Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.

That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it.

A Warrior of the Light knows what he wants. And he has no need to waste time on explanations.

A Warrior does not spend his days trying to play the role that others have chosen for him.
