SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE
Spiritual guidance comes from the heart.
The spiritual plane keeps the warrior steady in battle.
Spiritual values help to guide decisions.
A wise warrior knows that without spiritual belief there may be no direction or human-
ity in life.
The warrior understands that there will be many forked roads on his path of life.
Without spiritual belief of what is right or wrong, making decisions can become danger-
ous.
A wise warrior knows that the tribe will draw strength from him.
Sometimes it is the spiritual force that guides one through the darkness.
Without spiritual belief, and an understanding of what is right or wrong, a warrior is
destined to walk the wrong path.
Like the great eagle that soars high above, so too shall those who carry the spirit of
honor, respect and dignity to others.
It also takes the power of spiritual guidance to carry out the undesirable tasks of war.
Remember, you are in a position of power, in a place where you can teach, share and
guide others, the greatest asset you will ever possess is your honor and dignity. Your actions
and comments are like chisels that make a permanent mark on the stone tablets of those who
know you. You can be a great warrior or a wolf in sheep’s skin…not to be trusted. Live with
honor and share what you may have whether it is knowledge or power, for when you die you
will be remembered for what you have left on the hearts of those you left behind.
Lead with honor, dignity and respect for all members of the tribe.
Without spiritual strength, one can be easily broken.
The spiritual strength of the chief will guide the tribe and all its children.
Spiritual strength is like lighting a torch in a dark cave.
