Speaking of light, thinking about what small places means..I had the insight that it's a reference to light itself that is within and all around, since everything is built of light. I see the Confederation as actually working with your lightbody or unifying with it..so attempting to inform and raise your vibration through the very light itself that your body is made of. You could say the Confederation is actually every part of you, buzzing within each particle of light, calling/guiding that vibration upwards.
"The second class of those who ward this process are those of the Confederation who have the honor/duty of standing in the small places at the edge of the steps of light/love so that those entities being harvested will not, no matter how confused or unable to make contact with their higher self, stumble and fall away for any reason other than the strength of the light. These Confederation entities catch those who stumble and set them aright so that they may continue into the light."
