This Week’s Quotation:

“It is hard to burst toward what you care about without owning the dimensions of your own spiritual warrior. If you do not own that, you might be playing small. Owning your capacity as a spiritual warrior you come to see that you are a person of great stature, and that extends at least to the four corners of the Earth. Your destiny is not to be a victim of what happens in the world. You are the spiritual warrior who changes the world.”

~ Becoming a Sun p. 122

The Warrior’s Song of Glory

It may seem like the opposite of the holiday spirit to speak about the dimensions of one’s own spiritual warrior when messages everywhere proclaim Peace on Earth. Yet peace does not come because everyone forgets their warrior. The warrior represents strength, protection, and loyalty—essential qualities for fulfilling one’s purpose.

Glory to God in the Highest!
It takes a conscious warrior to praise and bring glory into a world that has forgotten its connection to the Divine. How does one give glory? Meekly, without power? What is necessary for the presence of the Lord to be strong and safe upon the Earth?

Praise and glory are carried by one who knows what they love and whom they serve. This knowing is internal and does not depend on what is happening in the world around us.

I love to think of the Christmas angels and the shepherds in the fields as warriors preparing the way for the birth of Christ. They were holding the space for His birth, for His arrival, for His victory.

It takes a warrior to claim the land that belongs to the Lord. Many carols sung this time of year declare the glory that entered the world through the birth of this sacred being.

Thank you for coming.
Thank you for teaching us.
Glory to God in the highest.

What does it mean to become a sun?

Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
