Namaste. I want to share some knowledge with you first about the inner warrior and then give you a practice to help you recover and upgrade it.
First, we will contemplate the impact, rectification, renovation, and upgrading of your warrior. The second part explores the relationship between your three gunas —sattvaa, raja, and tama—and their control over your warrior.
1. Understanding the Spiritual Warrior
- The “warrior” refers to the inner force within your heart that protects your true self, distinguishes truth from untruth, and sets healthy boundaries—not out of ego or false privacy, but from the wisdom of the heart.
- This warrior is crucial for spiritual growth, protection, and authenticity.
What can you do to upgrade your warrior? What does that look like? So first, we need to review what your concept of a spiritual warrior. Within your heart, you have a flame, a fibre, an organ related to pioneers who were interested in boundaries, protecting the truth, and shaking off the obsolete to announce it, not just externally, but also internally. You have the ability to assess what is true and what is not true.
You have the natural capacity to recognize and implement your boundaries. Meaning to assess what and how much you give and how much you receive. I am talking about the boundaries you give to your heart.
Don’t be confused with a false sense of privacy that the ego likes to have. The false sense of privacy isolates you from belonging and sharing; it convinces you that you need a secret life, fuels a fear of social interaction, and creates a mask that is perpetually anxious about being discovered. I am talking about a natural knowing of your heart, a boundary that consciously knows “I give this and I accept this, or I don’t accept this and I don’t give that “. So, the warrior in your heart is the most valuable of all because it protects your higher self by offering information about boundaries and protection.
The spiritual warrior also offers a quality of deep importance: it keeps the ego at bay by not believing in its stories, the threat, the abuse, the victim, or the tyrant. The inner warrior is able to detect this illusion and, with confidence, present a containment for that part of us that presents us with threats, drama, and doubts.
Finally, the spiritual warrior encourages you to surrender, offering authentic and secure guidance to navigate the process of non-identification. As you may know, this process is not easy; it is terrifying to shade all definitions of what you feel you are, have, or know. Imagine that disappearing and not having a warrior who points towards your infinity with confidence. The warrior is fearless in accepting new realities and new ways of connecting with their nature, facilitating their survival through illumination.
The connection and empowerment of your inner warrior are much needed in times of transition and change. The quality of your warrior is of major importance. Now, let’s review the relation between your spiritual warrior and the 3 gunas or qualities of creation.
2. The Three Gunas and Types of Warriors
- Tamas (Inertia, Darkness): The tamasic warrior is stagnant, defeated, paralyzed by guilt and fear, and resigned to suffering and inaction. In Tamas, you don’t want any action. The warrior is stagnant and asleep. Tamas is deluded by guilt, fear, and the conviction of defeat.
The one that is immersed in the Tamas accepts defeat before any action; it partners with the belief system that whatever you do, it won’t be any change, whatever you do, it won’t be good, whatever you do, it will be assessed, and you’ll be guilty, misunderstood, or not accepted. It is paralyzed by its own judgments, and its courage gets diluted in stories, bitterness, and loliness.
- Rajas (Activity, Passion): The rajasic warrior is restless, always fighting—externally and internally. This leads to burnout, perpetual dissatisfaction, drama, and a lack of inner peace.
The warrior who embodies the quality of Raja is merely an activist. He wants to change things because, from his point of view, there is injustice; he wants change, movement, but with no practical method of implementation. It is fed by creating chaos and is friends with opinions, polarities, and dissatisfaction.
Nothing is good or enough; there is no partner that will make you happy and no money to fulfill you. It’s just a constant reaction in the mind.
I need to engage in a fight, which can be active —through voice, action —or introjected. An introjected raja warrior will create a false enemy inside. It can be a discontent with the body, where endless methods for body control are in place. The enemy can be the mind, the emotions, or any event where subtle judgments are at play.
The Raja warrior is in a continuous war. It becomes accustomed to that inner conflict, creating wars, and a perception and conviction that you always lose, as well as the fear of losing the battle.
Therefore, you’re always in your fight mode, giving no room for the nervous system to rest. So it burns you up.
The perpetuation of drama is the food for this type of warrior. You crave drama because you believe it is the warrior’s role, and you fear losing your warrior if you are not immersed in it. The drama of suffering, the drama of creating suffering, the drama of fixing all the time yourself.
You create an activist within you, and you establish rules that affirm the activist’s stance and encourage you to continue fighting.
- Sattva (Purity, Clarity): The sattvic warrior observes egoic patterns without fighting them, offering both truth and untruth to the higher self for transformation. This is the pure, devotional, and wise warrior.
And then there is the sattva warrior, the pure warrior, the one that has been purified and that is able to distinguish the conversations of the ego that say you’re no good, that say don’t act, to say be alone, that invites to create that inner secret self nobody can reach. The sattva warriors observe this type of conversation, noting the pull and push of the dynamics without taking a personal stance or identifying with a particular identity.
It doesn’t fight or create a revolution when you see the untruth. It just bathes itself in the devotion of the heart, in the core of the heart. And the warrior offers that truth and untruth to the higher self. The higher self, with its devotional alchemy, transforms it. You don’t trust that. You don’t trust that you can actually be loved.
You don’t trust simplicity. Take this day to upgrade the warrior. And all is defeated.
3. Upgrading Your Warrior
- Identify which guna your warrior is currently influenced by.
- Recognize misplaced strength (self-harm, guilt, or drama) and redirect it towards honest protection and loving boundaries.
- True spiritual strength is not about being “nice” or “neutral” all the time, but about authentic boundaries and devotion to truth.
There is the warrior, for example, who, in that frustration of not being able to protect their own heart, hurts themselves. Get the sword and the weapon and start hurting yourself. Physically, I’ve seen it. It tests endurance; the strength of the warrior is misplaced, and that strength is needed right now to accompany the heart in the shift to the new dimension. You need your warrior, but you need to understand the guna that that warrior is at.
And you need to purify your warrior. If you are sitting here with me today, most of you are of that conviction and force of being a warrior. Because you are interested in truth. You are interested in bringing harmony and boundaries from the world’s chaos into your heart. So get the right image of your warrior, because it’s a great inspiration, a great motivator and a great moving force for you. But if that force is misplaced, it’s wasted.
You cannot be weak and think that you cannot put boundaries at this moment because of what people say, because you are not capable, or because it’s not the timing. No. You cannot be nice in that regard.
You have to be truthful. Don’t hide your warrior with your sugar cane cake. You will be indignant inside.
So, of course, the healthy warrior expresses itself outside, offering a safe spiritual map for navigating life’s challenges, where you’re certain that you can handle anything that comes your way. With the antenna, you can see the flame of truth and falsehood. Without the warrior, you cannot be a pioneer.
And without being a pioneer, you cannot cross into the dimension that is being proposed now. The cosmos has great alignments with different entities, which I prefer to call warrior forces rather than planets.
Heat, the sun’s flares, warm up this unique quality that is in veneration. The cosmos worships that because it’s a great deal of trust deposited in the warrior. So define yourself.
What is the situation of your warrior? And what this moon is asking me to upgrade. You cannot be a nice person just because you’re spiritual. I mean, you can, but if you are 80% of the time on this persona, you are not paying attention to that corner of protection or lack thereof.
So your ego convinces you of positions, of defeats, of victicism, of tyranny, and mostly guilt. But because guilt is not a pure emotion, it’s an invented emotion of the ego. You cannot feel it unless you are catching, digging in the cookie jar.
But most of the time, this guilt runs in the back of your subconscious. That’s why you need to check how you accommodate in any role you have as a mother, as a lover, as a friend, or any other role. How do you accommodate? And in what areas are you not taking risks because of imaginary hurt?
The ego will say, Oh, any hurt will destroy you, and you will be just horrible. But the truth is, you always exist, and nothing can destroy you or cause you harm. What hurts you is your own concepts, your own definitions.
See how you were as a child. If you get hurt, like falling off a bike, you take the bike and, okay, it’s just a small boo-boo, and you continue. Or you just, oh my God, drama, mama, you know, the big cry and so on, right? That’s the raja, create drama so I can have a sense of life.
At this time, nothing ever hurts you except your own concepts of your own weakness, of your own guilt, of your own impotence, and that the wound flares a little bit for you so you can see it. So you need the warrior to keep walking. So in today’s practice, an entunement with this energy is very much directed to the heart.
