Our marriage triggers become marriage testers. The test of weariness and exhaustion makes or breaks us. If you feel this way, there is hope. We find help to go from triggered to triumphant with the Warrior’s Way.
Don Juan Matus in the Carlos Castaneda book series is our example. That’s a lot to aspire to, isn’t it? Nevertheless, don Juan doesn’t give us an “out” in times of weariness and exhaustion. When he was troubled, he complained like the rest of us, when he was younger, but the Nagual Julian taught him the Warrior’s Way. Once he learned and started to practice impeccability, he began to understand. When he suffered at the hands of the Nagual Julian, he kept the Warrior’s Way in mind. But, enough of that. Back to our relationships…
On our wedding days, we promised to love and cherish our spouses. In order to do that well, we can’t just pull ourselves up by our bootstraps when the going gets rough. Allowing impeccability and the Warrior’s Way to take over and assist us enables us to care for our spouses without constantly obsessing over ourselves.
Your burdens may feel anything but light today. The Spirit is not trying to make light of your circumstances. The Spirit wants you to see your circumstances through impeccability and the Warrior’s Way. We are not helpless or forgotten in our times of need. Don’t allow an hour to go by before taking your cares, concerns and complaints into the Warrior’s Way and examining them through that lens. Use impeccability for ego-busting, destroying personal history and eliminating self-importance. Because the Warrior’s Way is our ‘Daily Bread’, so to speak, and we become malnourished energetically if we neglect it. Spending time with the core teachings of the Warrior’s Way refreshes our spirit and strengthens us to face both our trials and our triggers.
If you feel triggered by the weariness and exhaustion of your circumstances, you won’t be able to combat your anger and frustration until you lay your burden down at the feet of the Warrior’s Way. Learn from Carlos and don Juan. Take note of how humble don Juan is. In the same way that our angry reactions typically spark even bigger angry reactions in our spouses, use don Juan’s humble spirit to rub off on us, producing a supernatural steadiness of heart and mind.
As we give our weariness to controlled folly, the Great Spirit’s gentleness becomes our gentleness. Soon, humility is reflected in our own actions. As we grow in character, exhaustion gives way to strength upon strength, equipping us with the ability to overcome the temptation to lash out in frustration.
The husband and wife who are followers of the Warrior’s Way never have to operate on empty or be quick to anger. We are promised the fruit of supernatural strength and given an example in the person of don Juan Matus. Who else do you know who is impeccable? Emulate them if you don’t care to use a fictional book character.
The heart filled with impeccable character has very little room for angry reactions. Let’s accept the invitation to “come” to the Warrior’s Way and find rest for our souls by demonstrating gentleness and humility in our marriages as trust in our path with heart.
Let’s Meditate: Give us a desire to put our husband or wife’s needs before our own. As we pour out selfishness and negativity, let us be filled supernaturally with powerful energy from the Great Spirit. Let us love one another deeply, letting go of anger and resentment.
Let me be quiet now.
Warrior of Lite
