There are three tiers: the inner life, life, and war. The first demands utmost strength of spirit and mind, the second demands it more so, the the third and last demands the might of heaven in bodily form ready for a fight unto death and ready foremost for a cross to be crucified upon, a sword by the hand, and a shield on one's side, the last requires a fight to death in the flesh, the first in spirit. The last is the fruit of the failures of the first. Which war will you wage today?
