would happen to the suffering? The pain? It is said the world is changed with a single thought, beginning at the level of the self. We cannot change the world on our own, but collectively we can change the face of the earth.

 

The Warrior is not new to this concept as he has learned with every interaction the effects are felt across the globe. He also knows the laws of nature continue to counterbalance the Love  shared at every meeting. The law of nature strives for balance and if there’s abundance of positivity, there is an equal force of negativity. This does not stop him from spreading peace, for he knows that one day balance will be restored within every human being. When balance is restored at the individual level, balance is restored at the global level.

 

If every person would sit down for 30 minutes, the world would be at balance at a cost of inhibiting growth. Through our daily actions growth is restored…in death there is new life. Sitting for 30 minutes would surely stop the earth from rotating. The remedy? …do nothing. In doing nothing, balance is restored.

 

The Warrior, while sharing kindness, maintains his daily activities while remaining vitreous in his daily events. The shift he chose is seeing a life he wants to live and doing so. He achieves life through a single thought.

 

Exercising the power of thought, he creates a self-world of peace and harmony. While many see it as delusional, he sees it as it was written. Our lives are meant to be whatever we want it to be…why wouldn’t we want to live in happiness?

 

The suffering, while all around us, does not have to control our lives…only allow self-growth.

 

Stepping into the Canvas the Warrior co-creates the world around him. Through his thoughts he becomes the painter, his actions the painted, his gratitude the canvas. Take on an attitude of painter, the painted and the canvas itself. We are a part of the collective whole making us one with the canvas.

Sword of Truth

When we last heard from our Warrior friend he was just beginning his self-discovery. Still not knowing what is to come he faithfully moves along the path laid before him without any working tools. Wondering what tools necessary, he begins dialogue with his Father above.

Never having dialogue with his Father before, he stumbled on his own words until finally asking for proper tools to be shown. While wandering the path, he discovers a broken handle of what appears to be an ancient sword. When he pulled the broken handle from the dirt it was in fact whole. Our Warrior wiped the sword clear of dirt and “Truth” lay inscribed on the sides of the sword. Looking to the heavens, “Is this a sign for me? Am I to take this?”

As he tightens his grip on the sword, accepting the possibility of being handed the “sword of truth” by the almighty, a beast appears from the dust and threatens attack. Instinctively our Warrior thrusts the sword into the beast killing him instantly and returning him to dust.

Witnessing this event an old hermit appears admiring his sword, “a sword like that is kept concealed for it is sought after by many.” As our Warrior heard the last words of the old hermit, he vanished.

In life we may wander our entire lives until we choose life authentic. For many  blessed to find self-mastery, there are many who will not find this self-discovery or the possibility of being born for greatness. We are all born for greatness and life is here for the taking. Not always knowing where we are going, we look to God above for Guidance.

The answers or directions are not always cut and dry, as our warrior found out. He asked for an answer of whether the “Sword of Truth” was for the taking and instantly a beast appeared forcing him to slay the beast. His answer was not direct but assuredly the sword intended for his hands.

Have you ever noticed the many coincidences in life? Just as our warrior will soon find out, we too will understand there are never coincidences only synchronised events. The Sword of Truth becomes our  impeccable words, speaking truthfully at all times. Our old hermit reminds us, “our gifts are to stay as gifts, sharing them with all Pilgrims In search of truth.” This gift in particular is one of great value and kept safely, as many will attempt to rob us of our gifts but ultimately shared with all.

Stepping into the Canvas with Sword of Truth in hand, speaking only of Love and truth. The softer our warriors words, the mightier the roar. Truth will often times be as sharp as our warriors sword piercing the most ferocious beast, leaving them to die. We mustn’t worry about the words chosen, but always speak the truth…for the truth shall set us free.
