An action born out of faith. A faith in the deep force of life and
unconditional love. This is the path of heart that a Spiritual Warrior
takes. Spiritual warriors don’t get paralyzed in the fear and doubt of
hoping against hope. A warrior acts in this committed way, even when
challenged. The commitment is required because in our journey we will
certainly fumble and fall many times. It is in having a strong pledge
that we get back up again. It is common to fall to result. Jesus
Christ the greatest Warrior had the courage, discipline, and openness
to Love unconditionally even as he was being rejected and physically
persecuted during his days. Even when his body was in physical pain,
the only emotions he created and expressed were of love and
compassion. He did not use a reason in his mind to hate or judge. This
is extraordinary impeccability. It can be easy to love some people that like us or treat us well.
However, it requires a incredible commitment to love in the face of
those that reject us. This commitment will cause us to challenge our
beliefs about our judgments and not being compassionate. We must be
committed to love beyond our own self-serving welfare of what it will
bring us. This is how we will become happy beyond our current pattern
of beliefs. This becomes our commitment. If Jesus Christ could love in
his challenges, then we can learn to love unconditionally in our
challenges. The other greatest warrior who unconditionally challenged his beliefs
was Gautama Buddha, who lived between 563 and 483 BC. At 29 Prince
Siddhartha Gautama left all the worldly pleasures to attain the
reality of life, and became the enlightened one. It was a state in
which the Buddha gained an insight into the deepest workings of life
and therefore into the cause of human suffering, the problem that had
set Him on his spiritual quest in the first place. A decision taken by
him never to turn and look back at the luxuries even in the most
difficult times is by itself the greatest victory as a warrior. By challenging our own beliefs we can dissolve the lies that cause our
suffering. To challenge our own beliefs requires courage because it
means the end of our illusion of safety. When other people challenge
our own beliefs we are usually quick to defend. We defend them even if
they cause us to suffer. As a warrior we learn not to defend what we
believe, and then to challenge those very beliefs ourselves. In this
way we are able to sort out the truth from illusions.
