The Gladiator, the Barbarian, and the Warrior

The Gladiator is a military servant of the state. He obeys the state believing that who he is serving is doing what is necessary to keep the people in alignment with the purpose of the state he serves, or the higher cause the state has implied. He believes his passion for those he serves is for the greater good of all concerned. Even if the people he is warring against does not see this cause, the gladiator does not see beyond what the state has implied. The state provides everything that is necessary for the gladiator to force what the Gladiator perceives as justice. This justice will be forced on everyone that stands in the way of what the state has decreed.
The Gladiator sees his state as being all powerful. He will abide by the state because it is impossible for him to see anything more powerful than his state. Nor does he believe that his state is in error. He will serve his state without question unless and until something occurs that will change his mind.
The state the Gladiator is serving is bound to fail. History bears witness to this fact. Slowly but surely, those who are being forced to serve the state will eventually reclaim their right to live the way they choose.

The Barbarian sees the flaws of the influence of the state. He does not want to  serve the state no matter what the state implies. He sees the state as taking something that the State does not have a right to.
The Barbarian understands that the state is unjustly imposing its will onto his people. This injustice is not just a matter of having their livelihood stolen, and their family being murdered, it is a matter of freedom
As much as the state would like the people to believe that what they are doing is for the best of everyone, the Barbarian will eventually rise against this forced injustice. He understands that the state does not want for him what he wants for himself. For this reason, he will use the anger in his passion to fight against the Gladiator that is serving the state.
Eventually, the Barbarian will win out. However, the implications of this win will eventually turn towards a military state that will raise up their own Gladiators to force peoples of other tribes to accept what the people of these tribes do not want.

The Warrior is in a class of his own. He does not fight for the state, or against the injustices perpetrated by the state. He does not interfere in external matters, as his devotion does not involve attempting to make a state right or wrong.
Instead, the Warrior is defined by a whole sense of what is honorable and noble, not to just himself, but to everyone concerned. This is an internal sense of pride that takes years of appreciation to develop.
When something interferes with his whole sense of appreciation and understanding, the warrior will move into action. This is not to prove that the state is right or wrong or to prove those who are opposing the state is right or wrong. Instead, he will respond to his inner sense of justice.
The Warrior's justice is not to take any ground that does not belong to him. Nor is it necessary to war against the state as proof that the state is in the wrong. Instead, the Warrior responds because his whole sense of integrity has been violated. When his whole sense of honor has been threatened, he will use whatever means are available to  protect this sense of wholeness to re-secure the integrity of wholeness.
The Warriors passion serves a whole sense of justice. He sees beyond the deception of the state by dismissing it from the realm of possibility. However, whenever the state enters and threatens his inner sense of peace, he will protect this because he understands that giving any part of the whole inner space he has claimed must be protected no matter what the cost.

Which are you? The Gladiator, the Barbarian, or the Warrior?  Do you engage in Gladiator battles for the state, speak of Barbarous acts against the injustices of the state, or are you engaged in protecting the wholeness of peace within your Inner Sanctuary?

The Heavens rely on whole peace to define reality. This is why there is no such thing as a spiritual gladiator or a spiritual barbarian. However, there is such a thing as a Spiritual Warrior.

If you want the protection of the Heavens, learn to protect your peaceful inner Sanctuary. The Heavens use Living Laws to protect those who protect their inner peace. "Stand still and see the Salvation of the Lord," means to remain within your inner sanctuary of peace. Here the Heavens will protect you.
