The Spiritual Warrior

  • 2010

All the energy that others consume in self-importance, obsession, competition, the eagerness to appear and dominate, attachment and aversion, all that energy the warrior re-orients towards conscious evolution. ”

1.- THE CONQUEST ON SAME AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF INTERNAL FREEDOM IS THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR.

It thus provides a special meaning to existence, which begins to count and have its own specific weight from second to second, from moment to moment.

2.- TO REACH THE INTERNAL FREEDOM AND COMPLETE THE CONQUEST OF ONE AND THE CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION.

The spiritual warrior instrumentalizes all activity, circumstance and situation to be touched by Wisdom. Thus he welcomes everything that appears in his existential path, however painful it may be. Nothing in itself is an obstacle if it becomes a support for realization.

3.- CULTIVATE YOUR TEMPLE.

It is both strong and meek, controlled and fluid. Do not neglect the attitude of courage, facing fears and fears. Appreciate the skill and burnish your warrior character with meditation, true motivation and openness to the current of awake energy. Learn to navigate on the level of everyday life and on the everyday supra.

4.- DISCOUNT OF LEISURE AND DOES NOT DELIVER TO INDOLENCE.

It is ready. It trains. Always ready for self conquest. But it is never rigid or compulsive. He is never more forgiving of himself than others. He is his own challenge and his own challenge. Apathy has no place in his mind. It does not yield to the allegations of negligence. Preserve the edge of discernment and know that Wisdom is gained and not acquired for free. Thus he does not let his will crack.

5.- IF SOMETHING VALUES, ABOVE EVERYTHING, THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR IS THE INNER PEACE.

Nothing is superior to a flash of true peace. Nothing is comparable. But that peace is the result of a relentless struggle against his own ego. It is won with pain and determination. It is the oasis at the end of the desert. It is not the heritage of the weak, and therefore even in its own weakness, it finds strength. It is not allowed to pretend to be weak, but on the contrary even the weakness is extracted strength to continue walking. You get advantage of even the most disadvantageous.

6.- THE MOOD ALWAYS LIVE.

The renewed mood. Although the wounds are deep and long like a river, the spirit is unbreakable. Such is the warrior's mood. Teaching is a failure; of defeat: a victory; of loss, a lesson in equanimity. A vital mood, but calm. A spirit that prevents useless hesitation and that allows to face the adverse circumstances of existence without anxiety. A spirit that remains even before death and allows you to reconcile with it with elegance and lucidity. That is the spirit that allows to overcome the anguish that grips every human being in especially difficult situations. The spiritual warrior proceeds as if that anguish does not show up ... even if it presents itself.

.7.- IT IS THE CONQUEST OF ONE SAME THE MOST ELEVATED AND THE MOST NOBLE.

This is what the warrior knows and that is how he uses all his resources to make it possible. Summon the Shakti (Divine Mother) using all her powers. So the warrior is abandoned, but not abandoned. Just as you wait without waiting. Just as he believes in everything without believing in anything. It is a living paradox, because life is in itself the great paradox by which you pilgrimage. Assume, but not faint. It is used thoroughly when necessary: ​​it is removed to its abysmal intimacy when circumstances require it. Sometimes he is assaulted by the immense loneliness of every warrior. But that is the battle that best knows how to fight. Loneliness yes, but not helplessness. There is a taste of fullness and infinity in the unrestrained loneliness of the human being. The warrior feeds on that flavor.

8.- THE WARRIOR IS AN EXPLOITER OF ALL POSSIBILITY, OF ALL EXPERIENCE, OF ALL ITINERARY.

His curiosity is very much alive, although not compulsive. He looks at everything, he learns everything, he takes inspiration from everything. Hence there is never room for boredom; much less for shyness or thymus mood. In his exploration he consumes a lot of energy, but he must learn to renew it. He knows how to accumulate energy and make use of all his resources.

When he feels weak, he connects with the Primordial Source. From it I take his strength, his serene courage, his fearlessness to penetrate closed universes for the common human being. He is an instrument of that Primordial Source. He is humble thinking that it is only a speck in the vast universes. But it is toned feeling that this speck is part of the unity of the Primordial Source. Knowing the instrument of a higher power, it is not identified with the action, much less with the results of it.

But proceed with skill and do the best you can at any time. It does without doing, participates without participating. It is not delivered to disconcerting apprehensions; Do not be overwhelmed by restlessness. He doesn't complain, he doesn't pity himself. Do not open the gates of doubt by doubt. Trust your living creature energy. If his forces are almost exhausted, he takes refuge in the cave of his heart and hears the voice of the Beloved that instills new spirits. Retrieve thus the spirit of the warrior, which is his greatest treasure, his most splendid wealth.

9.- THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR TAKES LIFE LIKE A TEACHER.

It is accepted in principle as it is and from that acceptance begins its path of self-development, not outside of life, but in continuous contact with life. Never accept injustice, cultivate the sense of service, make inner peace to share it, remain in connection with the most intimate reality of enlightenment and have to face the ordinary situations of life does it from the simplicity that allows learning.

He does not like artifice or presumptuousness. He refines his relationships with others and himself and appeals to the goodness that resides within himself and others. He speaks of heart and heart, and knows that he has in common with all beings in the world the Wisdom that arises from the Primordial Source, from the Unconditioned and Ineffable. It is the knowledge that guides the spiritual warrior and that is in seed in all beings.

10.- THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR APPRECIATES HIS BODY, ATTENDS HIM, GIVES IT, PREPARES HIM.

No attachment, no obsession. He also takes care of his mind, cultivates it with care. It imposes a dignity on his character and examines his behavior. Through meditation he regains his basic harmony. The meditative posture is a symbol of the warrior's mood. From Earth he wants to project himself towards Totality. Meditation allows you to enhance your vigilic element, tidy up your mind, open your heart, synchronize all your energies. All spiritual warriors use meditation, but each in their own way.

11.- THE INTREPIDITY OF THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR CONSISTS IN OPENING, NOT PARAPETING OR LOTS OF LOWING.

Take that risk and expect what happens without being taken by frustrations of the past or expectations of the future. Proceed precisely as circumstances require. It is both hard and meek. Watch your thoughts and behavior. I greatly appreciate the human relationship. He knows that there is no worse enemy than an overflowing ego and that nothing weakens as much as infatuation and self-importance. It uses discernment to make its way into confusion; Appeals the understanding provided by the Teaching to shed light through obfuscation. He never drowns his passions; he guides them. Take every moment to stimulate the process of self-knowledge.

12.- DOES NOT CREATE RESISTANCE.

This. It is no use patching or getting lost in compromises. He faces and assumes the risk of rolling across the battlefield. But without resistance, the events are as they are and without being distorted by the hallucination of disorderly thinking. The warrior is trained to see things as they are, to extract all their wisdom. He does not let his psychology overlap events and fail them. That's why he doesn't like escapism, subterfuges, self-deception. It is not denying the phenomenal world (samsara) that it is overcome, but penetrating it with very awake and equanimous attention.

13.- THERE IS NO WORSE MORE THAN SELF-DECEPTION.

The self-deception acquires characters of greater gravity in the path of the warrior, because it is not necessary to imagine that one is walking if one is not advancing a single inch. Honesty is the antidote against self-deception.

A spiritual warrior can stop being everything but honest. It is better to depart from the Teaching than to be in the Teaching without strictly committing to it. The spiritual warrior develops a great sense of humor, but does not play with the Teaching.

14.- THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR LOOKS AT HIMSELF WITHOUT SUBTERFUGES.

It is painful to expose oneself, to examine one's own meanness, fears, egocentric attitudes, neurological tendencies. Opens his psyche in channel before himself. It tears at the very vision of its interiority and there it finds all its strength to emerge into a dimension of truthfulness. It faces all its internal ghosts. It does not relieve or cushion your fears. He instrumentalizes them. It puts an end to the compromises. He does not take refuge in his psychological ivory tower, but emerges by breaking the hearts that imprison and drown him. Look at his mind, his repetitive grooves of consciousness, without infinite self-protective habits, his impressive warp of subtly woven self-deception.

It recognizes its rare inner atmosphere of fears, resentments, anxieties, fallacious pretensions and selfishness. Because he is a warrior he faces his deficiencies. It does not faint. Does not conform. Contemplate the need to change and begin to change. That is his contest. Conquering the world is nothing next to what the conquest of oneself represents. He resorts to the power of the mind and the heart. Learn to think and stop thinking; To love and be compassionate. Use your search engine intuition.

15.- THE ALTERNATE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR IN HIMSELF SENSITIVITY AND COURAGE.

With sensitivity live all situations; courageously overcome adverse circumstances. Because he is a diligent observer, he learns from any circumstance. Because he is not allowed to keep his mind dull, he knows at all times what his goal is and how much he has to walk towards it. Because it keeps the motivation for inner freedom very alive, overcomes the fascination of everyday life, gathers strength and continues to move towards Realization.

16.- THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR TRIES TO KEEP HIS MIND CLEAN.

No dogmas, no ideologies, no obsessions. All this steals its brightness, its strength, its mood. No prejudices or indoctrinations. All this steals his freshness, his skill. Trust penetrative observation, beyond filters and accumulations. He knows that the best advisor is the same inner harmony and the best lamp is lucid understanding. It is based on discipline and non-coercive or compulsive effort.

17.- THE WARRIOR PUTS THE MEANS TO WIN A DIMENSION OF CONSCIENCE NOT POLLUTED BY THE APEGO AND THE AVERSION.

In that dimension of consciousness there is no anguish and therefore one can relate to life and other creatures from the sanity provided by inner serenity. From this dimension of consciousness, which is not lost in reveries or obsessions, it is possible to engage in the situation as it is and draw all its inspiration and teaching. When this is done, everything becomes a meditative act. There is a message at every moment and there is a new spontaneity that has nothing to do with instinct or begging. There is a refreshing adaptability. One enters with skill in the labyrinth of the phenomenal.

There is no clinging; There is no resentment. Things are lived with freshness, without internal tearing. It is suffered, enjoyed, from equanimity and relying on the energy and quality of being human. It is despite all the conditioning; One remains connected to his real nature, despite all circumstances. Each situation acquires relevance, beyond routine and boredom.

18.- THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR VALUES A LOT OF PURE INTELLIGENCE, NOT THE CONCEPTS OR THE ORDINARY THOUGHT.

Pure intelligence is the art of seeing clearly, of understanding lucidly, of penetrating phenomena as they are. That intelligence results in true love, honest behavior, the optimal relationship with ourselves and with others. That intelligence allows a spontaneous and natural discipline to emerge, an unfeigned or artificial meekness, a contagious and healthy fluidity. That intelligence is the full vision, the one that penetrates and clarifies.

The spiritual warrior is exercised in any mode of meditation to stimulate it. That intelligence reveals reality as it is and allows us to move towards the unconditioned. Dismantle the ego, dissolve attachment, burn false clothes and costumes. With that intelligence, the mind does not create its own projections, there is no possibility of infatuation, it is allowed to rely forever on aggressiveness or the desire for power. Such an intelligence purifies; He makes a loving attitude, puts harmony and order within oneself.

19.- WHEN THE WARRIOR FEELS OR KNOWS HIMSELF, IT IS CONNECTED WITH THE LINEAGE OF THE SPIRITUAL WARRIORS, HE FEELS ONE WITHIN THE INTERNAL CIRCLE OF HUMANITY, TAKES INSPIRATION AND STRENGTH OF THOSE WHO WAKEN UP AND PERFORMED HIS HIT.

Then the warrior regains his courage, his fearlessness, even his boldness. Search setbacks are only apparent. Consistency is what counts.

All the energy that others consume in self-importance, obsession, competition, the eagerness to appear and dominate, attachment and aversion, all that energy the warrior redirects towards conscious evolution.

This rich flow of inner energy allows the connection with the energy of all living beings and thus never runs out, but is renewed and intensified. Expanding the awareness of all that is within his reach, the warrior discovers the affability, the sense of a blade of grass, the fullness of the impersonal and non-referential, the lucidity of the vigilant and equanimous vigil, the feeling of freedom from opening without barriers, the comforting taste of facing facts as they are, without subterfuges; the pleasure that provides the ability to explore everything phenomenal, without being contaminated, tarnish or seduced by phenomena and without losing connection with the angle of stillness and sanity.

Even the most trivial events serve the warrior to resume the thread of consciousness. By emptying everything, it is filled with its own existential reality. Not having the compulsive need to prove anything, everything happens by itself. Control and flow. It's everyone's and nobody's too much. It is without being. Develop a full vision, not fragmented. Relying on your primary intuition you don't need psychic shields.

Many times he is assaulted by the neurotic thoughts that form the ancient memories of every human being, but he learns how to deal with them. Meditation enables them not to let themselves be taken and imprisoned by mental images.

20.- GOOD PART OF THE SUFFERING IS IN THE MIND.

This is what the warrior knows, and he knows that in the mind it must be resolved. From looking at the past and the future, the human being does not dispose shrewdly for the present. Inhabiting the obfuscation and unsatisfactoriness of the mind, there can be no communion with oneself or with others. The spiritual warrior faces his mind, faces the conceptual, confronts the compulsiveness of reactive thinking, applies equanimity to his old impulses, understands that the best defense is not to feed self-defense neurons, he trains in dynamiting the foundations of the ego : identification with the form, name, idealized image and self-esteem, infatuation, conditioning and indoctrination, mental reactions and habits, and others.

The warrior learns to be in himself, from serenity. If we do not learn to be with oneself, where can we go that we feel good? The spiritual warrior undresses psychologically to go beyond the delay of his psychology. He knows that there is no process without suffering, but he does not generate suffering over suffering. It does not yield to the fantasies, constructions and collectibles of the ego. He knows that to be you have to not be.

21.- THE DIFFICULTIES ARE THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR.

They encourage you to be different, overcome fears, rely on your energy to relate wisely to the situation, appeal to your resistance, patience and equanimity. Difficulties intone him, strengthen him, prevent him from getting moldy, give him the opportunity to test if he is really evolving.

22.- THE MIND MAKES CONFUSION AND OFFUSCTION AS HUMIDITY RECREATES THE MOSS.

That is why the spiritual warrior enters his mind to resolve the darkness and make the lucidity of consciousness. Depending on the condition of the mind, what ties some releases free. The attitude of the mind is essential. The warrior takes care of her like a unique and unrepeatable orchid. To meditate is to solve the problems in the mind and discover all the subtle structure of the ego to inhabit beyond its reactions and its paranoia.

It is the ego that chases and runs away. It is the ego that clings to achievements and becomes frustrated; It is satiated and bored. But when the warrior sits beyond his ego and learns to be, he discovers the immensity without banks that penetrates everything.

23.- THE WARRIOR FEEDS A SENSE OF DEEP RESPECT FOR HIMSELF AND FOR OTHERS.

There is no true love without respect. To respect is not to harm, not to demand, not to force, not to attack even in the most subtle way. To respect is not to manipulate, not to be Ladino, not to use artifacts or subterfuges to exploit materially or psychologically to others.

Respect a stone, a flower, a creek or a sentient creature. His attitude of respect exhales his fragrance incessantly. It is because of that unshakable attitude of respect that the warrior is never arrogant or petty, nor does he take refuge in fallacious regrets or blame. Because he respects himself, he is responsible and does not lament without meaning. Because it is respected, it undertakes to modify itself and really puts the means for inner mutation. The warrior who is not respected is outside the art of spiritual warfare.

24.- THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR MEDITATES IN DEATH AS INEVITABLE, IMPREVISED, DEFINITIVE AND IRREPARABLE, BECAUSE ASY POWER EVERY SECOND OF HIS LIFE AND PUTS IT TO THE SERVICE OF THE SEARCH.

There is no time to lose. Inspired by the divine messenger of death, the warrior strengthens his purpose, polishes his attitude, does not seek useless consolations or be seduced by phenomena, is not lost in banalities, cultivates proper behavior, does not tangle with meanness, does not cultivate negative emotions, instrumentalizes everything to find liberating knowledge, improves their relationships, does not waste their time on memories or mechanical fantasies, is always ready to conquer itself, believes itself in the face of adversity, fosters without truce attention and stimulate awareness. He knows that when he manages to die to his conditionings and his ego, even the fear of death will be gone.

25.- THE SPIRITUAL WARRIOR MASTERS THE ART OF INAFECTED LOOKING.

Staying in the observer's energy, unidentified, is free. That freedom is your gain, it is your achievement, it is your substance. In unaffected looking, in witnessing unidentified, there is no conflict, there is no tension. There is only the will to be. That observer energy acquires all its power when the mind learns to silence itself.

If the chattering of the mind ceases and the attention intensifies to its limit, the warrior reaches with his vision beyond those appearances that stops others. In that mind so abysmally silent, so immensely attentive, a transpersonal energy springs that increases awareness and widens understanding. The ineffable, the unconditioned takes the warrior.

The inner fire unfolds and burns the impurities of the mind, deflating the coagulated habits and allowing an implosion of understanding to arise that provides a turn to the mind and a hitherto unsuspected way of seeing.
