We are all one, but know what is you and what is 'not you'. When there is fear, know where it comes from and when there is 'love', know where that originates and how that flows. It's remarkably simple, since nothing is hidden that we don't wish to be hidden. But unless and until we know ourselves, we are subject to the vagaries and imbalance of the unconscious and the free will of others choices.
Thanks. I didn't receive that from you initially.
I see merit knowing yourself. So, when experience happens, we are more aware.
I don't see worrying about negative entity influence as a step to knowing self. I see allowing the experience to play out is a step in knowing self. The more love, even naive love, we practice shapes the self we will come to know after any experience.
