Light-Hearted Warriors Also Called the Straight and Narrow Path

Remember Your Mission

To make the world safe for love, joy and happiness.

• Every positive action you take, every kindness you make, reverberates to uplift every being on the planet unto the end of time.
• There is so little time to fathom the Mystery, Beauty and Love that is your birthright, so stay the course and make haste...gently.
• Follow only 'Paths with Heart'.  These will be a source of strength and comfort.  Any other path, no matter how alluring, will weaken you.
• Persistence is the other quality of the warrior.  Rome was not built in a day, as they say.  The warrior persists because he knows that the end is certain if this is done.  But if he wavers, the end is not certain.  Ups and downs are certain, too, so these do not upset the warrior on the mission.
• The Great Outfitter has given you everything you need to be victorious.  You will not be given any assignment beyond your training status.
• Know your enemies: guilt, resentment, fear, anger, lust, greed, jealousy and the rest of the gang.  The gang will show up because Love allows all things. This gang must be faced, for how can there be courage without danger, or virtue without temptation?  When they rear their ugly heads, you need only observe them calmly in yourself and others.  Then they will lose their power over you and slowly fade away.
• It is not a person, but a phantom acting through oneself or another, that frightens, embarrasses, or torments you.  Knowing this helps you to Allow It All, but not to wallow in it, and dramatize it.  It also helps you to have Compassion for Yourself and for all others.
• The warrior remains empty of self, as much as possible.  This is not the same as repression, suppression of emotion, or just controlling your thoughts.  Emptying the old self and ego through the feet allows the new and the powerful to flow in through the head.  This is Power, you will find.  Power is not about force, but about the right use of the Will.
• Keep your Equipment in good condition!  The basics area:
• a Healthy Body
• a Clear Mind
• a Loving Heart
• an Undauntable Spirit, and
• Unshakable Faith in all that is Good, True and Beautiful (GOD).
• Advance when conditions seem favorable.  Retreat does not mean defeat.  Never hesitate to call for 'Help!' (No martyrs, please).
• Keep your weapons in Warrior-Readiness!  They include:
• The Bow of Benevolence
• The Arrows of Piercing Positivity and Total Integrity
• The Penetrating Ray of Sincerity
• The Headdress of Humility
• The War Paint of Impeccability, and\
• The Shields of Good Deed and Cheerful Object.
• The closer you are to winning the Battle-Of-The-Moment, the harder your foe will try to defeat you.  At these times, Relax, Breathe Deeply and ... Endure.
• Do not cling to your self-images and self-definitions, for the battle lines are ever changing.  The warrior must learn to tolerate some ambiguity and confusion.  This is how the Soul feels its way forward. 
• This quality of slowly moving forward one day at a time, feeling you way into the future and the present, is called Discernment, a quality totally unlike judgment, with which it is often confused.  Judgment is an ego decision about what or who is good and what is bad.  Discernment is never of the ego.  It is flowing and soft, while judgment is harsh and final.
• Through all travails, the warrior loves the Self (with a capital S).  For this is the central part of the struggle – learning to love the Self in the midst of battle, and to separate the Real Self from the false ego self.
• In the end, the Good Guys and Gals always win.  So don't despair if you lose a battle or two.  Rest up, dust yourself off and jump back into the fray  (and do your best to enjoy it).
• When you don't know what to say or do, step into the Ring of Patience.  Ask only for Truth and Clarity of Vision.  Wait there to be In-formed.  In your helplessness, help will come.
• For Emergencies:   Swallow the pill of 'Controlled Folly'.  It will bring relief, for you will know that at one level it is all screen play.  The Real Self is eternal, all-powerful, all-wonderful, and cannot be touched at all.  So be ready to learn to laugh at yourself a little, and laugh a little at and with everyone else.  Relax, see their flaws and yours, but do not fear them as this is not helpful.
• Your Secret Weapons:  1. Love your Self always, more and more, AND 2. Take The Time Each Day to retreat to your Private Place of Peace and Power (the Secret Sanctuary Within).  Commune there with the Great Spirit to reaffirm your bond and allow the Great Spirit's All-Powerful Vibrations to renew your strength.
• Above all, remember who You are!  Nothing less than the Emissary of the Great Spirit... The Link between Creator and created... The Spirit dancing in the flesh... The extension of God’s Love into this world of form... Not the body you animate, but the Force of Animation herself.
