Path of the Spiritual Warrior
Day 1 – A Context and a Path
The context: a Modern, Socio-Economic, World War Three with its own weapons, massacres, its own wounded, prisoners and slaves, its own destruction and its own threats to collective Survival – even without real mass-destruction weaponry. The “Army of Darkness” of Materialism, Unrestrained Capitalism, and economic, technical, Imperialism. Weapons of propaganda (such as neuromarketing and selective attention manipulation), manipulation through selective information, fear and presentation of pseudo-solutions, vaccination, sensory bombardment, manipulation through communication ways. The state of the World and what can or could be.
The Path of Modern Spiritual Warriors. Who and what are they. Arts of Spiritual War and their difference. The training of Spiritual
warriors: finding their grounds and establishing solidity and grounding; hara, spiritual identity and fearlessness; deep self-esteem and values; will power
and focus; asserting what aim we have instead of fighting against what we deny; changing levels: who are you?
Day 2 – Archetypal Work and Deep Self-Knowledge
Archetypes and Superheroes: from the mundane self-identity to the secret, super-hero identity of the Soul. Archetypal work: dealing with subpersonalities as modalities of being (prince or king, princess or queen, witch, robber, prostitute, saint, child, warrior, jester…). Building inner freedom; finding and building the inner super-hero. Divine gifts and weapons. Intuitive choices. Self-scanning and knowing the energies: an appetizer for Psychic Defence.
Day 3 – Psychic Defense
Psychic Defense: diagnostic and modalities of psychic perils and attacks: witchcraft, evil eye, ghosts, “infected environments” and self-generated dangers; psychic defense and spiritual protection. Modalities of protection: from talismans to pentacles; from incense to walls of light; from distraction to deep centering. Why some protections are not enough. Ways for protection according to esoteric teaching. Kissing demons as a way for killing them. the Diamond Prayer work.
