From The Manual of the Warrior of Light

Every warrior of light has felt afraid of going into battle.

Every warrior of light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.

Every warrior of light has trodden a path that was not his.

Every warrior of light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons.

Every warrior of light has, at least once, believed that he was not a warrior of light.

Every warrior of light has failed in his spiritual duties.

Every warrior of light has said 'yes' when he wanted to say 'no'.

Every warrior of light has hurt someone he loved.

That is why he is a warrior of light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.

Hi Starlight, i loved the book too. The warrior of light is what we all are at various points in our lives, aren't we ? - like Chiron the Wounded Healer. Hari Om

So true, Anon. I think I will see another side of myself in the book the next time I read it.
