Wow, thank you so much - though I suspect it’s much less the story-teller and much more the story. These times belong to those spirits who are connected to the ‘warrior and building cultures’ of the middle-ages. You are no doubt hearing a story you’re connected to (really, the average reaction is not ‘you’re telling a great story’ but boredom, wondering what all the fuss is about, and picking the thing apart based on academic ‘standards’).

Yes indeed. I find that ‘average response’ to be completely incomprehensible. Then again, I’ve always known myself to be a warrior and an artist so I trust what you’re saying. I feel a definite connection to this story so I hope I’m able to do what I need to do in this time we’re in - ask the question and take my place in the ceremony. Thank you again for taking the time and effort to share this.

That is everything (that you know yourself to be a warrior and an artist - (and if you can build the bridge between the two, the ‘builder’ emerges as a result)). Of all the tumult and societal upheavals I’ve witnessed in my life - and I’ve had my share - only the artists I’ve known have been able to hold their own and continue to progress. The warriors, by contrast, have a hell of time in today’s day and age. All, but all, the demons HATE the warrior - as I’m sure you’ve experienced. When you include the fact that almost no human destiny or karma includes physical fighting or going to war - it often has the worst effect on the warrior - he turns his strength into poison rather than use it for building or art. After all - why build for those who hate you? And those that don’t hate you enslave you with money - inevitably ‘obtained’ dishonorably compared to the work you do. And art? Well, that’s the worst fate when it comes to ‘meeting the world’ with it - that’s worse than the warrior’s or builder’s fate because of how personal the attacks are.

Obviously, were plunged into a new dark age, but on the bright side - a new form of ‘heroic power’ is destined to emerge out of this - but! It has to come from building the bridge - from the “knight of the sword, becoming the knight of the Word” - this power will only come from the warriors - there is no one to compete with in obtaining the new power - the only obstacle is the work it takes to build the bridge. This is crucial to stick to - the demons and the vast multitude of their human minions want nothing more than to turn your strength into poison - through fear, anger, and hatred.
