Walking burns calories. Walking your high talk burns your impurities. Then be not a bypassing hypocrite on the path. What is this spiritual warrior that they speak of? Someone who lashes out at others to validate themselves? Or someone who turns inward and slashes their own weeds? Don't be a bullshit warrior making a show of your spirits. March over your conditioning and destroy your illusions. It's not a stage act — it's the dismantling of your stage. _#QuickDrops #WalkYourTalk #InnerWarrior #ConquerYourself #BehaviorIsProof #WarriorSpirit #IntoPurity #AnandaICU_ **Let's walk that talk again, shall we?** Your head full of philosophies and spiritualities and, come a convenient opportunity, yeah, you'll do a little bit of it — to feel philosophical, spiritual and all-enlightened. But most of the time you are defaulting to your routine habitual patterns. Your philosophy is nowhere to be found in your practical life and behavior. If we're actually talking about actuality, self-awareness, self-realization, all that, instead of mental models and plays in imagination, then actuality is consequential. "What is" is consequential when you acknowledge it, when you recognize it, when you own it up. You have to commit to it categorically in every aspect of your life. You cannot pick and choose — here I'll do a bit of this and then I'll just skip bypass, never mind. That will not get you into a place of clarity and peace. Someone asked the other day — what is this spiritual warrior? One of these people sporting on the internet, making a big show of defending a particular ideology. That is not a spiritual warrior — that's a bunch of bullshit. The warrior spirit is found when you, unyielding, determined, go forth in your life. Implement the principles you have embraced, through thick and thin, come what may. You are staunch, you have fortitude in standing up to your talk. You walk your talk, step by step, marching through your illusions, cutting it all with the sword of knowledge. Less preoccupied with cutting others in order to validate yourself, in order to secure your sensitive foundations. More preoccupied with cleansing, purging, refining your own being. Slashing out every last weed in your awareness, eliminating the distortions that convolute the path you are on. Straight on, unflinching through the bushes, through the jungles of your complexities and conditioning. Toward purity, toward clarity, toward insight. Into truth, into coherence, refining all that you are. Converging into the fullness of your potentials, integrated with existence as it is — without your subjective agendas, without distortion. You stand at the peak of your existence. As no-one. All of it happens — you witness, you observe, you remain in purity. That is the path of the warrior of spirit, of awareness, of consciousness, what have you. The path of purity. Walk your talk.
