Inner knowing, a warrior’s companion, comes with practice, with paying attention to the signs and notices that come from within, mirrored without. Without inner knowing, life is a stumbling, rock-strewn path, hard to see. With inner knowing, the way becomes smooth, light-filled, and all is revealed. When all is revealed a warrior’s choices become refined, intent more focused. With inner knowing in place, a warrior’s journey is certain, the goals clear.
How does a warrior hone inner knowing?
Every day a warrior is alert to what is going on inside the self, paying attention to body speak, mind speak, spirit speak, and the language of emotion, which leads the way to greater understanding of just what must be faced in a lifetime.
A warrior knows that seeking stability and fluidity in the world, balanced with inner calmness and awareness within, are key elements to inner knowing, and so a warrior pays attention to everything that is happening inside and out and navigates life without blame or resentment but by taking full responsibility for the self and all that occurs.
Inner knowing naturally develops as a warrior learns to trust the language of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual self. A warrior is aware at all times that within the self all that is necessary waits to be discovered and brought into life. A warrior is aware that a path of heart leads there, to self-knowledge, self-awareness, and inner knowing, and so a warrior never hesitates to act according to and in alignment with what is right.
Denial is strong. But it hardly matters. The changes the channels have forecast are indeed upon us. “Anything is possible” is unfolding daily upon the world stage.

If you are alive today, in human form, you are indeed a part of this sweeping energy of change. What a magnificent time to be here! I suggest, to make the most of the opportunity, everyone of us address the question: Why am I personally here upon this earth at this time of unprecedented change?
The answer to this question lies in where we put our energy, attention, and deepest longing. I stress deepest longing because planet Earth is the playing field of attachment. Robert Monroe went so far as to call Earth the “planet of addiction.”
Attachment and addiction run hand in hand. If you are on this planet you had to emotionally attach. You are seeking something. Until you run the course of that desire, you will not be ready to move on. That is a pretty accurate description of addiction: running the course with an attachment until you’ve learned what you need to learn, or are completely fulfilled and bored, ready to release and move on to new adventure.
As I see it, the planet we are alive on is in a major phase of restructuring. Very clearly, human attachments or addictions have resulted in such an unsustainable environment that the Earth is being challenged in its ability to sustain life altogether. Clearly, the overload of human desire, with its myriad of attachments, has come to a point of total saturation.
The restructuring I speak of is an evolutionary advance that refines our relation to attachments. We must advance from ego want to Self need. Self here is defined as the greater whole of what we are versus the narrow, isolated ego that puts its wants and desires over that of the greater Self, within and without.
If we inventory our deepest driving desires, we might discover them to be issuing from ego’s desire for comfort, security, and attention of the kind that ego calls love. Ego is desperate to achieve its aims because ego, devoid of a connection to its greater self, knows only getting its needs met in the immediacy of this life—and it’s desperate to do so!

With the ego in a leadership role of decision making, this can lead to many repetitive, poor decisions for the personality and the planet. Only in turning inward and discovering the greater Self, and acquiescing to its guidance and true needs, can we advance individually and evolutionarily as a species.
Ego on its own is addicted to the pursuit of its attachments, come what may! Ego serving the heart-centered true needs of the Self brings the personality and world itself into interconnected balance.
We are all here to advance beyond our attachments/addictions, to a greater Self and a greater world that drops its illusions and restores balance. That is the contribution we are all afforded in this time of great change and great advance.
May we all advance together, Chuck

Allow the self to relax and be open to what life offers as you traverse your path of heart. In so doing, new creative juices will flow and new ideas will stimulate new visions. To create a new self is a noble idea and to do so with awareness of the importance of becoming spiritually aware and active in today’s world reveals a true caring for the world and all fellow living beings. To change the self is the catalyst now needed to seed deep-seated change everywhere.
So relax and enjoy the journey of creation of a new self, a new life, and a new world. Without you and your input the world’s possibilities for creation of a greater, kinder, more compassionate world would not be fulfilling. You matter more than you think. Your efforts matter. Your energy matters.
A far greater, more spiritual world is already in the making. To join forces with that is more than a noble idea, benefitting you and all beings. As you continue on your path of heart, through all its twists and turns, know that you are truly making a difference. Your intent to change matters! As you join the energy of good, relax and enjoy the journey!
To withstand the forces of change with a measure of grace may be challenging at times. Just as one learns to protect oneself from the forces of nature so must one discover how to protect oneself appropriately during the changing times now upon us.
A warrior does not take things personally, but uses what comes to gain awareness, to train in combat with energetic forces that all must encounter during times of change. A warrior does not feel defeat for there is only triumph in the path of heart.
Even though the heart itself may feel battered at times, the warrior is certain that the path is right. A warrior knows that the heart soon mends and the path soon brightens again.
