Let's Become Spiritual Warriors - Unstoppable & Unwavering

I recently caught a term that is guiding me through this next stage of my unfolding: "Spiritual Warrior". As Spiritual Warriors, we learn to overcome ourselves over and over again, thus becoming unstoppable as we move toward our visions, goals, and intentions.

Join me in a series of standalone explorations of what it means to learn to walk the way of the Spiritual Warrior and become unstoppable.

Blessings and welcome back to the way of the spiritual warrior where we get to learn to be unstoppable, Unwavering in midwifing the most beautiful life that we want to live, In allowing for that big and mighty dream or vision that we may have to come into fruition in us and through us. My name is Daniel Ruqueo and as always I'm deeply grateful and honored that I get to walk this path, That we get to do this exploring together. So thank you so much for being here, Thank you so much for tuning in as always. So we are exploring some of the definitions that lay the foundation for what this is all about. The title is The Way of the Spiritual Warrior. The subtitle is Learn to Become Unstoppable. And for the purpose of the rest of the journey we need to define what this means so that we have a clear idea of what it is that we are doing. We are absolutely walking into this blindfolded in the sense that we have no idea where this will lead us, Who we will become, But to have a sense of a direction and what this may require of us. We're gonna break down each word of the title and the subtitle so that we have a pretty clear idea of what is being asked of us and the work that lies ahead. So once again the title is The Way of the Spiritual Warrior. And let's begin with the first section of that title. The way. And this implies that what we are about to learn here in this course, It is a way, It is a formula, A roadmap. As we walk this way, Incrementally, Sometimes suddenly, With quantum leaps, And sometimes it may feel as though nothing is happening, As we're making no progress at all. But as we continue to move along this way of the Spiritual Warrior, Ultimately we will become unstoppable. I say ultimately, Absolutely knowing that there is no end destination. There's no final arrival. We will not one day wake up and say, Hey, I'm here! I have arrived! But as we are all emanations of a benevolent loving presence that is eternally seeking to express more of itself, There's always that next level for us to go to. Meaning whenever we get to wherever we thought we wanted to go, That's only the beginning stage of the next level. There's always that next iteration of us seeking to emerge, Right? But this way allows us to cultivate a way of life where we continuously go to the next and the next and the next and the next level with increasing and ever-expanding ease and grace. Because the more we cultivate a way of life that supports the unfolding, Facilitates the evolution of our souls, The easier the transition from one level to the other will be. Because we've developed a habitual way of life that supports continuous, Eternal evolution, Growth, Expansion, Unfolding. So this is a way of life that we are beginning to cultivate. So there's the way, And then the next section is of the spiritual warrior. A warrior is someone who conquers, Right? Traditionally, A warrior conquers its enemies on the battlefield. A long time ago, It was sticks and slingshots, And then came perhaps bows and arrows and swords. And to me, A warrior is like a samurai. But in this context, A warrior is one who conquers themselves. We've said it over and over and over again, That the only limitations we ever have, The only thing that is ever stopping us from going wherever we want to go, Or achieving whatever we want to achieve, Or bringing into manifestation whatever we want to bring into manifestation, Is us. Our habits. The small and limited beliefs and perceptions and ideas and stories that we hold on to, That we buy into. Right? So, The warrior in this context is someone who conquers themselves. And then the spiritual warrior is obviously an individual that is conquering themselves standing on a spiritual foundation. Briefly, A spiritual foundation is a sense of oneness. Is the recognition that there's one benevolent loving presence. We can call it whatever we want to call it. We can call it God, We can call it Spirit, We can call it the Universe, We can call it the Unified Field, We can call it the Matrix, We can call it whatever. There's one presence. That is all there is. And everything in creation is unique, Perfect, Whole, Complete emanation of the One. And there are actually three principles. The God is all there is. The God is benevolent. And the God is always expressing itself perfectly. So leaning on these spiritual principles, The way becomes this beautiful adventure and whatever comes before us along the way is not an obstacle, It is not a problem, It is not the world doing something to us, It is merely an invitation for us to shed something, To release and let go of something that we may graduate to the next level. When we have the spiritual foundation, Everything becomes a gift and a blessing along this path. So the spiritual warrior is someone who is deep in the awareness that there is but one and that we're all emanations of the one and who is set on conquering themselves. And then we have the subtitle, Which is Learn to Become Unstoppable. So we have learned to become, Meaning that this is a way of life that anyone can learn. It's a set of skills just like anyone can learn how to play golf and be really really good at playing golf just like anyone can learn how to sing just like anyone can learn how to succeed in business just like anyone can learn how to be fit and enjoy great health The way of the spiritual warrior is learnable. And that it is learnable implies that we have a choice. This is something that any one of us can choose. It doesn't matter who we are or when we are or what we look like. It doesn't matter where we come from. It doesn't matter what we've done in the past, What we didn't do, The mistakes that we made, The successes that we had. None of that matters. The moment we make the conscious choice to learn the way of the spiritual warrior, We are on the path of becoming that spiritual warrior. Learning means that we will fall? Just like any toddler who's learning to walk falls, And they get up, Right? So will we. We will fall. We will fall short of our own expectations. We will fall short of perhaps others' expectations. But when we fall, We realize that we just fell. This is not a personal flaw. This is not a sign that this is not for us. Well, Maybe it is a sign that this is not for us. Maybe we're not ready. Maybe we're not yet done with who we used to be. Maybe we're not yet ready to make that evolutionary leap that this is all about. But it is still learnable. The world. When we choose it, We are entering the way of the spiritual warrior. The moment we say, Yes, This is for me. I'm going to walk this way. I'm going to learn this way. In that moment, We are becoming spiritual warriors. The flip side of that is that unless we choose it, It's not gonna happen. Just like, Unless we choose to perfect our tennis game, Or our skills at the poker table, Or skills in learning a language, Or speaking any language. Unless we make the choice of doing it, And doing it over and over and over again, It doesn't happen. So we need to make the conscious choice. And if we don't, Well, That's perfectly fine, Obviously. This is for those of us who want to consciously participate in the unfolding of who and what we are, Right? So it is learnable but we need to make the choice. And then the last part of the subtitle is Become Unstoppable. I went with my son to the gym a few weeks ago, And this is one of those traditional gyms with all these weights and stuff. And along all of the walls, The owner of the gym had put different inspirational quotes. They were all beautiful and very powerful, But there was especially one that stood out. I have actually adopted this in my own life as a guiding light as to how I want to show up in life. What he said was, I don't quit when I'm tired, I quit when I'm done. I have since tweaked it a little bit into this. I don't quit when I feel like it, I quit when I am done. When we adopt this way of living, When we find a way to separate ourselves from that egoic voice that perhaps is telling us all the reasons why we shouldn't go out and exercise today, Why we should spend our time scrolling through social media or binge watch that Netflix series or whatever. When we step up and learn to cultivate the art of discipline and when we learn to lead our minds, We become unstoppable. When we stop paying attention to the surface appearance of things, And pay more attention to our visions, To our dreams, To our goals, To our missions, We become unstoppable. We become unwavering. We may, We may not become a successful person in the eyes of the world. That's not the point. I actually and this is a little sidetrack but last summer this past summer i was in a space where i didn't feel inspired or compelled to creating content i wanted to be a no one and i still want to be a no one I'm not seeking fame. I'm not seeking recognition. I don't want to be chased through any airport by fanatic fans. I don't want to be going out and people coming up to me asking for my autograph. I don't want any of that. None of that. But I was sitting on the grass and I was watching this bumblebee going from flower to flower to flower. And I just had this realization that I want to be like that bumblebee, Making a huge impact. If it wasn't for bumblebees and bees and all those pollinators, We wouldn't exist. They do not seek fame, They do not seek recognition, They do not seek anything, And yet they are having such a powerful impact on the world, Right? So, We may be successful in the eyes of the world, We may not be, That's not the point. The point is that we give ourselves permission to be unstoppable. We give ourselves permission to let nothing outside of us and inside of us stop us from continuously growing, Unfolding, Expanding. So we don't quit when we feel like it. We quit when we are done. This is the way of the spiritual warrior. I'm so happy for me that i get to record that i get to record this because this will be life transformative when we are done i will not by a long shot be anything near who i am today And so before we close, The invitation for us is to become aware as you went through this session, What is coming up for you? Do you feel inspired? Do you feel fear? Or do you experience a sense of being overwhelmed? A sense of, I can't do this. Just paying attention, Just becoming aware, Allows us to be prepared as we're moving forward. And the question to ask on a scale from 1 to 10. How much do you want to get started on walking this path? On a scale from 1 to 10, Where 1 is not at all. I'm quitting it right now. And 10 is, Whoa, Let's go, Let's go, Let's go! I wanna go now! So on a scale from 1 to 10, How inspired do you feel right now? Thank you so, So much. As always, I bless, Bless, Bless our days and I bless, Bless, Bless our ways with much love and many blessings. Namaste.
