Warrior of the Light- a manual pdfdrive com

 
A
Warrior knows that an angel and a devil are both competing for his sword
hand.
The devil says: “You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are
afraid.” The angel says: “You will weaken. You will not know exactly when.
You are afraid.”
The Warrior is surprised. Both the angel and the devil have said the same thing.
The devil continues: “Let me help you.” And the angel says: “I will help you.”
At that moment, the Warrior understands the difference. The words may be the
same, but these two allies are completely different.
And he chooses the angel’s hand.

W
henever the Warrior draws his sword, he uses it.
It can be used to clear a path, to help someone, to fend off danger, but a sword is
a capricious thing and does not like to see its blade exposed for no reason.
That is why the Warrior never makes threats. He can attack, defend himself or
flee; all of these attitudes form part of combat. It is not, however, part of combat
to diminish the force of a blow by talking about it.
A Warrior of the Light is always alert to the movements of his sword. But he
never forgets that the sword is watching his every move as well.
The sword was not made to be used by the mouth.

S
ometimes Evil pursues the Warrior of the Light, and when it does, he calmly
invites it into his tent.
He asks Evil: “Do you want to hurt me or use me to hurt others?”
Evil pretends not to hear. It says that it knows of the darkness in the Warrior’s
soul. It touches wounds that have not yet healed and calls for vengeance. It
mentions certain tricks and subtle poisons that will help him to destroy his
enemies.
The Warrior of the Light listens. If conversation lags, he encourages Evil to
continue talking by asking all about its various plans.
When he has heard everything, he gets up and leaves. Evil feels so weary and
empty after all this talk that it does not have the strength to follow him.
