I find there are two battles going on: the outer one in the world, and the inner one inside of me. They are both raging away.
In many ways the inner one against your personal demons, failures, and weaknesses is the harder one.
"Spiritual warfare" indeed it is.
The inner work is most important. We are clearing and purging not only our own lifetimes here but our ancestral ones, as well.
We are all being tasked with this. Their are no shortcuts, no way to go around it; the only way is through.
You will know you are making progress when you are not triggered as much as before, you feel lighter, less anxious, less reactive.
