The Unknown Lightworker: The Lightwarrior

To open this discourse, here are the basic definitions of which this article will be speaking:-
Lightworkers: those who soothe the soul, inspire the masses, heal the mind and/or body, and teach seekers the ways of truth and light. Lightworkers do their functions both in public and private, and are those beautiful souls that are sought when there is another in need. Their methods are mostly gentle, nurturing, encouraging, empowering, or enabling in nature. The lightworker sees the beauty in all things, all the time.
Lightwarriors: those who make known all sides of any given issue or topic. Those who defend and fight for light and truth, either in the earth or astral realms. Those who restore, fight for, and keep balance in all things. Lightwarriors can and often do those things that lightworkers do as well, but most often in a closed and one-on-one setting, and methods used may differ than those of most light workers. The lightwarrior methods may include the diplomatic but direct approach, bluntly honest in nature, but offering encouragement and support where needed and warranted. The lightwarrior approach may range from gentle and nurturing to a more intense, empowering "tough love" approach. Lightwarriors are aware of both sides of the coin, and defends the light by making all sides of an issue known, no matter how unpleasant or controversial. Everyone in the new age/spiritual scene is familiar with what a lightworker is. What is unknown though, is the "hidden" lightworker that you may have seen them from time to time. They are the lurkers that sit in rooms, or various forums, and it seems the only time they speak up is when something controversial comes to the surface. Seeming cold, logical, and often times seeming negative, they are often misunderstood and disliked among the lightworker community.

Welcome to the world of the lightwarrior.

The lightwarrior is silent, watches the flow of things around them. The lightwarrior is a staunch defender of the light and of truth (in all its various forms). The lightwarrior respects all paths and beliefs, but is quick to jump to the forefront of things if there is something important to be said. Often times the message the lightwarrior brings is against the grain, against the fabric of what most lightworkers believe or hold.

Lightwarriors restore balance.

Lightworkers and lightwarriors are two sides of the same coin, but many times end up warring with one another. Both breeds have a shortsightedness to them, and each needs the other to bring forth a complete, balanced whole. Lightworkers, in all their beauty, tend to be blindsighted by such, often oblivious to, or totally denying the existance of darkness, polarities, and those things which fight against that which they uphold. Lightwarriors tend to be intense, often appearing to lack love and compassion, and speak from the viewpoint of blatant honesty, no matter how blunt or controversial. The lightworker needs the lightwarrior to bring to light those things which could block or hinder their growth or path. The lightwarrior needs the lightworker to see the beauty in all things, to soften and loosen up, and to let the love within them come to the surface. Therefore, lightworkers and lightwarriors are balancing factors for one another-- they need each other.

Lightwarriors are defenders.

Lightwarriors defend light, fight evil, and make known those obstacles which could block the progress of spiritual seekers. With this in mind, this brings forth the different types of lightwarrior:
The astral defender:
In the astral realms, it is the lightwarriors who are unseen as they go into battle against those dark forces who attack innocent souls both on the physical realm and in the astral realm. In gatherings of lightworkers where a psychic vampire is present and seeking a target, it is the lightwarrior that confronts the attacker and defends those that have been targeted.
The defender of truth:
Mentioned above, it is this type of lightwarrior that tends to draw the most fire. The defender of truth knows that truth itself is highly subjective, each having its own meaning to those experiencing it. What is truth for one person might not be truth to another. The highly subjective nature of truth, and the infinite ideas that truth represents, provide a unique challenge to the lightwarrior. The lightwarrior speaks ideas to the masses whenever he/she sees an area of concern that needs addressed. The lightwarrior knows that not all lightworkers have the same level of discernment, and is aware that with the subjective nature of truth-- his/her ideas may not resonate with all, and is therefore left open to attack by those of whom his/her words may not resonate. The defender of truth's style of speaking may vary from lightwarrior to lightwarrior, but often times it is the bold and upfront approach taken by some that tend to inspire one group of lightworkers, while drawing reproach from others. Many times those in support of the lightwarrior will voice their words in private, while those against the lightwarrior will voice their opinions publicly. This tends to give the appearance that the lightwarrior is speaking to an empty room, and sometimes leaves their credibility in question. This is a risk the lightwarrior is aware of, and is willing to take in the name of the greater good.

Sometimes, there are some perfectly balanced lightworkers who are a perfect balance between the lightworker and lightwarrior, carrying within them traits of both. These are rare, and can serve as examples for lightworker and lightwarrior alike. These beautiful souls are balance in its purest form, representing a goal of which all should strive.




So the next time you find yourself in a confrontation in someone with a differing opinion, whether it is in a forum, a chatroom, or in a real life situation, take a minute to think before speaking. Is this person worthy of your attack? Their idea may not resonate with yours, or they may be a bit too blunt or arrogant for your taste. Take a minute to absorb what this person says, as sometimes they carry a warning that could save you time and trouble down the line. Lightwarriors have no less love than lightworkers, they just express it in different ways. Keep this in mind before you pass judgment.

yup Gems got the message.thank you for the article about lightwarrior.how do we know that someone is lightwarrior?

[pirbid]

 Sounds interesting... Although I am not sure I understood if we are talking about people we can meet in this plane of existence or if we are talking about something else. I know a person who exactly fits the description of a lightworker: she is so good she hardly seems real!

Wouldn't it be nice to have a poll about which of the two figures we could see ourselves as? For example, due to my personality, I do not think I could ever become a lightworker. But it is no bad idea to work towards a lightwarrior's goals... I will just have to give it a try

This is incredible (not really, but you know what I mean). Just a few days ago I channeled some things VERY similar to this. Almost exactly the same thing. Just in different words. I'm an Astral Defender, with "some" traits of a Truth Defender. I do tend to be horribly blunt sometimes lol.

Did you channel this yourself? And if not, who did? When my Great Great Aunt (I think she's double great anyway =/) told me about this stuff (when I channled her) she said there are two types of Lightworkers. The Healers (Lightworkers), and the Sentinels (either type of Lightwarrior). I'm so excited that someone else is saying what she said. Because channeling her was the first time I've ever channeled. So it makes me feel like it wasn't just my mind making it up.

Oh, and Dhav, how you know if someone is a Lightwarrior or not is basically their overall outtake on life. Since I'm an Astral Warrior, I have a very "Life is a battle between light and dark, and I'm going to kick dark's ass" idea of life. Truth defenders might have a similar idea of life, but they apply it in a different way. They're going to be activists (like the Lightworkers). But with a Lightwarrior attitude.

Thanks again for this info Gem. If you have any additional info of Lightwarriors I'd be glad to hear it.

I used to think this way too, but we must also ask ourselves why some are the way they are, why some choose the other side or are led to the other side. We must understand each other. By doing this we will see how each plays their role and how each has their choice to make. The battle is within and not always with everyone else.

Dont really understand?

Is this a new age term for the alchemist or some hierarchy of beings in this universe?

A term like any other term, made to suit. ;)

Oh, of course. I'm learning to be more balanced. What I mean is that Astral Defender is my "base". But you're right, we all should learn how to be balanced in our lives.

There is no balance, only flow.

What I mean is understanding.  :)

As to welcoming any idea of our struggles between light and dark, we need to watch our wording.  Warrior indicates some form of violence and this does not belong in spiritual work.  

We are light beings and light is spirit vibration.  Working in that vibration we can change our world one experience at a time.

"Warrior" can also indicate struggle.

The Astral is not a foreign place. Your experiencing your world at a different level of perception. I personally haven't stood on the moon. But if you can hold the image in your mind do you really need to be there?

I have found many of my spiritual experiences to be "violent". There are many different types of violence and sometimes we have to fight in defense. We also all have our paths... our way. For some, it's the way of love and peace. For others, it's that of the warrior. That doesn't mean they are "violent", they just stand up for themselves and those who can't (or chose not to). I have found others fall somewhere between; fighting only when absolutely necessary, little as possible and with a forgiving and loving heart. I'm not sure how far this strays from the original post, just had to throw it out there. We should respect each soul's path. Even the arch angels are warriors (Michael, Rafael, etc.)

Dash, hope your still around to see this.

The 'astral defender', 'truth defender', 'light warrior' - they are words. No more then that.

Sometimes we fight to keep our light going bright. Other times we fight to make sure another light is not dimmed by another. Often times we see the light in others that do not realize it and we seek to encourage them.

If you can work on the astral then it means you can see the light and anyone that LACKS light would be considered dark.

The astral can be a dangerous place if you don't know what your doing. This is where insanity takes place if you see the astral and not mentally strong enough to handle what you see.


The warrior will fight for those that can not. They will speak when everyone is quiet. They will shine in the darkest room.

We are who we are and we are driven because we want people to share in this experience with us and will confront anyone that will hinder progression of the soul.

Society would call me a 'light warrior' but my name is Matt.

I was 16 when my interest turned to a quest for understanding. My best advice for you is if you want to understand life then begin by understanding yourself. Later in life you will meet yourself again.
