What is meant by the phrase:
"The battle is won or lost in the mind first....long before it is fought on the battlefield."

This is easy...smeasy...
The battle, any battle really, not just in war, must be won in the mind before you can even attempt. The mind is a very powerful tool, a must when it comes to any magic. What you create in your mind you can and will create in the mundane. If you truly believe it can be so. When you allow doubt to enter the mind, you have lost the battle.
The visions you have are real and can be initiated in the mundane. If you truly believe you can move mountains you will move mountains. What gets in our way is our own thoughts on limitations we have a "humans". These are really self imposed limitations. "Surely, only the Gods can do that!" Why?
The energy others put your way also impedes your vision. When I was younger I never knew or understood why my dad was so very much against telling anyone what our plans were. I do understand this very much now. Others will negate energy and because of their own selfishness, their own ego, their own need to see others fail before them so they can be viewed as better, whether or not they even realize it or not, can put a stop to what your own vision is.
So when as witches we are instructed to keep our magic's secret we know the reason behind it. When you are doing vision work, you keep it secret. Our enemies on the battlefield would do everything they can to win their own battles, why give them the fuel they need to do so.
Keep it secret....Keep it safe. And do as you will. lolol
You tell me you can move that mountain, it is not only your mind at work here, but mine. I think...what a fool you are to even think you can do that. Even if I do not say it, it is thought and thoughts are energy. You're going to have to out think me on that one, plus put in enough energy to move that mountain without my input. You think you have enough energy and belief to accomplish that? I don't think so...

The body of Christ should be filled with the energy of the Holy Spirit always.The only safety for the Child of God is in the knowledge of Life with Christ. The Blood
of Christ cleanses us , the Cross of Christ leads us to Die to ones self. The power of the risen Lord will bring the Body through
Victory to join Him in the Heaven - lies!
Long before it's fought on the Battlefield.
Christianity is not a Religion of the mind.
It is a ''Spiritual Relationship'' with Jesus Christ our Savior. He is sitting at the Right Hand of our Father giving His Power
to us- ward who BELIEVE.
Read The First Chapter of Ephesians ,
1:18 - 23....I pray also that the eyes of your Heart may be enlightened in order that
you may know the hope to which he has called you , the riches of His glorious inheritance in the Saints, and His incomparably great power for us who Believe. That power is like the working of
His Mighty Strength , which He exerted in
Christ when He raised Him from the dead
and seated Him at His right hand in the
Heavenly realms ,far above all rule and
authority, power and dominion , and every
title that can be given , not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
And God placed all things under His feet
and appointed Him to be Head over everything for the Church , which is His
Body , the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way .

You should know that we create our reality as we go.
So often we know what will happen before it occurs because it suits our purpose. In conflict we may not take the free will of another but when tempted to take action against others and I find the strength to forgive and forget I see them frequently have bad things happen that remove them from my life. It is as if they have made a decision at a deep level to fail even if they must bring their failure about by their own hands.
There is a deeply spiritual agreement between hunter and prey that is understood by hunter gatherer cultures which should be explored again in this age of hostile corporate take overs and other overly aggressive behavior even if the harm is by decisions rather than weapons. It is a time when following the mystic path of love is increasingly difficult.

The divine light of life feeds our consciousness and is in total harmony with the divine light of reality that shines around us as the radiance of love that is inherent in all things. The divine light of life feeds this outward radiance of reality so it reflects back to us.
What seperates the two is the consciousness of the ego. This ego acts as a filter that allows the outward reality / radiance to be reflected back to us in a way that leads the ego consciousness to the state where it can reveal the ultimate good. This is done when the divine light of love is realized by the ego so that the ego becomes transparent to let the pure light of divine love shine through.
Thus the battle is only in the mind where the ego is resistant to the truth about who he really is. He is of the one.
Love is the path to the realization of the unity of the one.
Blessings an peace to all,
All in all,
B

If you make your mind up before something, that assumption is the likely outcome. Read the Art of War by Sun Tzu.
"Go into battle feeling your opponet is greater than you adn Knowing you will come out victorius." I believe is the line
It is like a giant pep talk.

It means that what happens in the world is a result of what happens in the mind. No battle can be really won if you don't believe you can win or if you fear losing {they are the same}.

Naked....is a moron.
No a wild animal knows, "feels" when he's facing a stronger adversary.
No need to fight to be sure. You just know. It's nothing philosophical, nothing intellectual, it's just real life.
Have you been outside your house should you know.
Some people are oblivious to the opponents strenght.
When you've been there before, you know.
It becomes a matter of understanding.
he who understands more has more reason to win and in the long term will win......

:-) yes I know this problem.
What one comes to believe first is what they will fight for.
Bella W answer asked me to add.
What they believe comes true if they can see it in their mind, and no one can stop them no matter how much they think about it unless they can see it like the other and cause change to the first ones vision it will happen. I know this because I have done it.

Like any sport, a battle is of a competitive nature. You go in with a wiining attitude or a losing one and the results will be as you thought it would be.

Our mind provides the blueprint of our destiny. Whatever that is "written" on it may only be changed by our response/action to it - again for another battle. Unless, of course, we rise above our mind.
