Using the "armor of light”

[jafar]

I was confused by this quote from the bible because it seems to have a heavy dose of control energy (STS) to it: obedience (submission) to human/god's laws since the humans are appointed agents of god. And if one obeys these divinely-appointed agents, then one gains the favor of god?

Fully agree, yet through understanding of STS and their characteristic, one will eventually understand the characteristic of it's opposite, the STO.

And thankfully we have a bundle which contain both, namely the bible.

You are not divine and you are not god.
If you obey these divinely-appointed agents, then you will gain the favor of god.
If you disobey, then you will earn the punishment from god.

Try flip the above statement to the opposite...

Does this obedience which presumably pleases the god (and appointed human agents) grant one access to the armor of light (riches of god)? 

According to the quote's author yes..

I raise these questions because I (choose to) believe that an armor of light is a metaphysical endowment or gift that we all receive, indeed that resides within each and every portion of creation. Like a part of our metaphysical DNA. It is not something that needs to be earned per se. 

Although the your statement is the opposite to the concept offered by the quote's author, but I fully agree with you.

I've put an example of "Pranic Shield" above.
Everyone, by default, have the "Pranic Shield".

What differentiate between one and the other is:
1. The awareness that they do have the pranic shield.
2. The capability to direct and control the pranic shield.
3. The strength of the pranic shield.

It's similar to; everyone by default have legs, but the legs of a marathon athlete and a couch potato is definitely different. One is well trained the other is untrained.
