Dismiss The Soldier... Release Him/Her

"Normally we will not discharge our loyal soldier until he shows himself to be wanting, incapable, inadequate for the real issues of life—as when we confront love, death, suffering, subtlety, sin, mystery, and so on.  path to heaven....... Every initiation rite I studied worldwide was always about "dying before you die." When you first discharge your loyal soldier, it will feel like a loss of faith or loss of self. But it is only the death of the false self and is often the very birth of the soul. Instead of being ego driven, you will begin to be soul drawn."

(Richard Rohr. Falling Upward)
