A Soulbyte is a spark of the infinitesimal, a portion of the endless wisdom and the magic from which we all come, to which we all innately have access, and to which we will all one day return.
Our Daily Soulbytes are messages channeled from the energy of each day, from the dreams of the night, and from what the universe declares to be most important in the moment. They are usually posted before 7 AM every weekday.
We hope these Soulbytes offer helpful guidance, but we also encourage all of our readers to feel the energy of each day themselves and to make responsible choices and decisions.
Unfortunate events are bound to occur, and yet they do not have to be perceived as such. A warrior takes everything in stride and so one event has no more or less impact than another, for to a warrior all that occurs is part of the greater whole.
A warrior learns the necessary lessons in life and moves on unencumbered, eagerly awaiting what comes next, for a warrior knows that everything is meaningful, everything is necessary, and everything soon changes.
When emotions take over, it is time to look deep into the self. Who is to blame? Who is at fault for your aroused emotions, for how you feel? Like nature, emotions exist. Like nature they cannot be controlled. They arise like the sun. They pour like the rain. They rattle like the wind. And yet, a warrior learns that to tame emotions is to work with emotions, and to work with emotions is to discover just what it is that triggers them.
Emotions are valuable and necessary aspects of human life, and so a warrior befriends them and studies them, aware that they come out of necessity and are not to be dismissed but fully explored on the deepest level. To know the self is the warrior’s greatest charge. After that everything else will be known as well. For a warrior knows that mankind is the deepest and most complicated mystery of all of nature. And so the warrior is intent upon solving the puzzle of self, without self-importance but most humbly, knowing full well that all of nature is contained within.
To keep the self in constant spiritual awareness takes work. It is not enough to decide that certain times will be spiritual times. Such times offer the beginnings of a regular practice, but one should be a spiritual being all the time. To achieve this is challenging and yet it is the journey the spirit seeks.
Returning awareness constantly to the heart center returns awareness to the spiritual seeker within, to the spiritual warrior self who constantly nudges us to remember and asks us to practice our compassions, our kindnesses, our loving duties to self and other from this place of deep feeling and emotion all the time.
Remembering who we really are—spiritual beings on human journeys—provides a memory of our far greater purpose. It is time to remember and be who we truly are all the time. Choose to change the journey through life into a practicing spiritual journey by remembering who you truly are all the time. Let the practice begin!
A warrior learns to read the signs that come to guide, not wishfully or wanting the impossible but openly accepting the truths they spell out. Without personal agenda the warrior considers their advice, trusting their guidance, knowing that life is uncomfortable at times because it has to be. In the end, the warrior knows, more will be revealed and so a warrior takes every step with awareness, ready for what comes to teach and show the way to greater understanding, accepting the ups and downs of life with humbleness and grace. For a warrior knows that at a moment’s notice everything can change again.
A warrior takes nothing for granted. A warrior knows that at any moment things can change, that life is full of abrupt shifts. And so a warrior is always alert, striving not to control life but to flow with it. It is the warrior’s way to accept what comes but to master it as well, for life does not overwhelm a warrior nor does a warrior refuse it, but a warrior lives life with equal amounts of letting go and taking control. That is the warrior’s way.
