Two men, yet the same two men. Locked in a bitter sad combat. One a templar knight, shiny chain mail and armour wearing the white and red templar ensignia and the other dressed in neat modern fashion with dark colours. One a spiritual warrior, a man of the path and the other the common man of life.
The common man of life subduing with force the knight, how sad the knight looked, how sad the situation was, how sad the knight was that his direction, his will was not respected by the modern man and how sad it was that the superior values were being defeated.
Each time that the modern man won he pressed a dagger into the chest of the knight producing blood. Indeed when the superior values withn a person are sacrificed for inferior values the essence hurts in the heart (dagger wound) and suffers (flowing of blood).
Just why didn't the knight equipped with armour and trained for combat stand up and push the modern man aside? The knight is the path, the essence, the values of the path and the modern man is the egos, the personality, horizontal life.
The fight is always within us even when we are being influenced heavily by outside factors - that is by other people.
When we win the fight inside, that is when the knight inside of us stands up and defeats the common man, the external man, we ward off outside influences.
The knight works for the Christ within us, and so to the Intimate Christ we can ask for help to set this situation right.
In a relationship for the path, the best situation which is the situation that will give the best results for the path is when the knight in both people is standing on top of the common external man.
End (4189).
