The energies of this path walk are not just for battle and conflict.

As a male the feminine side is what touches me when I see another member of the group being wronged and compels me to step forward and try to stop or correct the situation. It is the female side of the energy that shows me the wrongs when I see some young guy wolf whistle as a woman or make lude suggestions and allow me to relate it from her position. It is the male side that pushes me forward to ripe their arse apart and bust their chops.

It is the female energies that allowed me as a male to understand the anger, fright and frustration when a young sailor rode home with me and started crying cause she was scared she was going to be forced to do something for a senior petty officer. Through knowing her fear and position I was able to shut it down immediately and straightened that Senior Petty Officer out. Not only straighten out but checked with every female in the division to see if he had done to them as well.

It is through feeling the female nurturing side of it that one sees a bit of humanity in all our opponents and think of what they maybe forced to do because of who is in charge. It is the female energy that allowed me specifically to empathize with the woman that served beneath me and tried my damnedest to see they were treated with equality and respect.

It was utilization of the nurturing facet of it that made all my troops know I would stand by them and stick up for them. That they new they could come to me and I would not judge or condemn without proof. Even in judgement I would be equal and uniform in what one received in comparison to another that did the same thing.

It was the nurturing side that made me stop in the middle of the freeway and hold an old ladies hand as she lay trapped in a crumpled car and provide comfort and a Little bit of first aid. Yes the male energy gave me the strength to take the first step and the female facet the ability to comfort and console.

Those same nurturing influences manifest in my interaction as a Scout Leader, Sports coach, counselor and manager when I retired from the military. Yes they influences me in those other endeavors but I would not claim I was any of them cause a part of my usage of energy enabled me or inspired me to certain heights.

Boy as I look back over this and read the entries that have occurred since my last post I am propelled back in time to my teachings from long ago. As I read Cinn's latest I hear the words of the abomination and the creation of the splintered self and the deep dangers of such. No I am not saying Cinn's word are such only that they make me recall those lessons from long ago, specifically the late 60's into the early to mid 70's.

To my teacher's one had but a single self and no other visible or separate agents that might arise. Self was self and anything and everything else were simple facets of that greater spirit. In obtaining balance and harmony with and within it one had to become a part of the one. Never ever would they be told they hold a part called the Warrior, a part called the Contrary, a part called the healer, etc. To even refer to such a notion was to split the spirit of self and create an in balance. I suppose in ways the outward notion of the 60's with the concept of the "Good American inside each Vietnamese person just waiting to get out" was the manifestation of that destructive slant. Perhaps even back to the notion that one could force out the truth of self and mask it in an attempt to force a new sense of Spirit in its place.

Unto or into each of us is breathed but a single flame of Spirit. A flame that is given all the facets of mankind, yet only meant to focus upon a singular facet as a primary life path and path walk. It is this singular facet that we always return to over and over regardless of which trail we may wander upon. It is the facet of Spirit of Self that serves our greatest need in this incarnation of the great soul journey called life. It is the persona of what we live and how we live our lives. Some will become the teacher and hold knowledge and the breathe to weld it. Some will become the Healer and hold the energy of touch and calming in their hands. Some will become the visionary and shall hold the energy of sight and vision and see the change upon the horizon. Yet the main truth is that all shall walk the primary course of their life calling and Spirit purpose.

For my self I think it apparent my calling was that of the Warrior. A Warrior to function in the physical and the Spiritual facet of my life calling. It is the facet that colors all notions and concepts of reality for me and is the greatest source of inspiration for all I undertake or do. It is upon the balance of male and female presence within it that I come and came to know the boundaries or my realities and the edge of the veil part where my path walk shall carry me to in the intervention of years and time. Yes, even the path walk that calls for me to be in constant conflict with the theology or purpose of others as they walk their path walk. Not only others but even some that are upon the same path walk I walk upon in how they choose to honor and observe it versus how I do so and am taught through Spirit's guidance.

Yet, my Spirit self is aware of the facets of the Poet, the Healer, The Contrary, The Teacher and the many other callings that mankind may walk in. Yet the greatest danger is the assumption or creation of the notion of a Spiritual facet that rises or is independent of the core self of Spirit. Every time a new facet or angle is identified or created in my teachings it was to unbalance and divide the notion of self and it's awareness of and to a degree it's dependency upon the strength of the whole. It would be like creating multiple personalities that desired their own presence, even unto the expense of the whole with the part holding greater importance than the whole which it supported and encompassed. To give it name and form was the greatest of abominations to my teachers.

Every time one claimed they had a "Spirit Warrior" or "Spirit Healer" or another facet that denied the truth of their inner self it was wrong and destructive. Yes we as humans are aligned to receive insight and inspiration from within but are provided the ability to touch and be inspired by energies that reside outside of self to motivate or stimulate the lesser facet of self. Lesser only to the extent that is was not our primary purpose or position in this life walk. We could call upon and use in a base manner those energies, but they never made us a member who walked that pathway.

Perhaps that is part of the old guard teachings Cinn referred to in her post, I really do not know for sure. But for me all the talk and notion of the warrior self is derived from the strengthened self and is either ones direct life path and calling or it is a part of the Spiritual Self that is stimulated to utilize the energies of that facet for that moment in time. To lay claim to the name and path walk to me is the absolute debasement for it lessens and cheapens what one is allotted by Spirit to encounter on this journey.

To see the notion of a shattered self that is constructed in manner of many pieces vice a strengthened and balanced whole is equally destructive to me. Yes, and even an abomination to those early lessons and influences of creating oneness of self and strength of the whole. I suppose not only an abomination but cause for the creation of multiple selves and a weakened whole or a fractured Self that vies for dominance vice a balanced and dominate whole that uses all facets of the Spirit of Self.

Either way it is apparent to me that I shall not understand or relate to the split self notion I see presented here so it is best I simply step away from this discussion.
