Seven musings in ten days.  Not bad for beginning a new year.  It is great to find time to express in this manner once again.  There is something about a stream of consciousness expression that is special.  I don't know how I would have survived if not for this.  Yes, this expression is that important to me.  Without it, I would have little to nothing to show for my nearly 48 years on the planet.  Oh, I have material possessions.  However, these pale in comparison to the spiritual ones.  I would live a life of spirit.  That is the only way that I know how to live.  Spirit is as important to me as the air that I breathe.  It is what animates me.  It is what sustains me and allows me to be what I am.  But, what is that?  What am I really?  I am spirit expressing in flesh through this vessel that I call my body and my mind.  That applies not only to me, but to each and everyone of us.  My experience is special, yes ... perhaps even unique.  But, this can be true of everyone as well.  It is a matter of realizing it and living it.  I choose to be as no others are.  In some respects that is good.  However, it can also be troublesome at times.

I call myself a Spiritual Warrior, and these be the musings of source speaking through me ... or, typing through me as it were.  I am very much the scribe for spirit, typing whatever she sends into my mind to be expressed.  How long can this go on?  Perhaps, so long as I exist.  But why?  Why must all of these words come forth in this manner?  It is enough that they do.  At this point, it doesn't really matter why.  Perhaps that will change.  But, for the present, what manifests here is a wonderful mystery.  That is OK too, mysteries can be good after all.  What is a "spiritual warrior"?  I believe the book A Course in Miracles specifically identified this as an oxymoron.  But is it really one?  What is a warrior?  Is it one who fights for what  he believes? 

"A spiritual warrior is someone who pursues spirituality with a certain amount of vigor and determination."

"However, when we live our life as Spiritual Warriors, we shine our light on all of our apparent challenges and they begin to transform as a result of our choosing to renew ourselves thru the practice of spiritual principles."

"The only way one can transcend to the level of a Spiritual Warrior is by having faith in life. Yes, Spiritual Warriors have bills, have life challenges, have relationship difficulties, but they are not defined by these challenges, they embrace them and respond to them with Love, not fear. And with Love, all that which is unlike it, will fade away. When you're a Spiritual warrior, you walk with a spring in your step, a smile on your face and knowingness in your heart. One can always spot Spiritual Warriors because they shine their way thru life. Spiritual Warriors know that the future will take care of itself and that the Highest Choice for every moment is the choice of Love. A Spiritual Warrior knows his/her place on Earth, and knows it is the Universes great pleasure to give him/her the kingdom. A Spiritual Warrior carries the consciousness that life is truly good. Let us choose to be Spiritual Warriors, let us choose to take the high road into the unpredictable future. Let us be the individuals we dream to be, let us be Spiritual Warriors so that our true selves can heal the wounded, love the unkind and manifest peace in our world, everyday of our lives. "

“Each and every one of you, is a being of Light. But there are those who have agreed to come forth in this time and defend the honor of the Light, those who are Spiritual Warriors. It is difficult for many to accept that of the position of a Spiritual Warrior. They need to realize that which is to be accomplished. The more that they struggle against it, the more that they become dark and the more that they struggle against it. It then becomes an endless battle within themselves, their life and their environment.”

Spiritual Warriors are here to help transform the energy of War to the energy of Peace. We are a part of an Army of Light. Some may choose to say God, or Great Spirit, or some other concept of a Supreme Being. It does not matter what your belief system is. It does not matter what your religion is. A Spiritual Warrior is willing to stand up and be counted to defend the honor of the Light, to defend the honor of God.


"A spiritual warrior is a person that has found their inner spirit or truth and understood that in order to be a human being one has to be attuned to it at all times. This means to struggle and fight against all kinds of inner and outer obstacles. Hence spiritual peace or bliss is a result of fight, personal vigor and application of will-power."

Don Jaun says "The impeccable warrior is one who can play the games of the world as well, if not better, than those who think that’s all there is."

"The spiritual warrior’s path is one of creating harmony between love and power, life of action in the world and a life of spiritual contemplation; a life of personal achievement and a life of service to others."

"The goal of the Spiritual Warrior is to make the world a finer place. Sometimes, this is best accomplished at home instead of on the world stage–but, believe me, the energy we bring into the world in our own homes does affect the global field. One drop of Light brought into your own backyard can avert a nuclear disaster. We do have that much power, as Individuals who live Symbolically, over events that happen here in the Matrix."

"Life is not a matter of avoiding the tough lessons, but of extracting all we can from them for the advancement of our spiritual selves. The difference between a Spiritual Warrior and a lot of people who wander around waiting for success, or love, or abundance to happen to them is that the Spiritual Warrior acts, not reacts."

Just a few references from a search using Google.  I didn't expect to find such gems.  I'm sure that I've done a similar search before and not found anything.  Clearly, this is anything but an oxymoron!

That is the most words from outside sources that I have incorporated into these musings for as long as I can remember.  This is just not something that I typically do.  Then again, I am ever surprised by what spirit moves me to do.  Last night was a case in point.  It seemed like I had slept a whole night when I awoke at 1:30 to discover that this was not the case at all.  I rested while awake for the rest of the night getting up many times before finally awaking at 6:20.  I'm not sure what this was about.  Perhaps it was a sign that I need far less sleep than I generally get.
