The Edge and the Warrior

This article is by Janaki Severy and reprinted with her permission.

The edge is the place we must go to in order to allow ourselves to fully express being present and to be able to sense every data point in our body, mind and, spirit and the body-mind of the universe. The edge is the vortex of universal knowledge. It cannot be described nor can it be seen. It is felt and through the feeling when at the edge the breath of human consciousness becomes intertwined with eternal knowing. It is pure, vital and alive. At the edge, there is awareness and presence that calls us to become our most sharp and vital. We are alert with a vibration that resonates in the non-linear world and the world of the Quantum. We are pure energy and limitless. It is here that the heart of the warrior resides.

The edge keeps the consciousness of the warrior and aligns that consciousness with eternal greatness and power. The warrior understands and transmutes the energy of the edge. It is here that the warrior integrates awakened energy and sensitivity. Life as a warrior is a commitment to being fully alive. It necessitates an exploration of unclear pathways and uncharted land. This energy brings forth a sensory capability to understand “that which is”, on a non-linear plane.

A warrior can smell lifetimes of information in the breeze, telling tales of nature and times past. The warrior lives with nature and the rhythm of energy through breath, stealth, power, rest and alignment with natural forces. It is earth energy that moves inside them. They master the stillness of the tornado’s eye in order to watch and know where they are needed next. The warrior moves to an underlying rhythm heard by the trees and the rivers and creatures on land and sea. The warrior becomes them, a shape-shifter of all seasons.

The warrior has no patience for fear or beliefs that limit. Warriors seek to champion truth and demand personal mastery. They live with the Mind of Spirit, as their teacher. Warriors use time as their carriage, living in all time and governed by no rules.
