The Balancing Act šŸ‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

How’s it going, warriors? I bring you a young Jim Hellwig in his early bodybuilding years today, but what a balancing act he had trying to figure it all out for his future back then. No black-and-white photo from me in a few years~~~ not counting a banner I used last year near Halloween actually. Warrior certainly was walking that metaphorical tight rope between career choices but we all have those moments right? It doesn’t even have to be quite in that way as my followers know me by now. My journey would be more like having 1 foot in Spirit and 1 on Earth and it can be a challenge balancing it all every day. All of us realistically are this way whether you truly identify with that concept or not. Most of us don’t need to work that scale of balance between fame and a personal life, but we all have other ideas that will tug on our rope.

Here’s a few thoughts of mine that I think you totally can relate with every day, all day. How about these? Who we are on the surface versus who we truly want to be, things we know versus what we share or even don’t share, and even work versus play. We somehow balance them little by little, even though nothing will ever be perfect or even on both sides. That’s just life and we need to believe we are doing the best we can. To circle back to Warrior for a minute, all you skeptics still doubting the spiritual aspect with him~~~ just look up info on your own. His ā€œDestrucityā€ principles? His first comic book topic? Yep, it’s all there in those and a few other works he put out as it wasn’t just his wrestling career of UW.

None of us has the full proof plan for how to have all our ducks in a row šŸ¦†šŸ¦†šŸ¦†, and it may never happen or at least not happen the way we would like. Life is not a straight line, it’s full of curves and detours. ć€°ļøāž° Let’s always remember what Warrior spoke often and that is once again how it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. Yes, we all are heading somewhere but need the experiences and adventures to make it a great life. Some days we seem to have it all together and everything is even keel but then other days~~~ not so much as is life readers. Nobody has the answers and we don’t get them many times but we keep going because we are warriors and that’s what we do.

I’ll take this another way with me regarding balancing and maybe some of you can connect a little. In mentioning the photo today and the next few weeks, I did some research but had to balance my time that afternoon. I wanted a new pics and without seeing some I could use on FB or my collection, I went to Instagram which I had not in a while. I follow a few pages, but haven’t scrolled back through photos of him over the years. There are 3 groups I had seen and 1 didn’t take that long, but the other 2, oh my… 😬 Once I started, I had to finish~~~ you know what I mean? Time just flew by and I will not say how long but it did take over an hour! The scale was tipped with time that day.

As a parent, my life is a constant balancing act~~~ even with these young adult children. It just takes on a new form with them navigating their way through a different chapter once childhood dissipated. With all of us, life is always evolving, shifting, growing, and changing until we leave this planet~~~ even though it may not feel like it. What do you personally feel the need to balance day by day? It may change overtime or remain the same for a bit. How I like to approach it is to truly prioritize what actually needs to get done versus what isn’t necessarily as important. Always make time for those wants too but schedule your activities wisely. I do realize like my IG scrolling how time gets away from us but try to truly commit to a set block and stick to it. Give yourself 10 minutes to meditate (like me…) or 30 minutes to go for a walk, it doesn’t matter. I’m not talking about time spent at a paying job but those other interests we need to have in our lives. Warrior spent time working out, painting, and writing… āœšŸ»

Don’t beat yourself up for spending more than enough on something that fills your soul because quite possibly, you were meant to do that. Not everything has to be super scheduled around every minute of our free time. Even if you need a nap, take it without guilt. As a wrestler, Warrior’s routine was very set in place with little time to just be. He tried to carve out some here and there when he’d be alone away from possibly partying or hanging with the guys. We can’t be in 2 places at once doing it all. Yet another reason I would never split holidays. That’s just me though… Some would split let’s say Christmas Day between 2 homes, but how very stressful… If it has to be done OK, but I am grateful it did not and still does not with my family.

Well, warriors~~~ is your scale tipped more to one side than the other today or will it be? Just accept that and begin again tomorrow. You might be in the circus act walking a tight rope or even like a pro wrestler balancing on that top rope *BUT* we always figure it out on the way down. Decide what really matters to you and leave the rest on the arena floor. We will always have things that need our attention in life but we also need to follow those things that want our attention~~~ big difference. I hope you know this. A young bodybuilder had to do just that when starting out on the road to success and we do too, just in the way that works for us. Warrior’s fitness always remained with him as part of his balancing act while other passions faded away. It just might be the same for an area in your life as I know for sure it is with mine. Lighten your load by moving some to the other side of the scale if you can. Work out those compromises and see if it makes a difference.

Your balancing act will always be part of your life. Will you balance, fall, or just walk away? Your choice warriors. If you fall, just don’t submit. Break out of that hold and start again.

*** I’ll be here next week for the end of October!!! Halloween is coming. Get out your šŸŽ­ masks and face paint. šŸŽØ

P.S. BTW to any of you Warrior fans ever wondering this concerning ā€œ Destrucity.ā€ YES… it did totally connect to Buddhism as I thought possibly many posts ago. Not sure if Warrior was ever asked that in any formal interview but believe me on this, it *DOES* relate. I have an ā€œinside scoopā€ that is very accurate as a source so I can’t fully reveal how I know. It’s so great to finally get that answered… šŸ’™šŸ’ŖšŸ»šŸ™šŸ»

The Galaxy of Self šŸ‘‹

I am getting back to Warrior’s comics today and that photo shows him going to a signing as a new thought came to mind. I will preface with this… There’s STILL daily views on my ā€œ Disciplines of Destrucityā€ post so it gets ā€œropedā€ in as I always thank those for reading. To those readers who read my work complements keeping Warrior’s messages alive~~~ even after all these years. I hope something resonates to keep you learning or just remembering. When I had first brought out Warrior Comic # 1 a few weeks ago, I was rereading much with ā€œ My Heart is Fullā€ like the title. I used the photo and after looking up close at several passages, knew I had these words to start July.

Many may recall me first reading and looking at the story back in 1996 while still living in my childhood home. Warrior’s beliefs stayed with me and never left in so much as copying down his ā€œ 8 Disciplines of Destrucity.ā€ Today though, I’m focusing on another aspect of his beliefs. It concerns breaking down his idea of Destrucity and how it connects to how I was raised. No, not with his words but similar words that I only recently put together like a puzzle he references. I actually had to categorize as to not get confused somewhat by what he believed, subsequently wrote, and then translated by me.

I will touch on all that here but first a quick review for those unfamiliar. No worries as I had his comic handy just in case. I’m calling this ā€œ The Galaxy of Selfā€ because I loved his ideas and he was very much about believing in what makes YOU be able to be here. It can be confusing as when first reading 29 years ago, I didn’t fully understand but now I do. So, let’s begin with Destrucity as it represents a ā€œconstellation in the Heavens which symbolizes the Eight Disciplines by which warriors choose to live their lives.ā€ I’m not listing them all as that was the post years ago. To those wondering, it isn’t Heaven exactly but a part of it, like a galaxy. ā€œ The Terrain of Testamentā€ is part of Destrucity as a higher level where destinies and evolutions coincide. That is where higher selves or the soul part of us have fulfilled what they set out to do or accomplish in their current lifetime. Lastly, and this phrase was quite popular with the Ultimate Warrior character for many years is ā€œ The World of Parts Unknown.ā€

That place (if you will) gets its own paragraph because of the history which connects to fans of his everywhere. My past post focused on the eight disciplines which encompasses Destrucity but this one is breaking down the OTHER ideas contained within that galaxy. The world of parts unknown is where souls reside who have not yet mastered the disciplines or learned lessons they needed to understand when in their most recent incarnation.*THIS * is where my new thinking came forward. When growing up, I had learned like many about Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. What’s that word you might be asking? Well, it’s that ā€œresting placeā€ or in between worlds I learned as part of religion classes. Yep, that’s parts unknown as Warrior called it. Can any of you connect those two words like I did?

*NEVER * again will I ever reference it in a manner connecting to Warrior and let’s say~~~ where he is now. After being gone from Earth these past 11 years, he is no longer in parts unknown I believe. Sure, as fans we can and probably have said that hundreds of times about him as it became quite the common phrase. We also do not fully know all the details of an afterlife if one chooses to believe like I do. There are lots out there of people experiencing out of body experiences (OBE’s) or near death experiences (NDE’s.) We can’t fully know when it is our turn to return. Will you be in parts unknown or as I learned Purgatory for a bit? Our soul knows but our body does not. We get to decide like our destiny. It is not written in stone and can be changed.

Is Warrior in that part of Destrucity he referenced as The Terrain of Testament, where he mastered all he needed to learn on Earth? I don’t have that answer either but with those eight disciplines he listed, I believe he has. As souls, we have the ability to go where we wish when in the heavens or galaxies of constellations but we can return if we choose to begin again with new lessons to learn. Unlike the simile of Purgatory equating his parts unknown, reincarnation was never a concept taught to me by anyone in my faith when growing up. It is not a belief held by many in the western world but is coming around to more understanding. I certainly know it to be true~~~at least for me with my experiences. If this isn’t for you, I totally get it.

I am still awestruck 😯 on how Warrior identified with these words or where he got the information from. I gotta say, he did not get that thinking from other spiritual seekers as it’s too personal in nature. He mentions the ā€œhigher selfā€ many times so even without fully knowing the details, my belief is it came to him through a higher power, God source, or intuition. He had some inner knowledge of knowing and what * GUTS* it takes to write them down for the world to see like he did. He was a channel bringing messages to life. Always a risk taker, but so worth it.

To summarize his beliefs, Destrucity is a place in the Heavens with different levels. Spiritual folks do talk about Heaven in that way. The Terrain of Testament is a higher level where souls have learned their disciplines and where most reside. Parts unknown is like Purgatory or what many were taught to be that in between place before attaining the higher realm. I hope this makes sense but again, your beliefs are yours to have. We need our own Galaxy of Self to know what is true for us. Live in the NOW, but still create your destiny. If you do, someday you will not reside in parts unknown but evolve as your higher self needs to. Do you believe in a Heaven where there are different realms? Take info you see, read, listen, or watch and decide what you believe. Let’s all attain to The Terrain of Testament because parts unknown might mean you get another chance to return. Warrior believed in multiple lifetimes as do I. How about you? The soul is infinite and it is our true home. Our galaxy of self…

P.S. I realize spirituality isn’t for everyone but just truly give it a read. We are all placed here to be open to higher learning. Stay curious and inspired always… šŸ™šŸ»šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø

My Happy ā€œ Harmotionsā€ šŸ˜¬šŸ˜

Yes, warriors that is a word as I did look it up. Guess it’s some computer game, but that certainly isn’t my definition! Warrior had ā€œ Destrucity,ā€ I can have ā€œ harmotions.ā€ I was thinking too much in my head (super typical) and somehow combined hormones with emotions so there you have it, a new word of mine. I laughed so hard and decided it fit perfectly with today’s post. šŸ˜‚ After all, there are words like ā€œ kranchā€ and ā€œ hangry,ā€ right? Last week’s very emotional post made me know I need the humor back and my bet is, you do too. That pic you see of a plush Ultimate Warrior was sent to me by my cousin the day we were heading to TN for my niece’s wedding in December! I got it from her shortly after we arrived~~~ how awesome was that? To know she was thinking of our travels and my anxiety means the world. I never asked her where she spotted him as she included no explanation, but it made the rest of the day truly ultimate. I just had to use it as a photo, of course! Isn’t he great?

Another happy ā€œ harmotionā€ happened a few weeks ago on a Monday night. My Ohio State Buckeyes college football team became the 2025 National Champions! They were facing those Irishmen~~~ Notre Dame. I usually don’t follow that much but when one of my OH teams gets to a final, you bet I’ll be watching. Just like when my Cavaliers won the NBA title almost 9 years ago now as many probably know who they faced! Hint if you don’t here… It’s been mentioned many times and is also in my book. Gee~~~ I wonder what their team name is? šŸ¤” ~~~ Getting back to college, it was a great game but OSU was blowing their lead. Notre Dame could’ve tied it and even went ahead, but that did not happen! The Bucks won 34-23 without an overtime. I was so super excited to see them win but there’s more. The last time they won was in 2014. See where this is going? That was 11 years ago and they also won by 11 points. There’s a great number connection once again. The master number I have referenced before so how about that? ā¤ļøšŸ©¶šŸˆšŸ‘šŸ»

It gets better warriors. Shortly after the win, I had realized about that number 11. I put it together with the date of their last win (made me think of Warrior) and the points won by. My right ear started ringing. Yep, it sure did so thanks Warrior~~~ message received. Happy harmotions again because I always believe. šŸ‘‚šŸ» šŸ¤ It was a fantastic night, but boy do I hate nailbiter games! It’s always fun when our sports teams win a biggie because of the rarity. Other teams win much but Ohio does not so our fans are expected to go a little nutty. 🌰 Hey, a buckeye is a nut and that’s our state tree. ā€œ Brutus the Buckeyeā€ is also the team mascot for anyone wondering. He could so fit with the Golden Era of the WWF years having the double B’s. Just not ā€œBrutus the Barber,ā€ ha ha!

Do any of you have some happy harmotions going on lately? OK, it doesn’t need to sound like your teen years with that word combo but come on, we need those moments of giddiness sometimes right? I love when I get mine and that’s why sometimes have to jot them down if they can get used in a post. I know many of you don’t do that but just think of some stuff that gave you those great feelings! It’s kind of like my cloud 9ļøāƒ£ ā€œgo tosā€ of a few weeks ago. I bet you have yours and you know what? Just because we are adults doesn’t mean the joy filled child like antics need to go away. Alright, we do need to be responsible but just once in a while it is OK to be a little nutty! My daughter even said how I got more excited than her dad did. She said to him : ā€œ Mama gets more into it than you.ā€ She meant her dad. Aren’t guys supposed to get into the game more? He does and did but my harmotions always overtake many situations. Sometimes that’s a good thing but then other times, I have to keep it in check. Are you like this?

You readers who follow frequently know that aspect about me, especially concerning Warrior and all my years of sharing on here. Really though, it can be anything and yes~~~ I do have other times that bring up the harmotions. Will you start using that word now? I have to keep auto- correcting it!!! I hope you do or just create your own. That just came out of me and was very spontaneous. It’s the best feeling and I laughed a long time about it, still kinda am. 🤣🤣 We need to find those bursts of happy things in many ways. I get tickled over a great meal, a song I hear, ( you all know this,) a new place to visit, or anything similar. Our lives have to be shaken up a bit just like how UW shook those ropes. Life will have its crazy promos that no one can make sense out of but you. We also have that moment of splashing down for the win. Yes, those were references to UW for non-wrestling fans wondering ā€œhuh?ā€ but they fit here metaphorically speaking.

Find your happy harmotions warriors. It doesn’t have to be hormone crazy, but perhaps harmonious instead based on a blissful emotion. There, I adulted it up a bit for you all. Warrior had that sense of humor when he wanted and most didn’t see it much. Mine is quite the same. I’m glad there are some memories out there with him because take it from me like I have said~~~ he STILL is funny. I can and do speak on that so believe if you wish. Here’s to many happy harmotions in your life. Be open to anything that fills you up in the best way. Mine were that plush UW doll, a football game win, and the number 11 with my ear ringing. A 3ļøāƒ£ count, yay!

P.S. You can also get back to WWF here with happy harmotions being HH! Wait~~~ no, not Hulk Hogan! BTW, I heard he just became a Grandpa to twins! His daughter is now a mom. ļæ¼šŸ’™šŸ©·

The Spirit of BELIEF šŸļøšŸ’™šŸ¤

Yes, I do realize those two words have been used plenty on here and most importantly with my book title, but there really weren’t any other choices for today’s post. A few weeks ago~~~ you read a lot of anger from me, laughter last week, and now this one is of the spiritual variety. I had to get back to that soon enough, right? Who would’ve guessed with both kids in college that one could still give me ideas!? My girl is at it again. šŸ’” I almost used the word ā€œpaperā€ with the title as I recall my story of being a senior in high school, writing a history paper and doing research at the library. That’s when I found the WWF magazine with Ultimate Warrior on the cover… *** Let’s get back to the present though with my college freshman’s elective course on DEATH… Yep, she’s kind of fascinated with some aspects and it can get a little morbid. This is about the GOOD though~~~ mostly an afterlife and spirit world (like my book) or whatever you’d like to call it. All of this is ONLY possible if you believe. It’s all about belief.

Before I get into some of this, I’ll just mention this week’s photo along with last week’s. These two I have always wanted to use and yet hadn’t. Last week’s image of UW was sported on a WWE truck years ago as all three Warrior girls had posed in front of it. It’s super popular and I can’t believe it’s never been posted! This week’s motorcycle has also been around as I always wondered who had taken it. šŸ¤” Who knows what happened to his custom built bike as I have never found that out. There are endless photos to use as I only need a few more for this year… *** Despite some possible skeptics or unbelievers, let’s move into my girl’s almost finished paper.

First off, I was honored that she asked me for help considering her mom is no expert but she knows what I’ve been through, explored, and topics relevant to my life. Next, she decided to focus on primarily the afterlife but also reincarnation, animal spirits, and immortality. It all connects. I shared with her a few books and authors I am aware of although she can google on her own. I know it’s a little confusing, especially based on what we have been taught and then quite possibly how we evolve when older. Many many points she wrote I had to repeatedly correct her on because technically, they aren’t facts. Again, it’s all about a belief system and not necessarily what can be proven. I have said a few times that my initial beliefs aren’t totally gone, they have just become more open minded to other ways. Also, I have had personal things happen to me and even been told things by those I trust so it takes a new turn when it affects your life.

I remember one question she had asked me was this : ā€œ if we leave our body when we die, how is it possible to be up in Heaven ( or whatever else you’d like to call it- parts unknown) and do things?ā€

She’s referencing the belief once again that when our soul returns, we can experience all that we loved up there as it was on earth. We may possibly choose to come back at another time. If this doesn’t resonate with you, that’s OK but how can you not believe that beautiful image? We don’t have physical proof of course but there are many who have endless stories of being hypnotized or brought into visiting those who’ve passed on through well-known mediums. It’s like visiting briefly because of various reasons, but then being brought back to remember. Yes, you can read endless accounts but if you have little or no belief, this post isn’t for you entirely. *** PLEASE*** keep reading though!

Let’s go back to the photo of Warrior down below on his beloved motorcycle. If any of you recall, I had shared how that was something I mentioned every day during my meditation. I like to say all of his favorite activities or hobbies, at least ones I knew of. For those who are still actively grieving someone or holding onto anger, just imagine and have hope they ARE doing what they enjoyed HERE. Think about someone you know who is passed and despite sadness~~~ picture them in places they loved, interests that gave them joy, or being with people that they were close to. Yes, we will always miss them but we need that hope and belief to cling to. I know for me and all my loved ones, that technique totally works every single time. Just like picturing Warrior on his bike. It fills me with joy too, just like it probably did for him or still does. Don’t get me wrong. I do not go around all day conjuring up images of passed people. That is not my work. Believe it or not, our loved ones DO want to help us in any way that they can. ā¤ļø

If any of you fans have his first comic book~~~ which I wrote about many years ago, it is filled with two full pages where he writes about past lives, evolution, intuition, our higher self, and so much more. You’ll also read about his beliefs of ā€œ Destrucityā€ which mirrored Buddhism and spirituality. It relates how one must master these attributes in order to evolve, even after we pass.

I will link the wonderful YouTube conversation I had with my fellow published author cousin where we discussed many types of spiritual topics and how much can be revealed through dreams. It’s about what happens when we die so if interested, check it out. Just ignore the end where I reference my website which no longer exists… I could go on and on about all this and more, but I will leave it brief for now. Whatever your believes or how they have involved, just be intentional and believe in the good. Also know that terms you use don’t truly matter. Our Creator , (if you believe in any words) or an afterlife, Heaven, spirit world, etc., are just human words to help us understand a little more. You may not even believe our souls move on or that we can also communicate with our passed loved ones. Experiences may never happen for you and that’s fine. Just remember you are loved and make the best of your life here. This can be our Heaven on Earth as one of my authors states in her book. *** I’ll let you know how my girl’s finished paper turns out. We all have beliefs. It’s up to you though to see them through. Your spirit will always believe… ā˜ŗļø

Disciplines of Destrucity

*** Before I begin today, just wanted to share with you Warrior fans some news. It was recently brought to my attention that Dana and Steve have taken down the Ultimate Warrior website. ( U.W.com) Am not sure of when this happened but since I have referenced it, it needed to be stated on here. I totally respect their privacy and decision although it has saddened me…. No details of course but perhaps financial or even not as much content anymore, it’s anybody’s guess. If looking for gear, the WWE shop may still have U.W. items but so wish his artwork was available to view ): For those who already knew, my heart is sad 😢 but we need to try and understand their reasons which am sure were difficult to make. ~~~ You all still have ME as I was told fans want stories more now than ever. I am humbled and will continue his legacy like I always have while creating one of my OWN..,

Whew…. O.K, moving on warriors…

Destrucity was Warrior’s word in which he constructed eight unique disciplines of self-belief. I share a brief story in my book Spirit and Belief about hanging up that word with its explanations on my bedroom wall 24 years ago. I love it’s tri-fold meaning ( a 3 count works well ya know!šŸ˜‰) That photo you see is from his first comic book but you will also notice Destrucity in the book A Life Lived Forever. This one however adds the third meaning of destiny and reality that the larger book omits.

Interestingly enough, Buddhism also has a system of eight. Their beliefs entail an eightfold path for life purpose. Not exactly like Destrucity but action and effort matter in both. You can look up all those but I always wondered if Warrior knew the Buddhism similarity. Makes me think for sure. šŸ¤” He lists the first discipline as physical. This makes sense since we are physical beings here on Earth but remember the spirit is truly who we are. We have a mind that also connects to that true essence of us.

Obviously I connected with this tremendously back then or it wouldn’t have been written down and hung up. I remember getting one of those yellow legal pads and cutting a sheet of paper in half. Warrior lists matches for WMVI on that kind of paper in the book if you have a copy– just sayin’! Then, I used a red sharpie ( jogging that memory) and wrote them out with my own calligraphy style. They weren’t just words I wanted to write because they came from him. I was inspired and needed this idea in my life too. I never questioned the why of that word or any of its meanings. My soul knew it was part of my destiny also.

No, I was not nor will ever be as disciplined as he was but became willing to understand a new way of thinking. It took me years but finally I did apply some Destrucity to my life with meaning. I loved how he invented a new word with his style of belief. I actually do this too and get teased by my husband often. Mine are of course simpler and funny. Our pool jet is called the “bubbler” by me and I said that forever growing up with my first pools. I say the wind feels “blowy” outside and a few others. Do you have your own words too? I think it’s great to have a little secret language but one others will get if they know us. I’m usually the grammar queen but sometimes we just create what works. Formalities aren’t my thing necessarily and I know Warrior was like that too. They don’t always need to be a synonym but an actual new word of your invention.

You may not have Disciplines of Destrucity as an active force in your life but I bet you have others. Disciplines are tough unless they’re something we like or want to do. Not liking or needing make them more of a challenge. Instead of listing many disciplines on here, ask yourself what the hardest one is to do for you. It can be anything at all from personal situations to professional ones. Our free will always determines the disciplines we give the energy to. We need it all to thrive- yin and yang everyday.

I also made the connection with that number eight. He passed on April 8th which is so synchronistic with his disciplines being eight. So, we do have another three count with eight. Destrucity, Buddhism, and that unfortunate Tuesday in April 2014. Wow… This happens all the time and some ideas I don’t even have written ahead as notes.

So, warriors- do you follow a set of self-beliefs similar to Destrucity? I wished I would’ve saved the paper to use for this post but gained so much more on my journey. We need to always believe in order to succeed. Self-belief is also about self-care and without it, we are no good to others. I mention this often on my other site and it’s vital to our lives everyday. Warrior has integrity and wisdom listed as two disciplines also. Those will resonate with all of us in ways we choose on our life path.

You may think his Warrior way of Destrucity and self-belief was crazy but break it down smaller. Look for opportunities to apply it in any circumstance. Without beliefs, we truly cannot fully exist. My reason for writing it down then remains the same today. Thank you Warrior for your Destrucity as I believe in myself always! šŸ™šŸ»šŸ’–šŸ’ŖšŸ»šŸ„°šŸ”„

The Spiritual Warrior

Before I thought of this next post, my mind wondered what other topics to discuss. The book “A Life Lived Forever” always inspires me but then I looked at other things in my Warrior collection. The comic book caught my eye as I hadn’t paged thru it in quite some time. 22 years ago I read all of it after purchasing from my local drugstore. Sometimes I’d glance at it but then once again 4 years ago. It was too soon to pick that up as the hospital scene hit a little too close to my heart. šŸ˜¢šŸ’”

Warrior mentions “Destrucity” within the introduction and then these pages pictured near the end. Back then, the entire concept amazed me despite the mortality reference. I would just read the words and think– WOW… but now in my spiritual development, it has an entirely new meaning.

I did some research (highlighted words) as this doesn’t even include the story itself. The words “higher self” or “selves” are mentioned 17 times, “evolution” or “past lives” is mentioned 15 times, and “intuition” 4. These words meant very little if nothing to me then but I always believed anyway.

For some of you disconnected with Warrior’s spiritual nature, just read these pages. I only have the first book but that’s enough for me. When I first starting getting “signs,” I read many books and they ALL referenced these words of Warrior’s. I had no idea at the time how his mindset really was. Not a clue. At least not a strong one anyway. Those were words never in my life before and intuition I learned as “conscience.” He even references God but this can also be synonymous with Creator, Source, Divine Light, consciousness, or any other term you connect to.

Many words he used throughout his career like destiny, intensity, energy, strength, and of course spirit and belief ( wink-wink– my book!) It wasn’t until later on that he mentioned more spiritual words and boy did I pay attention! For him to describe evolution and past lives relates so well with what I am learning now. My belief system never aligned with how I view spirituality today.

The “spirit of warrior” is in all of us if we do indeed listen to that higher self and follow our intuition. That is my entire message of what I am trying to educate others on. I never picked up one book or looked at one blog during my development thinking of Warrior in this way– never. I only researched to find out what all these “signs” meant for me and why Warrior seemed so strong a presence. It wasn’t because I knew or remembered him describing higher selves, evolution, or intuition at all. There are many more magazine articles or YouTube videos of Warrior’s where these are mentioned several times.

He explains on the Ultimate Collection DVD how: ” whatever the character was in the ring was just an amped up version of who that character was outside the ring.” At first I thought– no way! He isn’t the Ultimate Warrior all the time until I realized he meant something deeper. He means deep down to the core and for him, it was the spiritual Warrior. Why do you think he was so successful with his promos or words? Yes, some thought he was strange but he already had that spiritual side within.

He used that to evolve into the character he not only wanted to be but needed to be. He honored his true beliefs and not many people seemed receptive at the time. To think I just thought he was cool and different… šŸ˜œšŸ’– Little did I know and maybe you warriors didn’t either just how much spirituality was part of his very essence. I of course, had no idea of my own really until an experience ten years ago. I never made it a big deal but again- always believed and accepted. It had nothing to do with Warrior at all.

Reading and looking at the comic book now leaves me feeling too many things to describe. I am so incredibly honored and amazed at how he acknowledges MY spiritual warrior all the time. This is my destiny and I find things out that always blow my mind. When others say: “He was just a character on T.V.,” I just laugh now instead of becoming defensive. šŸ˜‚ I know better and am so grateful to be included within his tribe of following my OWN spirit of warrior.

Listen to your higher self.

Evolve into your OWN spiritual warrior.

Follow your intuition everyday . ( I sign this in my books!)

~~~ My meditation everyday has always included: “Help me connect with my higher self which in turn leads me to the Divine.”
