The Way of the Warrior is simple. However, as you have often heard me say, it may be simple but it's not always easy.

Rules of the Road. Today I would like to give you a few of my simple guidelines or "rules of the road" if you will. And that road is the Way of the Warrior.

1. Speak Her/His Truth: The Warrior always speaks her/his truth - no matter what the circumstances.
2. Detached: The Warrior is totally detached from what others think and say about her/him. This is absolutely necessary if she's/he's going to observe the first rule above.
3. See the Divinity: The Warrior always does her/his best to see the Divinity in all that is. In this way, she/he shall never have any desire to own, control, manipulate, misuse or abuse any of the Great Spirit's creatures.
4. Follow the Highest Path: The Warrior always follows the highest path as dictated by the highest authority in the Universe ~ herself/himself.
5. Surrender to Life: The Warrior totally trusts in and surrenders to the flow of her/his life. She/he knows all is as it should be. Therefore, she/he must always completely trust in and surrender to her Higher Self, her/his Soul, the Great Spirit.
6. All is Within: The Warrior knows all Love, all Wisdom, all Power lie within her/him - within her/his heart, her/his mind, her/his body, her/his Soul. There is nothing to seek, nothing to find, nowhere to go - except WITHIN.
7. There Are No Mistakes: The Warrior knows with absolute certainty that she/he has never made a mistake - she/he can never make a mistake. All of her/his life is simply a lesson in this classroom called Planet Earth. She/he learns as she goes. All is as it should be.
8. Don't Take Life Too seriously:  The Warrior never takes life too seriously. It's all a game, after all, a game in the classroom of Planet Earth. And games should be FUN. Enjoy the game, it won't last forever!
9. Always Full Heart: The Warrior's heart is always full and always grateful. She/he never knows lack or emptiness. Except that is, when she/he creates those illusions by getting too infatuated with the Great Illusion - the human experience.
10. Interesting Challenges: The Warrior knows the Great Illusion creates some highly interesting challenges. For example, the challenge to rise above the Great Illusion.
11. The Great Illusion: As she/he rises above the Great Illusion, the Warrior knows this experience is as it should be, she/he has chosen it. And in this choosing, she/he is remembering her/his way back to the Light - back to her/his Home. That was the only reason for choosing the Great Illusion in the first place.
12. Different Paths: The Warrior knows all her/his brothers and sisters on Planet Earth have the same destination she/he does - Home. But each may take a different path. And the Warrior knows that's okay! All will get Home - no matter what path they take. It cannot be otherwise, for all paths lead Home.
13. The Way of the Wind: The Warrior knows the way of the wind. But she/he knows she cannot capture it - she/he cannot own it. She/he can love it, luxuriate in its presence, glory in its energy. But if she/he tries to capture it, it becomes something other than what it truly is... it becomes still and stagnant air. She/he can never possess it completely - unless she/he refuses to ever own it - unless she/he refuses to ever have sovereignty over it. She/he can possess it ONLY by letting it be free - by letting it be what it is.
14. It cannot be otherwise. The Way of the Warrior IS The Way of the Wind.
