The Birth of the Spiritual Warrior

by Soren Dreier

One of the most powerful forces in spirituality is that it is a quest of debunking and understanding our individual relationship to what each of us sees as Celestial. Some like Big Religion, some like New Age, some like the dark side.

The question of debunking and understanding often is inspired by others’ findings and interpretations. That opens the door to “the following” of either the Bible, the Guru, or the yoga instructor. The problem is that “following” doesn’t give us a mind of our own. Following our inner voice does.

In order to follow our inner voice of perception of the Celestial, we eventually have to break free.
In order to break free, we have to step out of whatever programming we feel we were trapped in, see it for what it is, and walk away. We have to weaponize ourselves in order to do that, be ready to fight for our freedom and hold on to the thought and feel of: Being a spiritual warrior, which somehow sounds like an empty phrase unless we really understand the concept of Warriorhood.

At the beginning of our individual journey, the concept of warriorhood is often seen as fighting on the outside, when it should essentially be seen as an internal affair. I can put it this way: “No need to save all others – if you can’t save yourself.”

During our individual journey through the ages, we have all been into boxed-in Religion. Maybe we were true believers or we did it out of fear. The punishment for introducing or living a life of free spirituality and our own discoveries and personal relationship to the Celestial would historically have put us in great danger, and still does. Being a “disbeliever” in Big Religion is deadly in rather a huge part of this world. In the space left, it is still suicide as goes for people’s social life, work life, and such.

What to say to that, other than: Every interpretation of the Celestial that embeds scaring people out of their wits is: self-exposing. It is so powerful that it openly has the concepts of fear and love very badly confused. It is easy to see that from the outside – it is very hard (and dangerous) to see from the inside of it. The truth of that is hidden in plain sight.

We have through the ages lived enough inside these prisons of “spirituality” and have reached a point of breaking free.

The weapon to reach for here is: I cannot anymore endorse and live my life in a prison that is fear based, suppressing whatever creative or original thought we have on the Celestial. My little soul just can’t take it anymore. There must be another way. And there is: It is called sacrifice and very few people, if any, will take that road just for the sake or experience of it.

We take it when we cannot go further and evolve any more within it, when the bars of the prison start to materialize in front of our very eyes.

Metaphysically: When we cannot ignore the calling of what is in our deepest of inner space. Our soul wants out, both on the inside of our being and our soul wants out of the external prison enforced by some external concept of religion or inside a New Age cult, Scientology, or whatever.
