Show Notes

DEFINITION of SPIRITUAL WARFARE: There is a battle between light and dark raging. In every hero's journey, in every culture's mythology, and within our own psychology we can see this battle reflected. We can think of it as the angel and devil on your shoulder. Following your negative ego or following the train of love. Which do you choose?

MAIN POINTS:

• The "Dark Side" within us can be seen as any negative thought loops, depression, anxiety, self-hatred, hatred in general, all spawned from the ego.
• "The Dark Side" wants to separate us from Love/God (which is where our power lies) and to feed off our energies, siphoning our spiritual auric energy field.
• Also, when you are engaged in negative thought loops, you can't be a good partner/mother/human or get on with your mission.
• This battle is reflected in each person's psychology and reflected also in the macrocosm (world events).
• A "war on consciousness" is happening on Earth.
• All mythology (from all cultures on the Earth) reflects the Hero's Journey: a battle between a protagonist and an evil force (see book below)

• Also this play between "positive" and "negative" is inherent in the negatively and positively charged particles (protons & electrons) that are the building blocks of matter.
• The importance of polarity integration and the "neutral compassionate witness".
• Check out this shielding meditation, to protect yourself in a world of forces.
• Spiritual warfare can be most destructive in our close personal relationships.
• You can think of internal spiritual warfare as two wolves on your shoulder...a white wolf and a black wolf...which wolf are you going to feed? The one you feed gets stronger and will thrive.
• Where are we not able to "be love" in our lives? These are the places we need to work on.
• Break down your "story". Amber was able to do this through attending Landmark Forum. She explains some of the secrets she learned there.

• ​The power of mantra: Fight negative mind loops with positive mantras, such as "I choose love in all my thoughts and actions"

CHALLENGE/INVITATION: Next time you are fighting with your friend or spouse, ask yourself, "Is this my ego or love talking. Is this argument worth representing the darkness for? What am I representing?
