Spiritual warfare occurs on two levels. To those who are aware and to those who are unaware. Those who recognize and acknowledge, and those who remain ignorant so disregard.

Which goes to say there are two types of spiritual warriors. Those who are aware so are active, and those who act without knowing. The human concept of reality lays the foundation for the battleground. If you are conscious of spiritual warfare, you involve the concept of God. The unconscious deny the existence of God and act on their basic physical perceptions.

Two perceptions of reality co-existing in one world. The battle of the warrior is most difficult since he must battle all the acts of both the conscious and unconscious. The unconscious being the greater battle because to battle ignorance is almost futile.

Both perceptions of reality break down to other perceptions. The spiritually aware have countless organized separate teachings that dangle their bait to attract you to their way of thinking. These are the various religions around the world.

The unaware have organized separate teachings of their own. These are also divided, into politics and science.

If we can consider the concept of the interacting energies that make up the spiritual realm, and that all perceptions create these energies, conscious or not, then the most effective way for the warrior to battle is by the energies he himself creates.

The basic cause for spiritual warfare is what every individual creates with their attitudes and judgments. Disagreements in opinions, perceptions, and the free will to fight for what each individual believes is true.

The spiritual warrior must be mindful of his own actions for this is the fruit that others feed from to create those attitudes and judgments directed towards them. If a warrior does not want to attract negative energies, consideration for what others "think" must apply.

There is a line from a Tool song: over thinking, over analyzing separate the body from the mind. In regards to ego and conscious thought - or the one whole conscious - thinking is the ego. The self trying to understand and give reason. The mind is the one whole conscious that knows, and it is suggesting that when the ego is thinking it separates the body from the conscious.

We as a warrior, want to have our conscious directing the body to act without creating chaos. If we allow the ego to be in charge, we act without conscious. Thinking separates the conscious mind from the body.

Another line in the song: reaching
