I don’t believe that a “Warrior of Light” has to be perfect.

I believe that a Warrior of Light is someone who wishes harm to no one ~ someone who makes mistakes and who goes through many trials and tribulations yet continues to hold the sword aloft and forge ahead for the greater good.

A Warrior of Light is not an Angel but a Human who tries their best to offer what they can to anyone in need, be it a kind word, a shoulder to lean on, arms to enfold, or hands to lift up…

Thank you, Paulo

Namaste
Billi

Is someone who can motivate his friends and collegues
to saying you did a great job.

estou aqui pensando como responder esta pergunta que sempre fez parte do meu cotidiano desde que conheci Paulo Coelho e me tornei uma Guerreira da Luz.De repente não encontro palavras para definir.Mas tentarei.
Talves Ser um Guerreiro da Luz seja uma Atitude de ir ao encontro de….usando todo conhecimento adquirido.Muita concentração no seu sonho sem fanatismo,muita confiança que será possível vencer as etapas ,ter consciencia que o Caminho é cheio de Surpresas e o Tempo muda a todo momento.Estar preeparado para as mudanças ,alcançar e ouvir o som do seu coração.Ir! Sempre ir sabendo que haverá perdas e ganhos,fracassos e vitórias mas sendo um Guerreiro voce sabe que alcançará no tempo certo o seu alvo,o seu sonho.Talves ser um Guerreiro da Luz é ir de encontra a própria Luz que é existir.Quando nascemos nossas mães “dão a luz”.Talves seja assim o nosso caminhar para a morte também:Lá estará a LUZ nos esperando.
Ainda continuo pensando …..isto não é tudo!è infinito…
obrigada pelo espaço e voilá!

A Warrior of the light is someone who follow the light within themselves, which is also part of all light, as it was created by God. It takes years and sometimes much darkness to be able to discern the light. You see, the light is always there and has always been there,but it is sometimes just hidden from our hearts, hidden so deep, that you have to go into battle to retrieve it. The warrior will protect light with all his might, because he needs light to be able to connect to all the light of God’s creation.

Warrior of the light actually their’s a lot’s of meaning about it, because you can be connected with someone without realization, for example faith, change your life in positive way, something bond between you him/she like friendship, soulmate or companion. Of course, you can not avoiding that something a bit of physical attraction possibly why not ??…you called that love game that is what you said, doesn’t matter in diffirent love is love. Second, it can also be reverse I mean both side because everyone of us, we have our individual sign or personal calling, that is true right Mr Coelho….Third, strong feelings about it, just like obssession or magic besides you performed magic, of course reading your books that makes sense to create reflection. I think, that’s very cleverness of you Mr Coelho you want to know everything, will you got it…Oh one more being the warrior of light understood that sometimes you are both not agree each other opinion…in my cases….hope we grow our friendship and connection to everyone and more blessings to come in the future…XXXX

il guerriero della Luce,penso sia colui che vive tutte le occasioni che la vita gli offre, con capacita’di rialzarsi tutte le volte che cade,con la gioa data dallo stupore,con la forza di combattere le ingiustizie,con la voglia di ascoltare altre storie,chi vive condividendo la gioia altrui e rendendo partecipi gli altri della propria.Un guerriero della luce è colui che accetta di poter sbagliare,che ama correggere il proprio tiro non per ricevere gloria dagli altri,quanto invece per rispetto verso se’ stesso.In questo modo il rispetto verso gli altri vien da se’.Buona giornata a tutti*

A warrior of light is someone who leads the others to self-realization and finally closer to God.

The light that is seen ……
has been fought for …and not against ….
The man… is cut …. by the light that is seen into flowers of immense expansion …..
where does the night … hide? .. when light makes peace with it.
When the war ends ..the warrior is born ….in peace and it is in him …that I stay’s ….shattered as never before :)

A brief question and answer so difficult. You have written a manual about it, I’ve never read it. I do not know your thoughts about it. I have read this blog and discovered a lot of answers which I support without reservation. What this phrase means to me? A warrior of light is a human. Nothing more and nothing less, a aware person. To be aware means to be in harmony with the inner and outer world for me. In the middle to be, not to be extreme. A warrior of light never starts a fight, but he ends. As the winner. Should he lose, it’s because he has the wrong fight at the wrong time.To learn from this is no disgrace. A warrior of light has heart, mind and character in line. Only when all these facets work together, it is the wisdom close. If in doubt, he follows the path of love, he is obligated. He helps the weak, he takes care of the lonely, he tries to help. The real struggle is inside, where lurk in the heart’s own demons. He introduces himself, full of fear, the fear is no disgrace. He overcomes the fear that he shows courage. This fight never ends. He is committed to the truth, especially towards himself. He is loyal to his friends and unyielding against his opponents. He falls no hasty judgments only after careful consideration, because a quick decision is often a prejudice and to overcome very difficult. He never judged about other people, because he knows everyone judges themselves.To learn from this is no disgrace. A warrior of light has heart, mind and character in line. Only when all these facets work together, it is the wisdom close. If in doubt, he follows the path of love, he is obligated. He helps the weak, he takes care of the lonely, he tries to help. The real struggle is inside. Because lurk in the depth of his heart his own demons. He is facing these demons, full of fear, the fear is no disgrace. He overcomes the fear that he shows courage. This fight never ends. He is committed to the truth, especially towards himself. He is loyal to his friends and unyielding against his opponents. He falls no hasty judgments only after careful consideration, because a quick decision is often a prejudice and to overcome very difficult. He never judged about other people, because he knows everyone judges themselves. He is the joy the fun and humor committed. Life is already serious. Has a warrior of light a teacher, so he follows him without conditions. But he should always think for himself. He does not ask for permission, because he is not a small child, but he respects a prohibition. But it’s never a disgrace older and wiser people to ask for advice. A warrior of light is able to take criticism. He does confess to his mistakes, but he does not take the faults of others upon himself, but he never refused his help. But he allows never abused by other people. A warrior of light has discipline and creativity. He needs to develop both by learning. Deals with science, literature, philosophy and religion. He respects the beliefs of other people even if it is not his. A warrior of light is also committed to his body. If he decides to do something then with his heart full. If it is not completely convinced of something he does not. A warrior of light has passion. Those are some of my thoughts on that concept. But I think the center is love. What is a warrior of light? A really difficult question.
A nice evening to all.

the light warrior is responsible for his life. He cannot save the world or change society but his great mission on earth is to understand himself, to make himself happy. The light warrior’s mission is to Live and fight for his life. The innevitably hi will make other happy.

Um guereiro da luz é alguém que diante de muitas batalhas da vida consegue ultrapassar e vencer. Alguém que acredita no seu ser, que faz as coisas acontecerem, que sabe ser e estar, que tudo que faz, fa-lo bem e com amor.

O guerreiro da luz é aquele que transmite paz que não vê dificuldade em ajudar o próximo e se acha recompesado por isso…guerreiro da luz ama pelo prazer de amar…não busca a igualdade mas ajuda na diferença, pois é muito mais difícil e recompensador dizer “Eu te amo” na diversidade do que na igualdade.

Raj Kapoor December 27, 2010 at 1:45 pm

while carrying it all …,
for all with purity
the crystal shine of my soul
in an effort to bring love
for each who look at me ,
for all who can shine
get up from dreaming dignity
waking up to shining integrity

A free spirit tamed only by thread of love
flying like a kite in sky above
a string in hand of a child’s delight
rising up high till I could , I would fly
I’m churning your hidden love
to brighten your way ,
I’ll keep doing till might
I’m warrior of light

A warrior of the light is one who knows that he needs no weapons in any fight. A warrior of the light is one who knows he needs no armour and no shield, because what he carries inside cannot be harmed, and cannot be killed, and cannot be hurt or taken away. A warrior of light is one who, by merely smiling, can make others drop their weapons and their armour. A warrior of light is one in whose world there is no war only love.

I have seen the meaning of the warrior of Light… Been there…
It has been an unforgettable experience in the Olympic Game of Life…
We all have to pass through this procedure, in order to Unite the Cosmos’s conciousness to the higher level…
Take a glimpse at my thoughts at my.opera.com/Elpakis.
Pass the flame, Pass the Light,
Enlight the World, in order to UNITE…
All come from ONE, and all COME to ONE…
Perfection of the Excistence…

For me the Warrior of the Light stands alone in the middle of his friens. He enjoys their closeness and he learns from them. He learns from his enemies. He fights the fights necessary, the ones he chooses to fight. He is not a victim, cos even when loosing he will learn and gain something from it. He loves and trys to live his life with love. Honest person, trying to reach a more pure state inside and does not want to cause suffering or humiliation to others. He looks at his flaws and strenghts and tries to better himself.

I know the warrior of light has to accept the good as well as the bad things in their life as Paulo says don’tthink life has treated you bad and that you don;t deserve the good and bad things that happen to you.However,if everyone thinks like a warrior of light then its fine but those who don’t then I need to know where is the justice?People like me and others i know give and give to make people happy but then there’s others who just don’t care that we have risked our own personal happiness for them as long as they r ok and continue to live in their own selfish world where nothing matters but them?!how long must a warrior suffer for?Just where is the justice of the warriors broken dream?

You have ur personal legend, i am not suggesting for u to be selfish, but i dont think the way of the warrior of light is to blame others for not giving them back what they give themselves.. As human as it is to feel disapointed with people in our lives sometimes; we dont love them to recieve love in return, and we dont help them so that they owe us. Maybe there is simply a lesson for you to learn in this, and untill u learn it u have to risk ur happiness in such a way. Maybe ur dream is not broken, maybe it simply waits for u to return to it and stop questioning why others dont react the way u expect/want them to. Remember; you choose ur fights.

Warrior of the lights is me many times, and i think it is all people who are mature, enthusiastic, clear, believers, ambitious, like to understand themselves, others, and the world. All of us may have some mistakes and weaknesses, but this doesn’t prevent us from seeking the good and the best.
