We Must Be Warriors

Gilda Cordero-Fernando wrote from the Phillippines today that though she is a senior woman she prefers the company of young people, in part because she finds them smarter, bigger, handsomer specimens than ever before and less fearful of breaking boundaries set by past generations. She believes there are those among them who could slay the dragons that besiege us within and without?

She believes the shadow self, the feared, unclaimed self, is our dragon within and that of other people. Since June of 2007, spiritual warriors, age 22 to 40, have been manifesting one by one in her life. She believes they are descended from the native Babylon of pre-colonial Philippines who were suppressed by the Spanish friars and driven underground.

We all must be strong, unafraid to embrace life and we must be warriors – not fighters, but vigilant in moving towards our goals.
