This Week’s Quotation:
The masculine dynamic of the spiritual warrior is the extension of spiritual energy into the spiritual commons in which the warrior finds himself. It is a contribution to the spiritual commons. In the masculine dynamic, you realize you can bring a profound creative influence into the world that is not just in your space. It is not just for you and yours. Your strength as a spiritual warrior can serve a larger and larger field. You are bigger than your home. Your nature is to be expansive. You are destined to increase your ambit—your sphere of creative influence—into greater fields. Your nature is to bring the dominion of love into an ever-increasing world of influence—into the spiritual commons.

Your Gifts as a Spiritual Warrior
Author, Becoming a Sun
I begin today’s blog with the assertion that all people have the potential to let the masculine dynamic of the spiritual warrior become activated for them, just as all people have the potential to allow the feminine dynamic of the spiritual warrior to become activated. So I hope you do not exclude yourself from this consideration regarding the gifts of the spiritual warrior.
There is an urge that is creative at its core, stronger in some than others. It is the urge to extend influence into the larger world. In world culture, people have expressed this urge as military conquest. Economic and political conquest tends to come along with it. Those factors are clearly at work in our world today, keeping humankind in an old paradigm.
How does the spiritual warrior express this creative urge in a way that serves the evolution of humankind?
The spiritual warrior works in the field of consciousness and culture. He or she is attuned to the source vibration of their own being and allows that to reverberate through their human capacity—through thought, feeling, word, and action. The spiritual warrior knows that their own field of consciousness and their own culture of one connects to a larger field, ultimately to all of humankind. So they know that their reverberation is like the hand that beats the drum, the string that vibrates the violin, or the clapper that rings the bell of human consciousness.
The spiritual warrior is a cultural creative, bringing iconic expression to the forms of enlightened consciousness. They inspire awakening in the field of consciousness and culture.
So don’t be afraid of the urge within you to bring peace to the world. Follow the compulsion to influence the larger field of consciousness. Just tune in to the pure source within you and let it do its perfect work.
Bring your gifts as a spiritual warrior. Be the bell that awakens the world.
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.

Thanks, David. Yes, I agree. I was recently asked to speak for a friend’s gathering and found myself saying that a balance of yen/yang and masculine/feminine is needed in the world for many reasons including the following one. If I/we are all masculine to the extreme with only aggression, assertiveness, etc., we empower the Putins of the world by our example. But if we are all feminine to the extreme, there is no one on hand to deter the Putins of the world. so one the one hand, where would i be without honoring Mother God. And yet on the other, where I would be without expressing the Spiritual Warrior? i give loving thanks to you, David, for all you offer. Love, Tom
I have long felt the desire to extend my influence into the larger world. Thanks for so accurately describing the creative way to do this–a spiritual warrior governed by the source vibration of Love.
We have been both at one life-time or another – so we can decide moment to moment.
