Warrior of the Light- a manual pdfdrive com

 
T
he Breviary of Medieval Knights says:
“The spiritual energy of the Path uses justice and patience to prepare your spirit.
“This is the Path of the Knight: A path that is at once easy and difficult, because
it forces one to set aside trivial things and chance friendships. That is why, at
first, many hesitate to follow it.
“This is the first teaching of the Knights: You will erase everything you had
written in the book of your life up until now: restlessness, uncertainty, lies. And
in the place of all this you will write the word 
courage
. By beginning the journey
with that word and continuing with faith in God, you will arrive wherever you
need to arrive.”

W
hen the moment for combat approaches, the Warrior of the Light is prepared
for all eventualities.
He analyses every strategy and asks: “What would I do if I had to fight myself?”
He thus discovers his weak points.
At that moment, his opponent approaches; he comes with a bag full of promises,
treaties, and negotiations. He has tempting proposals and easy alternatives.
The Warrior analyses each of the proposals; he also seeks agreement, but
without ever losing his dignity. If he avoids combat, it will not be because he
was seduced, but because he judged it to be the best strategy.
A Warrior of the Light does not accept gifts from his enemy.

I
repeat:
You can recognize a Warrior of the Light by the look in his eye. Warriors of the
Light are in the world, they form part of the world, and they were sent into the
world without saddlebags or sandals. They are often cowardly. They do not
always act correctly.
Warriors of the Light are wounded by the most foolish things, they worry about
trivialities, they believe themselves incapable of growing. Warriors of the Light
sometimes believe themselves unworthy of any blessing or miracle.
Warriors of the Light often ask themselves what they are doing here. Often they
find their lives meaningless.
That is why they are Warriors of the Light. Because they fail. Because they ask
questions. Because they keep looking for a meaning. And, in the end, they will
find it.
