If I'm not mistaken, the term spiritual warrior has ancient beginnings. It's not just about jedi warriors and all of that. A spiritual warrior is one who recognizes that personal power comes from overcoming a war within one's self. A war for correct thinking, correct action. There are probably other folks in the forum who can further explain the term, but I'll try. As a spiritual warrior, one is constantly aware of outside influences or automatic responses that keep one from the true spiritual path, the positive one. For example, the warrior must not make assumptions, the warrior must not take things personally: as no one does anything because of you. Everyone is part of the collective consciousness, "the dream" and the warrior can step outside of this, be objective, and relinquish the parts of the dream that are holding him/her back or causing negative action. Success comes from right action based on winning the personal war, taking one's own power back.
