Soldier's Heart
Important for all warriors, however, is that they realize the crying for what it is. Those coming home without an appropriate cultural and spiritual welcoming are destined to experience soul disorder. It may take many years to come to terms with this loss of identity, and in the meantime those inflicted may instead begin to identify with the disorder itself. Vietnam War veterans have been living in the dark for more than 30 years. It's all they know, even if they have had profound healing. The tears that seem to flow without reason do not indicate they have lost soul once again. The crying is not grieving about the war. It is an expression of the pain stored in the soldier's heart. Warriors will always be different from non-warriors.
There's more room in a broken heart. One can never erase the horrors of war. Hearts have been broken in so many ways, but the scars that mend it back together leave more room with a larger aperture for the reclaimed light from the "Being within" to shine. When warriors die, they know that they're going to heaven, because they've already spent their time in hell. Leaving the hell in the war, realizing the identity with soul, understanding tears for what they are, the warrior becomes a unique character within his society that traverses above the rest with honor and wisdom. This accomplishment makes them spiritual warriors and they no longer have to die to experience heaven. Heaven is on earth for the spiritual warrior with a soldier's heart.
