fire

I resonate deeply to these quotes from Nietzsche. If you interpret them as referring to the physical plane, you are way off the mark. He is referring to those moving into coherence, the next phase of human consciousness.

If you cannot be saints of knowledge, at least be its warriors. They are the companions and the forerunners of such sainthood.

I see many soldiers: would that I saw many warriors. 'Uniform' one calls what they wear: would that what they thus conceal were not uni-form.

Not to work do I call you but to combat. I call you not to peace but to victory. May your work be a fight, may your peace be a victory. War and courage have accomplished more things than love of one's neighbor. It was not your pity but your courage that so far saved the luckless.

Nietzsche's words remind me of these by Jesus:
I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!

We are undergoing a change of consciousness. What was once dismissed as "mystical" is becoming ordinary consciousness. The human species has already moved through four identifiable consciousness structures: archaic, magic, mythical, mental. Now we are opening into integral, which I call coherence.

Only those who are warriors can open and are opening to coherence, can assume their place as citizens of the cosmos. The sheep and the mild and the meek are being left behind, through rigidity and timidity. The maxim still rings true: Let the dead bury the dead!

The Marines have a battle cry: Gung Ho! Everything is thrown into the action, nothing held back. It is no less true for the Spiritual Marine, the Warrior of Spirit.
