This is Andrew Cohen's latest "Quote of the Week," which you can subscribe to here. In celebration of the 20th anniversary of his teaching work, it's taken from one of his earliest teachings. It's called "A Sword in Each Hand":
If you dare to take up the banner of enlightenment, you will be attacked from all sides. From the inside you will be attacked by your own mind and from the outside you will be attacked by everyone else's mind. Anyone who dares to succeed automatically presents a huge threat. If true freedom is going to survive within you, you have to be willing to fight for it. You have to have a sword in each hand at all times. One sword is for your own mind and the other sword is for everyone else's mind. You must be ready to use them. Anyone who wants to be truly free must be willing to stand alone in the truth.

Does he comment at all about which sword should be more powerful? I think it's a tough call. I think maybe the one for one's own mind should be more powerful. Others' minds tend to influence one's own mind… anyway, that's just a thought.
I really needed to hear this today, thank you :)
