Not everything is a Negative Greeting

[Plenum]

I was speaking about this to one of my friends the other day, and they were querying my stance on Protection Rituals. They themselves had gone through a time earlier in their seeking when they used Banishing Rituals, and had had experiences where this seemed necessary.

but they also felt that as they progressed, the internal balances had become greater, and so the 'greeting' or 'attacks' would find less of a foothold; ie a less distorted person has fewer distortions to take advantage of.

I also read this today, and if I may quote a fellow forum member:

I do see an increasing number of people (and NOT just on this forum) seeming to become fixated on negative attacks, perceiving every stroke of foul luck as harrassment from a negative entity (again, I have been a big contributor to this). I sort of feel like too much emphasis has been put on this phenomenon...this pushing the fact that if you do anything good you're automatically going to draw negative contact. There are people who have experienced nothing as of yet, but are already EXPECTING to be attacked, which of course is going to open a window for attack...that's like laying down the welcome mat. You're already creating a space in your mind for these negative entities to fill.

Of course, I am well aware that there are some people who do experience severe psychic attack, and I am in no way undermining their experiences. In severe cases this is a problem that simply can't be ignored, but I believe that thinking about it all the time, checking your closet for negative entities every night is only exacerbating the problem. Basically, if a negative entity decided to bother you, this is just CATALYST, nothing more. It's the same as someone being mean to you at work or cutting you off in traffic. You have the CHOICE of whether or not to let it get to you. If you handle it as you would in any other situation, with love and acceptance, it is allowed to pass on freely, both parties allowed to be of service in their own way. If you fixate on it and start creating a nexus of fear, well...what do you think these guys feed on?

which sort of restates the position that everything that enters your experience or consciousness is there for a reason: it is a learning tool/device. We tend to shy away from negative or unpleasant experiences because they have a tendency to disturb our normal routines of life. It is an inconvenience. But they too, offer a way to draw love and light from situations that are not 'comfortable' to our current state of being.

where is the lesson in the current moment?
