Warriors
From New Age Village
By David Gregg
Productive, organized, and grounded, Warriors are the "movers and shakers" in society that get things done. Superb strategists and goal setters, Warriors know what they want, and how to get it. The world is seemingly theirs to explore, and all uncharted territories theirs to conquer.
Although as a rule they are not excellent communicators, Warriors have an inherent sense of "street smarts" in their wiring that makes them a perfect fit for achieving success on the physical plane. In fact, it might have been the Warrior that said: life is a game, you play to win."
The most physical of all the roles, Warriors thoroughly enjoy the pleasures of earthly existence, having strong appetites for sex, food, sports, and meeting the challenges associated with success. Warriors are intensely in touch with their physicality, and tend to display strong, muscular bodies, or at the very least, solid ones. When they play, they play hard, and in physical interactions with other roles, they must be mindful of their strength, and be careful not to accidentally injure those around them. The instinctive drive of the Warrior will soften as they progress in Soul Age, but their inherent love of being physical will remain a constant.
Emotional and hot tempered at times, Warriors can be brutally blunt and even abrasive. Their intimidating physical presence can lead them to take advantage of the weak, and use excessive force to get their own way. A common misconception for some Warriors is that might makes right. They must avoid the inclination to push people around, or like a guard dog, be unduly suspicious of those that enter their territory.
Warriors love a good challenge, but can sometimes waste valuable energy fighting too many windmills, and lose the ability to discriminate between what's important. A copy of the bestseller, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff," might be a good present for the Warrior, but it's doubtful they would read it -- they are usually too busy.
"What's the bottom line?" might very well be the mantra of the Warrior. They are quick to cut through the fat of any situation and assess its merits. Whether it be at Gettysburg or the conference room of a huge corporation, Warriors are the fearless foot soldiers who will go to the front line in any battle; yet, they can surprisingly have a soft side that's both maternal, and nurturing. They are also very protective of their loved ones, and can be incredibly loyal as a friend or spouse. In fact, as Warriors progress in maturation and comfortably slip into that proverbial rocking chair, peacefully viewing the world as Old Souls, their edge and instinctive drives begin to disappear, and an earthy kind of wisdom and sweetness sets in.
