Sacred Warrior/ Sacred Masculine

In our current society, a warrior is most commonly perceived to be one who is trained to fight physical wars against other warriors.

It seems it is time for an upgrade an update to this definition. In short the word warrior needs to become synonymous with that idea of a spiritual warrior fighting metaphysical battles with oneself in order to make progress on one spiritual journey.

These metaphysical battles take place not on the exterior to the warrior (geographical land masses) but instead or on the interior of the Warrior.

These's battles take place in three dimensions: mental, physical, spiritual.

There are several core common elements in each of these three categories.

— There is an inward focus rather than an outward focus.

— this inward focus is directed towards competition, not competition with others but instead competition with oneself and ever improving sense of self mastery. Noticing where one can improve and consciously working on it.

— here one seeks not to beat others but to beat the last your own last best. Like making new personal records.

— there is a distinct lack of killer instinct. Even when roughed up and taunted. Sure things and people get under your skin but this energy is harnessed and gets redirected into self-improvement not at the received object of your irritation.

— achievement is more for self satisfaction instead of status seeking.

— there is lost motivation to beat others then there is motivation to improve one's own game.

— A huge amount of time effort and resources goes into self-awareness, self analysis and self improvement.
